Whats your story of someone whom youve played (or just watched) and has been a sore looser?

Recently, as part of a league game, my opponent was deciding between which of his two armies to bring to the table, and after giving up about turn 3 or 4 he was just a major sore looser and kept saying had he used his other army he would have won.

I just found it funny, since I told him I didnt mind which army he brought and it was his choice >.<
So now Im curious what other stories there are of sore loosers?

Its funny how easy it is to win in your imagination. It sucks when some people take the fun out of the game, though. I think its much better to be friendly, win or lose, and just have fun. I find those types of people are also bad when they are winning, though.

The worst saw loser I've ever seen was when I was working for GW. There was this 10 year old who would love to play in the participation games. But whenever one of his guys died he would whine about, and then if he lost/got wiped out etc. he would go sit in the corner crying. My manager wouldn't do anything about it, I wanted to stop him from coming, but apparently having crying small children must be a good advert for wargames . . . so he kepy coming. =D YAY!

I'd have offered to play a game with him with the other army.

I did, and we are playing another game this weeek!

whatever else happens, you make sure you kick his stinkin, whinin, cry baby teeth in in that game. Lord knows him winnin would just be feedin the troll.

The worst sore loser I ever saw was in the first year of 'Ard Boyz. My first opponent ahd brought a tyranid list and I was obliterating him with Eldar, he was making noises and cussing by the middle of the first turn, he grabbed my dice and said he would only play with those since they were obviously loaded, rolled even worse than he did with his own dice, and got even more upset.

Then he actually tried to grab the dice out of my hand and made like he was going to throw them. I was only about 6 days out of the Army and maybe still a little highly keyed so I stepped up to him and told him that wouldn't be a good idea. He then went tot he table and started picking up his models and slamming them in his bag, cussing at the TO, and accusing the entire eldar codex of being nothing but a huge cheat. Then we heard him screaming incoherently at the building fromthe parking lot.

He was probably about 40 years old. The worst loser I have ever seen. That was at the VFW hall in Greenwood, IN at the round hosted by the Game Preserve nearby.

I'm so scared of the above posters opponent... Why do people like that play this game?

My worst sore loser acted up around turn two...

Stuff like:

"Do your genestealers have extended carparce?" me being the dunce that I was, not knowing you couldn't take it, "yes" as he procedes to roll his 4+ save... *sigh*

Rolls bad for reserves, two out of four genestealer squads get rolled on, as he places down three squads, "What? Two came on..." of course I had no way to prove it...

I lost that match, though last time I fought him at a tournament, I caught most of his shenanigans, and beat him...

"Ok, my terminators get four attacks..."

After I charge his MoT terminators, who are not aspiring champions...

"My predator moved 12", so I get a cover save..."

Why do these people play warhammer 40k?

Maybe I'm just lucky, I've had people whine about a list I ran in a tournament, and I agreed with them that it was a beardy list...because it was..but it was also a tourney with a decent prize so while I agreed I sure did not feel bad.

But that's about the extent of it. No screaming no crying somehow I think those guys get weeded out really quickly.

Had a lady get so upset that her orks were dying by the droves, that she started picking up the dead models and slamming them into her box. Arms and weapons were breaking off of her very well painted army.

After turn 3 I picked my models off the table and left. when she asked where i was going, I told her I was not about to play someone who was 10 yrs older than me and acted like a 2 yr old. I was in my mid 20's at the time.

I have had an opponent complain and whine that my ships in BFG were too overpowered and broken because I managed to do one damage on his ship, and I could churn out many fighters and bombers.

Even though he was playing Necrons and everyone who knows BFG should know that Necrons played properly can be a very broken race But complaining that I have more fighters and bombers than him even though I continued to do 1 damage seems like a sore looser but mid game !

He also seems to get very angry at when his ships get battered and begins to dangerously mess with your models to explain things that could happen, teasing models with the tape measure end then flipping the tape measure back with a model yours most of the time, hooked on the end.

Wolf your avatars is great.. haha.

If they become sour and hateful in a game.. I just take their skull. [stop playing them]

Rowan Atkinson? Really?

Played a guy back in 3rd in the old city fight. I was using Death Guard and he was using City Fight IG(old list in WD, viscious). By turn 3 the entire shooting of his army resulted in 1 immobilized rhino. It was checkmate. In a rage he crushed a squad of cadians(metal) in his hands and then stomped on them. He then proceeded to smash a basilisk into the bathroom door.

Wow, guys, wow! Those are very scary experiences!

I guess I've been a loser before when I lost with my necrons:

My ork buddy phased me out and asked me if I could've done better with my eldar and i was like "oh totally" the whole way.Tomorrow I will have to prove it

Wish me luck

firstly, I've never had a really sore loser like anyone here, but i feel for you all. I have people in my group that kinda kill the fun in the game when they start losing (ie: a little whining, some complaining about bum luck) and honestly that bugs me, i have have no idea how anyone here didn't slug the losers they've met.


Secondly,

So glad I havn't played against anyone like you guys have described. I play to try my hardest but win/lose its more about having fun.

Ironic how such a silly little girl entered into a tourney called 'ArdBoyz.

damn mates, every time I saw the words "picked up" I was worried they were going to break something of yours

but I'm the kind of person who talks in a loud voice about all the things that wend wrong DURING the game (such as rolling a 1 to wound a Necron Lord standing out in the open with no Invulnerable save witha Strength 10 Railgun RAAAARGH!). after the game I usually just gloat about what I've accomplished (such as the Railgun causing a Vehicle Explodes result in one shot against the Monolith). unfortunately the Tau don't get much in the way of a glorious victory

Oh dear ! I may have to call it that now... "hey can you pass me the rape measure please."

Is it strange of me if i dont like my opponent running off to do something else while im on my movement , dice rolling phase?

