Alrighty then.

Another one. A High Elf Player (I seem to have bad luck with these guys, now don't I?) challenged me to a friendly game against my Dark Elves. I deployed, set up, etc.

He completely decided to Bull-S*** me. His mage got 2 S4 attacks, his Bolt Thrower Volleys were at S5, I couldn't cast Non-Magic missiles in combat, he was allowed to re-roll hits and wounds with his spearmen, My spell which clearly said 3D6 hits was argued at D3, his 1up save made him "Invincible" to my spearmen, and etc.


Dear lord, I'm sure he meant good, but he felt very much like TFG.

P.S. Please Don't, and I mean Don't, pull this off topic. This thread I hope can be a legitimate area for people to post their Awkward Gaming Moments.

Well, my moment wasnt akward but funny.
My friend and I both played a game against each other (Orcs and Goblins vs Orcs and Goblins).
His Orc Boyz charged my 35 Night Goblins unit. I ended up needing s. While he was laughing a jeering that I would never get I decided to take my brake test. And guess what? Well I think you can figure that one out from the fact that he started to angrily swear.

Flagged for grovelling.

Hmm. I once played a Necron opponent - her gender and blondness will not go unmentioned - whose interpretation of the Necron ruleset was so distorted that I just killed her Destroyers with Wave Serpent turrets and ran away to win a killpoints game, afraid to encounter the confusion of 'which 10 of that 40 warrior blob is the one squad?', and to absolutely minimise WBB checks.

I was ripped apart by a kid about 10, mabye less.
Damn, my self-esteem in my experience went right out the window.

A little kid once started spectating a game between me and TFG and started making full sound effects during the shooting and assault phases. God, that got annoying, with all the 'pew pew pew' and 'vroom grrrrrr'.

I think that's the only time I've ever agreed with TFG.

lol, heh, heh, heh.

But honestly, if there was a valkryie on the field I wouldn't blame him. If I had one I would be making sound effects as well. (look sheepish)

I'm wearing white socks...

now if you are allso wereing brown sandles, we have one hell of an awkward moment on the horizon...

Ever had a die bounce off the table into the ghastly realms of plummer butt? Yeah. Akward doesn't even really cover it. Needless to say my brick of dice is now happily one short.

My Brick of Dice is always one short, because whenever i get a new set, I set one alight in front of the others, so they know the price of failure.

Safe to say My Dice roll rather well

LOL that is hilarious.

That's just poor conditioning, if they haven't done anything how will they know what they're being punished for? Unless your dice can communicate with each other, which is plain silly.

Oh and awkward moment. We had this TFG that would always want to play "demo" games with new people, then he'd rig either the scenario, terrain and/or lists in his favor. Well one day he got thwomped in one of his "demo" games, he then started slamming the table and throwing a hissyfit. After he left, he never set foot in the store again, the reason he'd give people who didn't witness his meltdown was because we're a bunch of donkey-caves.

Got whupped by a 13-year-old wearing a Napoleon hat. My girlfriend showed up at the end of the game. I played it off like I was letting Little Timmy win at toy soldiers because I was a nice guy, not because I have terrible luck and the little sh_t was a tactical genius. Not sure my deception worked, tho.

We were coming home from a tourney Saturday night when we were stopped at a roadblock. The various counties like to troll for drunk drivers and stuff by doing "license checks", it's just an excuse to try to bust people for having expired tags and inspection stickers because they're not normally allowed to do that...

I slowed down, turned down the radio, made sure everyone had their belts on, turned on the interior light, and put both hands on the wheel as I came to a stop. I rolled the window down as the deputy walked to my window and the other one looked at my plate. I didn't even take my belt off to get my wallet after he asked for my license. After he gave me my license back, he swept the back seat one more time and noticed my buddie's red GW tray full of Tau Crisis Suits. He asked,"What are those little men for?" After a pause, Me, Rob, and Dak all muumbled out variations of,"They're miniatures for a tabletop miniatures wargame." He said,"That's pretty cool. Y'all be careful."

It went pretty smooth, but I did say out loud,"Where are we?" because I lost track of the intersections and lost my night vision from the flashlights so I temporarily lost my bearings. Rob said,"That wasn't the best thing to say in front of a cop."

That reminds me of a time when one of my associates was showing another friend and I his MageKnight figures. It had just come out. His dad,who was very old, completely innocent and without malice, burst out with,"Hey, Bobby! Are you showing Ken and Witt your dolls?" We were snickering when Bobby blew up and yelled,"They're not dolls, they're tabletop miniatures!" All three of us were about 33 at the time. Neither Ken or I lived with our parents.

A couple of years ago I was playing a game at a pretty cramped game area. I did a pretty stupid roll in hopes that the dice gods would favor me just once. I rolled 3 dice, two bounced off the table, and one bounced into the shirt of my opponents (California 8) girlfriend who was painting at the side of the table.

