Not OT at all, actually, as we need those adaptations to help fight off the
zombies, aliens, predators, Kra'Vak, minions of C'thulhu, and sheep.

There is no coincidence that the above reads like a shopping list for
GZG-ECC X.

There is also no coincidence that the above sounds like a mix-and-match
list for the scenarios involved. ("Kra'Vak zombies," "minions of Sheep
C'thulhu.)

Pure coincidence. Nothing at all to do with the ECC-X Cheese Game.
Really.

Now that you've brought it up, I must say that I wouldn't mind if the more
intelligent, creative players designed Con Queso squads of zombie Kra'Vak
eskimos, or alien minions of Baa'thulhu, or Predator news crew, or Oriental
schoolgirl and interdimensional "special friend".

However, I know I can't count on that. If you're a boring,
not-too-bright player, you should of course feel free to bring the usual
bland powered armor troops and wannabe "elite" mercenaries and such.

My hope is that you become a victim to the curse of 'be careful what you

wish for.'

Now if only I could do something about those cheese-swiping ninjas...

<grin> That's my hope also. The more over-the-top, the better.

Seriously--I don't want the players to bring X rated minis, or news crew
(unless really creative), or sheep (ditto), but aside from that, pretty much
anything goes. I'm not just talking about "bring unusual minis" although
that's good; I'd also like to see imaginative use of the rules. For instance,
last year my squad was a squid: Darth Squidious. I paid points for four squad
members, i.e. tentacles. Since he was going to be underwater most of the time,
I needed to have a way to see what was happening on land. So I told the GM
that I wanted to buy Drones, which we agreed could be sheep; Squidious could
use the Force to see through their eyes.

G'day,

Now hold on, you have to admit my naked Nun (while she survived) was a useful
decoy...;)

a) In any game involving sheep, I don't have to admit to anything. b) Who did
she decoy? The Close Combat Specialist and the Mother Superior
both fell to the Stormsheep's (involuntary) Death From A-Baaa-ve attack.
c) if you can make it to ECC X and are crazed enough to sign up for a game I'm
running, I'll grant you dispensation to bring the Nun "out of
habit".....

G'day,

> b) Who did she decoy?

It was the attention of the opposing (especially younger) male gamers that she
dragged off course. Remember the determination with which she
was targeted leaving many juicer/threatening targets untouched? ;)

> c) if you can make it to ECC X and are crazed enough to sign

While I doubt I'll get there I will keep this in mind;)
