The only way to combat that kind of dickery is to be a bigger dick.
He hassles you about time? You hassle him right back, and call over a judge right away and tell him that he is wasting time.

He causing you trouble about terrain? Call over a judge and make sure you explain that its him who wanted the judge, you just went to go get him. That will shut him up pretty quick.

You, sir, should have gotten a free 2+ invuln save from sheer awesome. That sounds like something I do in public places for kicks (oh, the reactions. Good stuff.)

I also usually sing "Smoke on the Rhino" when Ipop smoke...yes I'm a nut to play against...

This one time...... at band camp.


Seriously though, this one time at a RTT, I was playing my Biel Tan Eldar vs a Tau player. This was circa 2002. I had basically lost the game to massive firepower. I finally was able to make it into close combat with the guys general. I think it was my banshees that caused two wounds that required him to take 2 invulnerable saves. He rolls snake eyes and then proceeds to give me the double bird and an F*** you twice. That was pretty awkward, and oh by the way he was probably in his early 40's.

Nurgleboy77, if we two were ever to play, the amount of random sillyness would probably force nearby people to roll invulnerable saves or take wounds as their brains melt. And it would be awesome.

Seconded! If yer ever in the Nashville, TN area or I'm ever going up north to Edinboro, PA (wherever that may be...lol) We should definitely get a game in!

Hmm... what a Douche! I'd call a judge and get him expelled or something. Only thing worse than playing a Jackass is getting beaten by a Jackass that sulks when the smallest thing goes awry!

No they didn't.. Girls never walked into Springfield GW, they always went to the Hot Topic across the hallway and all you mooks would drool over the table. I swear each week we had to buy 100 spit cups to contain the saliva from you knuckle draggers.. LOL

They did in my dreams! Maybe one day, the girl with 4 lip and eyebrow piercings will one day talk to me.

Yeah I think it's about time we start keeping track of all the gay points Malfred is accumulating.

He's up to at least 3 since my gaydar went up. LOL

Singing is nothing, this is waht my group, the Blade and Bolter Boys (est. 1995), does before every big tourney:

BLADENBOLTER BOYZ CHANT


I'm the loud one in the red/black. Yes we're the coolest, I know...

The worst matchup I've had recently was against one of those bipolar players who went from sullen whinging to inane victory dances in the space of about 3 minutes.

I was playing IG in a kill point mission, a custom points level to accommodate his army (IIRC it was 800 points or something like that). I basically never stood a chance against his marines, most of my artillery fire simply ricochet'd off his armor, and the guy was acting like I was utterly humiliating him every time he lost a single model.

When his army then started kicking me left right and center, with me trying desperately to do *anything* to kill Tigurius and his terminator cohort, he started jumpeing and prancing around like a looney, obsequiously patting himself on the back for feats of tactical genius like firing terminators' storm bolters at my infantry squads.

In the end, I conceded because it was obvious that a) I was heading for a massacre with zero IG models on the table, and b) my opponent was not going to treat me like an adult.

When the chant ends, you should kick in Manowar's Sons of Odin at head-shattering volume (I think some Noise Marines would be happy to accomodate that) for theme song accompaniment as you all head for your game tables.

Agamemnon2: That kid I played gets almost exactly like that in most games. You would think his tactical squad firing bolters was not only the greatest intellectual leap of all time, but it was swear-ifically 'gangsta' as well. And chaos help you if he was using his orbital bombardment...he would waste five minutes or more going on about all the names he's given it, and what it's going to do to your army, and what idiots they are to be there in the first place....I shan't elaborate further, but he tends to bang on a bit. Just a bit. *Twitch*

Thats why one should carry a BB Gun.

I don't know, that's kind of like saying you would rather have a large changer of ways than a brainwashed SOB.

At least you're not playing this guy... (I think Waaagh_Gonads posted it first)

There used to be a boy at our club who really cheesed me off. He would always play massive games with 8 players on small points values then complain that games took ages.

Anyways one time I grudgingly decided to play in one of these games, just to give it a go. Turn 3 he's run out of food and gets bored. Suddenly he starts throwing orks at me!
I tell him to stop but he carries on until eventually he breaks one of MY models into tiny peices with a metal model of his. At this point I pack up and leave.

MMMM 300 pound goth girl.... Imean aaa man now that's one of them Awkward gaming monments

Hmm, Is it acceptable to post Pictures of Whale Gnads? because having one of them show up would be kind of awkward.

Only if its brother comes along and each is larger than the other. Then their sister comes along to take them home after a rather intuitive discussion about tactics.

Y'all need to learn to enunciate properly, until the last part live in the halls of valhalla forever, all I heard was mumble mumble mrfgh hgshf fmarjght murph..

The most awkward moment I've ever experienced was when I first started the hobby. As a twelve year old wargamer (don't throw shoes at me!), I was the youngest person at my FLGS. Obviously I had a rough sketch of the rules but listened to what my opponents had to say and learned how to play as best I could. Never annoying, screaming or crying over anything, took everything on the chin. I was matched up with a forty year old, rather heavy-set man with a skullet and moustache. I had no idea he was probably the most UNFRIENDLY man in the store.

To have over other word punctuated with an f-bomb (loudly) whenever he rolled badly or I did something right (very rarely), DEFINITELY leaves an awkward impression.

I've been terrified every since.

My most awkward moment was when we were playing a game of 2vs2. It was turn 4 when all of a sudden, my friend on the other side got a phone call. He hung up, looked at us and said "Well, my girlfriend just dumped me.". That was pretty awkward.

Haha... Reminds me of THIS:







Ghidorah

I was playing an ultra marine player against my daemons, every time i would assault a unit of his, he would laugh weirdly and just say "I'm gonna fething lose again."

Needless to say he got what he wanted.

Man, that brings back memories.

When I was back in Michigan, we had one great little kid who was an absolute pleasure to interact with. Really nice.

I recently had an interesting 2v2 game this weekend against a couple of teenage SM players. They start off by shooting at one of my rhinos hidden behind a building, bending the tape measure over so it touches my transport. I'm not happy about it but my partner tells me to let it go and sure enough the rhino is popped. Next they said it was okay because if they had move their tank at a different angle they would have then had actual LOS... LOL on that one. When their rhinos explode they disembark their squads inside the wreck so our daemons have to charge through cover, which turned out not to be a big deal since we would just lash them out from the cover. Several times they would go back two to three turns in the game and claim something had happened differently... Rolls eyes... That is always a good way to piss people off. In the end it was mostly just an annoynance since we won by a massacre but what can you do? We did get to play a couple of other teenagers in an earlier round that were fantastic sports... Lovely game .

So there was this married girl that hung around our gaming group a while back. Her husband used to play but he started working night on club nights so he stopped coming but she still came by.
Well we all kind of thought that she was cheating on him with this other guy in the club. But it was verified when we were all standing around and she said some random thing and he replied "Only if I say so woman" and smacked her, quite loudly, on the butt. Talk about friggin awkward.

I've also seen a 40 year old man go "WOOO!" extremely loudly and start humping a table well saying "CAN YOU FEEL IT I JUST (EXPLETIVE) YOU UP!!" over and over after he killed a little kids HQ.

well at least he didn't do it to the kid...

The "I'm preggers" thread down in off-topic. Not just the first post, the whole thing with people trying to name the kid.
