*Sigh.*
Rogue Trader started out as a sort of RPG with minis, but quickly morphed into a miniatures game. Those are games with clear winner and loser. Regardless of how "narrative" you want it to be, people will want to win.
It was during 2nd edition - very early in 40K's lifetime - that GAMES WORKSHOP decided to host Grand Tournaments, and even threw in a couple of things to try to keep it balanced, such as removing a card from the strategy card deck that could just wreck a game depending on the armies involved. GAMES WORKSHOP, and the designers who made the games, decided to embrace that they made a game with winners and losers, and people like to compete.
It is ridiculous to hear people act like tournaments are something new that go against what GW and its designers intended. The guys who freaking wrote the games hosted the tournaments. Jervis and Andy would attend and help run them. IIRC, I think Tuomas and maybe someone else (Alessio?) won a tournament or two before coming to work for GW, so they were hiring people who played in that environment to come write the games for them (and people actually liked what those guys did). Games Workshop holds staff tournaments. Seriously, the people who are bashing tournaments and claiming that it's wrong for people to want to play tournaments are the ones who are actually going against what Games Workshop intends with its games.
You want "narrative" games where you don't keep track of score? Cool, fine. I enjoy games where there's a story to them and it might give someone a bonus or penalty, though we still figure out who won or lost, because, you know, that's kind of the point of a game. But in honesty, you're in a very small minority if you don't think equal competition matters. It's not a hobby of WAAC players, but everyone wants to win, and it's good to have an equal chance for everyone before you take into account factors like skill.
People need to stop perpetuating this false myth that the gamers introduced tournaments recently and it ruined 40K. Games Workshop created the tournament circuits, Games Workshop hired tournament players, Games Workshop still runs tournaments in their own offices, Games Workshop staff encourage tournaments, Games Workshop used to host a tournament system for stores, and it has been like this for twenty years or so. So seriously, just stop already.
