Good winners = awesome.
Good losers = awesome.
Good loser/Good winner = doubly awesome.
Good winner/Bad loser = TFG FAIL

Now I'm the guy who's fun to play with but who has an outflanking genestealer list with a dakka-tyrant, dakka warriors, and 2 strangler fexes so I have something that shoots more than 18". I'm starting to find that people are getting more testy now that I'm actually not giving them as much of a run for their money... I'm actually starting to pull ahead and get a solid victory.

The last game I played was against a 2k chaos list with no tanks. He had a daemon prince with lash and a ton of noise marines. He said that my dakka-tyrant was cheesy and totally unfair and that I was cheating by using a proxied lictor (which was a plastic tree on a base with the words "I'm a lictor and I'm hidden. Boo!". Everyone thinks it's really funny and cool and he did too until I my genestealers came on the board). We were tied for objectives and I was ahead in KP's by 1 and he gave up and quit.

It really annoyed me that he started swearing and getting telling me my stuff was cheesy and that my rerolls weren't fair. He'd roll to hit, score 8 out of 12 and wound on 6 of 8 and pretend like he was doing terribly. I was just having fun and was excited that I stood a good chance of actually winning. I'm still having fun, still congratulating everyone on their good rolls, still not doing anything different. Just finding something that gives me a good shot at pulling out a win, because I'm really tired of losing all the time and feeling like I do more fighting with the rules that benefit everyone else and kill me than even fighting the enemy. I'm the guy who needs a 2+ to hit and gets a 1 three times in a row. I'm the guy who out of 27 dice gets no rending. I need all the help I can get, and this list is what has helped me do it.

So does anyone else feel like around some people having a competitive list is a detriment to getting along with them and makes for a much less enjoyable time?

You should buy him a beer and thank him for all the time he has saved you as you no longer have to waste time considering playing him again. Sounds like a tool...

Me too.
The problem is that I don't know if I'm a bad loser. Of course almost anybody is at least slightly annoyed if you lose match just because your Shadowswords Volcano Cannon misses complitely two times in a row. But at least I know I'm not consindered as TFG.

I hate proxys, but then again I would have hated it when I was winning too.

Other then that it doesnt sound like a fun person to play, maybe just skip it in the future?
