I've got one or two times I've had bad gamers.
The first one was this guy, we called him Gingy, for obvious reasons. He was very uninformed of the 40k rules, but played like he knew em'. The worst thing about him, was that he actually didn't own an army, he would use a bunch of Chaos Marines as Necron proxies, he also wouldn't write out a list, nor was it ever valid. He was loud and annoying, he would never stop talking about the most pointless things imaginable.
Second was these brothers. Their was a guy at the store, lets call him John, he had a mental disability, and if anyting, it made him more lovable haha His enthusiasm could only be rivalled by a warboss, which he was an ork player. Anyways, these two brothers come by to game, and John challenges them to a 2 on 1 game, from what I heard, John was having a blast, the other guys, not so much. The bros were winning too. So abiout halfway through the game, the one brother just explodes! And starts calling john a slow, and an annoying @#$%%y player, causing him to cry, and then the brother starts laughing about it! I swear those 2 guys are closet killers.

I hope they got a store ban at a minimum! On a side note, I don't know what John's disability was, but it's guys like this http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/180/537679.page who help give the hobby a good name and show what a great and supportive place it can be for people. I've already donated to the effort!

Experiment 626 wrote:Worst I've ever seen:
One of the local TFG's who had just gone out and bought a boatload of the new Grey Knights when their codex dropped last edition. He noticed the little 12 year old looking for a game, promptly agreed to play him... then found out Little Timmy played Daemons.
So TFG proceeded to put down a Quake-Shunt list with which to troll the poor kid.
Unfortunately, the GK's went first and very quickly covered pretty much the entire in Warp Quake bubble. When the Daemons tried to come down, TFG used his RAW "logic" in order to juggle the auto-misshaping Daemons between quake bubbles in order to either auto-destroy the units or kick them back into reserves.
The poor kid never even got to put a single one of his models on the table, meanwhile the GK player is going on about how cleaver he is with his "tactics" are and how Daemons are the absolute suck and Timmy should go buy a real army...
I have to give the kid super props though, you could see the tears starting to well-up in his eyes, but he managed to hold it in and didn't give the arse the satisfaction of seeing him cry.
id have bounced the clown on his head.
Trolling an adult who is wise enough to see past all that is one thing. Acting like that to a kid is low. And I know people will give me jip about violence etc, but meh. The idiot would have had it coming.

36" range isn't such a big deal, but you move 6" forwards (snapshots don't hurt as much as they could since they're twin linked...and missile drones can shoot the pods at full bs anyway, you did take missile drones didn't you?), then have an ethereal sitting around to give the air invocation that lets them fire snapshots after running (like battle focus...only not quite as good, but a lot more unexpected).
Had a dark eldar venom spam player sitting exactly 37" away from my army (apparently they have some wargear that makes your weapons 6" shorter range or something) and I pulled that one on him.
That was an interesting reaction worthy of this thread to be honest. I said during movement phase "my ethereal gives air invocation" and he just kinda shrugged because nobody expects air invocation (seriously, who doesn't give fire invocation for more pulse rifle shots?) Moved my broadsides 6" forwards, ran them to get 1" further up the board, then started rolling dice to hit. You should have seen the guy's face, he literally started yelling at me that I was cheating and demanded to know how I could do that.
Pulled open the codex to the ethereal page and showed him, then he wanted me to take it back because "I didn't tell him i could do that so he would have stayed further back". At this point I did something I probably shouldn't have and looked straight back at him and just made the "problem astartes" tau face.
Lol. That would have been an epic sight to see.
One time in an apocalpse game, a friend and I challenged a guy who has two Reaver Titans. I took a list containing a farsight bomb with fusion blasters and gun drones, and some Broadsides. The farsight bomb managed to take my opponents squad of Lysander and Terminators down to one wound on Lysander. You should have seen his face when I started shooting with my Broadside SMSs despite him being behind LOS blocking terrain. Killed Lysander and got four victory points for Trophy Kill.
Next turn he charged the farsight bomb with a dreadknight and another unit, since I used shield generator to stop him from shooting my farsight bomb. I hit and run after this and in the next turn I blow his Reaver Titan skyhigh with Fusion Blasters. My firend killed off his other Reaver using wolf guard with meltas and melta bombs. Ah fun times. He certainly wasn't happy. 
I once played Apocalypse at 1500 points in my local GW, my opponent took a DE formation with Vect that let his entire Raider army materialize from a portal. He then deployed a shield generator covering every model in his army, meaning he essentially he got to fire everything twice.
Didn't help that he got Vect and the Dais of Destruction completely free because of campaign bonuses or something like that. He then proceeded to kill 6 Tacticals in overwatch with 10 Kabalites when I tried to charge his vehicles.
Games were you never even stand a chance to begin with aren't fun.

That second part is just horribly bad luck.
The first sounds exactly like how a DE army mostly works in general.

What was the point level?
at 2000 points I find 2 riptides acceptable, but at 1000 points with 1 riptide it will absolutly rip through my armies. although I won't complain either way.
I like matches where my army is completely outclassed because it first of all gives whoever i'm playing arrogance, and they often make silly moves that they would not usually do, and it allows me to make reckless moves which if they work, could prove to be very awesome (or they could go horribly wrong haha).