He says oh he trusts me so i can do w/e i want and tell him when im done , but it feels like im playing with myself like that -_-

I've had that on some occasions, I just sit and wait till he gets back. Nothing wrong in not liking it 'cause I don't like it to especially when I'm about to role dice.

I have a seconf little story for you. When I was at the Warhammer club at school there was this one guy (about 15/16) who was a really bad loser. But I will just share one story with you . . . I call this, "The tragic loss of The Greater Daemon"

So said Guy is playing the game just fine, his Chaos versus some Tau. He's whining a bit when his models die, but this is just normal for him . . . and tbh you should expect stuff to be shot to death by Tau. But then all Hell breaks loose. All the railguns in the army turn to the Chaos Leader. One hefty chunk of metal also known as a Greater Daemon of Nurgle. One turn of shooting later (yes just one turn =O that's some rolling right there) and the Daemon falls, riddled with Railgun holes. But as if that's not enough the Chaos player proceeds to shout profanity, pick up said model, and throw it into a wall. Thus proceeding in about a tonne of metal flying into a school wall, the wall been damaged, bits of model flying everywhere, blood coming from his hand (from slamming his hand onto the model to pick it up) and everyone in the room think "OMG! Where is the quickest way out of this room?"

And so today we have learnt the easiest way to kill a Greater Daemon of Nurgle . . . throw it against a wall. =p

Oshova

Had one kid in my club who used to throw things (mostly his)* when he was losing (he was 16) and try to cheat to improve his chances of winning.


*On one occasion, he picked up one of my models and was about to fling it to the floor.

I told him to go ahead. He would be out the door and not welcome back to the club while I was in it. He thought better of it and put it back on the table, breaking off a weapon from it instead. That got him a 3 month holiday from the club.
When his older brother told their parents why he wasn't welcome back - they grounded him for 6.

Now, several years later and he just whines and bitches when he's losing. Baby steps.

I remember one time a little over a decade ago, there was this regular who played space marines (blood angels, i think) and pretty much lost every game he ever played. He was young (fourteen) and had absolutely no grasp of tactics and strategy but he always had fun and never complained. eventually, he played against this other fellow (who was almost twice his age) and he finally won against this other creep's nazi painted imperial guard army.
Well, after the nazi creep lost, he flipped out, threatened the kid, threw the kid's rhino against the wall (smashing it and getting himself banned from the store for good) and proceded to go outside, scream racial slurs at the now terrified fourteen year old, and generally cause a ruckus before the cops showed up.
Later in the week he went to the kid's house, destroyed his bicycle and tried to beat up the poor kid until the cops came, again, and arrested him.
I have yet to see a bigger sore loser than that.

i wouldn't say that's a sore loser. whiney, sure... but not a sore loser. as long as the anger/angst is directed to where it should be (the dice, the player's own choices), i have no problem with it. if a player starts resenting me for knowing/following the rules and making good choices in target priority and such, then i'd call them a sore loser.

I used to think I knew some sore losers, but after reading these stories, I have nothing worth mentioning.

Hmm Nazi Guard . . . I wonder if anyone would complain at my club if I used Soviet Guard . . . but then they probably expect it, as I play Reb Blok in AT-43, play with Soviet dice, wear Soviet T-Shirts . . . And yet I know full well Communism doesn't work =p

And seriously, that guy was a freak and should never be allowed to be within 100m of a child ever again. =/

Sore losers....*phew*

How about beating someone in a tournament, and they register an account on Dakka and elsewhere to scream that you're a cheater, and a whiner, and only won because you screamed to get your way and threw hissyfits and use loaded dice.....*e-drama at its finest*

This just remindes me of this Pic

I HATE when a game of 40k turns into a baw session. I will admit I have gotten annoyed over certain games, but have never caused a scene. The chief offenders are my brother and some of my idiot friends, I hate when people get all bent out of shape because of a game, it ruins the enjoyability for both players. I believe all losses should be learning experiences. As you all probably know first hand baw sessions aren't fun at all.

I'm usually not a sore loser (mostly because i win like, 80% of the games I play :-P) but when the die start saying "No" i can be a bit of a whiner. I always feel like a jackass when i end up winning too XD.

One time i think i was justified though. I played a guy (he was guard (Soviet guard too, btw Oshova, you're not the only one)) and i was gonna 1st turn assault him with Shrike + friends (infiltrate).

3 games in a row. he stole the initiative.

i'll say that again for ephasis:

3 GAMES IN A ROW.

he wasn't using loaded dice, he's not the type to cheat in any way. he just keps getting lucky.

And every time that resulted in shrike and firneds eating a battle cannon or two. My mini death star was crunched on the first turn for 3 games. One of these games had my Assault-termy laden LR immobilized after moving one inch too, which left my main death star vulnerable to demolisher cannons.

after the third game i was a little upset (nothing as bad as whats been posted here) and vowed to NEVER EVER go first again. (unless i steal the initiative).

That's developed into my current strategy of reserving most of my army :-P

I'm really new to the game, so I haven't played too much. But my friend is probably the OPPOSITE of a sore loser. It's like he enjoys losing more than winning, and he acts it up really big. His acting reminds me a lot of...

After readomg everyone elses story, I can help but agree with you now. Although personally, I can understand dice rolling and similar uncontrollable factors, but you can at least finish out the game regardless of how the game is looking.

I used to get real sad and whiney when I started to lose games, after playing against enough people who where the same way I realized the err of my ways.

