Ever rage quit or made a player rage quit? Any game is fine.
I was running a game and every time I introduced an NPC of some evil importance, one of my players would always say "I shoot him while he's talking" or something to that effect. It didn't always work out but he was always smugly pleased with himself afterwards. So the last time he tried this, I said that when he attacked the NPC he was only attacking an illusion. I don't know why this was such a big deal, but he exploded at the whole group saying I was a railroader and stormed out of the room.
Wasn't me, but a friend who plays skaven was challenged to a 5000pts warhammer fantasy game by a local that guy, who plays orcs. After near and hour and half of deployment, my friend spent his entire turn firing his entire army at 20 black orcs and grimgor, finally finishing them with the dreaded thirteenth spell, removing then unit.
The orc player than packed up the rest of his 4500pt army and left, whilst swearing loudly and throwing accusing glares at my friend.
Pretty sure one of the Weeaboo players at my store rage quit some anime card game.
Dude was drinking the entire time (back room, its pretty common knowledge that you can drink back there) and was full on NoFunAllowed.jpg mode. He was constantly badgering his opponent and goading him to play faster. Eventually he shouts to his opponent "Just play your fucking cards, you know you won!!" and the other guy was pretty uneasy through the rest of his turn.
I never saw that guy again, since we only play back there when the front of the store is full. I'd like to think he quit the game entirely.
Dunno. That's probably it.
I would do it in RPGs back in my early twenties. I had a lot of emotional issues. Still do, but I'm aware of it now and take proper medication. I enjoy gaming much more having (belatedly) developed some maturity and taken measures to improve my mental health.
My first or second game of tabletop ever, I made a pretty goofy driver in Shadowrun. One of the players was a more serious type, kind of rules lawyer, and didn't like the way I played or the character I made. At one point he opened fire upon my character in his car with a large particle cannon he had stored in the back of his tractor trailer, and then quit the game after that session.
Separate game, Deathwatch, I made an extremely goofy character and two of the guys quit and said they didn't like the tone the game had.
There's probably a lot of others but those two spring to mind.
I kept killing some idiot's characters in an online game until heallegedlysperged out and broke his laptop.
The 40kg threads know my woes well but my first few games of 40k were unknowingly against tryhards and WAACos.
I played through the first six games winning only one against an actual bro tier player but finally we get to the Eldar player.
He asks me what I play and I tell him Ork Walkers and use Forgeworld rules, but due to the stigma of the shop (which is why I was only getting games against vets) I quickly followed it up with, but don't worry I don't have any forgeworld models.
>Awesome sounds fun, I play eldar bikes.
I knew the wraith stuff was what I was told to look out for so I thought I scored a cool eldar guy. Boy was I wrong his first turn he already took out 1/3 of my dredds and was being a complete ass about things.
He would make fun of my luck, comment on how shitty my units and army was in general. Criticizing my paint job... just fucking my shit up man.
Going in to turn two I had enough and told him that I wasn't going to keep playing.
>Why?
Because man, you already know you are winning and you haven't said a positive thing yet
>wow you are such a sore loser
Nah man, you are just disrespectful and I a not having fun.
The GW dude came over and once again told me thats why I shouldnt run forgeworld stuff, maybe next time you will have more fun.
They were definitely friends, or at least he spent more at that shop.
Either way it was mostly the last straw for my going there and playing that army.
40k
First game
I'm still new to the rules
I'm Orks, he is Wolves
A bit of rule correction. We finally get into an assault.
Him: "you should issue a challenge"
Me: "I can do that?"
Him: "Yea!"
We start challenge
"Lukas accepts." He says. Then explains what Lukas does.
he never even stated that in his army.
>>44429876
Not quite a rage quit, but over Christmas I got someone I was playing at online chess falsely accuse me of cheating after I went 2.5/3 against him.
>>44430576
How many bloody models were there?
>>44432645
Enough to get pissed off over if you lose your best unit on the first turn. An hour and a half deployment is some bullshit.
A friend of mine at my game soc at uni got told by his opponent that his thunderwolves could charge and run in the same turn. His first game so he thought nothing of it, got charged first turn and all his russ's got blown up first turn and instantly quit.
There is also a guy at my local club who tells you how he can win in mutiple ways before he does it so you can chose. No one plays him
>>44433528
>>who tells you how he can win in mutiple ways before he does it so you can chose
Is his name Dwight Schrute?
>>44433582
Yes! How did you know?
Tim? Is that you?
>>44431490
What's Lukas doing?
>>44433528
what army do you play?
>>44429876
I never rage-quit, but there was one time I had to walk away from the table. We were playing a Paladin campaignin Pathfinder, without a single pally OR LG char in the party. I was a Barb, we were in a temple full of Succubi, and the boss was a demon that could cast Magic Jar. I don't think any of us made a single fucking Will save all session, and I nat 1'd 3 times against that fucking boss. Then I stood up, and walked away for a few minutes. I already had serious issues with shit like Mind Control and other means of completely removing a char from their player's control, that session helped none.
>>44433653
Dying and taking a bunch of models with him via a statis bomb, iirc. I remember hearing about him putting a warhound titan in statis from it.
>>44431109
Maybe you shouldn't make goofy characters in serious settings. When two different groups have had conflicts with you specifically it might not be them....could be you.
>>44432203
How do you even cheat at online chess?
>>44433813
open up another instance against an AI, set it to max difficulty, and play your opponent's moves
When I first started playing back in 2nd ED I almost rage quit. I was playing Necrons and didn't understand the rules that well so I thought that scarabs got a 1+ save in cover, not +1 to their cover save. My opponent got into close combat with my ultra cool invisible scarabs and then explained to me that they didn't get a 1+ save in cover, in fact they got no cover save at all in close combat from cover. I raged, but I didn't quit.
>>44433831
Doing that against yourself seems like a good way to learn.
>>44433888
>check em
Tell us more. Did you call him a heretic?
I don't remember the rules exactly ,but it was a few years ago. I pleayed against a friend, and I told him I wanted to try some different units in IG in a friendly game.
When he showed up, he had slected blood angels, almost all of them with jump packs, and with some special Character that made them move even faster than usual. He won the initiative and in his fist turn he had already charged me. I didnät even have a chance to use any of my new units. I told him there was no point to play after round 2, but he said I was a faggot if I quieted so I had to watch my whole army get wiped in round 4.
>>44433930
I called him a cheater, which is pretty much the same thing.
I caused a rage quit one time though. I was playing dwarven gun line (like an asshole) against some dark elves. I got the first round of combat and dismantled his black guard and cold one knights with my cannons. As he moved forward things only got worse. Once he came in range of my flame cannons his crossbowmen and corsairs were causing panic all over the board. By turn three he was finally in range of my thunderers and I shot him to pieces. He picked up and left after that. His repeater crossbows had only killed a handful of my army and I had nearly tabled his.
It was a hollow victory.
>>44434043
Mmm tears of a dark elf heretic taste the best.
I have a YT channel where I post batreps. I played another guy who also has a YT channel. At the end of his third turn I had clearly won but there were still plenty of models on the table. He ragequit.
Then him and his friends spammed my comments section about how I was an asshole for posting that video because I just got lucky dice.
But I post all my games, even the ones I lose badly in and I didn't even have lucky dice, he just played terribly.
>>44434147

