Nah, I'm secure in my assessment of his need to not reproduce. At least I'm not calling for the electric chair for the guy. Remember, we have population problems at the moment-my solution benefits humanity.

Mmh, well, it's unnecessary. Such people often lack the capability to attract a mate in the first place.

I've found a-holes like him will get somebody, usually through fear/intimidation. It's a disgusting world we live in. My views are radical, but I don't think they're wrong.

I noticed that guy was unusually muscular and fit for a 40k player, so I have a personal theory that he's a bully outside of the context of the game and indulges in a nerdy habit to pick on a hobby typically filled with the less than physically fit. And thus had a meltdown when someone stood up to him and won.

He thought you were going to be playing a tailored match, and you lied about it. You're lucky he didn't quit in the first turn.

I agree with Kaldor.

If it was me I wouldnt even have unpacked my army and just moved onto the next person. I don't ask people what army they are bringing to tailor mine to counter theres. I want to know just so I can prep my strategy and look up what are the highest value targets.

Awesome stereotype. As stated in previous threads I myself am more muscular than most "nerds" in FLGS because I kayak, mountain bike, ski etc etc.

He probably is just a regular guy who is competitive, many competitive people hate losing. For all you know he was in the military.

My theory is you were a person who was picked on by a lot by people who are muscular and thus assume anyone who is physically fit and competitive is a bully.

Muscles = bullies?

Things like this are why I don't even go to LGSs anymore, there is just too much stupidity in the air.

He was a jackasss without compare. That's definitely bully material. That and the fact that he would keep on taunting losing players, then pick on them *after* they lost.

When I kayak or mountain bike I taunt people so they HTFU not to be a bully. I've seen more "skinny nerds" emo rage and talk gak than muscular guys. When I lose people talk gak to me and I talk gak to other people, it doesnt make me or them a bully and it doesnt reflect how I treat others outside of whatever activity.

I dont doubt he was a jackass at your store but to assume he's always liek that or that he's a bully because he is physically fit is just as childish.

He told someone half his age he was worthless, a failure at life, that he was born out of wedlock, that he sucked a mountain of , questioned his masculinity, threatened to physically beat him up, insulted him with every move he made, and generally spoke like a sailor with Tourette's syndrome who just stubbed his toe while playing counterstrike. That's a bully.

That doesn't change how idiotic your bolded statement is, seriously, "I saw this muscular guy so he must be a bully, herp derp."

Fair enough, i'll concede that I said something without thinking clearly. My apologies for any bad feelings.

Just to show that Grimdark trains have potential anywhere.

I asked mainly because a friend of mine who's had an AoBR set for over a year but hasn't used it yet, asked me a while back if there would be any conversion possibilities involving a gameboard and a functional miniature railroad set - basically theming the board around having a model railroad on it, and converting the train to be more 40k-ish, including adding guns to the train. I said yes, and that it was an awesome idea.

Another guy who spammed Vendettas and Vultures with an admittedly nicely painted Elysian army, seemed to rub in the fact that many armies couldn't touch his by playing "can't touch this" on his iPod for people to hear when his cover saves negated most of their shots. I was about to go up to him when the Ork neckbeard let me borrow three of his flakkadakka guns and told me to "wipe that smug grin off of his face" with them, and so I switched out from my usual tyranids for my Deffskullz army. We agreed to IA units since he was already using vultures, and he was expecting a easy win, until his vendettas were blasted out of the sky by the flakka guns and the men inside shot to pieces by lootas once deprived of their vendettas.

The vultures followed soon afterwards and then he started raging and ranting about how Orks shouldn't be able to be that accurate and raised such a commotion that the Manager was brought in, I asked him if the Flakkadakka gun would be able to ignore flat out movement saves, and he said "that's how the anti-aircraft rule should work in normal 40k" And the IG player reacted by smacking a dozen models off of the table, one of which hit another person in the cheek, and the manager told him to pack his stuff up and leave.

This guy and the guy before were in the states when I used to live there. He's not quite as bad as the guy who picks on kids, but "can't touch this" get's heinously annoying after the fiftieth time to say nothing of flipping out like that when a ruling is decided against you.

Yeah I'm rather glad to not see him ever again. At least his DKoK Tank spamming cousin is much more graceful with his victory streak, although half the time he was as silent and stoic as the Krieg itself.

The very worst sportsmanship I've ever seen since I started the hobby waaaaay back in 1997;

Toronto Grand Tournament, I think it was the 2001 event? Might have been 2000, but anyways.
This rather large, unwashed white guy on the 40k side of the event pulls out his 'Traitor Guard' army, and all his models are wearing white robes with pointy hoods and have three K's painted on them.
His opponent, who wasn't white, just looked on utterly shocked and you could see the anger rising as this complete tool just grined stupidly at him. Then this moron total hat actually has the audacity to tell his opponent, "hey look, my army is totally themed against you!" (along with a couple other words not allowed in any civilised conversation)

The GW staff at the event obviously told the racist jerk to pack up his crap and leave the event. They told him his name would be blacklisted so he would never be able to attend another GW run GT.

The next year saw another idiot who thought it would be a 'great idea' to model his IG army to look like an SS brigade, swatikas and all. A little imagination is all you need to figure out his 'theme' for his 'conscripts'.



Grown adults beating up on little kids is appauling and sickening to watch, but a part of me cries a bit inside when I see some racist smearing our hobby's image.

Not gonna lie I LOL'd at work reading his comment "my army is themed against you." While crude it was pretty good.

While I wouldn't paint my army with SS or swastikas. I always wanted a DKoK Army painted like the German uniforms of WWII.

D: WHY DO PEOPLE ACT LIKE THIS?!

I want to cry. Seriously? A KKK themed army? A PoW and Concentration Camp based army? Dear lord, people don't care about actual historical truth anymore, do they?
