Being from the midwest, most rage moments I've seen have been relatively mild, I'm curious to know what amazing displays of shame you've seen in your own hobby lifetimes?

My modest offering:

One day, I was at my LGS's hobby night, just painting up some stormcast models for age of sigmar. In the back room the owner has several tables set up for wargaming and people set up random pick up games throughout the day.

During this particular day, while we were at the hobby table working, we heard this grand commotion from the room. Someone was saying over and over "that rule is WRONG, that army is GARBAGE, it is NOT FAIR!!" coupled with the sounds of models being abruptly thrown into their containers. From out of the room stomps a man in his late 40s, absolutely furious and shaking. Again he makes a loud declaration that the army he played against wasn't fair and he would NOT be playing again until it was FAQ'ed into nerfdom. Then he vacated the store, still hasn't been seen 3 months later...

We came to find out that the anger was over an AOS battle between his Chaos army (and his brand new Archeaon model) and a Death army. Apparently the Death player had some extremely lucky summoning rolls and managed to kill his Archeaon. As soon as Archeaon went down, this dude's anger went through the roof....the sad thing was, he probably could have easily still won against the death player, as the death player had to waste alot of units trying to take his big baddy down.

Now, your turn. Let us hear the best examples of how NOT to act at a LGS or while gaming in general.

More of a jaw dropping happening at a game convention. not a rage quit..

It happened years ago.. After playing a game with a great group of guys we met at a local game convention;
One of them had bought a circus maximus at the used gaming auction and offered for us to play it..
We all crowded around a random table and a few other passerby got interested in the game and joined us..
Then one of the convention administrators came up and told us the table that we were using was
assigned to another game the next round. But if we moved to another location and offered it to
anyone to play they would give the table a "winner prize".

We had no problem with it and they were very nice about the issue.. but we found out we were being
moved to the far end of the convention were all the "live action role play" was..

This was when Vampire the masquerade was a major thing.. And they had thirty something plus players
all dressed in black; goth to the max. We started up our game again at a table near by and had about eight
players all having a blast.

While waiting for your turns, you would watch the LARPers act crazy; yelling and screaming with a whole lot of over-acting..
With Larping you have to find a way to resolve an issue without dice.. Most of the time it just a simple game
of Paper, Rock, scissors. But that group had decided to use something more physical. Any time there was
combat, the two members would compete in a game of "chicken". This is an old school yard game where the two
players,each hold up one of their legs, then hop around, without using their arms, just bumping into the other player
trying to knock them down.. Last man standing had won...Seemed to work okay.. and it was funny to watch grown adults
dressed in Black Faux Leather bouncing around in a crazy manner.

Then one gigantic guy went into combat..the little guy he was against just simply dodged out of his way.. the
large guy lost his balance and went barreling across the room taking out tables and chairs with a very loud crash..
Everything went quiet..
A crowd formed and we went back to playing our board game..

THEN... the paramedics showed up...Apparently the guy was hurt pretty bad and hauled him out on a stretcher..
Of course that ended the game for them; but it was a crazy thing to watch happen.. almost as bad as watching a
car accident.

Ah, good old LARPing. Because rolling dice isn't dorky enough.

I saw a guy get frustrated at watching his skaven get picked of in Mordheim by some lucky bowmen and begin yelling at his figures and gripping them so hard it looked like he was trying to crush them. Then he started spiking them into the floor and stomping them. It culminated with him hurling one across the store, striking the main window. Fortunately, it hit a metal frame piece.

Sad thing was the guy was a perfectly nice guy. Just took the game way too seriously! Oddly, skaven in Mordheim are frustratingly good and can hide until in slingcharge/death range.....

I think there are still (metal) dwarven spearmen sticking out of the wall at our old gaming club from one outburst.

At an old LGS, worst I think I ever saw was a tableful of 40K get overturned (2000+ points of Necrons vs. Chaos), followed by a knock-down fistfight over the damaged miniatures.

There was a guy at an old FLGS that cheated horribly on D&D gaming night (lied about to hit number, made a hallway that was supposed to be three squares twelve squares and every square trapped) just flip out when called on it and started yelling at everyone, including the event organizer and the owner of the store. He got banned from the store, which apparently was somewhat common for him I found out. I'm surprised he didn't attack people physically but I believe he wanted but did not, being so outnumbered.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Gotta say, that sounds like it was pretty much an RPG nerd's dream.