>>44429876
I have only ever rage quit once. it was on roll20 and was a dnd 5e game just after the MM and DMG came out
I had JUST gotten them myself and was planning my own campaign but was itching for a game and decided to try the LFG section. Game seemed decent 'good guys defeat the bad guy' type campaign. talked to DM on skype, seemed like a decent chap (seemed).
game day comes we all show up. No DM. wait a bit then call it. 6hrs later "srry guys my doctor just gave me these new pain pills and I took like a handful and passed out. can we try again next week?"
Im pissed, but still itching for a game, so we agree to give him another chance. next session DM shows up only 1 hr late this time. but he also brought his 2 friends from 'anime club' making the party now 6 people. one of them is playing a homebrewed CE vampire and warns us "you better let me drink from you or i'll kill you". ALSO, the DM has a goblin DMPC. at this point, im gonna leave, but decide to stick around just for today just to see how bad it can get now. start game "so ya i didnt prepare anything for today im just gonna roll stuff form the book"
game commences
>where are we
>let me roll... a forest. roll to see if you have horses
>.... no horses of a 16 apparently
>roll to see if you have shoes
>....
>12 definately no shoes.
>roll to see if you have food
> wtf my kit starts with 10 rations and I bought 3 more with my starting gold
>those are gone and so is your starting gold, i rolled for it
party wander through forest blindly with no goals looking for food. we find a tree with some apples on them. rogue wants apples.
>roll to climb the tree
>16
>ok you get 15 ft up. roll again
>18
>nice ur 30ft up, only 30 more ft to go
>10
>HA YOU FALL TAKE 6D6 DAMAGE
>falling 30ft is only 3d6 and he should get a roll to avoid first 10 ft shouldnt he
>im adding 3d6 damage for landing on the roots
>lvl 1 rogue is dead
so we kept going...
right into a worg ambush
To Be Continued...
Telestrations.
Guy wouldn't fucking turn the page and basically cheat due to incompetance. After the third time of trying to explain to just turn the page he got mad and quit
>>44433831
BRILLIANT!
>>44434499
>5 worgs vs 5 PCs and 1 DMPC
>I have read the MM and DMG, I know this unfair and am salty as fuck
>funny, THIS iswhat got me super salty.
>not the vampire (who only now that combat has started has decided to stop playing dota
>not the shitty DMPC
>a simple unfair fight
>my char, a bard, dies in round 1 to 2 worgs.
>in that time, Goblin DMPC kills 1 worg in 1 hit with a custom spell
>vampire kills 2 worgs with claw attacks (apparently multiattack was part of his homebrew race)
>rage commences
I just wanted to see how bad it would get. ended up losing my cool big time over a little thing. There was no winners in this story, only assholes and 2 hours of wasted lives
>>44432864
he was asking for it with a tiny 20 person bodyguard at 5000 points.
I didn't ragequit but I had an internal monologue of all the reasons why I was never coming back to this shop again. Myself and another guy we're being "taught" to play 40k. I say "taught" because it was more like I was hung out to dry while the teacher would tell the other guy "don't do what he did, that unit cant actually hurt you. Now do this and kill his squad". Whenplay I questioned him about why I was the designated kicking boy before even knowing how to play I was told to learn from my mistakes.
Had one guy rage-quit on me back in the early 90's. Big yelling hissy fit, grabbed his stuff, and stomped to the door. For extra dramatic effect, he put both hands on the door to give it a good and hard slam.
Problem was, it was one of those doors with the pneumatic piston to keep it from swinging too fast. Not only did he fail to slam the door, his hands slid off of it and right into the door jam with a resounding 'crack'; which was quickly followed by the sound of all of us laughing at him.
>>44434824
Ouch
One time i was playing Axis and Allies, and the other guy flipped the table because i tore through his entire fucking AMERICA FUCK YEAH empire he had built up by taking out japan. As his empire crumbled around him, he grew increasingly agitated, until he flipped the table after i won the final combat.
>>44435038
How the fuck did you manage as Axis with a dead Japan.

