Tynskel's Guide to Interpreting Rules

[Tynskel]

Step 1:
(this one is hard)
READ THE RULES!

Step 2:
READ THE FAQs

Step 3:
...

Step 4:
Profit!

I prefer the following:

Step 1:
Read the rules

Step 2:
Mis-interpret the rules to your own advantage

Step 3:
Complain when some pulls you up on it and engage in some debate quoting non-gaming sources and be pendantic over language usage being

Step 4:
Move argument base rapidly to avoid any counter arguments

Yeah, this one seems to be far more common around here.

Close, but I think it's more like:

Step 1:
Presume that everyone else is misinterpreting the rules to gain an advantage.

Step 2:
Glance the rules, picking out words more or less at random and presenting them as though they were an argument.

Step 3:
Keep repeating that jumble over and over again as if that would make the argument stronger.

Step 4:
Switch to name calling (dirty win-at-all-costs powergamer seems to be a favorite).

Step 5:
Get thread locked.

[Turner]

That's sounds pretty straight forward, here let me try!

Step 1:
(this one is hard)
READ THE RULES!
"...all models"

Step 2:
READ THE FAQs
Yep, nothing in the FAQ's stating that it should be different.
Step 3:
...

Step 4:
Profit!
Yeah! it should work like this! All models!

Step 5:
Everyone Else
Yeah when they say "all models" they mean only your models.

Step 6:
/sigh




Well that didn't work.

You know, I think that this is the shortest rules interpretation thread with either Bean or Tynskel in it that I've ever seen.

Amusingly enough, it's still getting responses.

Everyone should do it the way Bean n' I do it.
Sooo much simpler that way...

Step 1:

read the codex and specific rule

Step 2:

Read the FAQ and apply logic to both

Step 3:

Point out flaws in the other participants' line of thinking.

Step 4:

realize said participant is intentionally misunderstanding/misinterpreting your argument and/or rules, and is pulling stuff out of nowhere, leading to a stagnated argument. Leave thread.

You left out Step 5:
Wait til GW posts a FAQ completely vindicating your point, then return to the thread and loudly post about how you were right all along: [url]http://www.lounge.belloflostsouls.net/showthread.php?22876-Special-Power-quot-axes-quot/page20[/url]

Oh yeah, threadomancy powers activate!
