Seth. Hey Seth. Seth. Seth, hey Seth. Seth. Write something. Hey Seth, hey, write something. Write something, Seth. Write it. Write something. Seth. Thanks. (write something).
Or at least that's what I got out of it. Unfortunately, I didn't really know what to write about. The tournament scene for miniature wargaming is winding down in this area, and most of you tune in for those pictures. I'd covered most of the cons that went on, and the few that I had been to did not have large scale competitions. None of you had any good ideas, so I was sitting around until my friend Dan tossed this little gem into my lap:
"Hey, did you hear about the Feast of Blades tournament in Denver?"
Google Search. Read read read. ooooooOOOOOOOoooooohhhh.
Apparently the champion of the tournament was accused of cheating, and immediately disqualified himself. The allegation came from another person, who had found one of his dice under the table and saw that the die was not fair. The champion made a public statement where he apologizes for the mistake. He chose to disqualify himself and bow out of the tournament, declining his prize, trophy, and recognition. Words like "honorable" and "do the right thing" and "honest mistake" were used to describe the situation. Huh. Ok, we'll come back to that later.
