Pah. Good job, Karon. I 'spose looking at that dude would make you cry anyway - that or the smell.

Also, making a 12-13 year old cry and not even sticking up for himself? Fail.

I can't bring myself to write out the (fairly tragic) story again, so for those of you who remember:
Howling.
Griffons.
Fething.
Librarian.

If you don't know-this is the reason why I will never set foot in a non-GW store again.

Inside jokes, always great to put up for everyone to wonder about.

No I'm being sarcastic. What's the story?

EDIT: Something went wrong with my refresh button and the first post I maed didn't show up. Hold on, I'll go and find the story.

I'm assuming his possibly very well painted Howling Griffons Librarian was stolen or ruined.

Besides, if you're painting a scheme like HG - do it right or don't do it at all. It'll come out either epic-win or epic-fail.

Pwease Faunt? Sit me down by the fire and tell me a fun story of the olden times. I'll just grab my milk, cookies, and blankie...

Wow. That sucks man. What a sore loser. Heck when I'm roflstomped I may be slightly angry but to actually destroy a piece and basically attack the winner? I would have claimed assault!

It's okay though: Later on I passed my force weapon psychic test, sooooo ...

And oddly enough, I never saw that kid again. And yes, I do still have that scar.

gak man, just read it as well. That basically wins this thread.... which really sucks for you.

Meh. If you ever see that kid please watch him have an "accident" for me. :Thumbsup:

Man, and I thought some of my "friends" were bad. O.O (as said in your thread, we really DO need a jaw-drop orkmoticon)

This thread reminds me; where the hell is that Librarian? I know my sig says I've still got him, but I can't for the life of me think where he is.

And anyway, now you know why I'm such an antisocial and annoying little prick. Chaos did it .

EDIT: Oh god, that Battenburg thing is going to haunt me in my nightmares. Marines made of cake...*shudders*...

You're not antisocial or annoying as far as I know. And that guy, if he is to be put under the term "chaos" then he's definitely a spastic nurgling on crack.

WOW...That guy was a sore loser,just like when i duked out some guy in a soccer game,the guy came up to me and then stepped on my foot as hard as he could,then after the game i found out he had broken 3 of my toes,and part of my foot.

I'd peg him as more of a Khorne guy personally.

Look, as comforting as you are Dark, that's not what this thread is about. I am past the "emo" Fauntleroy stage where all I did was whine. Now, I'm just cliched and bad Painter Fauntleroy.

So come freinds! Tell us your tales of woe (wow, that sounded a LOT worse in real life than it did in my head)!

Damn, Fauntleroy...that's quite a story.

Yeah fauntleroy,that did sound pretty weird when i just read it.

Yeah, it did

Eh, I was just kinda WTFing myself when I read that. But, as ya say, back on topic.

Wait, no this Hijack is a good thing! I finally get to use this image:



I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'll shut up now. Just go on without me, pretend I was never here .

Lol!

Roxerboxers wrote:I think my worst experience was this ten year old, Charlie, who was obsesed with his BA.
The first bad with Charlie was a game I had with him in the gaming area of my local GW. We had begun setting up and he finished before me, immediately he begun making rolls for all sort of Ba rules, like deep strikes and other stuff. And any time he killed one of my Sm, he did a victory dance. #face palm#

Two weeks later I popped in and begun painting my new models. Behind me Gw was doing some event to celebrate the release of something. A huge 40k game. Charlie was getting creamed. Every time a unit of his died, he whined and complained. At first I thought it was funny to see him lose. But ten minutes of this kid losing and him complaining was incredibly annoying. Finally the game ended and he begun painting. But it didn't end there. The next 2 hours was him whining and finding mistakes the other players made.

"Hey when you killed my assault squad you weren't in line of sight and the dice was cocked!"

I have a kid like this at my friendly local gaming Club. My Gods he is annoying. Doesn't know the rules and thinks killing half a unit of Empire Knights with A huge lance formation thing is a massive achievement. Said unit gets obliterated next turn by the Helbalster. Whines about how the warmachine is fair and how i shouldn't use it.
If he knew the rules it would be better that is the main gripe.

Just refuse to play him 'till he learns 'em. Or something.