My experiences with RPing with strangers involved a lot less of that and a lot more unusual odors, social awkwardness, and obsessive stat keeping. Oh, and lots of dudes. I was genuinely depressed how everytime a female showed up it attracted either super skeezy behavior or odd amounts of aggression and patronizing behavior. Fortunately, it was usually pretty easy to shame people into acting like normal(ish) human beings. It did cause me to only bring females around with groups I knew, which worked out much better. Likewise, I pretty much gave up on the whole gaming with strangers; even though there were a good number of decent folks, the noise ratio was just too high.

Sometimes a female would play on game night. It was kind of sad to see some of the reactions. Outside that though most of them were pretty cool and got into the game.

100% true, I assure you. Afterwards, she was seen accosting any stranger in the pub and essentially pulling the same moves for more drink

Something like that, back in 6th or early 7th edition can't really tell.

A guy throwing their minis to the floor in frustration after a bad dice game. Then he proceeded to smash his Empire bsb with his fist as it was probably deemed the main culprit.

Problem is the bsb had, you know, a flag in a pole which ended in a spear point. Probably the flag prevented the spear from going all the way through the hand but he still required several stitches.

After that the guy kept playing exclusively 40K. Tried to get back to fantasy by late 8th but didn't find it easy to get games (by that point his antics were well known) and AFAIK he ran out of 40K games as well. He's playing MTG now, which you can presumably just burn down or rip to shreds without injuring yourself.

One time in a game of late 8th ed WHFB, a guy had his bone giant get smashed in the face by another giant. So he picked the thing up and whipped it into his tool box, breaking it pretty well, did the same to his other skelemen after his prince got killed and his army crumbled away.

One time, while I was trying to teach a guy Warmachine, I used a spell called landslide and was accused of cheating him since I used it to push a unit out of the way so I could rush and crush his warcaster in the third round, and he knocked over my mins and stormed off.

Shadowrun is the best game ever. It's the only thing I have ever played in which I have jumped out of a shot out van with a chainsaw to cut a flying drone in half before leveling a building with ANFO assisted by a troll, a dwarf, an elf, and a wizard.

Warmachine Mk.2 tournament game. My opponent and I had a disagreement about how Rapid Strikes interacted with Combined Melee Attack, I double-checked some of the math while the judge was on his way over and said "never mind, we'll do it your way, it doesn't actually matter that much."

Or at least I thought I did, because my opponent gave me a five-minute speech about what a WAAC a**hole I was while packing his army up and walking out. It's not a particularly loud/dramatic ragequit moment, but it's certainly one that's strange and incomprehensible enough to have stuck in my memory.

I've been rather lucky, and never really encountered anything to over the top.

The worst was a friend of mine who'd used to get angry at his models, pick them up and throw them. One day, he accidentaly picked up one of mine and chucked it across the room. It landed behind a vending machine, and there was no getting it back.

I just looked at him for a second, trying to figure out what to say, when he looked down at the table and realized where he'd grabbed the model from. He instantly left, and ran to his room (we were in the single sailor barracks), and came back 10 minutes later, with a new plasma marine that he'd just built for me to replace the one he'd lost.

I let it go at that, and he seemed to have learned, cause I never saw him throw a model again.

In ur gaem, killin ur doodz.

While I don't have any salty/rage quit.

My gaming group attended the 2005 Seattle GT as a team/club, A few of us had delusions of grandeur and thought we could win the whole thing.

One guy who was playing a Skaven Shooty Army of Doom. With 2150 points of the shootiest, most warpstone heavy army you've ever seen. he was 4-0 going into the big money rounds, and we're checking the matchups, and he see's he's going against a 2-2 player. He can't figure out why 2 other of his other 4-0 teammates are against other 4-0 players in the tourney.

I'm 2 tables from him, and the game is salty and snappy as hell. He';s dominating this 2-2 player into the dirt. Finally, the player calls over the tournament director and asks if he can play another player on turn 2 of the game. Saying that it's no fun, and he's just there to have a good time etc etc.

The tournament director says he can't, and stands back and watches the rest of the game.

Going into game 6, he's 5-0 and this is the last round of the tournament. Again, the only guy who's 5-0 is against someone else who is 5-0, and he's playing against a 3-2 player. He's pissed.