Now, regardless of how the game is going I do my best to keep a positive mood, and always emphasize how awesome their <insert weapon/spell/ability/unit> is doing

for example, in one game my 6 units of genestealers couldn't seem to roll higher than a 2 on any of their difficult terrain or run rolls, and my buddies terminators ran 6" and got 6" terrain rolls every time, so by the end of the game we had a psuedo-meme goin on about how anything that can move more than 2" is "Faster than a F--king genestealer" the whole store got in on it, and soon enough grots and chimeras were moving "faster then F--king genestealers" on the other side of the room. I got completely mauled in the game because of those dice rolls, but I turned it into a fun joke that everyone enjoyed.

Its the same story when Im beating someone into the ground, I try to find something in their army that I can emphasize as being awesome, like a unit that shoots exceptionally well, or something to that effect.

Ouchies!

Sheesh these are some real horror stories. Ive only had very little experience with friggin sissy babies. The first group I was part of (I was like 16/17) there was this one guy that did just that stuff. He would cheat like holy hell, and then cry bitch and moan when he lost. He would set up the table totally in his favor (he played IG) and would hide basilisks behind buildings, and direct fire them at units and the like. Make up rules like "oh uh...well these guys here have *insert random made up thing* and so they get to uh....re roll their saves!
He reminds me of a rat......with a human body. Guy was a total asshat. Infact one game where he pulled all the stops out, I ALMOST beat his ass. If the game had gone another turn I would have won the game, and thats AFTER he did all the previous and then some.

BUT Im picky about my group now, so anyone pulls that gak and Ill lay into um. Im here to have fun and enjoy making bullet sounds and laughing at making my 6+ saves, not to have people throw things and complain because the dice arnt with them today. It happens to everyone, grow the feth up

2 stories.

First is one shamefully about myself back in 2000 when I was only 18, I was a bit if a different person then. I once spent ages building and painting an eldar army, just to be completly tabled by my best friends's space wolves, it was a massacare, every dice roll went against me. I sulked a bit, and I still feel bad about it today. Damn old rules space wolves with like 4 power fists per squad.


My other story is at Perth Conflict 2005(or was it 2006?) (which I won).
I was fielding a Chaos Undivided Army, in 4th ed codex just after it came out, painted to be Alpha Legion.
The army's tactic was it had a squad of chosen in a rhino with a daemon banner. for newer polayers this let me choose when to summon 1 squad of daemons it was attached too into play at the start of any turn I want. The daemons would not scatter, and could assault. the daemons I had in reserve were daemonetts (who were badass).

Anyway, 2nd game, I did a denied flank with my predator anhillator sitting on the far flank, and all my other minis on the opposite flanks. The rhink charges foward, disgourges the chosen. I clearly point to the model and say it has a daemon banner, would you like me to explain how it works?
'no, Im not an idiot.'
'Ok, sure.'

Anyway, next turn I summon the 15 odd daemonetts right into the middle of his all foot marine army and charge, killing 10 marines before they can fight back and then consolidating into his next tactical squad. Meanwhile My predator has been shot by 3 lascannons and a plasma cannon every turn, but he has failed to roll about a 2 for armor pen, and in return the predator as vaped both this dudes dreadnaughts.
Now first he tries and cheats, by saying that he can use a consolidation move to consildate out of combat with my damonetts, which i point out he cant, and he gets upset.
So I crush him utterly, and go on to my next game.
Now he shows up to my next opponent and starts going like,
'This guys army has a secret trick, you absolutely have to destroy the rhino! Shoot it with everything first turn, don't let it get near you!'
What a dick, he basically tried to reveal my secret strategy to my enemy. this army relies heavily on people underestimating the chosen squad in the rhino, once people know the tactic it is very easy to shut down by killing the rhino then the chosen, meaning the daemonetts cant be summoned.
Anyway, the guy doesnt follow this dudes advice and I crush him hardcore. He takes it well, great guy.
Last game this dude shows up AGAIN and starts the same speach to my next opponent

'this guys secret plan is..'
and to the last dudes credit he is like
'Look, I dont want to know. Go away and dont ruin this game for me. half the fun is reacting to my opponents plan on the fly or trying to figure it out myself.'

so the kid sulks off. Me and the last dude (a tau player back in the days when tau were the bees knees) have an awesome game, tho I massacare him off the table. the irony is he sees my plan and kills the rhino early, but my predator and oblits carry the day for me anyway.

So yeah, what a sore loser, following me around all day trying to make me lose all my following games!
But I still got best overall, so whatever

I feel bad for that poor kid.
I hope he didn't quit because of that anus.

I feel so lucky to not have anybody like this in my local GWS.

Holy crap I missed the nazi flip out post lol. Seriously if someone tried that crap on my son, Id beat the ever living tar out of the guy. He wouldnt even want to tempt fate walking on my property. God some of these people need a real life

Hmm nazi guys and 40k should not mix.

anyways, has anyone ever been in a game, and your opponent has trouble paying attention and is walking away/having side conversations constantly. I was playing somebody at my FLGs a few weeks ago, at first we were both really into the game but due to some very unlucky dice rolls on his part the game turned drastically in my favor, after that he began to basically ignore our game, turning to talk to other people while I was doing my dice rolls. One turn my predator lascannoned his dread, penned it and exploded it, only to find that my opponent has left the table to talk to someone else, I go and tell hm his dread just exploded and he was giving me looks like I was cheating. It was all good in the end because I tabled this kid, but his conduct was just so rude.

I've an important confession to make: I'm sometimes a sore loser.

Generally it happens only when I've been drinking heavily (something I've stopped since. Alcohol and 40k don't mix), or when I play a specific guy in our local group. Our standing arrangement is that we play friendly lists unless otherwise specified. The other day I played a DH game against some 1k sons, so we don't usually do hard lists unless we're prepping for something new. This guy, to give you an example of his standard operating procedure, is the kind of guy who, when I told him I wanted to playtest some changes I was making for my DH army, brought Leafblower against me, and then got pissy when I asked him why he would do that. In retaliation, I made him play out the entire game, down to killing my last guy. He's a good guy, and we've been friends for a long time, but for some reason, he just has a knack for bringing out the worst in me over a game. The other thing that sets me off is bad dice rolling. I'm the guy who managed to not cause a single wound with shotgun/meltavets on firewarriors outside of cover.

