Not so much a rage quit as a "Screw you guys!" thing.

Playing DDO (Dungeons and Dragons online) as a cleric, I got in a pick up group with a very bossy group leader. I needed the EP, so I just went with it. He kept bitching about my healing, though. I admit I wasn't the best in the world, but I do keep people healed up as best I can. If you run off, my motto is "I don't heal stupid". Anyway, I'd had enough of the guy, so right at the end of the quest when we fight the big bad guy, I dropped group. I'll never know if he finished the quest, but I did add him to my ignore list and "do not run with" list.

Good times.

I've seen many people sling dice when they "roll bad". Thrown across the store, into the mall, into the street, just about anywhere they can to feel better.

I had someone rage quit on me while playing Fantasy because I had my unit flee rather than get butchered by a Bloodthirster on the account that I was pulling the fun out of the game.

You'd need to rolling drunk and stoned to enjoy that game...

Apparently the reason Monopoly is so bad/rage inducing is simply because everyone plays the rules wrong! (or so /r/boardgames keeps telling me).

Not because it's a terrible, cut-throat game of evil.

No, it's more cut throat if you play it by the rules as written. House rules usually make it a gentler, if massively longer game.

I think the main reason why monopoly is so bad is because you know by the end of the second or third lap that you are going to lose, yet you have to sit there for another dozen or more laps and die the death of a thousand cuts. Then you flip fate the finger by making sweet deals with the enemy of your enemy until no one is enjoying anything. Add in the 10%-to-the-bank crap for every single hiccup in your game, and you have an experience akin to paying taxes through your health insurance provider. It's a wonder so few people are murdered over the game.

This is awesome. Love it. As an ex-DPS MMO player myself (i usually go for the glass cannons, so rogues), clerics, even not so great ones, were my BFF's.

There is a reason why you are always nice to the healers in MMO's, and only g-kick them when you have a replacement lined up and ready to go.

Yeah the dice seem to be the most common thing to have the rage taken out on. Bad enough form as it is just throwing them in the first place, but if its someone else's dice, well that's just uncalled for.

The one I keep waiting to hear about is a table flipping incident. Like, full on RAGE and someone just flips the table over, models and all.

I'm sure this has happened somewhere...

That is by far the most apt description I've ever seen of the ()(*&( of a game

Not so much of a rage story but ... it is rather funny now that it is in the past.

I went to the local store to play a game of regular 40k and got roped into playing an Apoc game. Told the owner that I did not have the right models but I could put a list together and proxy stuff if that was alright. He said it was and I went into devious mode. At this time the BA could take the Lucius Drop Pods. So I took a ton of Death Company and 2 DC Blender Dreads.
The rules at the time said that you could not disembark one thing and embark onto something else. He was arguing that he could and we had a drawn out argument about it. My teammate was just kinda being quite the whole time. Bottom of turn 1 and it is my turn now. My DC Dread drops in and he flips a lid that it landed on his Bolter Bitches after it scattered and I reduced the scatter as per DP rules. Got that straightened out and he made a comment that 'At least it can not assault me this turn." I tell him that it is in a Lucius DP and it can assault this turn.

He rages about how you have to have the actual FW Model to use the rules and some various other stuff ... I explained to him that my ENTIRE army was proxy for this Apoc game. I had had enough and was not going to take anymore and told him I was done. Still, my teammate was being rather quite. Then the owner made a mistake and suggested that I quit acting like a bitch.

I do not know what my expression was but I can tell you this, I had a complete sense of calm when I told him to say that again and the table between us would not be able to stop me. I calmly put my little toy soldiers away and proceeded to leave ...

Good story. If this happened in an online kind of environment, I'd say the manager was being a troll, but in this case, I think it was HIM who was just being a bitch lol.

Well, i have never really encountered any such ragequits-my group is composed of gentlemen
However, i have ragequit from a Mechwarrior Online match.... Several infact.

And Monopoly.... Yeah that game is awful. My little brother loves it mainly due to his uncanny luck with it. But i have reached suicide levels of deppression from that game....

And this ladies and gentleman is why you don't allow proxies in an apoc game. His fault of course for allowing them, but allowing someone to play apoc -where it's already hard to keep track of what's what- with an entire proxie army is not a good idea and flies in the face of the intention of an Apoc game.

As I said before, the course of the game is the owner's fault and he shouldn't have used bad language, but it looks like YOU are the one who escalated from bad language to threats of violence. You lose the moral high ground when you raise the level of the confrontation.

Love being a healer, everyone needs one . I've recently jumped back into FF14:ARR, and they added instance roulette, and at the end of it, you can give a Player Commendation to someone in the group. As a healer, I almost always get one. Helped a bunch of new level 50s through the final storyline instance and got like 4

Moral high ground .... Thing about it is simply this, when I am pushed, I shove. Do I think that I am better than other people? Nope. Will I allow someone to denigrate me? Nope. Talk is talk, until it is not talk anymore. Did I threaten him with violence? I do not think that I did, I was warning him that the time for talking was almost over, and that the time for backing up his ego was about to begin. This is the only thing that people like that understand. With me there is no level of confrontation unless you bring it with you.

The way I have lived my entire life is like this: If you do not understand or are not willing to comprehend what it is that I am trying to convey to you by the words I speak, then raising my voice is not going to make you understand or grasp what it is that I am trying to explain. Literally witnessed it hundreds of times while I was in Japan. Americans trying to tell a local what they need to do and then raising their voice when the Japanese fella just looks at him.

The worst I've ever heard of (I think it was on here) was of a guy trying to stab someone using a pair of plastic cutters, after he lost a game.