Midway through the game, his opponent starts accusing him of cheating. The game is called right there. As a retribution he grabs the "opponent card" and fills it out as a zero for the guy who was accusing him of cheating.

turns out, playing against him was so miserable all of his opponents scored him minimum points for "fun" in the after game report cards... Which is why he wasn't in the top tables in the final roudns of the game.

Dude almost got kicked out of the club over it.

Warhammer Fantasy Battle.

7th ed High Elves vs 6th ed Beasts of Chaos.

Beasts of Chaos were an unarmoured army of skittish farm yard animals that relied on getting a charge to strike first and do damage. They had no ranged capability and terrible leadership.

High elves had army wide always strikes first, letting them attack before the enemy, even against chargers. To defeat them you needed good range, good armour or good leadership.

Edit: See the mismatch here? /ed

Somehow, the elves managed to get their dragon / general too far forward and isolated, allowing it to be eventually ground down by a sea of hooves.

The elven cavalry made a foolish charge, that resulted in most of their unit being unable to fight and so were destroyed by a group of nurgle minotaurs.

Having lost over half his army (in terms of points), the high elf player rage quit (and in my knowledge never played a tabletop wargame again)...


The really sad part was that he likely would have wiped the remaining Beasts of Chaos off the table with is surviving forces if he hadn't quit.

Ooh....

I have a few, though I will not bore you with all of them

during a game of 3rd edition DnD one of the players was denied a roll as the DM was trying to spread different skillsets and qualities throughout the party (each member had their role and associated skills and the like). Unfortunately he did not like being denied this and for some reason linked some bad rolls earlier in the game with the DM denying him this. He ended up accusing the DM of nerfing his character, tearing up his sheet and storming out in a temper. The game has not run since.

40K. Most of you have heard of Timmy, but here are some choice ones of his:
-Timmy was playing against my Guard and got hammered by tanks. He grew really silent and the tension rose quite heavily around the table and in the end he packed up and walked out after the game. Later on he messaged me via social media to tell me just how overpowered my army was and how the Russ was the most broken tank in the game and how I should only be allowed one at the most and quite frankly it was incredible un-fluffy to see that many Russ's on the table as "You army is about the men fighting in the Imperial Guard, not about tanks".

-Timmy first encountered a Macro Cannon and was horrified when he tried to run his troops across the open board towards it and got wiped. He then spent several weeks screaming over social media about how broken and overpowered it was, ignoring the fact that it cost more than a quarter of the armies points, was entirely static and devoted to being a bunker. It never once occured to him that running towards it was a bad idea

-Timmy entered a 30K campaign at the club. The gentleman running it had spent months preparing everything and had made these amazing rules for planetary control, a interactive map board, etc. Timmy's first game was against someone we shall call 'Imperator', a international tournament champion and someone known to be scarily good at 40K and 30K. Imperator was running his Custodes army and needless to say Timmy was wiped. Hell, Timmy managed to kill one model and lost everything in return. No surprise, Imperator is scary good.
Timmy went home and sent in a salty message claiming that he was quitting the campaign for "reasons". Needless to say quite a few people where pissed as there had been a lot of competition for the slots and the GM had put a lot of work in to it. Timmy came back a few days later saying he wanted to rejoin. He was denied, and this caused him to sulk off again.

-A final Timmy one. A four player Zone Mortalis game did not go Timmy's way. The Viking-Pirate (30K Wolves), another we shall call 'Inkerman' (30K Iron Warriors) Timmy (30K Emperors Children) and myself (Imperial Guard with Death Watch allies - something I learned I shouldnt have had during the game. No one cared though.) where the players. I castled up whilst Timmy advanced in my direction, but the fighting really opened up between Inkerman and the Viking-Pirate and quickly spread to Timmy's quarter. My own outflankers came in from this angle as well and Timmy found his quarter devolving into bloody close quarters fighting. He got wiped.
Naturally he claimed that everyone else had ganged up on him, and that it was out bullying that caused him to lose (he ignored my IG units being wiped by the Viking-Pirates outflanker and Inkermans terminators, or the fighting that broke out between these two) and spent a couple of days ranting about it.

I have had the personal pleasure of making one of our local powergamers flustered a few times, although he has never rage quit he did twice change his warband in Mordhiem - once when my Vampire Counts flattened his Shadow Warriors and another time when my Mercenaries wiped out his ogres.