I hadn't thought about it in a long time, but when I FIRST started playing, there was a kid with a blue LandRaider I will never forget because he looked like he poured the glue over it instead of putting it together. Glue globs under blue paint everywhere. He was disabled and kind of a funny dude, but he liked playing and a guy named..."Phil" (sure we'll go with that)... decideds that this kid "fronted" him and so he challnges him to play on a FOUR BY FOUR board with his tyranids and wasted him in like three turns and was like "In your FACE" to this kid.
No joke. I never did see that kid play again. I saw him at the store a couple more times, literally hanging out all day and trying to sll his unfortunate Landraider to some one. I think it just broke his spirit to play that guy. This "affronted" player is a well known player at our store, so I am evading naming him, but it was really... not awesome. I never saw what triggered this silly display, but knowing the personalities involved, I am guessing not much.
Hadn't even thought about that kid in like... man that musta been 9 years ago. Still kinda stuck with me though I guess.

I still remember a couple years back, the former WAAC/TFG player in our group playing (he has been working on being a better sport, and is much better [he just won a sportsmanship prize at a tournament] ) against me in my 2nd ever game of 40k. I go 1st and my dark eldar have a dreadful turn and only kill 2 guardsman which he proceeds to throw at his case. He is getting rather aggravated over 12 pts dying on the 1st turn. Over course, when he proceeds to wreck my army on his part of turn 1, it is the best game he has ever had. Until my talos kills a couple 10 man blob squads, and he rages till the talos dies. Then it is an awesome game (for him) until me incubi + archon start ripping into his guard castle, and he rages till only the archon is left (at that point he had dismantled all my other figures). He was all smile and giggles cause I was left with a damaged raider and 2 warriors left on the table at end game.

I played with a guy that gave me the "realism" talk about flames and how fire being thrown at you couldn't harm you like that. Proceeded to provide an example with a gas incident. Not a liquid incident. Made a massive show of being generous about how the rules worked, despite completely ignoring that men in the world wars would void the contents of both Bowell and bladder at the cough of a flame thrower, or, you know, flame throwers don't throw fire, they actually throw a long-burning liquid at you that is a noxious chemical that happens to be on fire, and the fact that the heat and burning consume oxygen that you need to breathe, melt your eyeballs, burns your lungs and esophagus, and clings to you as it burns. Even then--c'mon, it's 40 flipping k. There's totally a little side story where squad members are going to take advantage of a situation like everyone being distracted by fire to settle a personal vendetta or clear the way for their own advancement, or old Bobby's paralyzingly fear of fire sees him trip as he tries to run and dash the contents of his brain pan on the next rock--or a protruding spiky chaos icon. Or suffering from overuse of combat stims, the model mistook the fwoosh sound for the ice cream truck jingle.
Fire+cover= singed cover. Flame thrower+cover= cover that can't be used for the next 10 minutes because it will continue to burn or be too hot to occupy until then.

Wow, been reading this thread at work, and I was excited to gather my army up and play at FLGS/ GW but now I am a little hesitant. I dont mind losing at games, it just makes me want to do better in the end, but I have serious issues with people acting less than human, also with touching my units.
They may be plastic, but I have given names to every member of my pack and even a little back story with em. who knows, I might still go play at the friendly shop, I am not too sure Ill ever go to the GW shop, the manager is a  .
I also hate the idea of groaning and moaning before the game actually starts, regardless of the army I play against, I am sure I will have a little fun.

I guess I can confess to having been the really immature player.
When I started playing it was OnG vs Dwarfs (we had one BfSP each, plus some extras) and everytime we played my Orcs would be about 500 (plus minus, I never really counted) more than his and I could cheat (changing the die result when he wasn't looking, claiming false stats etc) but I stopped all that once we switched to 40k, now (to repent for my sins so to speak) try to be as friendly as possible, never being 'That Guy' and just make sure that every game is a fun and pleasant experience for everyone involved.

When I started playing it was OnG vs Dwarfs (we had one BfSP each, plus some extras) and everytime we played my Orcs would be about 500 (plus minus, I never really counted) more than his and I could cheat (changing the die result when he wasn't looking, claiming false stats etc) but I stopped all that once we switched to 40k, now (to repent for my sins so to speak) try to be as friendly as possible, never being 'That Guy' and just make sure that every game is a fun and pleasant experience for everyone involved.
I guess there may be hope for humanity yet

I dont mind losing at games, it just makes me want to do better in the end, but I have serious issues with people acting less than human, also with touching my units.
They may be plastic, but I have given names to every member of my pack and even a little back story with em. who knows, I might still go play at the friendly shop, I am not too sure Ill ever go to the GW shop, the manager is a  .
I also hate the idea of groaning and moaning before the game actually starts, regardless of the army I play against, I am sure I will have a little fun.
Think of it this way. Remember having been forced through sports? Band? Or classes? There is always that one..... Nuzzler, or.... You know, that person with the doctorate in making themselves the least liked person there because they know everything, are the best at it, and are naturally always right? They exist everywhere, along with people that suffer from the compulsive need to win. Look for the person that bends over laughing when Pedro kantor or pask-in-a-punisher roll all 1s on their to-shoot roll, or giggle when their ordnance drifts into their own guardsmen/mobz. You'll probably have fun.

