Being a new player who's only ever played against my fiancee (another new player) these stories are making me really nervous about going to my FLGS to get a game against someone I don't know!

If someone even looked like they were going to touch my models after having a fit about whatever, they'd be the ones getting snapped in half.

Dont worry, most gamers are actually quite well mannered. And as another poster said, we all meet some of these folks from time to time.

Agreed, also Paint_To, please bear in mind that this is the internet and some people may be lying...

I think this thread has run its course. If mods can close it for good please

It is a great thing we have Inspector nkelsch around to set things straight.

Yup, lots is BS.

The stuff about sex, coke and Juggalo parties was true though, right? Otherwise I'm never believing anything I read on the internet again.

That part is definitely true. I had sex last night, just opened a bottle of coke and Juggalo Homies is playing on Winamp at the moment... One question though... What's a party?

I have a friend who literally describes himself as a hobby vampire, these are his words, this is not paraphrased
"I get hobby pleasure from beating my opponent so badly they want to quit, I want to break there hobby" , I'm a casual gamer and play him every week near enough, I am convinced that I can. Get him to change his attitude, he is the only waac player I know lol

I'm not calling you a liar, but I don't believe this story.

Surely if a bloke tells you a story, and you tell him you don't believe it, you ARE calling him a liar? :-D

I mean, I don't either, so we are, no matter how much we wish to be polite about it, calling him a liar, it's unavoidable!
So why sit on the fence eh?

Bad moderation? Actually yeah.. Probably a good enough one. My lifetime ban was implemented after a bloke said that carrying a foetus to term can never kill a mother, and "are you ignorant or lying?" was enough to seal the deal.

Indisputable facts are not the order of the day around Catholics, but as this hard to believe yarn has no religious conatations we should be dandy.

I'm not saying you're a masculine man, but if they took blood samples from you, they'd fine DNA connections to both Zeus and Odin...