That said, baring Timmy, my club does not have any real ragequiters. We are generally quite good about things, mild mannered and polite. Certainly we have none of these nightmare tales I keep hearing from other people, these table flippers and the like.

Oooh Mordheim!

So same guy as the previous post.

He took dwarfs with a wizard. Cheese. Worst part was he used an elf model for the wizard. Gods, how I hated that nuke in a robe!

Anyway, he'd basically set the terrain to his benefit and castle up with good fire arcs. If anything got too close he could tank it with his slayer and leader.

It was pretty effective in fairness to him.

One day we played on a board with a busy centre, giving me a way to approach without taking too much fire.

After his sustained successes he either got confident or soft.

He split his forces up into his corners.

I proceeded up the centre of the board, he didn't know where I would go from there. Would I split? Would I keep my forces together and take on each half of his warband one at a time?

No.

I had just received a new spell on my warband leader, one that allowed me to take temporary control of a single enemy model. With a good deal of luck I managed to land this spell on his elven wizard.

With horror he got to see the devestation his wizard could wreak I used it to kill his retinue of warband members, while my warband went in their entirety to the other corner and stomp the second half of his warband into the dirt.

The injury rolls were devastating; he lost his leader and a hero to death. A couple more were robbed. Many other serious losses were taken. Even I felt bad for him.

With that he quit his beardy warband, and the campaign was largely over for that season.

I'll have to see if he is back in the country this year over the Christmas holidays .

RPG?

My own behaviour during a game of Daemon The Fallen. In short, Story Teller was trying to get into the pants of another player.

Basically I spent the entire campaign being force-failured at stuff, so he could let her get the glory. And his wingman got similar benefits.

First example was The Sword. It was the MacGuffin we needed to realistically deal with The Big Bad. My character located it, and tried to wield it. It was all tied to rank, willpower and that. I had maxed out Willpower, and other abilities which should've helped. Ten turns pass, and I still can't wield the sword. She walks up, and full on Tom Bombadil's it. Nothing in the lore I'd dug up in character suggested it needed a specific wielder. Everything I did should've worked, according to the lore. Waste of my time.

Toward the end, the wingman screws us all over. Being a combat competent character, I decide to give him a pasting. Only to find out he'd suddenly doubled in stats, and was immune to everything I could throw at him.

I walked. The whole campaign I'd been treated as a meatshield to keep those characters safe, even when I kept out of the way during fights.

Wasn't terribly mature, and could've handled it better. Still feel I wasn't entirely unjustified

TTG?

Mordheim. Last games of the campaign. I was in second place, went up against first place. My Reiklanders against his Witch Hunters. Long story short I slaughtered him to a man, and he didn't even get any hits in, let alone Wounds.

Dude starts bellowing and snapping at kids, demanding they hand over their rulebook immediately so he could do his post battle sequence. I wrapped mine up quickly, and leant him my book.

Yeah. Anyone that didn't die in the field (like, 'rolled a 1 ded') either wound up captured by me, or sold to the Pits. He could've attempted a rescue I suppose, but he literally had no-one to attempt it with.

Never seen a grown man act so childishly.

Two epic rage quits from the same dude,

Plying at my house back during 4th my black templars and facing off against my friends orks, we're each using using my dining table so it's a bit cramped. I go first and my opening is to roll my LRC forward and take a pot shot at one of his killer kans, I get super lucky the shot rends and the kan explodes. The dice gods continue to piss all over him as he losses two trucks worth of boys and one of the trucks also explodes costing him about 1/3rd his army from a single shot. He gets really quiet for a couple of seconds while a vein in his forehead starts to throb and he starts turning a rather deep shade of red. Knowing that he's about to flip out I try to diffuse the situation and I'm like "Woah dude that's like the worst luck ever let's just start over..." but it's too late and much like his killa kan he explodes, he bends down and just sweeps his arm across his whole force knocking his entire army off the table edge and then goes stomping out my front door and begins screaming a long list of obscenities on my front lawn. He comes back in about 15 min later and gathers up his stuff and leaves without saying another word. While we still stayed friends this was the last 40k game I ever offered to play with him.

