Who would you be considerd in your local friendly gaming store. The veteran, The noob, the cheesy guy, the awesome painter?

I myself am that guy you know the one that is a noob but isnt a huge ultramarine fanboy. Im the guy everyone thinks they should learn me everything they can. Especially the tau and dark eldar players. See me as they're protigy. ( I dont know the exact word for it but its something like that.) o who would you be considered

Most noobs aren't Ultramarines fanboys. That's an incorrect stereotype about both new players and Ultramarine players.

I'm definitely an experienced all-around hobby guy, and can talk tactics, painting, modeling, GW history, and what have you. I wouldn't exactly call myself "The veteran" since I've only been playing for about 6 years, and haven't done much in the way of tournaments.

Thanks for the corrections. And the thing was i came in the store the first thing i did was go buy a battlesuit and a codex and the hobby equipment. And in one week i returned i read the codex some 5 times including the fluff and had my battlesuit put together but not painted. My interest in the tau apparently sparked the attention of the tau players and the dark eldar players since all our DA players are or where tau vets.

I'm the guy with the weird lists who wins a lot, but shows you how I beat you and tells you tactics on how to beat me, and how to build lists to fit your theme, not the interpoop's.

I guess that's the Grizzled Vet.

Russ Wakelin wrote and article about the Phases of a Gamer on Dakka. This part applies to me:

In the video game world it's called 'The Glow', the point where you are so into the game that you are one with the experience. This can happen in table top gaming too. It will come one day when you play a great, close game, have not a single rules argument, laugh, joke, and lose. And when you do lose, you still realize that that was a VERY enjoyable couple hours of gaming. Most players can not get to this state until they have a good sized tourney or league win under their belts. By achieving this victory, the hungry veteran reckons that he has proven himself, and can now pull back a little, experiment, and not worry about winning so much. He's played enough games to know that he can still win even if his exact understanding of the rules are not followed. He also knows it can be fun to try out new units and list types, even if they are not considered the wisest choice. To watch two 4c gamers play is to watch a story unfold on the table top, and if don't look carefully it will be hard to notice that rules are being followed at all. Phase 4c gamers are always fun to play against, and can usually be found offering friendly advice to their opponents during the game, and will intentionally try weaker, more experimental lists when playing rookie players.

It should be noted that while it is usual for Phase 4c to be achieved via a major victory, this is not always the case. Some players, while deep in Phase 3, will have a utopian game (usually against a Phase 4c player) and achieve 'The Glow' prior to ever gaining that 'big win.' In these cases players can sometimes progress right to phase 4c without a tourney/league win under their belt. In many ways this is a more admirable feat.

I can't really understand why...

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

I'm the "noob" who knows the rules better than the "veteran" players in my league. It is incredibly frustrating. They assume that they are right because they've been playing for a long time and they instantly assume I'm wrong since I've been playing for a short period of time. In the past few weeks I've had huge debates with "veteran" players and had to teach them simple things like:

1) allocate wounds before rolling to save if the unit has mixed wargear
2) passengers cannot shoot from a vehicle if it moved faster than combat speed. "Open topped" and "fast" do not change this.
3) passengers with heavy weapons cannot shoot from a moving transport at any speed

I'm borderline done with my league because of it. Even when they ultimately see my reasoning, they get all sulky and short tempered. Its not my fault that a "noob" knows the rules better than they do.
