1.This was said by one bloke who came round." I'll bring round my 6mm Romans to fight your 10mm Celts next time"...i didnt ask him back!
2. A so called friend said he wanted to do 40k with me but after 3 1/2 years still hadnt bought any thing. When i bought this up he
said it "was fault cause i bought too much stuff"....Got rid of him.
Whats been said to you Dakka?

Once had a GW customer claim he was joining the army, but didn't have to do basic training [i]because reasons[/u], despite an actual Captain of Her Majesty's Armed Forces calling him out on it.

Stinky O'Blobby didn't even back down despite the job he described being the very same one said Captain actually does....

I once told myself that i could afford this hobby.

I was called a Nerd when I handed my opponent an army list with some fluff I wrote about my army and named my squads individual names. I was 15. He had an unpainted army.

"Is that why you're still a virgin?". Said by a GW staffer to me when nerding out about something in a new codex release around mid 3rd ed.

If I'd have realised at the time I would've reported that witch.

Did she forget it isn't highschool anymore, why upset a customer? Some people, I hope you didn't go back while she worked there which I assume wouldn't have been much longer with customer skills like that.

People can be awkward, even ladies, even ladies working in retail. Abrasive thing to say but everyone makes mistakes.

One time, when talking about cohesion rules, a buddy explained that all of the figs in the unit must be within 2" of each other. We asked him if this was the katamari damacy miniatures game.

"I'm a Danish longaxeman" by a space wolves collector.

"We are the Emperor's executioners" by the same space wolves collector.

I encountered a guy in MWO (Mechwarrior Online). He was on the forums and switching between talking about how great his clan was and raging how they had been treated unfairly in a tournament they had lost. He made the mistake of bragging about how many former military were in his clan. Another player started to take his bragging apart, from his clan's performance to the supposedly close parallels between being former military and being able to pilot a virtual battlemech with built-in aim assist.

That's when this guy clearly lost it and his brain sailed right out the window. He Summed his rebuttal up with this brilliant comment.

"B**S***! You don't understand OpSec!"

To this day I'm not certain what OpSec had to do with his argument, his opponent's rebuttal, or the piloting of the aforementioned virtual giant stompy robots. For all the next year, the hilarious response to being called out was always 'You Don't Understand OpSec!'

When telling someone I was collecting a german WW2 Bolt action army...

"You must be a Nazi if you're collecting a German army" :/

It wouldn't be a very fun WW2 wargame if everyone played the allies, would it?

It was a guy, note what the filter censors "Cambridge University Netball Team" to.

Never occurred to me at the time to do anything about it (mainly also as that was literally the only place I had to play).

Operational Security? Generally means having a need to know or keeping internal workings secret. Not sure the context at which it was used but could be relavent wheb discussing a clan strategy I suppose.

I don't think I know anyone who plays WW2 without having some Germans, they might have been evil (they really really were in their high commands case) but the tanks were cool.

If we're calling people out on stupidity can we have the title amended to include either 'stupidest' or 'most stupid'? Amalgamating the two is horrendous.

In my early teens one of the only other 40k players I knew would talk like an Ork during games. it sounded ridiculous and he couldn't even claim it was thematic since he played Eldar!

"Time to start a new army", said to me... by me.

"Jumping on the band wagon, huh?" An opponents response when I played my one and only game with Grey Knights after the release of the 5th Edition 'Heressss Draigo!' Codex.

He didn't understand why half the store started sniggering. So I played a game with him - find the plastic model. It turned out, with the exception of a DreadKnight, he couldn't...because I' had 3000 points of Grey Knights that I had been playing since 4th Edition. Even when he rejoiced that the Dreadnaught was plastic, I replied, "Nope, one's ForceWorld so it's Resin and the others converted from the metal Venerable Dread."

Eventually, I threw him a bone and pointed out the one plastic unit I had, beyond Dready - the Shrine Raider, a a heavily converted Land Raider that has a small Shrine built on top (fencing, candles, the Tomb of an Imperial Saint, etc) that my Grand Master (converted from metal Marneus Calgar, some Inquisitor 54mm bits and a whole lot of kits) and his bodyguard rode in on.

In fairness to the guy, the store did have a lot of issues with gamers hoping on the perceived 'power list' that just released (lots of people miraculously finding their unpainted, Sanguinary Guard heavy, plastic kit Black Company, Mephisto Blood Angels list in the days after it was released were found - but the shop did well at Codex launches...) but, seriously, don't assume.

"I don't smell anything, what are you talking about?"

My favorite was, "I'm so jealous of your armies (SM and Eldar). My Necrons don't get to reroll anything."

This was last edition.

One time I posted in a thread where the OP put a double superlative in the title! It's not the "most stupidist" thing by far but it sure is a bit ironic given the point of the thread.

"Dark Eldar are overpowered."

Said during 7th edition.

"What a load of bs!"

Said by 5th edition IG player when he threw his command squad into CC with my carnifex He was quite upset after he started rolling saves for them, and I stopped him to tell him he didn't get any.

"I could destroy your 10 man paladin with draigo and inquisitor unit in 1 turn of shooting."

Said during 5th edition.

I'd have to say "Most stupidist".

Or perhaps anything that the pilot and "bombardier" said when I ended up the tail gunner for a pair of vocal neo-nazis in Planetside 2. But that's a story for another day...

Oh, they must have been talking about their Bolt Action armies.

Wasn't said to me, but someone I had been in the same room with earlier this year (and didn't even talk or interactive with) decided to call me a 12 yr old in an attempt to piss off a friend of mine some months later.

He succeeded in pissing my friend off (by hurling other insults and the like about), but when I found out about it I couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity of it all.
I know I look a bit younger than I am, but not almost a decade younger.

I'll call myself out on this one.

Before WE got their 8E book they had a reputation for being a weak army So when I was paired up against a WE army in a local I said to my friend "Oh good, this will be easy."

Then I found out how a really really good WE general can make fighting WE a real Vietnam experience...
