I was four seconds from punching him in the face. We have a mr. obvious kind of guy in our store too. He'll say random super obnoxious shit like "Oh it looks like you have a bunch of terminators, terminators are different from regular guys because they have a better armor save!"<br /><br />This guy was the same. I wanted to choke him out.Chris Vintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02366710490951729022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-67622539792589162272011-12-15T05:10:21.915-05:002011-12-15T05:10:21.915-05:00Took my kids to a tourney the other week, their fi...Took my kids to a tourney the other week, their first ever. Right away this punk starts telling them how his Raven Wing army could drive up and wipe out half of their BA armies right off the bat, trying to impress/intimidate them, even though he was not playing that day because 'my dad left with my army in the trunk'. <br /><br />A younger guy but old enough to show some manners, if he had any. I kept civil though I did tell him he wrong about a lot of what he was boasting about. He lurked around half the day, and I kept an eye on him when he would loom around my army box. Irritating, to say the least, and a doure experience for the kids trying to have fun playing warhammer.40K + T&Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058918571922538449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-91605011082722022612009-10-28T07:33:28.100-04:002009-10-28T07:33:28.100-04:00Or just wait it out..

I find the best way to do it is to cultivate a good group of players and play often with them and with new guys, encouraging good sportsmanship, but not being a nazi about. You will find that we have a healthy dialog of friendly shit talking at the table, but far from some of the things that I have written about. I think the best and most pro-active way to combat it is to take some of the things we blog about and bring them into the store. I may start hosting DFG conversion clinincs in the store I go to. Maybe those kind of things will encourage the wayward kids to change their ways and adopt a sincere attitude toward our hobby.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-71845528463895516112009-10-27T09:15:12.878-04:002009-10-27T09:15:12.878-04:00Hey, ya' gotta vent sometime.

But just like with any type of gaming, eventually those full-of-douche-baggary get on your nerves. Just do us all a favor and don't end up in court for breaking someone's face. =)L Witha Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089402505678172242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-81139362487944300342009-10-27T07:22:49.060-04:002009-10-27T07:22:49.060-04:00Thanks for the feedback guys.

I know there is little that will ever change the fact they are there, but sometimes it feels good to let it all out.TJ Atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01304177224607153451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-39471473766835906252009-10-27T07:22:43.667-04:002009-10-27T07:22:43.667-04:00Okay, so..

Let's say my "signature move" when I win is to jump on the game table spraying champagne all over my opponents models whilst doing the chicken and screaming profanities at the top of my lungs, destroying countless models in the process by way of shoe stomping. Does that make me a dbag?<br /><br />If so, that's not my signature move.L Witha Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089402505678172242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-38344152002846506532009-10-27T01:14:01.892-04:002009-10-27T01:14:01.892-04:00Everyone has had atleast a minor d-bag moment. No...Everyone has had atleast a minor d-bag moment. No one likes it when their little men die and once in a while tempers flare. <br /><br />I find that taking things in stride and letting others actions speak for THEM and them only. They're making their bed and they'll have to lie in it.<br /><br />That being said, the proxying/lazy/nonpainted b/c I play too much WoW approach to 40k is weak as shit in my opinion.zealothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10722437512454839123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4101762574768178801.post-71915884183996229042009-10-27T00:34:21.184-04:002009-10-27T00:34:21.184-04:00Oh, I so get where you are coming from.

Unfortunately I have a lot of Dbags locally, the only saving grace is that most of them congregate together and shoot thrills up each others legs.<br /><br />I hope that your rant and the one I posted yesterday will help open some Dbags eyes to his problems.<br /><br />If nobody speaks up nothing will ever change.<br /><br />I may start carrying a video camera with me to the LGS, just to show Dbags how ridiculous that look and sound.<br /><br />I've decided to make my tales from the soapbox a regular part of my blog. <br /><br />JimBig Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363832056474538807noreply@blogger.com