36" range isn't such a big deal, but you move 6" forwards (snapshots don't hurt as much as they could since they're twin linked...and missile drones can shoot the pods at full bs anyway, you did take missile drones didn't you?), then have an ethereal sitting around to give the air invocation that lets them fire snapshots after running (like battle focus...only not quite as good, but a lot more unexpected).
Had a dark eldar venom spam player sitting exactly 37" away from my army (apparently they have some wargear that makes your weapons 6" shorter range or something) and I pulled that one on him.
That was an interesting reaction worthy of this thread to be honest. I said during movement phase "my ethereal gives air invocation" and he just kinda shrugged because nobody expects air invocation (seriously, who doesn't give fire invocation for more pulse rifle shots?) Moved my broadsides 6" forwards, ran them to get 1" further up the board, then started rolling dice to hit. You should have seen the guy's face, he literally started yelling at me that I was cheating and demanded to know how I could do that.
Pulled open the codex to the ethereal page and showed him, then he wanted me to take it back because "I didn't tell him i could do that so he would have stayed further back". At this point I did something I probably shouldn't have and looked straight back at him and just made the "problem astartes" tau face.
Lol. That would have been an epic sight to see.
One time in an apocalpse game, a friend and I challenged a guy who has two Reaver Titans. I took a list containing a farsight bomb with fusion blasters and gun drones, and some Broadsides. The farsight bomb managed to take my opponents squad of Lysander and Terminators down to one wound on Lysander. You should have seen his face when I started shooting with my Broadside SMSs despite him being behind LOS blocking terrain. Killed Lysander and got four victory points for Trophy Kill.
Next turn he charged the farsight bomb with a dreadknight and another unit, since I used shield generator to stop him from shooting my farsight bomb. I hit and run after this and in the next turn I blow his Reaver Titan skyhigh with Fusion Blasters. My firend killed off his other Reaver using wolf guard with meltas and melta bombs. Ah fun times. He certainly wasn't happy. 
I once played Apocalypse at 1500 points in my local GW, my opponent took a DE formation with Vect that let his entire Raider army materialize from a portal. He then deployed a shield generator covering every model in his army, meaning he essentially he got to fire everything twice.
Didn't help that he got Vect and the Dais of Destruction completely free because of campaign bonuses or something like that. He then proceeded to kill 6 Tacticals in overwatch with 10 Kabalites when I tried to charge his vehicles.
Games were you never even stand a chance to begin with aren't fun.
Oh I know that games where you don't really stand a chance aren't fun but the player we were up against does this himself. He is the same player I mentioned before who always brings this one big thing which takes up between a third to a half points of his army. He doesn't hold back against anybody so we didn't hold back against him. Automatically Appended Next Post: AntomanElven wrote: KonTheory wrote:I played against a tyranid player at the local GW
I was playing with my new tau army including 2 riptides
he started complaining about me being cheese before the game even started... he was complaining the whole time we were setting up,
right after we deployed, I stole initiative and he rage quit on the spot...
What was the point level?
at 2000 points I find 2 riptides acceptable, but at 1000 points with 1 riptide it will absolutly rip through my armies. although I won't complain either way.
I like matches where my army is completely outclassed because it first of all gives whoever i'm playing arrogance, and they often make silly moves that they would not usually do, and it allows me to make reckless moves which if they work, could prove to be very awesome (or they could go horribly wrong haha).
I went to a store tourney at warhammer world. I wrote a list for one of my friends who also plays Tau. I managed to get his two Riptides in his 600pt list.
My teams list was a bit more sensible. We didn't take any Riptides but in the end our idea didn't work out well anyway as we didn't get the aegis line ready in place.

I could laugh at these stories all day... thanks for posting them. Unfortunately a few of those players may be on the forum. ( I'm sorry.... I'm snickering away to myself ). We just have to smile and move on. It's a story that will repeat itself down through the ages. P.S. I'm 40+ but I don't remember playing any of you.

No, he wasn't that extreme. He has never touched anyone else's figures, just his own. He has gotten to the point of flipping dice and moving infantry 8" before people wouldn't play him and he started working on his attitude.

We briefly had a guy in our HackMaster RPG that would say "Shooka-Shooka" every time he rolled the dice. Every. Time. He would also ask "How many Eeeps did I get today?" meaning experience points. As a player, he would buy the module that the GM was running us through and read ahead. We called him out on it when he started arguing about "That's not what the book says to do". Also, he would lie about dice rolls, which is the worst offense a player can make. We kicked him out of our group and became much more selective about who we let in. Nothing smaller than a C-Cup was a rule for a while, but sadly, no one would reply to those personal ads in craigslist...

GM rule 101: When a player cheats, cheat better.
I had a player who cheated on rolls with his ranger, strangely that night 4 orc barbarians snuck up on him that night and slaughtered him, strangely his rolls are honest now