I kiss that dice every time I roll it now.

I tried to kick start this with an Odd Moment Thread, but I'll jump ship on to this thread. Here are some posts of mine pulled from said mentioned thread:

" “Calling all Vampires”

Like I stated in the old Awkward Gaming Moment thread after my sports practice I would go and hang out with the vampires who were allowed to use a wing of our high school to play their LARP. While there I was a hapless human to be preyed upon, while the vamps played out their game.

I had a one friend who played the game as a vampire, he typically had the expression of an overexcited puppy and often found very creative ways of getting into trouble. Well he decided to stir things up while we were hanging out in the English room/bar and jump onto the table and scream out something like, “Vampires, vampires are all around us, flee humans save yourselves we are surrounded by vampires!”. This of course effected the game significantly as the vampires had to conceal their existence from the mortals. Another friend, people who read the Awkward Gaming Moment thread would know him as Mr. Pink, played along as a mere human and spouted lines like “Gee golly vampires here, Oh NO!!” in nasally geeky voice. Both were dragged out of the “bar” and with the excuse that they had too much to drink.

Well, the game went back to normal with the humans writing off the encounter as two drunks having fun. Then a voice comes on from the intercom, “To all normal humans you are surrounded by vampires flee, flee now!!!” The system was set up so any classroom could call any other so he could be anywhere in the school. He continued to use his radio time to out the Vampires and warn humanity of the undead threat with Mr. Pink acting as his backup DJ, the vamps searching for him all the while – checking each classroom in the school.

Eventually they got to him and you could hear the struggle over the intercom with him shouting out a final message about supporting the resistance before being cut off. I think he was banned after that."

AND

"I typically found that gaming at a friend’s house instead of my own or a FLGS a trying experience. One example was I was playing at a friend’s house and his cat kept jumping on the table and knocking over miniatures. My friend seemed to think it was cute and would lavish attention onto it. He even went so far to suggest that the cat be incorporated into the game as a randomly encountered monster with models knocked over taking wounds and glancing hits.

I simply veto that suggestion, but in my mind I was thinking, “Yeah great idea, and if I score a hit on it with my dark lances I should be able to slap it off the table”.

Other times:
I showed up for a 2000 point game only to find out the game was to be played on a card table less then 3’ by 3’

Been mauled by overfriendly dogs or younger siblings

I had a friend try to hook me up with his sister because he had a prophetic dream of us getting married. “I dreamt you married my sister, want to meet her?”

One time I took of my shoes upon entering the house only to have his dog get over excited and urinate all over the floor while prancing around. My friend cleaned it up by simply running over a paper towel over the spots."

Honestly, its awkward reading about your vampire larps

Played a game at the local shop. (Last weekend)

The guy was a new 'Nid player, who decided it wasn't worth actually modeling a MC the way he wanted to use it, and had 3 bio weapons choices modeled on each.

Well, he was having trouble making a list, so I gave him some pointers on what I thought worked, and doesn't work with 'Nids now.

Long story short, I Fethed up, had the game and handed it to him.

.....I looked pretty dumb loosing to a 50% proxy list I helped him make......

You're too talented with lists for your own good...

Perhaps one of the saddest moments in my gaming history.

Went to an event today, a 1,500 Fantasy Battle game. There were about 4-5 people signed up for it, and the place was somewhat farther than my normal FLGS.

No one showed up. The game was to start at 5:00 (I was there at 3:45 just in case, and I had gotten a 750 40k Game going on with my friend). When I entered the FLGS, I saw many people, and the place was packed. at 5:00, there were a good 4 people left, all of them painting, none of them intending to play in the event. I shrugged, packed up, and left.

...that must of sucked.

you have my sympathy.

Mmmm.... LARPing...

well i was playing ig with my dark eldar. was about 3rd turn, my DE lord + wyches just beat up 3 groups of guardsmen in one close combat, really didn't see that coming... stupid multiple combat moral rules -.-
anyways, my lord and wyches are right in the middle of his gunline awaiting their execution. he announces his demolisher was going to fire at them, he places the large blast marker - no scattering - i already start removing my models, while he rolls to wound and this happened:




i couldn't stop laughing for about 5 minutes, although he afterwards just blinked away those wyches with his standard issue imperial flashlights

my first tournament game: My Guard vs Chaos Daemons, never played them so i thought maybe i stand a chance. The other player goes "ok time for daemonic assault" and i said "the what?" 2 turns later i had a tank. just a tank.

Mein Eyes, so many ones!!!! That's what happens when you use purple dice, even with DE. Jk, thanks for the pic.

Not to mention, spelling 'losing' with two 'O's. (har-har )

@osbad: What the hell was THAT?

@sieek: lol, what else can I say but lol.

Well, I'm pretty sick of my friend's recent attitude towards Fantasy. He views it as a type of "King of the Hill" type status, and he thinks that he's knocked me, the "King" off my Moralist High "Hill".