Transmuter ability is an instant. There was nothing they could do.
Need to know how to make someone rage quit in Dark Heresy 2E trying to constantly kill me because I'm a rank higher than him and he's using the Braizer to act like he's a higher authority than me.
Anyone want to help me on this he's playing as a special snowflake guardsmen woman.
>>44435392
> guardswoman
>>44435392
and your PC is a what now
>>44435392
You couldtalk to him about it like an adult instead of trying to turn the game into interparty killing shitshow
>>44435500
A Highborn Hierophant Guardsmen whose a Violinist that plays to his fellow troops and was a Sergeant beforehand which is why he was a NCO as-of-now.
He writes songs to his troops to boost their morale and prays contently to the God-Emperor with dedication to him as all other Guardsmen should and has a Cybernetic Voice implant just so he can sing to his entire Regiment his songs to drive away his enemies and inspire his men.
>>44436064
He threw a grenade at me in a munitions room, do you think he's reasonable?
He also has a Braizer as a guardswoman "just because"
>>44435070
he didnt
>>44436398
The point of this thread is rage quit moments not helping your little shit show,
>>44436689
You trying to tell me he lied about this on the internet?
Never did but me and another player came REAL damn close.
Our DM's second game, his first was pretty good for a first timer except after giving us no loot he dropped a ton of gold on us to make up for it and we all went and got geared up and were suddenly hugely more powerful so he freaked out.
That leads into game two. We start the We Be Goblins pathfinder module, figure it's gonna be fun, run around and burn shit, don't really put alot of thought into character creation because it's supposed to be a one off and he says to use low point buy, well makes sense we're goblins after all, even if it ruined my idea for sneaky stabby goblin ninja. Well then he decides he's going to combine it with Skulls and Shackles. Thats right buckos, you're goblin pirates now.
Fuck, so we have no ranks in sailing or anything and our crew is made up of retarded goblins.
The ragequit came when we got to this pirate port (who were all totally cool with us being a whole crew of goblins it seemed) and our rouge/captain tried to sell off the captured trade goods we had for repairs and refits on our ship and the guy tries screwing him over on the exchange, he rolls appraise and gets like a good result but is told "oh but you'd only know the goblin appraisal of it, so you know the shiny hat (a gold crown) is worth ten crunchy bugs." my own moment of rage came when we were going through town and i wanted to get a melee weapon to round out my gear since all i had was a musket (Goblin Gunslinger is actually pretty solid) and when asking to buy a hand axe was told there were none, in a town that builds ships there were no hatchets, handaxes, machetes, or daggers.
>>44436398
It doesn't matter if he is being reasonable or not.
What matters is that if you sink to his level you are just going to ruin the game for everyone involved.
Talk to him. Talk to your GM, as the fact that he keeps getting away with it tells me that the GM is also at fault for enabling such behaviour.
If that doesn't work, tell all the other players about your problem and then leave.
>>44437908
I'm trying to figure it out but he's pretty much the admin of the group I'm in or atleast one and everyone calls him Hitler anyways.
This is one of those times I wish I was in more than one group
>>44434577
>cheating at a fucking party game
What a fucking shitter.
I've caused a few in my time. I'm a grill who plays TCGs, and I'm fairly good at it plus I play rogue deck builds so most players don't know how to play against me well.
Had several instances where a meta-playing guy I just wiped the floor with got salty and quit. Not my fault I've played against meta decks so much I know how to counter almost any variant I see, dude.
>>44439781

