There are a lot of recent discussions on Faction Purity armies - blah, blah, blah - WHAT A JOKE!

You bunch of dunderheads.

Look at the top armies in the world - 2003 championship.

Is any of them faction pure!!! - NO - duh!

A lot of them are close to faction pure, but that's almost saying that someone is almost a virgin, or he is almost an honest politician!

I have gone to game against some realmers here...

hmmm interesting almost pure swordsworn - WHAT THE HECK .... BR peasants for infantry screen and a non swordsworn mech...

hmmm...self-proclaimed dragon's fury player...WHAT THE DOOF....is the SW Padilla doing in his army!

hmmm...darn bannson's raider infiltrating cheez....SHEEEZ...2 DF DONAR for SUPPORT!!

- these people are not faction pure just hypocrites!!!

WIZTOPPS made this game for us so we can NOT have to play faction pure!!!

The new set have the new brokeness of SS Arrow IV, SH Aesir, BR Towed Arrow IV, and various other goodies. They don't want us to play faction pure - they want us to use these new units.

Do any of the scenarios besides (FACTION WAR) require faction pure - no. Campaign said - please include one unit of your chosen faction!!! - yeah I will use ROTS Balac, DF Donar, I will use SH Aesir, I will use SS Arrow IV...uhmm.hmmm I will use that Liao AWE-inspiring Jung Chae (or the 12 point ATV!!!)

I have been playing classic battletech, various mechwarrior video games from PC to nintendo to Xbox. There is rarely people caring about faction purity. So drop that faction purity and play like a champion...or else stop whinning about that guy is not playing faction pure...because playing faction pure is like hmmm...playing tennis with a badminton racket and complained you don't have fun!!!

you won't make many friends.

I hate the chop soey (sp?) armies that are out there i play faction+Merc almost always (unless i don't have enough pts of a particular faction)

Faction purity is more like fluff thing and people that usually play it care lot about fluff. Those that usually play non-faction pure just want to win and they don't care #### about fluff. To them main point is winning and getting prices instead of having fun and getting in to role as chosen faction's commander that leads his or her forces in battle against others. I care lot about fluff but i can be flexible and use mixture of units from diffirent factions when needed.

Mongrel Power Forever!!

Hint - WK does not care if we play faction pure or not, as long as we buy boosters.

Hint #2 - What was the most successful event in MWDA history?? I'll give you a hint: it had to do with faction purity.

He has a point, tho.

I only play FP during the Campigns... and I can't even do that becuse I don't have and effing Liao Infantry. *sigh*

I am not here to make friends, I AM HEAR TO GIVE YOU PLASTIC CRACK ADDICT A WAKE-UP CALL. I also do mechwarrior addiction de-programming. Definitely cheaper than your plastic crack addition!!!

In terms of "Mongrel Power Forever!!" - who let the dogs out?

The most successful events was FACTION WAR!!!!
- NOT - it was the most succesful for players perspective, but not the owner's - few boosters are SOLD!.

But nearly Every player get a prize!!!

That's why the new MK FACTION WAR is SEALED BOOSTES!!! - read my lips - SELL MORE BOOSTERS!

or read my lips -
BUY CREEPY FARG (I mean Freaks)

This guy is SOOOOOO asking to get banned from posting.

Indeed. Trolls are bad.

People just get tired of playing against the same pieces almost every match which is understandable. The people who want faction purity want it so that people are forced to use the best their faction has to offer and not the best that there is available.

Personally, I really like faction purity but I don't think it's viable for everyone to play in campaign and head to head. That's why I think there should be a monthly faction wars. Not like the origional faction wars but like a campaign (with two prizes) that everyone has to play faction pure.

Depends how you collect your data. Booster sales at the event probably stunk. The army building was too complex for on the spot switches.

Sales on the singles markets was huge and this has to drive boosters. And I personally snapped up boosters prior to the WAR to bolster my VTOLs. Any massive event like this which forced players to expand their armies up to 1200 pts had to drive sales.

If I ran WKs, I'd run a Faction War every month. Track the winners and play up the fluff element. Trash talk the losers. Before long we would have FACTION WAR RAW. Nobody would care about the boring, mongrel hth anymore.

And .... Keep upping the build totals of course.

easy way to stop a troll people..... DON'T FEED HIM

hows that for stoping a troll in his tracks? you cease to acknowledge the little monkey and it gets off your back in a crack addits heartbeat. it moves on to someone else back

so one again people DON'T FEED THE TROLLS

MECH SNOOP!

As for dunderhead.. please go look in mirror.

