Those folks who have gamed in my company for extended periods - which is most of the people I game with, and, I suspect, the vast majority of readers of this silly blog - know that I am extremely fickle in regards to all things gaming.
Fickle, perhaps, isn't even a strong enough word. Perhaps there ought to be a new word created explicitly for use in describing the rapid - nay, almost wildly swinging - wax and wane of my interest in an army, or a game, or even the whole hobby of gaming itself.
Let's call it Swingulairity.
Let's post a few examples of Swingulairity so that the people at home understand this phenomenon.
APRIL 2007 - Disorderlies run a small yet well-enjoyed DDM League. For (five?) weeks we come, play with our mostly-sealed DDM warbands and enjoy the system and the challenges. Rob prepares for a DDM Qualifier Tourney on May 19th.
MAY 2007 - Swingulairity strikes and Rob questions his attendance at the DDM Qualifier Tourney. Instead he's smitten with 40k...which he hasn't played in the past two months or so.
WINTER 2006 - Discussions of how we are going to dominate at Hordes at Gen Con abound. Rob is torn between taking Circle of Oroboros and Legion of Everblight as his weapon of choice.
MAY 2007 - Swingulairity strikes and Rob's interest in Hordes is at its lowest ebb. Why is he even going to Gen Con, anyway?
I'm sure that this post, if read by any Disorderlies of note (and I can think of four offhand who are waiting to rip me to shreds) will generate all sorts of useful commentary, including:
[name redacted] Rob, you're a freaking moron.
and!
[name withheld] We really should just kill you and take your stuff.
With "friends" like these, I really think I should have better life insurance.

Hell I don't care if you are interested or not, But for Christsake if you don't want to take Everblight to GenCon tell me and I can focus on my own painting needs
Let's just hope his answer isn't a repeat of the Origins SST debacle...
