Being a lash Player at tournaments. It is my right to move the other guys dudes. When he says"don't move my guys", I move them any way. it really throws them off their game. nerd rage kills their game playing ability.

Actually, no, you don't. You can ask your opponent to move them where you like. Touch their models and they are within their rights to smash your hand into a pulp. If you puled that on me I'd call a judge over ASAP, then smash your kneecaps in after the game.

All in good fun of course.

Are they upset that they're getting lashed, or are they upset that you're touching their models?

It's your right to dictate how to place the models, but you have no right to go touching other people's minis. ESPECIALLY if they say not to.

I am assuming he is referring to people getting annoyed about touching their models, since being upset over being lashed is pretty silly, especially at a tournament.

Regarding Bloody Khorn armies, ive known 1 person who painted a few models with some of his blood, but he actually was not that much into the game.
At a gaming store i used to go to i heard that another guy did this as well, but he was banned for general douchbaggery.

Ive never seen any fisticuffs over a tabletop, board, or card game though... and ive been involved with this hobby alone for more than a decade.

I can definately see some people doing stuff they regret afterwards.

Oh I remember now, back when I was just a young lad in the early days of 3rd, I was watching a couple of guys play a game of 2nd edition and one guy brought his super broken Wolf Guard Cyclone Launcher List.

Fisticuffs ensued.

For those young Whipper-snappers who cont know why, its the equivalent of someone bringing 3 Lash Princes and it being totally Legal </Hyperbole>

I've had blood drop onto some berserkers after a hobby knife incident. Didn't really stay though.

Not a fight, but at a Yugioh tournament I was in, there was a kid a table over playing one of the then Top 3 players in Texas. He apparently got beat pretty badly and got up to walk away, walking out the front door of the convention center. Someone then noticed the large puddle in his chair. He literally got the piss beat out of him

Wow, over Yu-Gi-Oh?

Firstly, WTF is a grown man doing playing Yu-Gi-Oh? He should grow up and play Magic ffs.

Secondly, WHAT THE FETH IS A GROWN MAN DOING PLAYING YU-Gi-OH

I think the key word is KID.

On the other hand, when I was in Grad school, I knew of a 33 year old guy who played Yu-Gi-Oh all the time and had a huge selection. He also watched the cartoon on the TV and played the game on the PS2. Of course he also had a Big Plush Simba from the Lion King. When my room mate got sick, this guy gave him his...Simba to... borrow till he felt better.

You just can't make this stuff up.

did he mention it was a grown man, or a kid?

*EDIT* beaten to the punch!

Here's the thing, if you are asked not to touch someting and you do, and you end up with broken fingers, don't look stupid at the guy that just did it.. He did warn you.

I can only assume it was a grown man as 12 year olds rarely fit the profile "Top 3 Players In Texas", especially in the relm of creepy-nerds-who-play-CHILDRENS-CARD-GAMES! (A Cookie if you get the reference )

"Oh Black Luster Soldier, noone must know of our forbidden love"

I played Yu-Gi-OH! for a good while. I Top 8ed twice and I'm 23. It really doesn't bug me, and in some ways is a superior game to Magic. The differences are minor and technical.

Pokeman, the lowest of the low! They used to bug us to give them money in the old FLGS, so annoying.

I almost got into a fight with a guy playing 40K, I am ashamed to admit. He was being so unbelievably obstinate over every little minor thing, which caused me to start acting like an ass too and things just escalated. Fingers were in faces, voices were raised, blood pressure sky rocketed. Once the verbal insults started flying I thought it was going to go down for sure.

Then, thankfully, I took a deep breath, realized I was being as much of an A-hole as the other guy was and sucked it up, apologized for my wrongs and we decided to just end the game instead of continuing something neither of us was enjoying.

Other than that though, my games are usually all laughs or jokes, or just quiet intensity broken by bouts of expletives when I throw a crappy handfuls of dice on the table!

Being nice goes a long way to making a game more enjoyable. Nitpicking stuff just makes it less fun. Save that stuff for a tournament, in a pick up game just give your opponent the benefit of the doubt and enjoy the game.

Yes apart from the fact Magic is far more mature and is a much better system and doesn't have the need to add 65 zeros onto the end of everything to make it seem cool.

Not to mention its the Original and best TCG ;P

Original isn't always better. For instance, Slutman was the original GWAR singer and sucked. Brockie is far superior.

LIES! VIVA LA SLUTMAN!

But seriously, MTG is by far one of, if not THE, best TGC system around. The only one (imo) that comes even close is the VS. System, but I haven't played much of it so I cant really say. </Epic MTG nerdgasm>

A Nerf gun fight broke out in my FLGS last weekend. Till they shot over some models that I just finished painting. All in all it was pretty funny.

Before I adress that statement, I actually get to hangout with the GWAR guys fairly often. One of my bandmates is best friends with Brockie, Derks, and Smoot. He lived with Dave and Derks for a little bit very recently till he had to move back because his dad died. Good guys. Really smart, nice, and polite and great musicians.

ANYWAY, Yes its a GREAT CCG and a GREAT system but some people may prefer others. I enjoy Yugi-oh as it is a different card game style. Personal preference.

I'll move my models, not my opponent.

Lash is NOT a license for people to paw their opponent's minis.

Chav is a deliciously British term meaning pretty much anyone nowadays who is under the age of 23.

I kid I kid, it only applies to inner city scum

The closest Yanky term I can translate it into would be "Trailer trash" or "white trash"

Oh, thanks for the British to English translation.

Shush you. We speak English, you speak Bastard Child Colonial. But we already have a thread somewhere for English to American Translations somewhere, so I shan't clutter this one any more.

I would love to have somebody try to hurt me. there is a certain respect for mini's that a very pretty but we are playing a game and I am moving your guys. it would really suck for the table to get tipped on accident.

No, you are telling me where to move my guys. I think everyone here will agree that if you touch our models without our permission, you get a crowbar to the knees.

And tip the table all you want, all it will mean is the judge bans you and you get a chop across the windpipe "accidentally"

Um no, you're not.

Unless you're family or one of two guys I've known for years, you do not touch my minis without permission. EVER.

The rules in the chaos codex do not overturn the property rights of the model's owner.

You have no more right to start messing with people models than anyone else. Your lash prince doesn't enter into it, hate to tell ya.