>>44439183
>This is one of those times I wish I was in more than one group
This is one of those times when you should be searching for a new group instead of playing in this one.
Revenge only helps you in one way: If you lack the willpower to leave on your own, then you should see how much of a jackass you can become before he helps you by banning you. Leaving you no choice but to find another group.
>>44429876
I made a guy rage quit first time I played Blood Bowl. Knowing the game, he was confident he would crush me using his custom orc team with an ogre champion. I had to play a random human team.
First part of the game he was winning. Second part of the game I changed my strategy and took out his ogre champion and his blitzers while taking only minor casualties. Quickly, I got back on score and then all of a sudden he started to pack the game pretending he was late.
>>44431365
Jesus Christ, what a couple of bastards. Stick with it, there are plenty of non cunts that play 40k.
>>44439781
Are you the girl who played a modern curse mtg deck against my friends and i and wiped us???
>>44433995
Wow, what a fag for sticking around until turn 4.
See how that word is meaningless and means about as much as me calling you a poopybutthead? Just leave the table, cheesemongers feel hollow and have to go home and fap all over their list to make themselves feel like they won that one.
I've ragequit a couple times. I ragequit Magic permanently because everyone else who played it were assholes and I eventually got tired of dealing with them. (Note: It's now 20 years later and I've moved over a thousand miles away from where I grew up and everyone who I know here that plays magic are also unbelievable assholes so I'm not sure it's a fluke). No big story, just got tired of constant verbal abuse, either constant trash talk if I was losing or constant accusations of cheating and ragequits when I was winning.
I ragequit a pathfinder game I was in because there was a woman-child (i.e., a grown-ass woman that acted like she was 14 and not in a kinky way) who was fucking most of the guys in the group and playing head games with us.
>>44442972
I used to have horrific luck in blood bowl so I made a goblin team out of the cheapest most solid plastic miniatures I could find.
This allowed me in moments of extreme poor rolls to let my anger out in a safe way by showing my troll how throw team mate should be done.
Closest to making somebody rage was when I played a game of 40k with a brony tau player with my Guard.
Game was going along fine until he thought he would be clever and deep strikes behind Inquisitor Coteaz's squad of doom
He all his deep striking units because Coteaz's special rule then started yelling
>YOU NEED TO TELL ME THESE THINGS
>YOU NEED TO TELL ME THATS ONE SQUAD
I did....
>NO YOU DIDNT
>YOU'RE NEW I GET THAT
His friend:"Hows the game going?"
>HE DIDNT TELL ME WHAT HE SHOULD HAVE SO I LOST CUS HES NEW!
Yelling so the whole store can hear him im assuming.
It doesnt help he fancies himself as a tactical genius and brags about beating fluffy Chaos players with 3 his riptide lists he found online.
Best part is he was bragging to people how he list tailored against me before the game started and how I was going to be "Anihilated".
I played in a MtG prerelease (I want to say it was Gatecrash). I think it was the fourth round. It was late, I was still a little noobish and made a mistake or two but was still doing pretty well. The guy I was playing got really upset when he lost a game, mostly because he lost to me. When I won the match he threw his cards down and got upset, then dropped from the tournament.
I didn't think anyone took those so seriously. I still feel bad for making him quit.
>>44429876
I came real close to rage quitting at one point.
>Find a shadowrun 4e game on roll20

>Only GM, me and another player show up at game time.
>GM says that he is currently recovering from flu and is just running a short session to get me into the game.

>>44431365

This is why we were telling you to report his ass, Games Workshop will chew him out pretty badly if you tell them that story alone.
Not including the other stuff.
>>44433995
I am disappointed that you call him a friend, not an ex-friend.
I made some guy really salty with my casual werewolf deck in MTG. Every time I went to this LGS and this guy was there he always wanted to play against me and my werewolves. This guy would get visibly angry and shit when losing. One I was there and he just came in, so I played him. He played 3 different decks and lost with each one and then he left very pissed off.
>>44446626
My friend did a similar thing with his tribal Soldier EDH deck.
This super control faggot always showed up to the LGS we used to go to on EDH nights and would just play balls to the walls control, usually mono blue or dimir.
My friend brought his soldiers once and got a lucky round in and smoked the guy. This was the control player got second on edh in a long time and after standings were put out he spent the rest of the time we were there asking for rematches and inflating his own ego telling anyone who would listen how often he usually wins.
I am glad we stopped going there that guy ruined EDH and the owner never stopped him.
>>44435372
You realize you can just use MT to pick up and put the PA down right? PA can't be targeted when you do it either, since putting it in your hand is a cost.
>>44445731
that seems like a cool idea though; having a character in the past navigating the building in it's prime while telling another character where to go in the dilapidated present version.
>>44444818
I would love to see that

This image made me ragequit Cthulhutech. It's the only time I've ever ragequit an entire RPG line over a single monster entry.
What sort of people do the Wildfire staff even play with that they think this would be acceptable? You can kiss any dramatic tension goodbye the second your PCs shoot them in the face while screaming "YIFF IN HELL, FURFAGS."
Creatures born of Shubb Niggurath should look something like this http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/overlordmaruyama/images/e/ee/Dark_Young.png/revision/latest?cb=20150726055747
Granted, it wasn't only the Horny...ahem Horned Ones that made me ragequit. CT's ass horrible rules, "adventures" which are more like one page bullet-pointed plot summaries which are incredibly inflexible and outright state that the pcs will die or get raped if they stray from the plot railroad, and the fact that they managed to make a really interesting concept (Tagers) the least fun to play already pissed me off. The Horned Ones were just the straw that broke the camel's back.
>>44447973
>What sort of people do the Wildfire staff even play with that they think this would be acceptable?
In b4 "people who are mature, HERP DERP."
I thankfully didn't rage. I was playing Warmahordes at a local the foodmachine tournament. And I had won my first game and before our second we had lunch, and I carpooled with my next opponent. After we ate he stopped at the local Walmart to buy 100 cans of food to give his colossal +1 to all stats ,and basically make me re-role every role that hit him. To counter this I just went for objectives because it was the only thing I could do, and I lost because he made me re-role my final to hit on the last objective. In the final game I played against a cheesy Cygnar gunline who just obliterated my tier 4 CoC Axis list. After that I just left before the rest of the people had finished there 3rd round.
A guy got upset one time that everyone including the dm was not taking Role Playing Games seriously, apperently one of my crimes was that my calavlier was inspired by Jaldaboath, and he didn't like that.
>>44446787
This reminds me that at the same LGS I played the owner in EDH. For background the owner gets really salty when losing and he is not a very good deck builder either. Now to continue, I just finished off my Prossh EDH deck and the owner wanted to play, so I thought why not? Not even five minutes into the game the owner has to go do something else, so he asks my friend to play the deck for him.
I continued the game with my friend and beat him. The owner comes back and asks how the game went and we told him that my friend lost. The owner then starts saying how my friend didn't play the deck right and that I should play against him with him actually using the deck.
Easily beat the owner and I see that he is visibly salty/angry. He asks to play again and I agree to, but he changes the commander of his deck. I beat him and I know this guy is really pissed off. Thankfully my friend wanted to leave after that game.
>>44430929
The first step to overcoming a problem is to acknowledge it anon, good job.
I just moved to santa clarita ca went to a shop called gaming attic. They said they had legacy turnys so I went the first chance I had. Brought my homunculus deck and stomped this guy turn for 4. He picks up his cards while saying my deck isnt legal in legacy.

