One guy copped a feel of one of the (female) customers... was immediately kicked out.

Dunno why people do stupid things like that. He's lucky he didn't get punched or something...

Too much Slannesh Fluff?

Way back in the day there was this fellow who was often inappropriate playing a game, his SOB's vs. another fellow's Orks. First turn of the game he manages to kill the Warboss with a lucky shot. He then proceeds to hump the table and exclaim loudly, "OH YEAH, CAN YOU FEEL THAT?! DO YOU LIKE THAT?! I JUST F***** YOU WARBOSS RIGHT IN THE A**!!!!", for about two minutes straight.

not quite a gamer story but still pretty bad...
The nearest LGS to me is in a weird kind of courtyard set back from the road, one entrance from the high street and then theres a couple shops and a cafe with the LGS in the furthest corner from the entrance.
Ive only been there a few times because the last time i went there (with a friend-Gordon-from school when i went to visit him on a Saturday). We got there quite late and took our time browsing and seeing if we could talk the Manager into letting us have a quick game, it wasnt happening but we tried anyway. We werent the only ones in there (thank God) but everyone else starts to leave in ones and twos so we decide to do that same.
Just as we got to the entrance to the main road a few guys (Big guys) block the way and another starts shouting at us to give him all our stuff. Needless to say we were like...erm wtf...they started verbally nerd-bashing us (yes im a nerd), coming out with such classic gems as "hurrrr you guys play that dorky toy soldier game dont you?! COD is sooo much better!!" By his point we were very scared, and it got worse when one of the guys walks straight up and punches my friend in the nose, and smashed his head against a wall (i think i might have nearly wet myself at this point)...
Thankfully at this point the Store Manager comes rushing out, along with everyone else who was still in the LGS. The nerd-bashers back off a little and realise theres not much point in trying to beat up kids for the plastic toys in their bags.
Now for the humurous twist, it turns out all of the guys there (about 3 or 4 i cant remember) were locals, not a surprise. However what they failed to remember (being locals of course) is that the Police HQ for the COUNTY is 3minutes slow walk away from the LGS....just as they back away, about 20 policemen run up behind them and they are all arrested...WIN!!

(apologies for the long story and any typos, o and my friend is absolutely fine, turned out he bleeds like a stuck pig but its impossible to permanently hurt him....he has since been known as Super-Gordon)

EDIT:btw it was the LGS Manager who had called the police and got everyone else in the store to come out and help, he got a big thanks from me, a Christmas card that i made especially for him.....and a crate of beer from my dad

I was playing 40k some years back with my Templars at a friends house and we were introducing his cousin to the hobby. His cousin brought over some douche of a kid who seemed to have a witty remark towards every comment made by myself, my gf and anyone else who spoke about the game. After about half an hour I pulled him aside and asked him to stop belittling the game and people who play it by calling them " Fags who play with little army dolls ) *HappydudeLTD would like to express at this time that neither HappydudeLTD nor Happydude himself share the opinions of said neckbeard towards sexual orientation and would like to mention that regardless of sexuality HappydudeLTD and Happydude only judge people for their die roll manner, not bed roll manner*. He then told me to "GFY" and that because his friend was the homeowners cousin he could do what he wished and then tossed my dreadnaught off of the table while laughing. I don't ever remember backhanding a man in the mouth as hard ever since... Needless to say he was embarrassed and after picking up my dreadnaught and placing it back onto the table he then left. This is not what irked me, but the fact that when he left he popped my front bike tire as well as my gf's at the time when he left. I guess he wanted other objects aside from his lip to spring a leak that day. Some people have no manners I tell you.

Question: What army do you play?

If you play any horde army, just face smash him with your case, as it should be preposterously massive. Fail that, I would say getting the po-po was a good idea. And by the way, thank you for making my night.

i didnt have my army with me, it was at my friends house, and i was bricking it so there was no chance of me really even moving, but its a thought if it ever happens again (BA btw, and this was back in 3rd so no calls of bandwagoning!lol )

and you are more than welcome Chowder

Damn! If you played Sisters, that case would have been a lethal weapon if you hade it.

What the F*** do you say to something like that? I would have been stunned, then removed my models off of the table and consoled them under a few cold showers to wash away their inevitable tears... Crotch-on-mini's crime is just not cool man...

Haha!! well i did have an old OOP Pred, a couple Rhinos, a LRC and a furioso in the bag (plus assorted SM's) and its still a pain to carry around now, cant even imagine the damage it would do! then again,at that point i had a Nokia 5210, which is widely considered (by me) to be a lethal weapon in its own right!

Hello,
It seems as if many like to think of our game as rather strange, we thankfully have never had a problem with anyone tring to physically start something with our players. That said this saturday we had some individuals attempt to belittle our customers verbally, funny thing was they did not come into the shop to do so (last time one of them had saggy pants on and they dropped about his knees while he was talking the trash in the shop, sadly I was not there). They then stated that they were going to "f" up our shop, smiling I reminded them that I knew there mother, and telling us they were going to do this would make them first suspects in any problems we may have. They chose to leave the area after that. Funny thing is most of our gamers are around 6 foot and 180, or they are just what we call the "big guys" (my brother being one at 6'0 300). So physical violence would be just stupid, however it is well known where I live that my other hobby involves swords and plate armor.

Regards,
Carl

This sort of fits in here i guess.

I had just got back into the hobby and was playing a few test matches and losing them, not upset or annoyed i head over to the 40k section right next to the door to see what other Tau items i could get when a short guy wearing what looks to be a lumberjack hat walks in, ok me being 6ft 5 youd think this is what was awkward, it wasnt. So me being my usual friendly self i say hey and he nods back. After browsing i go back and speak to one of the employees at the till to see what he would reccomend when the same short guy come up says he loves my hair, it wasnt because he said it but it was how he said it, somewhat awkward but i say thanks and continue talking to the employee. Now heres the worst part, i go back over to the painting and finish up a few models and pack up. Just as im about to leave another gamer strikes up a convo with me so i stand there talking to him, when the short guy comes over gets on his knees and starts bowing at my feet. Me and the other gamer are looking at this guy with the biggest "WTF?!?! this is really awkward" faces i have ever felt myself make.

The sad thing is he didnt just come in on that one day, he bought the AOBR set and is there quite often and 9 times outta 10 askes me for advice on playin an ork army when i played Tau and Chaos Marines. He does somewhat freak me out tbh.

One of the tournaments in our area actually has a rule, if you dont show up clean, wear deodorant, shower, etc. The judge can give you a red card (which essentially acts like a bad game vote).

Hell 2 the yeah!

Well I did have my entire painted Eldar figure collection kicked across the room by my angry brother over a rules interpretation arguement. He made up for it in his own way I guess by giving me a couple of wave serpents out of the blue a couple months later the next time I saw him. Pretty inappropriate, but it worked out in the end I guess.

hehe I think its interesting that people actually show up to give people playing crap...

They could try it at our store, but most of us are in the 6 foot, 200 ish pound range and quite a few are ex military....

Nobody tries to troll our lgs. The loud pounding of metal music scares the chavs away...

Guy walks in, starts a game with someone, half way through, he says he's gonna take a piss. Half an hour later I saw the other player wandering about scratching his head where his opponent went. Apparently the guy just went to snackbar without saying a word, showed up 2 hours later, and got angry about the other player having packed up and started a new game with someone else.

This moron is now our club's THAT guy. Talks complete jibberish most of the time, leaves half way through games more often then not, gets pissed when he loses. Gloats for a month when he finally wins something. etc. etc.

He pretty much solely killed 40k at our club. Now everyone playes warmahordes, and he doesnt XD
