frazz, how come you get to hve a dig at someone and we cant?

Because I have incriminating photos of Malf (doesn't everyone). Duh! The sad thing is he likes it...

EDIT: The problem with reading Ender's Game is that, now not only do I get ticked, but get images of sentient bug creatures having it out with human combat troops inside a ship with marines getting their "guts spilled out" by bugger shots.

doesent mean you have to edit my bloody posts
its only light hearted fun, without that, dakka would just be like warseer, with alot more people, and more interesting.

See PM JD

Oh and

havent go it yet, and if its a warning or anything against me im not gunna be happy

Its not. Did I mention

Strangely I think a Mod just reported..himself? You know this day has been weird when...

shows the intelect of some mods
please say it was gonads, i need a good laugh at his expence (nothing malicious, he just keeps +'ing the things i - in survivors)

im glad its nothing bad, havent got a warning yet
and can i report you?

Oh well back to real work.

awwww :(
lego?, cent? maybe yak?

wonder what happens when i click alert mod

lol, whats real work like?

editing your own post lol

theres no reason to go crazy if the action doesnt warrant it. just grow some balls and say hey man i dont think thats right. calmly ask them to show you the rules or re-measure the move. Now if they constantly continue cheating then you have every right to become a jerk. i still would say smashing there stuff is stupid. thats just low. thats like an angry g/f keying your car for no reason. if they do it a few times after you ask them to stop, then tell um to pack up and get out now.

Well, yeah, I've been know to play a few games of Beerhammer 40 oz., GBF. I'm 33 years old, I can do that. I don't see what your point is at all, please elaborate.

Read Ender's Shadow once you're done. It's a great companion book.

Good to know John. The 13 year old read EG at my request and was enamored. Of course he's young and thinks he's Ender in real life...

frazzell is a control freak.

prob. a good quality in a mod, to an extent. You seem alittle off, GBF, what's up?

frazz is a good mod
and its a good quality to have if your a mod.

Ah your flattery warms my heart. My kids would agree with you. Per the 9 year old my animal totem is a gorilla because: 1) I'm in charge (of the house); 2) I like to control things; 3) I get hot (hate the heat).

Yours truly surveying the yard to see if it needs to be cut


Its Frazzled though, thanks.

Uh, back on topic...?

I have no experience with cheaters in a tournament, as I've never played one. My sense is what many people have shared: make sure your opponent has a printed and legible army list, and has a copy for you to peruse. Know the rules well enough. Do not allow individuals to pick up hits, only misses. Be courteous, do not confront, but challenge where appropriate and bring the organizer/DM/rules boys over if necessary.

For playing at the store, where there's no money riding on it, take it easy. Ask yourself: is the person making a mistake? We all make mistakes, even vets. I've made a ton, and thankfully have never been accused of cheating. Ask what's going on and is that how the rule/unit/weapon works. The opponent may truly just be confused, and may appreciate the clarification (that just happened in a game of WM I played last weekend, and we're both 'vets'. If the person is cheating, remember this is a game of little dollies. Finish the game, shake hands, make a mental note not to play the individual again, and play other people.

If cheating, rules lawyering, whining, and other activities that drastically infringe on your ability to have fun (remember, why we spend money and time on these glorified line sinkers) is pervasive at the FLGS, it's time to find another group to play with.

Ender's Game is an exceptional book, easily accessible, and well-written. I can recommend it to anyone.

OTOH, if you're treating him like he's in Battle School, CPS may need to have a word with you...

more like the whole Emperor Complex thing going on...

I heard they tied him to a rail road tie and carried him to the outskirts of town... now he only plays in Jax, FL...

back to the OP. My experience is most cheating is unintentional. Just be well versed on the rules.

I dont have trouble with cheating as I am intimidating physically, and my gaming group encompasses a former body builder and a semi-pro MMA fighter, so even if Im not intimidating enough, my posse will be.

Also be careful on who you chastise. My good gaming buddy had the side mirrors torn off is car as well as having"You owe me Drug money" Keyed on the hood of his car for having a cheater banned from a FLGS for cheating and stealing.

Thats just sad and illegal. Just take his dice, getting overly worked up over a game just shows how lacking your real life is.

Yes... Because THEFT is neither, sad nor illegal.

I saw a lot of cheating while i lived in England.

Best one i saw was a game between a new kid, playing his firts game, and a "veteran".
In that game i got to see a game of 40k played over 17 rounds, marines with close order drill, chimeras with side hatches and many other strange things...
The red shirt even asked if they knew the rules...
I was thinking about telling him to stop cheating the new kid but since the staff didn't care i just left.

Cheating is sad, when you need to cheat in a game with painted miniatures you have a problem...

Never feel worried about asking your opponent to explain why something is doing what it is doing. If he has four attacks, ask why it has four attacks. They should be able to explain it has say 2 basic, +1 for CC weapon and pistol and +1 charging say. If they are wielding a powerfist, well you know to challenge them.

A lot of players use 6" measuring bronzes. A tip I picked up from Greg Sparkes when he was over here was taking making a T-bone from sprues. If you feel your opponent is moving too far, then place it on the table.

Thats a great idea for the T-Bone from a plastic sprue and you can offer it to them in a friendly way.


My problem is that you know I really dont care but its pretty obvious some people flat out cheat with a "ignorance" of the rules type attitude and that is usually the defense. Oh my bad I just didn't know etc.. was this way even though I have been playing the army for several months/ years.
