Ok, Well This is gettin on my nerves and i felt this is something that really needs to be brought up. I just wanted to know? What is the the big deal with calling most Skryre, the slang word "Cheesey army list," Cheesey. I mean, why? Was this the way they where supposed to be used, a Shooting Army. Because not most of there fighters are strong.

I am just saying, how is this Cheap. How does do you expect to win, if you don't try. How do you expect to survive against other power gamers. That are looking for the biggest, badest Challange.

Now, I am not saying the Clan Skryre is the greatest because in many respects it has alot of weakness. I am just saying why, Why all do you s talk of this "cheese"??

Ok, just to clarify a few things, Skryre does not equate cheese. I know we've been going on about cheese and stuf hereabouts, though that wasn't a reference to skryre. It's about the balance of certain items that when used in overdose counts as cheese. an army of PWGs for instance is not cheese, an army with a disproportionate amount of ratlings does. What makes something cheesy is if it relies on dice rolls and capitalizing on powerful weapons to win the game, not strategy or actual gaming. It creates a boring game that doesn't necessarily mean the cheesy player will win, but that the outcome of the game will depend on the luck of the dice and nothing else. The cheesy player will be doing nothing but rolling dice, and the opponent will have nothing to do besides sit there and get shot at. *shrugs* that's what makes cheese.

Well, It wouldn't be my fault. Call me Boring but I don't mind slaying with it seems just as fun as any other time i have played. My opponents I have played haven't been whinning about it. I have been just seeing the word "cheese" alot around praticularly this website. At this Blood Keep you hardly here anyone say it. Infact Today was the fist time in almost a year I have noticed it on the site. And when I got here it's like a daily rutine.

I am getting really really sick of you bringing this up over and over. Yes, some of us consider your list to have too much shooting in it. We have explained over and over why we think that a 100% SAD army is cheese (check out the links above to see; please note that we did NOT say Skryre, we said SAD: there is a difference).

It's a matter of personal opinion. You have yours and we have ours. You like playing with it and we don't. You're not going to change our opinion and we're not going to change yours. We've established that. Get over it and move on.

Sorry if I sound a bit harsh but this is getting rediculous.

Nearly every single post you have made here (I checked) has to do with Skryre and "Cheesiness" and how we're being unfair about it. You're coming awfully close to trolling, so please just move on.

I don't want to beat this poor dead horse any more. This thread is closed. Have a nice day.
...And all this time I thought there was only one way to "retire" from the Council! What you call "retire", I call a "stay of execution"..whats in a word? DM Mik!
