Right, now that I have your attention with that goofy title, I have two things of importance. First and foremost, we all know that Metallica are going to release a new album, Death Magnetic, and I believe we all want the new album to break the trends from the "twin loadipaskas" and the worst crap that metallica has ever put out; St. Anger. *Shudders*
Fear not, for the time of coming is soon, and I assure you that Death Magnetic is going to be pretty darn awesome. As a preview, Metallica has released "The day that never comes", which is definately funky, and "Cyanide". http://www.myspace.com/metallica
In other news, I know as a fact that this blog has many readers from around the world, people who read the blog on some basis, be it regularily or not, but also for some reason don't comment. I would very much like to see everyone who reads, also commenting. Everyone is welcome. Please keep your comments unoffensive, (whatever the hell that means in the confines of the rules of The Reilukerho), and on topic as much as possible, that means no spam...
Everyone! Post your name, occupation, reason for reading, affiliations, evil-world takeover plans; introduce yourselves in detail of in short. Show me your monkey!!!

Codex Reilukerho Review
Fellow ministers! I have taken it upon myself to make several edits to thee Codex reilukerho, which I would obviously like yee to review. The edited version of thee Codex can be found in your e-mail inboxes, with the new sections of the Codex in red.
As per proper procedure, we must all gather in Pyry's attic. I will be happy to participate via webcam, and will find myself a funny hat as required. My proposed time for the meeting is 18:00 Finnish Time on Friday the tomorrowth.
Also, I would like for us to take into consideration the status of "Pena" within Reilukerho?

Ropecon 2008
So we went to Ropecon last weekend.. Well, me and Tony atleast (what would you expect for Olli anyway). I must admit it sucked.. NOT! Both me and Tony enjoyed it a lot.
On friday I played Epic Armageddon intro game. I played it once and now I love it. I also played a few magic games and just randomly hanged out with friends.
On saturday I had work at 15-20 so I didn't have much time at Ropecon. In the morning I played a couple of fantastic Magic games and left my painting competition entry. I went to work and when I got back at 20.30 I ended up playing Dark Heresy roleplaying game for 5 or so hours.
On sunday played more Magic and got my minis back. I didn't won anything even though I had a sculpted Ad Mech mini. I also went to kaubamaja and bought tons of ravnica bouncelands and a bunch of other good commons for 10 snt apiece. (Haha, Olli still doesn't have Dimir Aqueduct) Oh, almost forgot. We played lasertag. Its like megazone but outdoors.
Thoughts
That was mainly what I did in three days of Ropecon and i must admit my 20€ spent on three-day-ticket was well spent. First of all I got into two new games. I enjoyed Epic so much I plan to build Epic Space Marine army (yeah I know, Space Marines). Another game me and Tony got into was Dark Heresy, 40k role-playing game. We plan to download the book, make our characters and play once and then on fridays.
More About Epic
Now that I've tried Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Warhammer 40000, Bloodbowl, Warmachine and Epic Armageddon i must say 40k is the worst game of them all. Compared to epic it not as strategic as epic. The objectives really make Epic interesting since the game ends immediately at the end of turn 3 or 4 when a player has two or more winning conditions (there are a total of 4 or 6 of winning conditions) and game can last even further than turn 4! Another thing 40k sucks and Epic doesn't is that in 40k players must roll tons of dice rolls during a game. I really hate to attack with 10 Ork boyz in 40k because rolling 40 dice is so silly. And what about a mob of 30 boyz then! In epic every stand of 5 models rolls only one attack. It sounds stupid but its cool. Another reason why I liked the game was that the turn isn't regular GW stylish move, shoot, strike. In epic players activate their detachments one at a time like Pyry, Olli, Pyry, Olli, Pyry. Players may use some sort of special rule to do Pyry, Olli, Pyry, Pyry, Olli.
Earlier in this post I said I will make a Space marine army. You all know I hate Marines so you must believe I've eaten too much mushrooms or I'm drunk. The reason I want to play Marines is simple.
1. Marines are cool in Epic. They really do like they are meant to do. They are a STRIKEFORCE! Its not just I got WS4, BS4, S4, T4 and 3+ save but in Epic all the tactical squads must be in rhinoes and the whole Epic Space Marine army is built around rhinoes. So they are like 1337 version of speeds freeks.
2. Marines are easy to do. I buy one plastic box of them that comes with 32 stands, scratch-build a rhino, make mould and cast some more rhinoes and I have a 2000+ pts army of Marines (Epic Tournaments have 3000 pts). The most beatiful thing about a rhino is that Vindicator, Whirlwind, Razorback and Predator all use the same chassis. So when I have one master model I can make them all!
Now that I am in love with two games: Warmachine and Epic I don't think I need to play that stupid old 40k anymore except for mega battles since 40k is so epic. Hey wait a minute! Epic? Yes! EPIC! Epic is epic too! And even more! VICTORYYYYYYY!!!
I was plannnig to write about Ropecon but I ended up writing about Epic. This is me... Fiilispohjalta FTW!!!!11