Its not great but runs 50/50 most of the time. Tell guy to bite me and start packing the cards up. Guy tells me to pack my shit and get out of his shop. Look around and everyone's giving me the stink eye. Ask to see proof of ownership. Two guys from behind me pick me up and throw me out the door, my shit blowing in the wind. Never went back again. Keep hearing stories about the place that will tg tests cringe. biased rulings, botched turnys, and preteen kids swearing of tg forever.

Nah, that just illustrates the important of actually talking with the group about setting, style and goals before starting. It's amazing how many stories like this can be avoided if people just talk it out like adults first.
>>44448509
I would like to hear those stories.
I've told this story before, but it's always fun to share.
Playing at a 40k tournament back in 4th edition. Playing my SM bulletstorm list. List puts out an insane amount of dakka per turn from Ass Cannons, Heavy Bolters, Whirlwinds etc In essence, it works well against hordes and pretty well against everything else.
I'm actually going well for once as I'm on 3 wins, so towards the top of the leader board.
4th round begins and I'm playing Nids. Good for me, bad for him. Mission states that a lot of units begin in reserves. I get first turn. I wipe out his units. His turn, his units move on. 2nd turn, wiped out again except one Lictor. 3rd turn, the same thing happens.
4th turn he flips the fucking table. Army is wrecked. Guy is permabanned from the event. I place high enough and get a Landraider.
>>44447973
I know Cthulhutechs writer personally. He gets pretty into his ideas for how things work and usually does not consider how other people want to run his worlds, because he's sure he's already figured out the coolest way to do things. He writes good stuff and runs it well. It's just not designed to be run in any other way.
Explains a ton of stuff about all of his games.
>>44449949
I hope he got punched really bloody hard for that.
>>44451501
So what's his deal with all the rape and furries and general math fuckery?
>>44452032
> general math fuckery
I have not heard this complaint about Cthulhutech before. Could someone elaborate upon it ?
>>44452095
I'm not terribly familiar with the system, but from what I've heard there can be pretty much zero "class" overlap becausebof the huge power discrepancies, and that the dice pool math in general could be pretty wonky.
>>44452032
I can only answer for the math fuckery. He's pretty worried about his game systems feeling like other game systems. This come across with some cool new mechanics. This also brings with it a lot of complications.
>>44452095
Basically the Cthulhutech dice poker system results in a really screwed up probability curve.
>>44455764
I've never had reason to loom at Cthulutech. What the hell does dice poker mean?
>>44455764
Remember that you are talking to people who have never looked at Cthulhutech. Throwing out unexplained terms like 'dice poker' doesn't help anyone.
What do you mean by 'dice poker' ?
How does that result in a screwed up probability curve ?
>>44433831
Damn that's brilliant.
>>44433901
In other words, just playing the game at max difficulty?
>>44445693
Wouldn't rage quit, but would definitely pretend to get a very important text, make an excuse to leave, and never play in a game that guy runs, though.
>>44457575
Wait till you see how people try to hide the cheating in high level chess tournaments:

>>44457735
I can't believe he got that far in the first place.
I once had a GW store manager going into rage mode when me and a few friends played Legends of the Old West at a GW store.
Non GW games were flatout banned
And non GW minis were banned
The exception being if GW dident make minis for a unit AND you could not convert it from GW kits.
2 of the store workers and a bunch of the people there were hella interested in it and asking all kinds of questions.
A shame they decided it was too fun and that the historicals department must die because fun must not exist in GW.
But who knows. I have a slight lingering hope it will be brought back with the new department heading up the revamp of Blood Bowl, BFG, necromunda ect ect.
>>44430576
>that guy, who plays orcs.
No shit. All that guys in ttrpg play orcs and orc equivalents.
>>44429876
I wouldn't call it a rage quit, but I outplayed a dude so hard in a Warmahordes tourney one game that he all but forfeited to me, only staying because he wanted me to earn more points for tiebreakers.
It was neat, because on one had it was an incredibly difficult match for me, list wise, but I mostly outplayed him so hard because he had no idea what my army did. He wasn't really a terrible player, didn't make any mistakes, he just didn't know what he needed to do to win.
The funny part is that he kept leaving himself open for assassination and I just refused to take it, because the match is so bad for me. I had to clock him.
>>44429876
>not just shooting the player while he's talkingnot the character
>>44447713
Trying to re-format on phone is awful.
He deep struck some tau units behind coteaz's squad and got promptly blasted because of Coteaz's special rule "I've been expecting you."
>>44439781
Roasted lips.
>>44429876
I constantly cause other players to rage. I'm effectively the hazing machine at the local college for the MTG scene. Effectively to see if they have patience or can think, I throw a singular deck at scrubs. It's called the cold war and the entire point is to make the game go to a standstill. Only way it loses is to burn, mill or repetitive wipes/enchantment removal. Because making my opponent have no graveyard, upkeeps, artifact activations, or field presence while having to pay 40-60+ mana per creature attacking tends to crush their spirits. So we play until we deck out. Mine has over 60 and generally wins against any deck that relies on card draw, ramp or other methods of thinning the deck, even if by one card. It's nicely filtered people into three categories. The ragers, the players and the anti-funs. We only take players into the group.

