He has steadily avoided me more and more over the years as my spending decreased, never mind the fact that every time I try to order things they say I should download things or oh they will be in next week. Then can't understand why I'm annoyed when its not there. But this is also the place that charges more than retail. Can't do much when they are the only show in the country. I have started building up stuff to try and game elsewhere but its a bit tricky when you live in Seoul and places here are much smaller than in the USA and Australia. Actually i have offered to demo multipul games systems and organize tournaments and such for them since they almost never have any. Or maybe I'm just unpleasant, no idea.arukihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294025800260893037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936264515291658474.post-5152226390486533352014-08-08T09:07:42.982-07:002014-08-08T09:07:42.982-07:00Have you talked to them to see if those are actual...Have you talked to them to see if those are actually the rules, or just the posted rules? I know some places will have posted up rules to discourage certain types of individuals, but the actual store is much more lax. <br /><br />(ie, the boss or corporate might require the posted rules, but they don't actually follow them).greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936264515291658474.post-16737219955206884232014-08-08T08:44:56.001-07:002014-08-08T08:44:56.001-07:00This all sounds really weird, maybe try and find/s...This all sounds really weird, maybe try and find/setup a gaming club rather than playing in store or talk to the owner and ask why he's got these rules. <br /><br />Re rules:<br />1. I guess the only reason they could validly be saying this is models getting lost/stolen in the past and the store manager not wanting to deal with that anymore <br />2. This is really stupid as you can't try stuff out and what's more who's to judge the line between a scratchbuild and a conversion? What happens if your scratchbuild looks identical to the real kit (see James wappel's chimeras)<br />3. & 4. Are quite harsh but I guess they're entitled to do so<br /><br />Personally I don't mind scratchbuilt stuff as long as it's cool and not wayyy out of proportion. Depends on whether it's just a gaming night or tournament, I mean friendly games really I do not care at all. I usually play at home or at tournaments, allowing proxies and scratchbuilds at both, (although proxies are ok when they're wysiwyg)<br /><br />Craziest rule? Idk my brother was playing a small apoc game at a GW in the UK and they were told to pack up and leave because "gaming night was starting" despite the fact that the store was deserted apart from them and they were "gaming" so wtfDimmyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11748903925658560870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4936264515291658474.post-20831788200313581952014-08-08T08:15:32.966-07:002014-08-08T08:15:32.966-07:00Maybe they just had some problem customers in the ...Maybe they just had some problem customers in the past? Did you ask any other players about it? It's probably worth seeking out some buddies' basement tables and see if there's a more open community, if not.
