The time is fast approaching for the next VoteWar to take place. Once the mini is over, a Grudge Match between the Dark Angels Clan and the Space Wolves Clan will be taking place. VoteWar MkIV will start two weeks after that, which puts us right around April 13th. I know I originally said April 1st, but I think people would like a bit of a break before the big stuff hits.
The Rules -
VoteWar MkIV will be a double elimination tournament. Lose twice, and your list is removed. 24 lists will be participating, and I have one extra list of my own making to use as the "seed" list.
The seed list is when we have an odd number of contestants each round. The seed list can not score wins, but can cost you a win. The seed list is not built to take on any one army and is very balanced.
Rounds will run three days. All rounds end at 1pm Pacific Standard Time.
Voting is done as normal. The main vote will be for the list that is most likely to accomplish the mission. Wiping out the enemy is not the only thing to consider - the mission is and always will be the most important factor. Fluff votes can be cast if the voter wishes, and any fluff votes will used to decide the winner in case of a tie. All votes must be in bold to count.
In order for a vote to count, you must list reasons to why you think the battle will play out in such a fashion. "I agree" statements are not enough - you must word your own reasons, even if they've been stated before. Please try to read other people's arguements before deciding upon your vote. Though some people get long winded, they usually make extremely good arguements.
Each mission will be played with the following rules - Infiltration, Deep Strike, and Victory Points. Lists will be made out to 1850 points. Banned armies include Armoured Company, Kroot Mercenaries, and Harlequins. Also, the new Tau Empires is not legal, as it has not been out for very long and not many people are familiar with it yet. Next VoteWar we'll include the new Tau Empires codex and disallow the old Tau.
Lastly, once a list has been submitted to me, you may not change it. This is to preserve my sanity. So make sure that the list you submit to me is the list you want to run.
Current SitRep -
I have 20 confirmed lists. I still have room for 4 more players, and there are a couple of veterans that I'll be hounding to see if they're still interested. No pressure if they're not, however.
EDIT -
Submissions are now closed. I apologize to anyone who missed out, but there's always the next VoteWar.
I've tried to PM everyone back who has sent me a list with either list fixes or acceptance notices. If I have not PM'd you and you have sent me a list, send me a PM to make sure I have it. I probably do, but better safe than sorry.
I'll worry about formatting the lists as well. They'll be in the same format as last VoteWar, since that seemed to go over well with everyone.
I think that's it for the official business. Now on to the taunting.
Expect my list to be very competitive this time around. I went easy on ya'll the last two VoteWars, but not this time. I'll grind everyone beneath my heel!
Oh, and good luck to everyone, and all that.
