Thank you Ratsnake!

Yep, I told Ratsnake thanks. Want to know why?
Because his post on his website just drove more people away from his game quicker then I ever could. I love the preachiness and the sanctimonious coming out of his little mind these days. I would think the man has sun stroke, but that would require him to actually work for a living and well, I can tell you, he doesn't.
But he keeps mentioning the GSRP, the GSRP, the fucking GSRP. I am going to write a damn history of that document soon, since he was up to his fucking neck in it as well with MXS. But Kerry one thing that you are wrong at, the rules may have started out getting more and more, but that was because like you are now, they penalized out of the box thinking.
But here is the ruling from the 'newest' GSRP:
CHARACTER/ROLE CARD: Your Character Card is your ticket to get into your base and defines which team you're on. Keep this on you at all times. Your commander's base security will ask to see it every time you insert onto the playing field (if they know what's good for them!) This colored card has the identity and character details you will be playing at the event. Get into your character, whether it be "Exalted Supreme Commander" or "Tailor" - this is the best way to get the most fun out of the event. Also on the Character/Role Card, you will find a space to enter your Player ID Number from your ID badge (see above.) Write your Player ID Number onto your Character/Role Card prior to game-on Saturday. This will speed your team's taping up and get you in on the first battle!
Funny since for well since the start of the document, this has been how it has always been. Losing your player card, put your security at risk. Want to know, if the guy who has the card is on your side. Simple. Barrel Tag him and walk him to your insertion, watch if he re-inserts, make sure the base ref checks on him and issues that if he is on the other side and doing this it is against the rules and then don't worry about it.
It ain't like you used a gift jersey to sneak someone into the base to eliminate the other commander and then stand behind your sanctimonious tower and talk about honor, right Ratsnake?
Since you have "stolen" a lot more of the GSRP these days as you ratchet down innovation in an attempt to get the big game players to come to your events while selling them as scenario, just realize you are losing your base, the people who play your games all the time. What a fucking dumbass!
But here, just add this to the rules as it was in the GSRP and your problems will be solved.
THE FINAL WORD
If it’s unclear;
If it’s not covered in orientation;
If it’s in a "grey" area;
If it’s not written in the GSRP, game-specific addendums, or on a game-specific card:
It Does Not Exist.
Ask the Event Director First!
;) How do you guys like those apples? Probably as much as I did when that ruling came into the GSRP.
Everyone wanted my opinion? It's simple, I don't place his fucking games anymore, you couldn't pay me to play them, so he can make all the fucking stupid rules he likes.
That's what sell-outs do........... they sell out!