Either way I don't usually get angry and start breaking things (except the drunk time, and that was always my own), though I have thrown a die or two, but that's been the running group gag since we started playing D&D years ago. We had a guy who did the "smash the die with a hammer" thing. It just helps mitigate the frustration. Ultimately, the way I look at it is whatever I do to my own property is my own problem afterward, but you don't touch other people's stuff. The stories of people who smash other people's mini's is just mind blowing to me. Honestly, I couldn't even begin to fathom how to respond to that. No internet tough-guy here. I can safely say I'd be paralyzed with misanthropy.

Wow... the way you describe it sounds just like me and someone else , in reverse role.

I cant speak for your friend , but i do exact samething you mentioned.

Basically i dont really like playing against TFG or Ppl that acts negatively in a game.
So sometimes i would bring an army specially made to obliterate the TFG's (for example i would ignore the mission and
go directly wipe out every single miniature he has )

So... maybe he is giving you some hint :x to not be so mean lol

@Luna:

Yeah, maybe so. The other guys we play with complain about similar things from him though, so I assumed it wasn't just me. Admittedly, I am kind of a jerk, but for what it's worth, I typically do far better in sportsmanship than he does at tournaments. I think he might just not be able to get his head out of tournament mode, and I just need to stop bringing a knife to the gun fight and demanding he does the same.

I had the same thing when I wanted to test my new Terminator Force and Deep Striking back in 3rd. He uplled somthiong with his Eldar Force and Clearded the Board before the Top of Turn 2. After the Game he eaid, "I never Practice, you shoulod just get better."
I alsmost Lost It, If we had not been at the LFGS I might have.

The sick thing about it was that he doesn't play IG. I do normally. His normal armies are Eldar and Tau. He just made the list to wash over me with every AP2 weapon he could find.

I played a massive four-player game that was set up to follow a script. It was three eldar armies, Uthwe, Biel Tan, and Dark eldar verse imperial guard and chaos with tyranids joining in to make a real brawl out of the whole thing. The battle was set at 6500 points and took place in 3rd edition so it was way before Apocalypse came out.

Of the players I had the three eldar forces at least model wise. The other player fielded both the chaos and imperial guard as both armies were his. The two other players were going to show up two hours after we started playing. One was a tyranid player and the other was his younger brother who was new to the game, did not possess an army, and was interested in trying out eldar. Base on this I came up with the idea of creating 1200-point Biel tan force for the younger brother to play. And the older could play tyranids that would enter the game via the old CA tyranid deepstrike force, he would be a free agent attacking whomever he wanted. We reasoned that the biel-tan force and the tyranids would enter the game on the third turn reasoning that’s the point the game would have reached when the two brothers arrived. The chaos player had a baneblade, it used pre-apocalypse rules that I think were even tougher than their modern set.

Well the chaos player was just horrible. Because of his excruciating slow deployment and turn taking we were still on turn 1 when the two brothers arrived. Bare in mind that I was playing 5300 points verse 6500 as the biel-tan forces that would be controlled by the younger brother would be the other 1200 points missing from my force. I suggested that the brothers enter then game on the 2nd turn so they do not have to wait through a whole another turn. The chaos player angrier shouted this idea down, as he felt strongly against me receiving the biel tan forces that would put us one a equal footing in terms of points. I had the foresight to create a mini-game with the last chancers hunting the red terror for the brothers to play –reasoning that they might have to wait a little for us if their arrived mid-turn. So we catered to the chaos player and the brothers played my mini-game three or four times and watched us play waiting for the third turn.

During the game I flew an empty raider in front of two basilisks and blocked their line of sight for direct targeting. The raider was soon destroyed and I placed a destroyed marker on top of it. The chaos player then goes about taking his turn, but starts to direct fire his basilisks. I stop him and inform him that my burning wreckage of my raider would block line of sight. He than argues that because the vehicle is destroyed he can see through it. He is very insistent on this concept. Unable to find in the rulebook were it says that you couldn’t shoot through destroyed vehicles – I had to dash up to my WD collection to pick up one with a battle report in which one player used his destroyed vehicles to block line of sight. Only then did the chaos player concede his argument. He indirect fired his tanks, and I kept silent on how in 3rd you were not allowed to fire indirectly after other units fired regularly.

I managed to assault his baneblade, which was a monster throughout the game, with my scorpions, the exarch was armed with a powerfist and at the time he hit with a strength of 9. When rolling for hits I mentioned that I auto-hit because the tank didn’t move during the chaos player’s last turn. At this the chaos player insisted that the tank did in fact move and swore on the lives of his parents. Now I was pretty sure that the tank didn’t move, but I was not sure enough to swear on my parents lives sure, so I counted the tank as moving when rolling for hits. My scorps bombed the assault and the tank slaughtered them next turn – the tank only had one structure point left at the time of the assault.

Well my backup arrives with the kid, who has the lion share of all my aspect warriors. He has shining spears, spiders, banshees, fire dragons and some other stuff. A falcon with a squad of fire dragons closes on the baneblade and finishes off the tank. The young player is thrilled at being the able to make such a large contribution to the game. So here comes the chaos player to rain on his parade. He goes on this whinny rant accusing me of rigging the game by making the biel-tan force with the sole purpose of destroying his super tank in mind. He starts on about how could he have possibly win the game if the there was a falcon with fire dragons arriving on the third turn. His tank definitely earned back its points in destruction of my forces and the tyranids, but he would not let go, he was apparently the victim of some form of villainous conspiracy to cheat him by killing his supposedly invincible baneblane.

