A kid I usually play at GW likes to bend the rules or flat out ignore some. He once lined up terrain all in a neat line for himself in the middle of the map all connected up. I called him out that you can't join terrain together like that, but he whined and I couldn't be bothered.

He's also that guy who brings three flyers to a 1500 point battle (this is all the flyers he could buy mind you, he mentioned he wanted to buy even more).

I guess I should legitimately contribute here.

A couple months ago there was a tourny nearby. Having just fashioned up my small freebooter ork army, I was ready to go to battle.

2 trukks, 2x20 boy squads, some lootas, and a deffkopta. It was a....700 or something pt tourny. Oddly enough I don't remember what I used for an HQ. It wasn't a warboss. Perhaps a mek? Whatever.

Anyways, my army was built around CC, and now that I think of it it was an intro to 6th edition tourny.

So I face a sisters army. 3 sqauds with a flamer and melta in each.

The actual game went something like this. I moved forward with trucks. Bolter fire destroyed them, they ramshackled back the wrong way. Orks got out, moved forward, got boltered to hell and back. All the while Lootas did nothing but miss. On the occasion they hit, the sisters made their invuln save. At the end of the game I killed one model while he killed almost every model in my army.

That rather dismal match is not what made me dislike my opponent, it was him constantly talking about how sisters were just god teir. On top of that, when he first rolled for faith points, he practically screamed PRAY HARDER! And, much like some sad sod who doesn't know he's running a good joke into the ground by using it all the time, the guy continued to gloat and scream about praying. The whole match I was kicking myself for not running IG and shoving a leman down his throat.

So I talked to a buddy of mine who goes to the location in question more often than I, and he told me that that guy is basically a social pariah, and for good reason. Nobody plays him more than once, and nobody likes him.

While I wasn't a bad opponent during the affair, I did feel bad for not putting on a game face after the third turn. It was pretty obviously screwed, and I just wanted the game to end so I can try again and get away from the guy.

Surprisingly enough though, he gave me high sportsmanship scores. All of my opponents did. Won best sportsman and walked away with a 15 dollar gift card. That plus because the store was clearing out it's gw merchandise, I managed to get an Ork bomba for like 15 bucks after the discount and that gift card.

@Necroshea
Shh, don't worry. Let him have his moment. If he wants to believe his sisters are god tier, let him live the dream.

And I can understand him screaming PRAY HARDER! at his sisters. When I roll for the Chaos Boon and get something really crappy, I feel like screaming at my guys to do better.

I played this one guy in an escalation league, and he we

were both getting ready to deploy.

So, this guy asks me(because we

were not running WAAC lists in this

league, like, it wasn't allowed) if I'm

running missile

spam/thunderwolf spam, in our

750-850(can't remember which.)

because quote "were trying to

get away from that kind of play" then

proceeds to place ragnar, 15 bloodclaws,

and a landraider with a multimelta on the table,

and some grey hunters with melta. I look at him,

look down at his models, and ask. "your joking right?" he

says no, I kind of chuckle, and we get on with playing. He

was also kind of annoying in that, If something was even

remotely questionable, like range/los/ect, he would say

"EHHHH, I don't know about that....." which was really

obnoxious. I also play with friends, and enjoy playing them,

but one of my friends is a lawyer, so you'd think he'd be able

to read for detail, but he has at least 10x the mistakes I have

made with the game. Most in his favor. Last game, he was

playing chaos, and said the Burning brand of skalathrax

was S5 to which I argued, after sighing, he looks it up, and

see's I'm right, that it was only S-4 after all. He's a great guy

and fun to play against, but I can't help feeling that If I don't

know his Dex front to back, something might slip past in his

favor, by design (I'd like to hope not) or otherwise.

We play in house and never play torneys, we smoke and drink and play a "gentleman's game". That being said you believe that everyone would try to make the game as enjoyabler as possible since nothing is on the line except friendship.

We have one friend who is always trying to get one up on everyone.

-We always have to check his list's math. He's been over as much as 500 points before. When's the last time you carried the 5?

-he always places walls down and makes everything lethal terrain and complains when you do it.

-has never physically read the rules but will argue you down if he disagrees with you. Still wants to roll off when you find the rule in question in the book.

-will ask what your playing tonight, then proceed to "tailor" a list to beat yours.

You may ask ourself why we kep this guy around.........has the finest greenery in the state.

I laughed so hard at the end. So sweet lol.
