Right whenever I beat my brother at a game after he takes great joys in mercilessly beating me at every turn he decides to stop playing and refuses to play any more citing he lost interest.

We like to call it "grow the feth up already you snivelling man child"

Well for me it seems to be the phrase when in the middle of a game someone steps to our table and utters... "this is how you need to play your army..." when I havne't asked for any assistance.

outside of that it is having a 2+ save against most things (deathwing) and rolling all 1s.

I do try to on most occaisions, but when your playing the deep-strike-with-the-devil-surrounded-by-terrain, it ain't always possible

Nope. It was a big tournament, something like 30-40 players. The final round, by design, was a 3-player free-for-all.

And that's not even the worst of it, here are some of the rules:

Each army must deploy one HQ (just HQ, not retinue) model in the center.

Turn 1, you can only use units if they roll a 4+, otherwise they are "confused."

Roll off for who gets first turn. But if you get the first turn for Turn 1, in Turn 2 you automatically go LAST.

That is the worlds worst set of 'rules'.

Personally 4 way would make sense but 3?

so im guessing that it was table quarters so someone got stuck in the middle (which seems pretty unfair).

It was table quarters, with just one un-used quarter.

Objectives were one in each used quarter, and one in the center.

And my Dark Eldar got paired up against 2 Blood Angel armies. Guys who happened to be buddies and so on. Yeeeeah.

I'm all for unusual scenarios that force tactical thinking, and I'd even be okay with a 3-player game, but with the rule of "if you went first, be prepared for 4 turns of Blood Angel attacks" nonsense...yeah. Not fun.

I feel your pain, only for me it was Eldar with 'guide' on their missiles on one half and a two-basilisk IG on the other

Easy, having a dude at a tournament accidentally roll a 6 sider into my retardedly hard to put back together metal landraider crusader sponson.

Oh i nearly cried...

Thats in the BRB, i've played it before and had alot of fun with it. In a tournament though, that would really suck...

Ok so I have two-three

The first one didn't happen to me but a kid that goes to my LGS where I go to college. Now I've told the story about the big guy who yelled and fussed making this kid cry infront of everyone. What I didn't say was the pregame rolls. It's his DoA/DC vs this kids Tau. Yeah already not fair. Now first off Jordan, the kid, wins the roll off and goes first actually taking a table quarter that forced the BA a fair distance away. Now the other guy, I won't say his name, just came back from the register while Jordan deployed no biggie. He promptly annonunces his army will be all in reserve. As he walks up he just grabs one of Jordan's dice and says rolling to steal the initiative. He failed to ask to borrow and to steal. He wadles around to his side of the table yelling about how he doesn't like his dice and demanding a reroll with his dice which look like casino dice. He rolls despite Jordan's protests and gets a 6, practically forcing a reroll.

Now for mine. This was back with the old DE book, about 2-3 years ago. I had just gotten through with a game and had time for another one. They guy I'm playing says he wants a rematch because "I was over the point limit." I kindly pull out my list that I printed off and hand it to him with my codex. He brushes me off and says he's using a different list. Not only does he refuse to let me see it. It is practically a DE kill list. It couldn't win against nids. Basically it was assault cannon razorbacks, rifleman dreads, and ML/PG marines everywhere. Now I'm pretty sure it was around 2K-2,250 in an 1850 game. Needless to say I was less than pleased by this lack of sportsmanship from someone I considered a decent guy and good player. We rolled up objectives, 3 of 'em. He just started destroying my army. End of the game I pulled a double flat out hopping move to take 2 of the objectives. Moral of the story don't be a duesch and respect the speed!

Number 2 would be the same guy from the first story. Noticing a trend yet? He used the same BA list on me that I saw him use on Jordan, but this was still when DE had the old codex. He tried to rush on foot not thinking DE could shoot effectively with only S3 rifles. Then I unleashed my dissintegrators on his tightly packed DC and assault marines, so basically 9 plasma cannons Not believing me that that was my current codex he insisted on using his old 3rd ed codex for his rules despite using the 5th ed book to build the army. I still tabled him in 2 turns.

Dude. Your girlfriend plays with you. STFU with your complaining and repeat the stat-lines 100 times if you have to.

No kidding!!! I has taken me a while just to get my GF to not feel like it is a complete waste of time for me to enjoy my hobby.

When I was just starting out I was playing my tau army in a small doubles tournament with my close friends, and in the final round we played against these players that spent the whole game telling us how horrible our paint job was (I was 10 give me a break!) and how amazing theirs was. Then they went on to make up a bunch of rules just so they could win (I didn't know better at the time.). If I ever play them again I promise I will grind their army to dust .

Watching a knocked down, furyless Doomshaper roll tough 9 times during an assassination run of the Domination release event.

Nobody said anything for what seemed like forever. Finally, the trolls player I was up against (who is a great guy) said what we were all thinking.

"Dude, I've never seen anyone get fethed so hard."

Hmmm, another one for me. The moment when the set of shelves affixed to the wall gave a terrifying groan and collapsed. Sending YEARS worth of lovingly painted and built models shattering upon the cold concrete floor.

The best part? I was under said shelves fixing an electrical socket. So when my wife burst in to see what the noise was, all she saw was dust, a pile of boxes, tool kits, model pieces...and a pair of feet poking out from the carnage.

Oooooh, tough luck Mutley! I really hope you dont collect a horde army, also I hope you didn't have the electricity was on or....... ZAP!

I feel your pain

Thats because you don't have a Sanguinary Priest next to you.

I went to a team tournament near the end of this most recent summer with a friend. The tournament itself was great fun, but what a certain someone had to say really annoyed me.
As a student, I spend my Summers (and this current Christmas) in Calgary, and my school months in Lethbridge. As such, I spend time with two different gaming groups. Anyway, this tournament was held in Calgary, but some Lethbridge people came to play as well. Anyway, one of the people from the Lethbridge group ended up writing this fairly hateful blog about people at the tournament:

http://bloodofkittens.com/40kblogs/2011/09/05/mythacon-40k-the-armies/

What got me was the personal attack against me:

Grey Knights. Draigo, wound allocated 10 man squad of paladins, vindicare assassin. Players Choice for best painting (we'll get to that later, let's just say I drew with him for first but didn't win). I personally CANNOT stand this guy. He goes to school in my city and is renowned in the scene as a douche.

He's just a single member of the Lethbridge group, but because of that attitude, I avoid going to play with the group unless some of my friends want to go.

I just read that blog post and although couldnt find that personal attack on you. I still find is attitude appauling and he is someone that I would never like to play against. He is critizizing people for having imagination and not wanting to pait their armys the same as the codex tells them to. Admitidly the strawnoughts were abit far but his attitude was horrible.

EDIT: I saw the personal attack along with many other attacks at people. As others have said what a prat and a douche.

That guy is obviosly a fething pratt
