The RIGHT way to play by intent 

My intent is to see this channel succeed!

This is a great video. I think sometimes it’s hard to know how much information to divulge without giving away your strategy but this explains it in an easy to understand manner

I think an often overlooked aspect of games like 40k is communicating the type of game experience you want to have. Game balance between factions (let alone the balance of individual unit entries) has been historiclaly a huge issue with 40k but far too many players dont think about or are adverse to discussing the sort of battle and what kind if list(s) they are wanting to play to figure out of the match is going to be remotely fair. somebody wanting to being a fluffy list or using a weak faction shouldnt be the punching bag for a meta net list. Its frankly a waste of time for the fluffy player as few people want to just get seal clubbed and its also a waste of for the player with the powerful list unless they just want to stroke their own ego by doing the seal clubbing. Same goes for when experienced players go against newer players. Back in 7th, it was the wild west in terms of game balance with insane disparities between the top tier factions/units and the weak factions. With a bit of communication and the desire for both parties to have a good experience, you could reasionably come up with a matchup that gave each party a sporting chance of victory. If some balance couldnt be achived then each person can just agree to not play each other and find somebody else that will give your army a fun battle. 7th was by far the most fun edition I have played when the players worked together to ensure a good battle while being an often futile experience when both players just slap down armies on the table blind and expect an enjoyable battle to occur.

I initially misunderstood the premise of this video. Intent was always attached to RAW vs RAI. I am not certain how else to could describe it though. Perhaps just referring to it as sportsmanship?

It’s continually surprising to me how many people treat 40K competitive play as an ‘information arms race’, yes the intent is to win, but fairly and cleanly, because you accurately predicted what would happen in the game, and not as is sometimes is the case because you withheld information.