As for few people supporting faction purity.. .. please explain to me then why over 5,000 players particpated in Faction Wars...DUH!

As for the top players NOT having pure faction .. well thats right... however IF you bothered to take a look. In Faction Wars.. THOSE PROCLAIMED HOT SHOT TOP NOTCH STRATEGY PLAYERS... humm a majority of them never made the top 50..let alone the TOP 100.

To play pure faction is a true test of one's strategic and tactical talents in the art of war. At first when I started playing Pure Faction I got my arss handed to me. As time passed, especially at Faction Wars and after, my arsss woopings payed off. Took 1st.. YES 1st with HL in Faction Wars and ever since then I have been taking top rankings against "QUOTE" the best mixed factions in our area. Funny thing is that I have been using my pure faction armies weakness to overtake my oppenants. Granted all the battles were very close but I prevail on most of them.

The mixed faction players are good using the best of the units, WHICH does not impress me at all because little brain power is needed to run these armies. Place a majority of these top players in a PURE FACTION.. they get THERE arss handed to them OVER and OVER. Kind of like a Game Counsel player put in a PC game environment.. they may BE BAD with their game pad but when you put them on a real piece of hardware the quick trigger thumb doesn't mean the are quick with the mind.(ahummm)

So in conclusion, a Pure faction army can BEAT the supposidly unstopable mixed army... and when you sit down and think about it.. it is actually easier then one thinks. THe mixed players mind is very narrow in thinking and they like to try to intimidate the players with their best units. THIS leaves their FLANKS WIDE open, gives YOU the pure faction player more freedom to open up ones tactical and strategic plans.

One last thing, for anyone who plays PF armies, don't give up, don't be intimidated, and last but not least... THINK out of the BOX.. because the mixed faction player (overall) can't see his/her way out of box.

GL to all ..

PS one last thing Mech Snoop.. as for whiners.. ITS amazing how the BAD TOP ranked players were popping out tears left and right when they got their butss handed to them in a pure faction world. Can't handle the fact that with military talents.. THEIR not so talented.

Agree with Bahoom

People just get tired of playing against the same pieces almost every match which is understandable. The people who want faction purity want it so that people are forced to use the best their faction has to offer and not the best that there is available.

- the trouble lies in 2 things
1. intrinsic jealousy of the winner
2. intrinsic greed of getting LE's

I try to switch my armies every so often, but most of the time, I end up playing the same things!

In venues where I play, there is a nice guy who shows up and wins all the time. He is flamboyant and offers good trade to everyone. But the whole venue turns sour faced when he showed up. Some people even accused him of cheating, no clicking, using loaded dice, voo-doo magic, or whatever.

This guy is absolutely pleasant to chat with, know the game inside and out, - he is just DEADLY in combat. He does good stuff by giving kids and his friends free pieces, but still other players bytch behind his back because - they are jealous of his skills. I never win, so it doesn't matter, I just earn fellowship. The trouble is I think he never wins fellowship (no one votes for him, they would rather vote for the punk kids), even tho I think he is a great classy player in and out of game.

I PROPOSE THAT the winner can also get fellowship so that it rewards good playing and good sportsmanship!!!


Dear Mtolo,

The survey was scientifically conducted with analyses by official wizkids employees and consultant Ph. D. Pretty much the bottom line is faction war equals "no increase booster sales AT THE VENUE". If you have gamed for a long time, you probably heard about the recent ban of games workshop online sales. Most game manufacturers (including wizkids) agree that online sales destroy the gaming industry, does not promote healthy community gaming, but rather hurt overall longevity of the game.

- so singles markets are mixed blessings!

- WHAT really wizkids need is WIZTOPPS PRO-TOUR!!!

Magic has it, Yu-Gi-OH gives free trips to Japan, even Decipher has real CHAMPIONSHIP.

Is Wiztopps inferior to these games? Even the new cyberpuke CCG has a cash giveaway at Gen Con ($500 clams) BTW a really bad complicated game made by a really body-aroma challenged designer promoted by a really half-### grouped of goths (the company is rich tho)!!! Locally in Washington, they can't even give the crop away.

But anyway, Pro tours will separate the fluff from the non-fluff. People still play their weekly games at the store for the low level LE's or something. At the protour, you have real players who play all over the world for big LE's and cash jackpot!

This way the fluff people is happy locally, the competitive jack-garoo can play at the higher level!

P>S> I checked ironmouse ranking on wizkids realm because he is such a great strategist

Composit 1634
Rank 1986 in the nations....I guess not many real players live in Kansas .

faction pure all the way mo fos