I rage quit in DH, after my Sister of Battle had over the past few sessions been a repeated witness of gross heresy by the psyker. Happily poking at anything that looked heretical, eagerly accepting any corruption, swearing loudly when, on a random roll, he lost all his corruption points. Eventually, after having repeated at least a dozen times over the sessions - OOC and IC - that i would have to violently respond to his actions, i just fucking told the GM my character walked out of the building and sat in the car to wait. The inquisitor would not let me get the authority to order the psyker to not gobble up heretical material, i couldn't kill him myself (because bullet stopping powers), the fucking priest player was semi-AFK every session, only waking up when we'd shout his name twice or thrice, and his only reponse to these conflicts was to use his huge fellowship to stop my sister from attacking.
It should also be noted that my sister was already in the party when he made the psyker, and i repeatedly told him during his chargen that i would be forced to react to heresy. Dropped the sister after that final session, started playing a tech-priest instead.
>>44460458
Eh, a simmering Sister Of Battle, barely held back by a heresy friendly Inquisitor sounds fun to play.
You could have her agonising over it, if it is for the greater good, if the inquisitor has been corrupted, see if the GM wants to run a future arc where she snaps tries to kill the psyker and goes to work for another inquisitor while you roll up another PC.
While you play her as frequent cameos as a member of a heretic rival party.
>>44460499
Er heretic-hating rather, I'm imagining Miko from Order Of The Stick, basically.
>>44429876
I made a friend of mine rage quit during a duel game of chivalry. He was playing a vanguard and couldn't handle that I as an archer either shot him down before he could reach me, or that I beat him in a sword fight despite having a weaker class for it
>>44460499
It was real fun in the beginning, but i repeatedly had to essentially choose to ignore all rules of the sisterhood, or shoot him. I mean, he may not have said it in-game, but OOC he kept talking about how he wanted to get the corruption points neccessary to become a sorcerer, and how awesome it would be when it happened.
I had plenty of fun with his previous character; a scum-like guardsmen serving with us only because we had the trigger for his explosive collar. Great moments of interrogating innocent civilians, shootouts with gangs and, of course, the time when the guardsman died, closely tied to the 13 or so frags he had on him, half-dozen krak and meltas, and the collar itself. There was some great minor friction between his casual cynicism and dislike for clergy and zealous people, but we made a fun duo. Didn't quite have so fun with the psyker, in my opinion.
>>44460242
You sound so full of yourself.
>>44460615
It's just a card game, bro!
>>44460242
Why is it called the cold war? Those doesn't make any fucking sense.
>>44460719
Both players too afraid to play anything in attack. Instead forced to slowly build up their own powerbase until they get to a stage where they can wipe the opponent in a single move. Neither side can get there.
Cold War.
>>44460719

>>44460749
Oh, so you'd have to be an idiot to play it?
what's the difference between concedeing and rage quitting?
I once made a tau player ragequit because I killed his crisis deathstar with some admech
he then proceeded to tell me I was an asshole because apparently I didn't say they had 2 plasma guns even if I told him and we played whatyouseeiswhatyouget
>>44460896
Conceding is saying you've lost and politely packing up. Ragequitting is throwing a fit or getting overly butthurt. Anyone who says there's no difference and that you should play it out anyways is a prick.
>>44460944
But what if crushing people new to my hobby is my one ray in my sad shell of a life?

Magic is a big hobby and unlike a lot of other nerd hobbies it's one where even at a relatively low level you're formally paired with an opponent. It makes it harder to avoid assholes when you're paired up with them at FNM.
>>44439781
That's not a grill thing, that's a rogue deck thing. A lot of Magic players don't deal well with stuff they've not read about online prior to the match, throwing a rogue deck into a meta means suddenly people's sideboards don't work well and people get very frustrated. A certain kind of person doesn't like it when what 'should' happen doesn't, they get very frustrated when their loyal netdecked meta-aware sideboard doesn't do anything.