About a year later we were over at his house playing D&D and the session ended really early so he asked my brother to play a game against him which he agreed to (although I advised him against it) I played video games with his roommate while they faced off with Imperial Guard and Orks. 2 turns in my friend is totally tabling my brothers force which is down a single infantry unit while the Orks are still around 90% of the starting strength, my brother is having no luck all game and just wants it over so he suicide charges the Warboss which has my friend just licking his lips in anticipation of slaughtering the unit. The dice gods decide to piss all over him and the Warboss between misses and failed to wound rolls doesn't sink a single hit. Despite the fact he's clearly in position to win the rest of the game he's so enraged by his Warboss's failure he goes into slow motion melt down. This time rather than sweeping the table he grabs his hard cover rules book and begins smashing his metal Warboss into the dining room table with it. He's shrieking like a banshee and pounding away until it's torn completely through the back cover and indented the warboss about a 1/4 inch into the table itself. Now my brother has also added him to the never play against list.

You always have great stories in threads like this Paulson games!

I've always tried to rush through games against people that stretch the rules, or otherwise make it an unpleasant experience, although have had one instances that springs to mind.

Playing Bloodbowl against Halflings, a treeman went to block one of my linemen. It was a three dice block, and he opened with the comment "what size coffin would you like?" Triple skull - ouch! So he re-rolls, gets a triple skull again(!). Down goes the treeman. This was an older version when you rolled for injury straight off, and I rolled a double six (dead). He rolled for the apothecary, which then came up 1 '1' (pass was a 2+. I really wanted to say "a treeman sized coffin?", but perhaps wouldn't have been the best thing to do, there was a moment of calm. The treeman was picked up and thrown onto the floor in a wonderful temper tantrum, the rest of the team was thrown into a box and that was the end of the game. I did kind of sympathise, but as a Halfling player surely he should have been used to players being killed?!

I have a feeling she heard role playing and thought something else entirely....


Yeah, she offered a couple of us some of that too. Inc multiplayer.


Gotta say, that sounds like it was pretty much an RPG nerd's dream.



100% true, I assure you. Afterwards, she was seen accosting any stranger in the pub and essentially pulling the same moves for more drink

Edit - ha, just checked and still got the pic of when she leapt onto the GMs lap


Sounds dreadful. Then again, my girlfriend has lots of fun teasing me about being a bit of a wuss with intimacy, so maybe I'm the odd one out...

Still, you can see boobs any time - gaming night only comes around once in a blue moon for me!

Some 17-18 years ago back when the Highlander CCG was around I had one of my own rage quits, not very proud of it as I let my temper go way overboard.

I was working at the Chicago Wizard World & Comic Con running demos and a couple events for WOTC/AEG I'd scheduled Saturday to be a half day so that I could play in the Highlander tournament. I ended up winning but some shenanigans came up between the TO and the guy who took second who was also part of their company demo program, that resulted in me being shorted the prize support for the event which was a set of promos cards that easily would have resold for 1k +.

Not being one to avoid confrontation I went to the Thundercastle games booth and had some rather heated words with the company owner and their TO who was trying to hide at the back of the booth, because of all the commotion a huge crowd had stopped and gathered watching the exchange and things almost came to blows before I decided that I was completely done with the game. After dropping a final and very loud feth you!!! I turned to leave, but paused deciding that it wasn't quite enough so I opened up my 800 count box of highlander cards and threw it behind me, up and over my shoulder figuring it'd rain cards down on the booth.

What I didn't realize was that as the cards sailed through the air everything would stay clumped together in the box like a solid 10lb brick and proceed to hit the owner square in the face breaking his nose. Already very heated from the exchange and ignoring the continued shouting I just kept walking without even looking back and headed home. The best part about all this was all of this went down while I had my WOTC vendor shirt and badge on during this whole exchange which was particularly embarrassing given that WOTC was the parent company organizing the entire convention.

I get home to find a flurry of pissed off voicemails from my boss, not realizing that I'd broken his nose I had no idea what she was even talking about yet and had just finished the first message when the cops rang the doorbell. I get cuffed and dragged back up to Rosemont which is a good 30-40 min drive away and sat in the police station for several hours until video could be reviewed and we got things sorted out. While he clearly wasn't happy with the situation he owner of Thundercastle decided not to press charges, apparently my boss was friends with him and had done a lot to try and smooth things over.

With some serious apologizing to both her and Thundercastle I managed not to get fired but I was in serious hot water with her for a few months and thankfully didn't end up having charges filed. Certainly not one of my better moments.