Well the game ended with the tyranid player getting completely destroyed, he really had a misfortunate number of deep strike rolls combined with the chaos player placing his pie plates with perfect precision. The baneblade took out two squads of 16 genestealers in one shooting phase – a template over each on the turn they arrived and out of 32 hits not a single one to wound was rolled. When this happened the chaos players was practically dancing with joy and openly mocked the tyranid player while heaping praise on his tank. The eldar were victorious in the end. The chaos player whined throughout the game whenever something didn’t go his way and threaten to pack up and leave several times. It was only when we called him on it and told him to go if he wanted and we would just play a regular game between us, did he stop the threatening nonsense. Anyway it is always amazing how a whiny player can ensure no one else can derive any enjoyment from a game. For a while after that I avoid playing large games as this one left me with a bitter taste.

@Grunt13: Didn't you know that Baneblades are invincible? And they should be able to kill 6500 points by themself =p

But seriously, that's just ridiculous, but I kind of expect that. I know several people where if you kill certain models they lose all enthusiasm for the game. Generally go for the big or awesome looking things =p

I'm only a sore loser when I go against one of my friends. I'm not sure why either, whenever I play against him I feel like I am playing differently. Of course we are like best friends so maybe it's just my competitive side. But I've played other 40k games where I was getting my ass whupped and I didn't care.

Oh well.

Plus he always fething steals the initiative. It's really annoying.

My brother, hands down. He can't stand losing and always blames me for making up rules or misinterpreting them.

Iv'e always had good games, the only time when someone got annoyed with me was when my carnifex entered play behind his basilisk, and blew it up with a rear shot.

He threw said basilisk at me, i still have the scar where the spiky mudguards cut me.

-I played in a hardboys a few years back, and my opponent took for ever. We got through turn 2 just 5 inutes before time because he was so slow in deployment and play. I kinda went off on him. I mean, turn 2 in 2.5 hours?! Bad form on my part.

-I played some tourney years ago (during the bad old days of 3d6 sweeping advance for jump troops) where the board was cut into quarters, with a warp in the center. I had a huge death company, and somehow managed to sweep into my opponents (who were all crowded up close to the warp) and destroy large sections of their armies, each in their section of the turn (4 players per table). We all agreed that it was legal and followed the rules, but there were some butthurt bubbas by the end of it. It WAS pretty broken, in retrospect; I gutted 4 forces (they were like 500-750 points apiece each player? something like that?) in a single game turn.

I beat this guy's DH with my leafblower IG and he raged and he said "POMPOUS LITTLE CHEATER ILL KILL YOU" and I was like "Do it fgt."

Not really, I just love how these types of threads get more and more far fetched as they go along, and so I just wanted to do my part...

Worst sore loser.

I was playing a friend of mine. He had a tank that was just throwing plasma templates. On the second turn, I shot his front armor with a railhead. Three 6's., with the last one cocked. We did the balance thing, and it didn't fall. He complained for a while, but won anyway. Otherwise my gaming group is pretty good.

Mhm....

I can be a sore loser once in a while, especially if things are going to crap from turn 1. I played a game with my Space Wolves against Chaos Marines, and I got tabled by turn 4, since I couldn't make a single armor save to save my life. A squad of Khorne Berserkers would shoot my Terminators, and I'd fail 4 out of 6 saves. It was that bad. I ended up throwing my dice against the wall, and traded for a new set with somebody I know. That's as bad as I get, but I can see it still being pretty bad.

I know people who are far worse, however. I played a game against his Chaos Marines, and killed Kharn with a powerfist in my tac squad. He promptly grabbed his figure, threw it on the ground, then stomped it into the carpet. That was scary. Another friend of mine will throw his models into their box when they die, muttering angry things. He doesn't outright flip out, at least.

Ohoho I get it. Flattery gets you nowhere

Our group is pretty good, usually, about the sore loser thing. I'm prolly one of the worse generally and I think I'd have to be full on drunk to do any of the things mentioned above. Never thrown a model and the only curse I've uttered is "damnit Murphey" which is as much an inside joke among me and my most common opponent as we're both near full irish and roll miserably (the winner is the one the fails less, not the one that does better). We both had about had it after 30 lascannon, exorcist missiles and melta shots failed to kill a deff dread and he rolled three 1's on armor pen for his exorcist missiles. I think given our luck that game a bit of whining is excusable. I made sure to compliment the paint jobs on some of our opponents characters hoping to make up for it and discussed some fluff regarding Harker while the orks were shooting the million and one guns.

The worst thats has happened at our store was what was supposed to be a friendly game with four of the younger players (ie 15-20) including myself. My team was unfamiliar with Necron rules and the guy we were playing is renowned for cheating. Upon getting his stuff mown down he promptly made a rule up, which we thought was op so we asked to see it in the codex which caused him to have a hissyfit, yelling loud enough that the store manager had to come back and see what was going on (me and the new player had to explain as the other two were two seconds from each other's throats) and culminated with the necron player hitting my teammate over the head with his codex. It was shortly after this that the resident CSM player came in and I had him take my spot.

The second worse was during the last round Ard Boys for the top spot. The IG player rolled absolutely terrible, his entire gunline missed or failed to wound all but maybe 2 hits and he started to lose it. I don't think anyone has ever cursed that loud in the store and he threw his arms in the air saying "oh please just let it end" with dead models being roughly tossed into the bag. I don't blame him though, he's one of the coolest guys at the store but had a rough time throughout the day and it was getting to him. That was a fun battle though, it was the Keeper of the Rules/Fluff vs The Guy Who Blesses the Dice.

