But just because I want things to stay they way they are does not mean that I don't like change. I can see how you could make that mistake though. I wanted things to stay the way they were becaue the way they were was GOOD. It was better than the way things are now. I didn't not want THIS change because I'm averse to change in general, but because I see this particular change as a change in the wrong direction.

I've said time and again that I view this particular change as a bad one, and I've given many reasons why, I just didn't think it was necessary to reiterate why in that snippet you quoted.

Of course not all threads that contain spoilers have "spoiler" in the title, that's not a rule that this board enforces, however, you SHOULD know which threads contain spoilers and which don't. Anything that has "Supernova" in the title for example, probably spoilers.

Besides, what are we talking about here? We're talking about DIAL spoilers. The full character listings are out there, they're in the worldspace, and available for spoiling. WK's policy change does not effect that, and does not prevent people from being spoiled as to who's in the set. All it DOES do is prevent potential spoilage of the full dials of said characters, and I think that most people would realize that they were in a thread that might contain full character dials of Supernova pieces, and if not, they can learn to avert their eyes as soon as they see rainbow colored blocks. Unless they have photographic memories they shouldn't get too spoiled that way.

Its just not true that you have to avoid the Forums for half the year to not have things spoiled.

On the WizKids site, I have studiously avoided reading about what happened in the Justice League cartoons and Smallville as I have been working 2 jobs and wanted to buy them on DVD when I had more time to watch them.

For the last year and a half that site has been full of spoilers for that show and yet, this week I bought Smallville season 5 and watched the first 12 episodes, and I was amazed at all the things that happened. I didnt have a clue about any of them.

I still don't know anything about who or what is on Justice League when I buy the new seasons of that.

I have constantly been in the off topic site and I just avoid the ones that refer to that.

I just can't buy this argument. From personal experience, it is just not true.

Patience is a virtue. I don't any know any great saying about willpower.

That's cool. To be honest I can't really tell you what happens on other fan sites, because I don't have much experience with them. I'm basing my experience on what has happened historically on this site. Based on that, I can't discard their arguments out of hand. This is just a case where you and I disagree, which is fine.

I wasn't asking you to. I was just suggesting that you STICK to more compelling arguments like those. Feel free to ignore me in this...I don't really have much stake in whether or not the arguments you make are convincing.

Okay, I'm done trying to convince folks that both sides have merit.

To be honest, while I don't much care whether Wizkids stays this course or goes back to what they've done for the past couple of years, my leanings will always be towards more spoilers. I like spoilers. And I require that the company AT LEAST give me a list of the figures that are in the set (preferably with pictures) before I make my decision on how much to buy. I'm certainly not one of those who will be avoiding HCRealms (or even certain threads) to avoid the spoilers.

Gacy's - I hope you're right....I hope that the Supernova set would be a mistaken-free instead of mistaken-prone like Armor Wars (quicksilver, Dazzler, Crimson Dynamo's missing ## on first click, Shaman, Crystal and Iron Monger, etc) and Sinister (Charcoal, anyone?).

Anyway I plan to attend two pre-releases event in Sacramento and hopefully no mistakes!

First...everyone and their mother getting psychic blast....now this?

Thanks for ruining Supernova.

I hate to come off all negative, but this blows.

I was thinking about going to a pre release, even though WK has already dumbed that once fine tradition down to just another local Saturday tournament that happens to cost a lot. Now this carp? Who in the hell is going to a pre release and plop down big $$ to play with dials they have no idea about? Not me, that's for sure.

I would really love to know why WK is determined to remove every last vestige of fun from the pre releases.


And there Wade is your feed back.

Why do you need to know the dials to play in the Pre-Release?

Personally I want to be slightly familiar with the dials otherwise the game is pointless...

You have NO idea what is on the dial so any strategy you come up with could suddenly become useless because of later dial powers....It makes the games between two decent or above players nearly pure luck...

Boogeyman, on behalf of Wiz Kids and comic stores everywhere
you are no longer permitted to buy any Wiz Kids products for
2 months. We welcome you business on December 21, just in
time for Christmas.

So the ability to adapt should not be a part of the game?

If some of you people do not like knowing what all of the figures
are before you open them, then DO NOT GO! Leave the fun that
some of have by not knowing what all the figures are to us!

/b1tch thread over.

It's not about adapting...adapting is when you miss an attack that you spent the last two turns setting up....

If you don't have any idea how the dials on your opponent's team are set up then there is no way to make any sort of REAL strategy...it's all just guess and check...