The Minister of Figuilu Uses His Veto
(It is true that I said all hail the Minister of Kruisailu but I really have to eat my words now...)
I, Pyry, the Minister of Figuilu use the power of veto power as described in the holy Codex The Reilu Kerho against Olli, the Minister of Musailu's arrogant attempt to become the Minister of Transportation.
Olli's TRK profile states as followed: "Starting from July, he will also be the official TRK Minister of Transport, as in, the only one with a driver's license."
There are two reasons for my veto.
1) All the other Ministers are Minister of some-stupid-finnish-word-ilu
2) The Codex The Reilu Kerho states as followed:
"§6 There are a given amount of Ministers in TRK.
§6.1 Each founding member is a Minister for life and may not give up, forget, eat, or transfer his powers to other members.
§6.2 Other members may become Ministers.
§6.2.1 A member may apply for Ministership on the third Wednesday of any month.
He must make a formal announcement on the TRK blog on such a date stating his intentions.
§6.2.2 Then each Minister makes a challenge in his area of Ministership. The applicant must complete all challenges to be eligible for Ministership.
§6.2.3 After this, a majority of the founding members must gather in Pyry's attic to consider the matter. They then decide democratically on whether the person should become a minister. All must wear funny hats. Remember that the German hat is still reserved for Olli."
Olli didn't make an announcement on the blog on the third wednesday of a month. And he didn't complete any challenges. And I didn't get a chance to wear my sombrero!
Even though Olli is already a Minister I think §6.2.1 still applies.
I also think §6.1 doesn't apply to the Minister of Kruisailu (if Olli ever becomes one). It states that a Minister is a Minister for life but the Minister of Kruisailu should be the the Minister of Kruisailu only until someone else can drive too.
§6.4 Each Minister must specialise in something relevant to TRK.
I don't think driving is relevant to TRK.
Unless Olli really wants to become the Minister of Transportation, I suggest him to become the Champion of Transport or Kruisailu or something else (no need to be the Champion of some-stupid-finnish-word-ilu this time).
I don't have anything against Olli's attempt to become the Minister of Kruisailu but I think he needs to do what it takes to become one. Just declaring to be one isn't enough. What do the Minister of Juustoilu and Minister of Datailu have to say about this?

Can you really destroy a Toyota?
THAT, is a good question. Though I wouldn't personally try it with the family car, Jeremy from top gear couldn't do it... As such, this has nothing to do with anything, but it does prove that the japanese MUST own a darksteel forge, rendering all toyota pickups virtually indestructable.

P.S. Congrats to Olli on the driving liscence.

Modelling Inspiration For Olli (and Tony too perhaps)
As some of you guys know I bought General's Compendium. Its a huge silly book full of pictures of silly miniatures and silly house rules etc etc. Its totally useless. But its still the best book evah! It has a lot of campaign stuff. Even more great stuff and the best of all - it has rules for Warhammer naval battles!
Well I think I have to get to the whole point of this post. I promise Olli to send him a link to Man O' War (GW's old naval battle game) Yahoo group and I don't know which of his e-mails he uses. So here's a link.
http://games.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/theseaofclaws/
It has some great pics of Bretonnian ships. Check em out. If you are too lazy to join the group I can send the pics.