Wow did that ever make me lol. You sir, have earned both 1 internet AND a cookie.

edit: Okay to add something to the thread:

I strongly dislike it when people whine about good/bad luck during the game. One of my regular opponents attributes every single time I win to "lucky dice rolls". When he wins, its because of how super awesome he and his army are.

Whiners about dice seem very common. I don't want to hear how unlikely it was that my TL assault cannon razorbacks got a pen against AV 13-14. I don't care, I just think its cool that it happened and now your gak is all busted up.

I've had someone accidentally hit one of my plastic guardsmen off the table (when I still had guard) and then continue and say "Oops", pick it up, put it in his mouth, and then bite through it at the midsection (not where the glue is) and bit straight through the plastic.

I really need to find a FLGS instead of a GW store...

99% of the people I play are great. That being said, if you step up to bat 1000 times you are going to get hit by a pitch one of those times.

I had a great time at ard boys despite the first match. I played Orks: KFF mech, burnas, battle wagons, boys, and Ghaz. He played a tough looking Eldar list. Turn 2 my battle wagon and trucks are about 4 inches apart, one has my KFF mech in it. A big hail of shots there, I measure between the trucks to see if I get a cover save. The whining starts from here, "No way that is 6 inches, you measuring from lug nut to lug nut?" I showed him, 4.5 inches between, he exclaimed "whatever". It just gets worse, louder and whinier from here.

The burnas in a battle wagon move up and do their thing, I call the TO over as soon as he starts. Not going to argue, just get a ruling and be done with it. Deff rollas, wash rinse repeat. I even showed him the printed out FaQ from GW. (The TO's ruling was insufficient at first) I was polite to him, he just got worse when I did this. So the last 2 rounds were played in dead silence by me, and strings of whining and curses from him. After the game, no hand shake, he picks up his models says some stuff about orks being broken. More things about the rulings of open topped vehicles, bad TO's, tourneys being for rule nazi's etc. He dropped from the tourney after his first game.

Only guy I ever ran into who had a problem in 40k. Guess ard boyz is not for him. I do agree in larger tourney's the stakes get higher, playgroups come from further, and the experience level is larger. People come to win,they bring "beardy lists" and in general know their rules. I am new to WH40k tourney's but have done all sorts of tourneys the past 20 years, various sports and MTG mostly. Always going to be that one guy in the crowd sooner or later.

Congrats Karon! That same idiotic picture pointed up at someone!

@J-Roc77

Well, I would never quit a tournament because things went sour from the first round.

Though, I was pretty sad about deff rollas, first time I played against them.

"Want to DoG?"

"Sure, why not, what is one warlock?"

"Alright! 2d6 S10 hits!"

I destroyed two battlewagons on turn one, and a second on turn two.

The other two proceeded to destroy:

4 Serpents

6 Warwalkers

1 Vyper

5 Warlocks

Farseer

I still eeked out a minor win, so it was all fine and dandy!

I can complain abit, but it is usually when the luck is against me. It is one of the primary problems I have with wargaming in all facets: You can deploy perfectly. You can manuever exactly as you need to. You can do everything right.

And your dice defeat you far more efficiently than the enemy ever could.

There's a big difference between tossing your cheap dice away and throwing your HQ on the ground to emphatically stomp it to pieces.

I've been exceptionally lucky that I've never played against a sore loser, just good players and cheats (curse you carl! *shakes fist*) Even when myself or my opponent have lost incredibly badly we've always shook hands after the match and cussed our bad luck or the dice rolls.

Lol, that opponent just needs to be commited to an institution. This has got to be one of the weirdest stories I have ever heard. Did you get another guardsman or what? How did the staff react? Maybe we should start a new thread with the weirdest/most awkward moment ever in a game.

Most people I play are very cool. I think miniatures requires and builds character, a lot like golf. It is unfortunate that the few bad apples are the most memorable.

The one I remember is a Tau player I played against at a store which was not my usual FLGS. First, I was invited to set up terrain, and he would pick sides and such to balance it out, so as to save time. Without really thinking about it, I placed a fairly good sized woods base in the center of the table, which being a 4th edition game, the woods blocked line of sight as area terrain. After looking at it, I realized I could be placed at an advantage due to the wood in certain missions. I told him he could move around any terrain I set if he didn't like it, which he declined. I asked him if he was *sure* he didn't want to move that wood in the center of the table. He said no.

Predictably, on the first turn, I started advancing my melee heavy army forward in the cover of the trees. Nothing was said the first turn. During his first turn, his shooting was fairly abysmal on what he could see. Second turn I start getting complaints that I'm using "the Tyranid tape measure". This apparently is quickly holding the tape measure in front of a unit then "fudging" the models forward a couple extra millimeters. I denied this. Later, I was accused of measuring front to back. I also denied this. The other player then felt the need to show me how to measure in 40k, during which I resisted the urge to tell this individual that I've been playing this game for almost as long as he's been alive.

This goes on for another 30 minutes, until finally I place the tape measure on the table next to EVERY model I move and show him the move. I explain that yes, indeed, most Eldar units can charge off the fleet move. Another player told him that "he's not going to want to come here again" in reference to his arguing.

I was polite and non confrontational the entire time, and refrained from explaining to him that as a 30 year old man I'd be ashamed to go into a game store and cheat a 17 year old kid in a game of miniatures, so he really had nothing to worry about.

He was young (fourteen) and had absolutely no grasp of tactics and strategy but he always had fun and never complained. eventually, he played against this other fellow (who was almost twice his age) and he finally won against this other creep's nazi painted imperial guard army.
Well, after the nazi creep lost, he flipped out, threatened the kid, threw the kid's rhino against the wall (smashing it and getting himself banned from the store for good) and proceded to go outside, scream racial slurs at the now terrified fourteen year old, and generally cause a ruckus before the cops showed up.
Later in the week he went to the kid's house, destroyed his bicycle and tried to beat up the poor kid until the cops came, again, and arrested him.
I have yet to see a bigger sore loser than that.

