First time I've ever seen a mod moderated by another mod. What a modal modern moderated world of modernity we live in - every day truly is a school day.

As a serious on topic point.....does anyone actually believe this as a story?

Does anyone seriously believe that GW lawyers trawl the internet and shut down pub events attended by less than 20 people in the backwaters of the US, with official C&D letters?

Or is it more likely that a gaming club "pretended" it was so to get publicity and turn opinion against GW?

You'll note the event only 80 or so people are on the thing, and lots of those are from other countries "joining" to show "support" after it went public.

I have to say I do seem cynical about this, but then New Line did hit the hobbit pub..

Certainly seeing all the increased attention (which probably led to sales) of the spot the space marine book, jump on the band wagon and see if you can drum up customer as they show solidarity with the under dog!

See I live in Southampton, and love the Hobbit pub.

Its not a small place. Its a great place, with over 10,000 fans on facebook that regularly runs national shows, gigs and festivals and sponsors half the Uni teams.

Whereas this is as far as i can tell a one off event in a backwater place....that i have no idea what it actually is. Is it a dress up day? Or a competition? Cos GW don't stop them....
