    Yes, THIS information as for Line of Fire. Which is defined as line between two models/markers or moden and marker. What is gotcha about it?
    I feel like we try to put quoted sentence out of contecst of whole rule. Dunno.

    Not really. I've seen "that guy" enter a tournament and the TO allow it because they didn't want to create drama. Got to the top table, at which point one of my friends refused to play him, and conceded instead. Now this was for another system, but nothing prevents it happening in Infinity.

    I get what your saying, but I kinda disagree. We prevent that from happening in infinity. Don't play "that guy". If a TO allows it to avoid drama, then We have to create the drama. Infinity is a community game, shape it the way you want it. And if the community rejects your ideals, find or create a new community. I know, easier said than done. A community is built upon the common base of a games ruleset, so you need a strong ruleset to support a strong community, but We are the final arbiters of that community's health.

    Ok I will get off my soapbox now. 2-year-old kept me up all night, so I may be a tad grumpy today.

    Good Lord, no! I wasn't remotely trying to initiate a new intended/as written rules debate or pie slicing or nothing similar.

    I just pointed out the etiquette as what I understand is a general attitude towards playing Infinity and sportsmanship in general.

    Well, quite. Would that player be invited back? And, would you welcome them into your gaming group?

    Sure, and you can somewhat do that in your own local play group, but it's not so good when dude shows up from out of town. So tournaments are usually the place you run into that guy, or when you're first starting. And sometimes people are going to have varying opinions about who "that guy" is, and trying to get him kicked out of a tournament is going to create a lot of drama. Further most people try to avoid confrontation, in this case the TO was attempting to just be friends with everybody and it wasn't working so well. Finally in this case "that guy's" big problem was subtlying mis-informing newbies about the rules, or otherwise cheating. So he had been teaching people how to play wrong for a long time in one meta. And people who weren't paying very close attention thought he was fine.

    I understand what you're trying to say, but honestly I think you've got a simple idea of how complex social interactions can get at the local gaming store.

    huh?

    It's just a game. If a guy shows up to a store to play in a tournament, pays his entrance fee, what exactly are you going to do in your attempt at "drama"?

    If you keep saying that shit it's going to get pointed out that what you're saying has no basis in the rules, but the mods asked us not to discuss that.

    Assuming that there are a bunch of you who know how the guy plays (or how he cheats, or how he sucks all the fun out of playing him, whichever), say "If That Guy(tm) is playing, we all want our money back."

    I don't know why you're laughing; you take my posts the most seriously out of anyone on the forums. If I said the sky was blue you'd type until your fingers cramped up claiming it was orange even though you know damn well it's blue.

    Or not, considering that's what it actually is, and that for once you'd be stating something demonstrably true, rather than your usual...

    Its called setting social norms. Too many people try to avoid that by hiding behind "rules". But people can have discussions about whats reasonable and whats expected as a community.

    I think infinity does that well because the community forms around leaders of the ideal everyone wants to follow and generally backs said leaders up when they need to have the hard conversations with people trying (to quote many a infinity group rule) "be a dick"

    Suggest you watch the interplanetario final. Its not intent to the extent some people call it. But its certainly not what you advocate as been in the rules.

    Which is neither here nor there. As has been noted many a time, what the rules say and the way it's allowed to be played on the table are two entirely different kettles of fish. Being played incorrectly and let slide is different from being what it actually is. Nonetheless, it's been noted that CB prefers we not dive into this again, so comment as you'd like, I've no more to say on the matter.

    And it's a really bad thing (probably the worst thing about Infinity) that they are different.