That dude isn't a sore loser, he's mentally ill.

Thankfully haven't really had problems with sore losers in the general population, but when I was a kid, myself and my three closest friends were absolutely horrible losers with eachother. We never played the rules properly for one thing, partly because we started with Rogue Trader at around age 10-11 and the rules were just waaaay too long and boring for us to care about.

We'd all cheat rediculously on our army list; take forever to set up terrain, and argue at length that everyone was making the terrain benefit them unfairly; complain constantly that the other team (it was almost always 2v2) took far too long to do anything; squabble for hours about hard vs. soft cover; go nuts when any of our stuff even got shot at, never mind got killed, in which case we'd argue incessantly and usually just scrap the whole thing or end up coming to blows.

One of my buddies even threw up on my land raider once. Would have been annoyed had it not been the most hilarious thing i'd ever seen.

Anyway, as we got older our games became much more civilised.

I think my fav ive seen was a Tourney at tabletop games in KC.

I took my guard list and won all 3 games.

My first opponet was an IG player also.

Amusing part is he called my list inferior over and over and how taking battle tanks is a complete waste.

Then started going on he rolled bad.. Then started saying i won because apperantly IG is over powered and any list can win (yes.. he was playing IG also...)

And what gets even better.. I looked at their forums and he had a all infantry list, then went to a net Chimera spam list for the tourney (his chimeras werent even completly assembled, some missing tracks).

Best part is his club defended him like he was their savior on their forums.

Don't think ill ever buy from that store again.

Okay. I wasn't going to say anything... but this thread just keeps getting weirder & weirder.

One guy I beat looked like Abe Lincoln!
After I beat him, he dressed up like a Warhound Titan and burned Ben Franklin in effigy.
It got reallly awkward when he started screaming "Are the British coming NOW, Ben?" and I had to remind him that Ben Franklin didn't say that & that it was actually Teddy Roosevelt.

Even though it was a flat surface, ostensibly right next to, or even on the table, it was not 'on the table' and thus shouldn't have counted, since it wasn't favorable to him.

Karon wrote:I really need to find a FLGS instead of a GW store...

That's not going to help, since the issue is one common to humanity in general. I had a guy once completely lose his gak over a game of scrabble. We'd maintained a narrow difference in points through the whole game, and coming up to the end, he was ahead by ten points or so, and I was down to three letters. I stared at my YRT, looking desperately for something to pair that Y with, when I saw an 'O' hanging out all by its lonesome and spelled 'Troy' (as in ounces). also hitting a triple-word-score. That, combined with the bonus for using all my letters, meant I went from narrow defeat to smashing victory, and I can understand what a wrench that can be for the other guy, but from the growing volume of the arguments about why it shouldn't count, to knocking the board off the table with a final shout of, 'bs!' wow, what a temper tantrum.

Then you got guys who pick fights in sports bars because their team just lost, and their standing next to a guy who's enthusiastic that his team one. No matter how you divide them up, when you have any group of people, there are always going to be a few in there who suck.

Yes, the standard deviation on human pesonalities allows for Ned Flanders to rest on the upper control limit and Scrabble Loser guy on the lower control limit and not violate any Western Electric control chart rules.

lokilokust wins the thread. If only some video had been obtained, Nazi Warhammer Kid would have been an internet celebrity by now. Kind like the Winnebago guy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDQQfBrSUs0

We had a Khorne player (both Fantasy and 40K) at our local who would flip out, beginning with muttering curses and ending in red-faced, teeth-gritting sputtering rage every time he lost (which was most of the time). He usually managed to keep it self-directed, but you knew that bottle was under serious pressure.

That's not an unusual sort of fellow to find 1 or 2 of at an FLGS, but that fact that he played Khorne made it really, really funny to EVERYONE. This did not help dude's rage problem. "HAHAHA ENGRY KHORNE PLAYER HAHAHAH!" was probably not what he needed to hear on a weekly basis. It was a totally unfortunate self-perpetuating stereotype .

Sad as he was a decent guy until he got his paws on the 'Zerkers. Which of course makes it even funnier.

once I played a guy who
1. had a hissy fit that I was the only other free player and I only had 2 hours to play.

2.told me he was basically better at warhammer then I because he bought $200 of WH and on his next pay day was going to buy $300 more.

3.his unit of 12 assault marines. all armed with CCw and pistol, was actually a chaplain with a pair of lightning claws. another was a chapter master with a pair of lightning claws, and 1 was a vet with a pair of lighing claws. He didnt feel the need to tell me until they charged me.

4.His 2 vindicators were better then anything I had just because they were his. so I blew them up. and he almost started crying. I really mean it, had a hissy fit and almost cryed. I was 23 then
..he had to be alteast 27 ish

5.He could shoot me through a building and I had no cover save. My same unit shooting back through the same building gave him a cover save

6. At one point other people started coming around the board saying"he cant do that, he cant do that, Tactiacl squads dont have signums" I just told them its ok. Id rather loose and go home early then keep playing.

Orks are broken

I have been guilty of being a sore loser, specifically with my friend. But that's just because I tend to be more competitive with him playing. But that's normal. Anyways, the worst I've really ever done is just get annoyed when his massed number of Crisis battlesuits ( you, Farsight) charged in and completely gunned down my Chaos marines and I get mad for a turn. However, my sore loserness is pretty much done though. I might get annoyed at certain dice rolls and misinterpretations of the rules, but i could care less if I lose anymore. In fact, whenever I lose, I just start laughing at the whole thing.

