One thing I hate more..

[doomreaper9]

The one thing I hate more than anything is when a player gets a few wins under their belt and thinks himself is a bad a**. I love it when I turn their ego's into bio-mass.

[Kyokii]

I love that. Because when you play and beat them the joy slowly drains from their face over the course of the game.

[doomreaper9]

I like it when it happens by the end of turn two. When they realize oh God im going to get tabled.

[swarm492]

Know what I love even more, when they stop playing you. When I first started playing this game I only knew one person that played, and they beat me every game we played the first year. Looking back at it I now know he was a cheating ass but at the time I barely knew the rules and took his word, you should be able to trust your opponent. At any rate we played games for most of 3rd until I stopped playing him because well I figured out he was a cheating prick. We don't play a game again until 5th edd, and normally I just try and have fun..but this time. This time I was out for blood, Fun wasn't enough, winning by objectives meaningless, all must die. I showed 0 mercy, went out of my way to make the hardest lists I could and tabled him our first three games, we haven't played since. And the funniest bit, nobody in our local meta plays him anymore either, cause hes a cheating prick.

Ahh the Nerds and Geeks who think they are Jocks with plastic toy soldiers. I feel pity for them.

[beefythepug]

hah you guys crack me up. I don't like to make anyone stop playing, but Nids seem capable of doing that to people if you beat them too soundly.

I don't have any cheating @#$#$s in my usual group, but I would better describe them as adults who play 40k as if they were 6 year olds. In other words, strategy shouldn't matter, rules shouldn't matter, they brought their plastic toys out and should auto win. Figure most would say to just walk away... but one's a long time friend of 20+ years, the other my brother. Were they people I met at Local store I wouldn't play them again. I think I just enjoy reading the rules/forum and finding new ways to approach the game, and being more in to the hobby/knowing the rules seems to be half the battle when you get to putting the models on the table top.

[gigasnail]

One of my regulars, he plays his brother in law often and has the same issue. FAMILY, lol.

[mattblowers]

Recently heard "That can't be right. Double check the rules!"

Me, "Why?"

"Cuz I spent a ton of time building this list and it's awesome, there's no way you just wiped me out!", him.

This to 48 e-grubs shots (2 flyrants, 2 dakkafexes). He had spent a ton on unit upgrades. Doesn't improve a 3+ and I don't care about invuls, 3+ is no different than 3++ when you have AP-.

"I can't believe it! That's not supposed to happen!"

As for being tabled, it happens to all of us, there's no shame in it.

[macdaddyt]

I have a "friend" that always starts out bragging aboyt his new list and what's going to demolish me. Against him I'm 8 for 2 and that's nidz verses tau. Last loss was because he told me "play a fun fluffy list! I'll bring one" shows up with double crisis plasma suits, Misslesides with buffmander and riptide I brought a CC tyrant a Hauruspex blah blah. Let's just say by turn 3 I had lost every model in my army and he talked about how our lists were well balanced and tried to correct my strategy...haha

People will ruin the game for you of you let them. After getting tired of that guy I just started playing random dudes at my LGS and its an awesome experience even if I get my teeth kicked in a learn and have fun

40k is just a natural draw for odd balls. Really do wonder how some people end up with families.

It never ceases to amaze how socially awkward a large % of mini-wargamers are. And for heavens sake, take a shower during the weekend long tournaments and deodorant isn't a bad idea either. /rant

[eskimo]

Haha, the shower dodgers.

Though they don't tend to bother me too much, it's more the socially inept ones. But they do come hand in hand.

[doomreaper9]

Some tread I made. Wow I like this.

[Kyokii]

Oh, god there's this one guy at my flgs (which has reopened as of Sunday, hurray) who is pretty new and not actually learning the rules.
We try to get him to learn, we really do. I've walked him through phases on more than one occasion and tried explaining stuff to him in a way that he can understand but it just goes in one ear and out the other.
I'm sorry, but one sniper will not kill a wraithknight easily. No matter how confident you are in that one remaining scout.
And he's playing salamanders. A renegade portion of the salamanders that work together with a couple of tau renegades to fight back against the imperium and the greater good. I know we should be all fine with whatever fluff but his is something bad fanfiction and he really likes to let people know it. I'm all for forging the narrative- but, sheesh it's hard to listen to him and not cringe about most things.
He's improved gameplaywise, but not by much.

tl'dr I hate it when you have a player that's new, isn't making an actual effort to learn the rules, and is still over the top confident.