Justify it however you want. Maybe he deserved it and maybe he didn't, but the fact is someone insulted you and you had the choice to tell them "I'm done" and walk away, or you could threaten them physically, or act out physically. Kudos for not choosing the last one, but you still took choice # 2 in saying:

the table between us would not be able to stop me

This was not a push for a shove, it was a threat for an insult. That's called escalation.

I also fail to see how American's not getting their way by raising their voice to Japanese people is somehow a justification for this kind of behavior. People (even bonafide JERKS like this LGS owner) don't owe you their understanding or comprehension. That's why unless you're in physical danger the wise road (and most legally defensible) is to not escalate and walk away.

Yeah, it was on one of those bad store stories about a year ago

Never rage at your opponent, especially if they are young.

If the kid is annoying, and his mother is close to my age, single, and hot, I just turn on the charm, take her out on a date, and then eventually become his stepdad.

Then, take away his toys.

The best revenge is that dealt cold, through years of work, and sleeping with their mother.

You are aware that by insulting someone you are verbally assaulting them. I justify it by the simple fact that some people feel it is almost a duty or obligation to try and demean other people so that they themselves can feel better about themselves. Assault is assault, in any way, shape or form. Does verbal assault grab headlines like physical assault does? Nope, but that does not make it any less real. You can try and justify that however you want.

Violence is not always the answer, I will grant that, but there is one simple fact that even you have to agree to, it forces comprehension and understanding. Comprehension in the fact that you can only verbally assault someone for so long, then understanding by the fact that there is punishment for said transgression.

I have seen enough violence in my life to fill 10 lifetimes and committed enough violence on other humans that it sickens me to recall some of the things that I am responsible for. I did these various different things in the name of my government while I was enlisted, but that does not relieve me of the burden that I will carry for the rest of my life ... knowing what I am capable of.

I guess DCMs are immune to this punishment? Because I'd hate to get baned! I remember what he did to The Batman... ruined my childhood, that did...



In other news, I admit that I am quite the dicer rager, though I have gotten several levels milder that I used to be. Now I simply walk to the store trash can and throw them away to soothe my frustration. Probably the most graphic display of hate-crimes on dice at my hand came from one night against one of my best friends but confessed nemesis (because everyone has someone you just cant win against). I was playing old CSMs against his SW using the new rules. After getting a 5 man unit of terminators and khorne lord with a pair of lightning claws named Frederick Von Kreugerstein into combat with a 5 man unit of grey hunters, I killed one and he ghosted my lord and two terminators due to his very successful rolls and my terri-bad rolls on armor saves. I proceed to collect my dice bag, containing about 200+ dice and step outside launching them about 50 yards into the adjacent parking lot. After a satisfying splash of the dice skittering across the lot, i went inside to replace my dice with a single block of plain looking GW dice. I think we tied that game, but it just goes to show ya that your dice only roll as good as your attitude.

"Baned" came about on Dakka because of a user who is now baned himself accused the mods of being facist overlords, and humorously misspelled the word banned. It was quite the good laugh when it happened, spurred several dakka memes. As to the actual punishment of being banned, DCMs are no more immune to it than the regular user. DCMs as a collective tend to be more understanding to the site's rules because we donate money to help keeping it up and running.

I have two similar dice related stories.

I was playing 40k with someone during an Apoc game. His Nazi and SS themed IG army (complete with appropriately themed Flames of War dice) was getting hammered, he couldn't make a cover save and couldn't wound a thing. He gets angry and chucks a die out the door. We see it fly up into the air and hit a power line (would have gone into the street otherwise). We run out to see where it lands, and I jokingly told him, "If this is a 5 or a 6, I'll count the cover save." We found it a minute or two later and it was a 6...

I have not experienced the full account of this story, but one of the Flames of War players at my FLGS had bought a new set of dice on 2 occasions. The first occasion, they rolled so badly he went and flushed them down the toilet. The second occasion he took them home, and did a home episode of "Will it Blend?" blended up his dice and put them into a mason jar. Whenever he gets a new set of dice, he shakes this jar over his new dice so they will know there fate. He has pulled it out during a game when he was starting to have poor luck...

Haha that's an awesome story! Yeah threatening the new dice with the remains of the old ones, that will definitely scare them into performing!

I appreciate the thoughtfulness you have obviously applied to your life experience. I just think you've come to the wrong conclusion.

I'm aware that insulting can (sometimes) become verbal assault. People who seem to feel a duty be demeaning (I think I despise this type of person as much as you do) do not justify people (yourself apparently) who believe that is their right or duty to "force comprehension and understanding" via threats of force or to be the arbitrator deciding what is the "punishment for said transgression".

I fully support self defense when violence is imminent or threatened. However, escalation via threats is not self defense and the duty of applying (or threatening) punishment is not the job of the non-deputized/enlisted/commissioned citizen.

Further, as someone who is trained in violence and fully aware of what you are "capable of", it is even more inappropriate (and more legally transgressive) to threaten violence.

Did you actually stand by that cover save?
And thanks for the tip-my dice have been very bad recently

I was hoping for this thread!
I was at the FLGS today playing a 2650 game with my brother, and behind us were some war machine players.

Long story Short, this big dude was losing miserably and began yelling at this frail kid, whom proceeded to back into the wall and tremble, concede the game and pack up and dip.

I have never in my life been so ashamed to be a gamer. This older guy was so upset he was losing a game which was very friendly at the start, ended so poorly.

wow, what a complete arse. This is why we gamers have such a terribad reputation.