Anyways, moving on to sore losers now:

At my previous FLGS, there was a little kid who played. About 10 or 12, idk. He acts like a complete know-it-all (even though he knows NOTHING about 40k, he just makes up and says it's true), incredibly cocky, and the whiniest loser I have ever seen. We play a game, my CSM vs. his ultrasmurfs (that btw, had a horrible paintjob). 1000pts, and I smash him. The whole time, he's trying to cheat, accusing me of being a liar when I pull out some CSM rule that his SM doesn't have, b****es every time I kill a simple tactical marine, and acts like a total baby. The whole time I'm trying to be polite and not walk to the other side of the table and beat the h*** out of him (I'm 17. We're supposed to be role models for the younger kids).

When the game is over, I go over to try and shake his hand and I say, "Good game **insert kid's name here**." He just gives me a death glare and goes off on one of his pathetic rants, swearing and everything. Finally, I just snap and tell him, "Listen here you little . I did NOT cheat at all, I played by the rules. You were the one who kept cheating, whining and all out b****ing the entire time. I was being polite and just trying to have fun. Just because you suck at warhammer doesn't give you the right to be a little about it. So shut up, quit your b****ing and cheating, and play the d*** game. Cuz I swear if you keep it up, I will kick your scrawny little a**." I'm pretty sure I scared and scarred him for life because nobody ever saw him come back to our FLGS.

And that is what we call a sore winner =p

But seriously, no need to swear so much at people. There's better ways to get people to play properly than shouting and swearing at them while threatening them. Atleast then you could get him to start playing properly instead of scaring him away never to return again.

Win.

And that is what we call a sore winner =p

well then, I once played this fellow, an annoying fellow. He always got me angry. In just played him to prove him I was better. So I play him. I win, He starts crying and yelling profanities. He cried "I will never come here and I will never touch a model again." And that was the last time we've seen him. and this bloke is like 2 years older than me!

Sounds like a blessing.

A guy playing dark eldar yelled at me and claimed it is literally impossible for him to win a killpoint game. It was then i realized my new list kicks ass.


I also like how A-hole gets replaced with donkey cave.

it was, it was.

I've never seen anything that serious, but it really annoys me when someone gives up the moment things get rough. I always try to play all the way through even if I'm getting hammered, A) since sometimes I pull it out, and B) because I don't play that many games and its really rude when someone walks away in turn 3, essentially meaning that I've wasted my precious gaming opportunity.

The only good loser is a constant loser.

agreed!

I've seen a few sore losers, and none quite like a few I've read about here...

I understand a small out burst here and there if someone is having a terrible day and it spills over into their game...but ruining models is silly. There's a reason anger management was created.

But there's a particular kind of sore loser at my gaming club. There are a few guys that bring the "end-all-kill-al *insert codex here*" list every week. They play the list until they've been beaten a few times (the first few times, of course it's only terrible luck or "I would've beat you with my OTHER army"). Then, after they've been beaten to many times, they sell off that army and get another one. On a note of intrest, they don't play the really good guys in our club, and have yet to field an army with more than 20% of paint on the army that they did themselves.

It frustates me because they start refusing to play people that consistantly beat them and get frustrated enough to get rid of their models for no other reason than because their list doesn't work.

I was on my way to being a sore loser this Saturday. I was playing Harleys (and doing pretty good) til I got paired with a guy with SOB (flamer heavy), InQ, and heavy weapon IG, along with some hard-hitting rhinos.

He tabled me in three turns, (and only lost one rhino and a squad of sisters) After about the third time being flamed for 16 hits on a harley squad I started getting pretty aggrevated and it looked someting like this:
"point at guy, roll for 2 saves, fail both, knock guy over, go to next guy" I was so ill I even tried to death or glory a rhino w/ a wraithlord (he died lol)
The guy kept watching me, and He KNEW I was getting pissed, so he started acting differently. Thats when I realized how much of a douche I was being and changed my attitude.
I'll get him next time tho.

Some kicks in the face are in order. 1. For having/referring to an army as "Harleys". 2. For the guy with the Sisters of Battle w/ IG H. Weapon Squads. And 3. For all the donkey cave sore losers out there.

hivefleetgoliath, you take this, and yourself WAAAAAY too seriously. that post was a lolfest.

My worst time of being a sore loser was complaing when I was prepping for the "2500pt" list for the PAX east convention while using my daemons (after prepping, it was dropped to 1250). I played against a CSM friend and was about to have a tie and he wasn't going to let me have my last turn because he had to meet his gf-he was going to skip out on my last turn giving a tie when I would win on my final turn. This wasn't my "sore loser" issue, just that I knew I would earn my victory if given my final turn. My sore loser moment came the next game against a 'cron player who, in dawn of war, only deployed his necron lord. Under a bit of misinformation from a friend who is a genius at 4th edition but has no clue at 5th, I thought I'd table him turn one if I killed his lord and he had no other models on the table (recently found that to be incorrect). I missed EVERY single shot from kairos, 2 daemon princes, and 6 flamers of tzeentch. not a scratch. his whole army came in and half vaporized me. I was ready to quit and complained how lucky his rolling had been for his lord (I also couldn't save anything if I tried, even with Kairos's re-rolls: Kairos also ran in the first turn) however, after being almost ready to throw the game I grumbled and said we could continue and my slaanesh daemon prince went berzerk at kairos's death, had a soul grinder "pleghm" a unit of immortals, charged the remaining (3 models) and a full unit of warriors, killed the immortals and 2 warriors, didn't take a wound, panicked the warriors off the table, made EVERY invulnerable save when his destroyers fired at him, flew into them, blew them to pieces, then my bloodthirster on the other side of the table tore his last unit of warriors to bits. I felt horrible that I had bitched earlier about the dice rolls and some bad luck on my part because everything turned around halfway through the game and he ended up phased out by turn 4
