      I know he's a great player, but I just don't understand how he does it. We need researchers to analyze his play over the course of multiple games. It will be my doctoral.

    Hammerstrikes don't have +1 to wound, that's the thunderstrick. Either way that DW list is nutty and similar to the list I concocted when they got their new index. Glad to see it has legs

    every instance of Floof cheating that i could find with timestamps
    1:12:44 nudges squad over out of low
    1:14:22 moves 6 inch movement squad too far, gets called out (has to advance) doesn't matter as he doesn't shoot anyway
    1:24:00 los rotate incident
    1:28:43 (might be wrong on this one, could be purestrains which move 8")(nope, confirmed those are neophites)
    1:41:22 (not a cheat just funny hes measuring from his gun when he argued he could just spin his model and lose los)
    2:05:30 csm points out he pulled too many units (getting cheated and is still helping opponent)
    2:06:45 says Benefictus has 4 wounds, indistinct voice from some unmiced person, "oh she has 3"
    2:16:42 tried to move 6" units 7 inches
    2:17:51 "fall back" premoves unit, then measures, then moves more than what was measured, then bumps the model even further
    2:18:46 overmoves again
    2:59:22

    • @Shaman409
      @Shaman409 11 днів тому +8

      @@rastaog9257 yup. there was 1 instance where he declared a shot and was immediately called out for it not having vision. He immediately said something like "shit you're right" and moved on. And yeah there might have been a bit of a bias but he wasnt the one who was literally trying to argue with the judge at the end. That got a judge to measure for them, and STILL Floof wants to argue it. In ANY other game, that would be a DQ.

      ​@@dras-pv8qvAre all sports and competitions meaningless in your opinion? I won't deny that we play with toy soldiers, but I don't think it's meaningless. It can be a very fun, tactical, deep and social experience. I don't condone cheating in any way but we invest a lot of time and money into this hobby, so it sure does mean a lot to people who are invested in it.