Tbh, other than what little I've posted on this thread that's actually on-topic, the only complaints I can think of is the stupid prices and people who whine. Infact, last time I was at a GW it was a 4 player bash - dead fun - a kid on my team who looked a year or two older than me kept whining.

One point in the game, he shot 8 termies at abaddyboo + 5 man retinue.

He actually thought his termies would have a better chance of surviving if he DIDN'T charge them in (the two units were like 4" away.). Eventually we convinced him to. He did. Naturally, he didn't kill many of 'em and all but two of his termies were killed, and they ran from combat.

He also armed a chapter master with a lightning claw, power weapon and invisible hellfire round loaded boltgun - illegal and pointless

For some reason, the guy running the store pulled something up and said I couldn't assault with my chaplain and termies out of my LR into some nids. I shoulda asked him to proove it and show me the rule, but I didn't - assuming he knew it all. Ah well, after the game I realized there was no reason I couldn't have assaulted. But I'm not bothered, it was a fun game anyway and my termies still destroyed most of the stuff that charged 'em.

Best trip to GW I've ever had best GW I've ever had a trip to. Eh, so what some kid whines and the sole staff employee gets a rule wrong. It's all DFG

Well, that's my pointless two cents - back to the OT

I have four, all involving the same kid. BTW, me and my friends are 15.
1. Me and my friend were playing a game. This is when we were relatively new and someone had made him that old space marine assault cannon deathstar marine list. He was using marines and I was using orks. I only played them with the last codex, the new one is boring imo. Anyway, My decked out pimped out nob ride advances and does nothing. In fact my entire army shot at him an did nothing. My sluggas get one hit, one wound and he loses a marines. He then proceeds to accuse me of cheating destroys half of his models, calls his mom and tells her I was cheating and leaves the store. I know his mom and she knew I wasn't cheating (especially after I walked up there to their house and apologized and offered to buy the kid replacement models, even though i didn't break them) and said it was OK. I accept it and move on.

2. Not more then two months later I decide to play the kid again. So we begin to play and its orks v marines again. I lose one ork to a scout biker salvo. He then says all dice are rigged and he'd rather spend his days doing other things then playing a stupid soldier game a in a dark dank room full of smokers and packs up, leaves and accuses me of cheating. Funny thing is, its got strobe lights, the door is propped open and smoking is not permitted in the store.

3.. This time I didn't play him, my other buddy did who now moved to Texas (even though I still keep in contact with him). I'll miss you David. . Anyway, Anger kid moves his TH/SS Terminators next to a building with one infantry squad in it. Passes turn because they were out of assault range. Infantry squad shoots the Terminators and kills two with lasguns! Well, needless to say, the kid picks up his terminators and stomps them into the ground and then annihilates the kids guardsmen. THEN, he picks up his Vindicator and throws it at the kids head and charges him. The kid upper cuts him and he left. I was there waiting while the kids mom came, dragged him out and said he deserved it.

4. Finally, this goes back to 4th edition. Same people as above were playing. Friend shoots a demolisher at anger kids land raider Crusader. It had Calgar and an inordinate amount of Honor Guard in there. Demolisher annihilates it and everyone inside died.......
He pulls out dual hobby knives and attempts to slit the kids throat as well as mine. (And at a time like this, I almost said you have 1 base plus one for two weapons and one for the charge. I also was going to ask if he had frag grenades because we were behind a table, but I figured it would be bad spirited.)
He misses (thank God) and we tackle him and remove the knives, which ended up sticking in our arms when we deflected them from our throats. He did this in front of the whole store. Stitches later, we realized the kid was permanently banned. I was never aware of the exact charges but oddly enough he was not to be seen for a while.

Guy, you could have threw such a terribly awesome lawsuit for assault on that kid and his family for assault. If it was true, some of that seems a bit far-fetched to me.

Say goodbye to any worries about money when you sue someone for assault, haha.

Man, when reading ImRightBehindYou's post, I really got a sense of de ja vu. I'm pretty sure it was that business with the Howling Griffons Libby - yeah, it was. :/ All this stuff about psycho MEQ players is starting to worry me...

Seeing how defensive of MEQ players you are, would you really slice a fellow MEQ player? I'm only worried about the psycho ones... which means I may have to worry for myself...


Edit: Psycho MEQ players... you play MEQ... you're threatening to slice me... connection?