I would fucking murder him
I was playing Tiny Leaders with Kemba as my leader. Board state was 30 or so cats on my side and Nantuko Husk with 30 or so tokens on enemy side, I had one unblockable unit and just attacked him for 3 damage every turn, after 4 turns he conceded. He looked at next two cards off the top of his deck, one of them was Rakdos Charm. He raged pretty hard.
I somehow managed to get someone to ragequit at Cards Against Humanity.
We were with five people, but only three spoke fluent English. The two others (both new to the game) could understand the cards well enough, but their pronunciation was horrible. To compensate, we made a simple rule: first you place the card on the table, then you read it out loud. This way, people can read along.
The first one to read the cards had trouble pronouncing things, but since everyone could read along everyone got the joke and we had some laughs.
Then the second one got her turn. She took the black card, held it in front of her, read it out loud and then put the card down. We kindly reminded her of the rule. After handing her the stack of white cards, she took the first white card, held it in front of her, read it out loud, and then put the card down. Again, we reminded her of the rule, as nobody understood what she said.
This process continued for four more white cards, with us repeating the same rule again and again in increasingly annoyed tones. Nobody laughed, and a few pretty good jokes were wasted.
The next time she got her turn as judge, she -guess what- read the card out loud and then put it down, so I said "look <name>, it's simple. FIRST put the card down, THEN read it. Do you understand?" to which the reply was a half-hearted "okay".
She then managed to screw up again, so the group collectively groaned and stated the rule AGAIN. She then stood up and said "This game sucks" and left.
She later explained that she didn't put them down because she had trouble reading them at that distance but 'forgot' to say so, yet insists she doesn't need glasses.

>>44462278
>large and increasing difficulty to break the railroad
how so?
>>44462904
No they don't you just need to accept them as a legitimate strategy.
Coming in 2nd is better than coming in 3rd is better than coming in 4th and so on. The goal of the kingmaker strategy is to ensure that you come in as high a place as possible while ensuring that the people who made it impossible for you to win finish up below you.
When you expend all of your resources to ensure that someone else can't win you shouldn't be surprised that they leverage their remaining power to finish ahead of you. You didn't outplay them and they're not trying to spite you. They're doing what they can to ensure that they finish in as high a position as they can. As they should. Silver is better than bronze.
You want to beat someone who you think will go for the kingmaker? Hold off on your kill stroke until it's too late for them to respond, target everyone with about the same amount of stuff, avoid targeting a player who was targeted by the majority of the other players that turn or in the previous turn. Board game strategy is as much about mind games with your opponents and their attitudes as it is the rules of the specific game.
Finally, any tactic can be a dick move or civil, it's all about how you act when making the play. Yes, even kingmaking.

&E -> 7E*
I got close twice.
First time, second game of 40k ever, my 1500 points of mechanized IG that spams templates vs two Felblades, I think they were they were resistant to meltaguns is all I remember, and a Rhino. By turn 3 all I have left capable of possibly damaging the tanks is my Basilisk battery and he's already across the board. There wasn't really any possible chance of winning and I felt pretty salty about it, but there pretty much wasn't much chance of me winning even if I was a seasoned vet with the lists.
Second time was my 2k Grey Knights list with 20 models split into 6 different units. I went against two people who kept saying they each got a Warlord trait and also brought a Riptide and two Dreadknights. All game they kept talking about how powerful their shit was and how screwed I was.
Why do people think my obviously non competitive lists need to be countered by the most overpowered units available to them?

Reminds me of a small story. Wasn't rage quit, but was still a lot of butthurt.
Got invited to a group. The DM loved me, but one of his long time players was a very NoFunAllowed Space-Marine loving kind of guy who wanted his fantasy to be serious all the time. Didn't like my slightly goofy aristocratic and naive wizard. We were going to the first town after all the character introductions, and he was like "Nah, this town seems like trouble, I go around" while the rest of us go in. He just sits on the sideline like a baby who had his toy taken away from him, staring at his phone. He claimed he did it because his bus was going to stop running soon, but then stayed there listening for a full 2 hours afterwards.
We had a blast at the session, and then I don't get invited back for it. I ran into the DM later on and he said "Well, *I* liked you, but that guy didn't like the character you had, and told me if you showed up again, he wouldn't. Sorry man".
I got a new group, but that tryhard still irks me to this day.
>>44429876

No. I was playing basic Catan once, got screwed by the dice and literally could not build any more settlements past my initial two. Literally completely encircled within the first twenty dice-rolls. I did the math, I'd have to upgrade both to Cities, get Largest Army, and get four of the five +1 VP cards in order to win. This was all while I was getting maybe 1 resource every four or five dice rolls and without access to Stone, making such a task more or less impossible.
I got up, said that I forfeited, and had a drink. That's just how things go sometimes in Catan, and it's not their fault for playing smart. At the same time it's not fair to have a player sit at the table, participating without a chance of victory.
>>44431109
Honestly, Anon, you should probably check with the group before making goofy characters. It can work, and work very well, but the rest of the group needs to be okay with it. I'm not going to accuse you of being That Guy, but I am suggesting you are in danger of becoming That Guy.
Just be a little more careful, and tone down the goofiness at the very least.

I have a couple of friends who do almost exactly this. I don't think they realize how much they suck the fun out of the evening by being in a sour mood.
They're not really sore losers either, per say. It's more like as soon as they think that they can no longer take first, they just give up and do the bare minimum to continue playing without regard to strategy. They'll do this and sit there quietly wearing a scowl and then one up anyone who dares so much as utter a complaint about their hand, or the dice, or what have you and openly admit to having given up and proclaimed their loss if someone asks about or critiques their strategy.
One time one of them even won the game after making it miserable for everyone else by doing this because he had miscounted someone else's points.

This is 4chan, a website that everyone knows about and most have visited at least once in their life. You could slap the keyboard in the youtube search, hit enter, close your eyes, and have you cat click on a video and you'd be watching something made by someone who went to 4chan at least once.

