Gamey?

[Dog Soldier]

Baelfiin:

There are numerous threads here on this MB of what players think is gamey play. Search the archives also since this topic has not come up for some time. Those threads should give some guidance of what club members think. In terms of tournaments, the tournament director has the final say in all issues involving tournament play, final. Tide1 is the director of the tournament you mentioned. Direct your comments to him. Many of these matters are better handled directly with the tournament director via email than airing them in the MB.

At the blitz, our philosophy is that players should agree on things like optional rules and gamey tactics prior to beginning a game. If something arises during the game, discuss the issue with your opponent.

Most people will be glad to discuss these things before and during a game when creating new relationships for gaming. Many players here have long term relationships with other players they have played against. These relationships are based on mutually agreed standards of play.

The mission of the club is to provide a forum for players to find others who share their views. The club view point is spelled out in the Rules of Engagement section.
A list of "HTH approved list of gamey tactics" is not required, nor necessary, IMHO. Play is by choice. There is some trial and error component in finding players that share your views of how games should be played. Realize this and experiment with different players. Search the boards for posts made by a player before accepting or initiating a game. you will find that you disagree or agree with a player's postings as a good indicator for compatible gaming.
