Does anyone here who goes to a club have that person who annoys everyone.Contantly.Without stop, i need some tips on how you got rid of yours

ICBM assisted M1 Tanks?

You don't get rid of them. You just suffer them, some other people might like them and why should they lose an opponent because someone else doesn't like them.

There is a person in a gaming society who I really like as a friends, great guy and all but when he plays a game he is so loud it is unreal, you can hear him from 3 floors away if something happens. (I am not exaggerating.)

I used to play in a group that had a guy that was just so damn annoying. I think the reason they dealt with him, was because he had an entire SW CHAPTER (yes chapter not company) and was a pretty good player with them. But OH MY GOD I would want to flip the table over on him at times. You know the type that would roll wounds, his eyes would flutter, and then do the dramatic knuckle crap with the "weeeeeeeelp lets see thaaaaaaats a whole dead squad" * cue annoying chuckle while adjusting glasses* Every damn time. GOD! Now I have to bleach my eyes again for seeing him do that 100 times a game

Yep you gotta suffer it, it sucks I had an Rc pilot down my aircraft "by accident" and this guy could easily gotten his aircraft out of the way but he ploughed through mine. And it crashed all he got was a broken prop and he wanted me to pay for it? he hit my plane but what can you do? I took it up with the club president and still had issues with the guy after the club president said I didnt have to pay for the prop. My plane took way more damage then a 50 dollar propeller and a still flyable plane in his hands I had a trash bag full of balsa wood.

Yeah our club has someone who always shouts, laughs in your face if he wins combat, proclaims that his mephiston is unbeatable AND has a paddy. yep a paddy. if you beat him,
violence is not an option but at the moment it is a VERY, VERY good option.

You suck it up and hope they leave (they usually do as the only reason they hang around is because their friends played. Their friends stop and leave in drabs, and then they go ... finally.).

Got one just like it in my club atm.

19 years old. 1st year uni.
1st year Army reservist.
Non-stop smack-talker (irony is his PTI is another member of our club).
Whines when he loses, whines louder when he wins.

Even his mother wonders how she put up with him (he has since moved out of home into student housing).

Uh,oh if someones mother doesn't even know how to shut their son up it's a problem

You mean tfg?

Oh you know tfg, because yeah thats who im talking about

It's easy, really. Tell this person you're moving the get-together to a different time and place, but don't actually move the get-together. I've done this everal times to get rid of various undesirables, and it's worked every time.

Sounds like a good idea but it's not actually my club so i can't really do it

Erm... Paddy?

You know what little kids do when they don't get what they want, he does that...

'having a paddy' = tantrum.

Not sure if it's derived from a racist slur on the Irish.

Well, that would be me, but I'm annoying in that I play 40K on my opponent's side most of the time.

I don't give them personal space .

According to the Oxford Concise Dictionary the term is derived from the reference to an Irishman.
Learn something new etc.

Ah well, plenty more fish in the thesaurus.

Hissy fit seems to be popular currently.

We've one of those. My FLGS plays both 40K and MTG, one of the magic players is hated by -everybody-. Literally everybody. We're all juuust polite enough to tolerate him, and he's too damn dumb to know he isn't wanted.

He brags, he gives unwanted bad advice, he hits on the lesbian...never shuts up, tells obviously bs crazy ass stories...A guy there who plays MTG practically professionally lent him a deck in the hopes that TFG would be such a jerk after killing with it that the owner of the shop would kick him out. It's actually so bad that guys have forfeited whole rounds out of tournaments to avoid having to play another game with him.

That reminds me of a TFG when I played my first MTG tournament.

First game I had a nice deck, wasn't going to get me a medal but it would do okay.

Rolled off to see who got first, I got a 9, he got a 6. He went first. I was like I clearly got the 9 the _ was under it and everything, to which he stood up complained and tired to get me for cheating.

I would of been hung tar'd and feathered if It wasn't for the fact I'm best friends with the owners GF and some my anime society where there to back me up.

Now, that is weird, surely a nine is higher than a six

That is pretty slowed. So far one of the main things about our TFG that irritates me is that I'm relatively new, I know the basics but when it got more complex while I was learning I needed to know things. He would tell me things that were untrue, that'd later go and bite me in the ass. "I X." "Huh?....You can't X with that." "But....Y told me I could X whenever I wanted with Z?" "Ah, yeah...I don't think you've yet realized that Y is a donkeycave filled with macaques." "Oooh okay. Yeah I'm seeing this now."

Odd random thought. Is it morally wrong to eat monkeys? I'ma say no because....there's no wrong way to eat a rhesus!

Depends, is it still living? because I would have a problem with that.

And I hate people that do that. It could be a mistake mind you but people that lie to you on purpose annoy me.

I hate compulsive liars

Yeah, anyone who lies to a new player in order to win a game of toy soldiers seriously needs to sit down and re-evaluate their life. Jus' sayin', is all.

I'm having a hard time telling if it was a true lie or not. Was less a black and white lie as much as broad over generalization that proves fatal in a game that runs on hard rules.

Case in point for the magic players, I was told that planeswalkers count as another player. They....kinda do, but they don't really count as another player. I forget the exact circumstances in other games where I found this out, but basically it left me tapping land trying to use spells that have some effect on a player that just...don't work on planeswalkers.

Another thing I didn't care for with this fellow was playing a WAAC deck against someone just learning the game. Now, I wouldn't hold it against someone if it just happened a handful of times, and if I say...wasn't using a deck that he'd built for me because I had no clue what I was doing but looking back, I swear this kid was just trying to set up someone to beat and make him feel good. He wasn't quite as keen to play me once I'd built my own deck, which is quite a bastard.

Aww all my friends build decks that are meant to win as greatly as they can and if it annoys you then even better lol.

Have a friend who plays a madness deck, at least twice a turn you get the choice of taking 5 damage or letting them summon some huge ass monster lol.

I'm not suggesting that he shouldn't play to win, as much as it might be just a little unethical to spend your time specifically trying to curbstomp the new guy.

That... was really funny!

I don't even remember what this thread is about, I'm so gobsmacked by that bit of brilliance.

Ehehehee, danke!

Very funny indeed