Not them, but I can understand. There's a point in any game I call "the Winning point" which is that, beyond that point in the game, barring egregious human error, the winner has already been determined. I HATE playing past this point, because then the game loses interest to me.
Sorta ontopic story, I rage quit an entire game because I was winning too hard and the loser was insisting that we kept playing. And when I say entire game, I don't mean that match, I mean I stopped playing that game.

He expected you to just waste your time as if you have nothing better to do? Screw him.
>>44467557
I think you don't/didn't understand his mindset. I've been that guy before though.
He obviously has some love for the game, and if he's at least as skilled as you has recognized that he lost. The thing is, he want's to see how hard the hole is to crawl back out of. For him the game being over isn't a detriment to his fun, instead he found a new puzzle to complete in the game itself that will test his ability and ultimately make him a better player.
The fastest way to get better at anything is by taking on an unwinnable situation and trying to win.
>>44467820
As I define the winning point, the only win possible for him was for me to make a catastrophic mistake. If there had been a prize on the line, I would have forgiven him, but assuming he could still win and continue playing past that point, to me at least, was a little insulting, which may have been what grated on my nerves so much.
>>44467859
"I win. We're done here."
"Hold on, I'd like to see how close I can make it."
"Fuck you. I win. We're done."
You're the worst kind of player.
>>44468031
Yup.
>>44468056
Given how Go conduct works, you're both pretty shit imo
>>44468092
Okay.
I was playing a 'Ard Boys 2500 point tourney at my FLGS, where cheesy, over the top lists were encouraged. Second game this dude who had been bragging about how "OP" his army was was my opponent. He brought a Guard parking lot with a few vets and made a perfect square of them all in one corner of the board, with leman russes shielding the other squishier artillery and support. He gloated that There was no way that i could get past his wall of AV 14. Then I seized the initative and my 3 skyhammer annihilation forces came in. All grav, and sergents on the assault squads with power fists. I wiped out all his Leman russes, chimeras, and Pask turn one. He flipped his shit, and surrendered, screaming that I took all the fun out of the game. Sorry man, but there was a deliberate "no best sportsman" rule in effect. He stopped complaining when in my next game I was rekt by a admech war conclave with flesh tearer pods. I didn't Rage and took my ass thrashing like a man though.

Did he eat the pizza and always insist he's pay you back later but never do? And then he continues to eat your pizza every time without paying until some other group member comes in and gets serious with the dude about paying you back and now the Greek dude is hosting a yard sale to pay for all the pizza he made.

>>44468510
they both spoke terrible english, one played in a super loud internet cafe, and the other was so autistic about his character, to the point of quiting the game when he was shot by a las cannon.
>>44430929
That Guy turned Good Guy. I'm proud of you anon.
>>44468519
The opposite of a fun game.
>>44446823
Yes. I ran 4 of each, i just had two of each on the board at the time.
It's my "fuck you" deck.
I got a guy to rage quit when he officially had won.
Playing in a 40k league that's pretty try hard, I get paired up with the fellow chaos player (i'm daemons and he was CSM). We both had deathstars and daemon walkers and stuff. Before hand we agreed to play strictly by the rules for tourney practice. Unfortunately for me, early in the game I forget to move Fateweaver and had already moved on to the shooting phase so strictly speaking he was one the ground standing next to an a bunch of Chaos Spawn ready to charge him next turn and kill him. We both agreed that was going to lose as a result so I say to him "lets keep playing as if I had flown Fateweaver for the practice but I'll forfeit so you have the win". He agree and we keep playing.
That's where his luck makes a turn for the worst possible. His beatstick chaos lord failed 4 invuls instantly in a challenge against my Herald of Khorne so i get Warlord right away. Be'lakor was stuck fighting a Soul Grinder he just could not hurt yet kept taking a wound ever turn even though he was invisible. And his Maulerfiend w/ Lasher Tendrils kept whiffing on my other Soul Grinder yet I kept slapping he shit with only 1 attack. He was getting more and more pissed with every terrible roll he made. Eventually when his invisible Be'lakor dies to the Soul Grinder that has only lost a single hull point he just loses it. He starts just picking up his own models and crushing them in his hands. Cultists, pink horrors, be'lakor. The whole time i'm just trying to get him to stop reminding him he has the win but he says he doesn't care, shoves all his now broken models into his box and storms off. Doesn't return for the rest of the league and I get given the win as a result.
>>44435326
You did that wrong

>>44435372
that's a fucking retarded card, from an outsider's perspective. How does the game end when you use that card?

you kill/remove it.

YOU'RE ONE DAY LATE
>>44469071

Nah m8, he was just playing chaos fully in character.
>>44429876
Back in middle school, when my friends and I would play Magic at lunch, I built a deck I called "The Annoyinator", a U/B deck with lots of control, creature bounces, and some destruction. I also played in the most annoying way possible. I only ever legitimately won one game with it, the rest of the time my opponents just quit because it was that annoying. Eventually after two week of playing nothing but that my friends banned me from playing it ever again.
I regret nothing.
>>44433901
As someone who teaches a bit of chess, it really isn't. I'm about a 2000 FIDE. Any computer these days is way stronger. If I play Shredder or any of the other big AIs at max level 100 games, I'm going to lose all 100.
If most casuals play me 100 games, I will win all 100. When you're playing that far out of your depth, you tend to get blown away so badly you don't even fully grasp how much you got crushed.
Personal, unscientific recommendation is that if you want learning experience in Chess, play people or machines you can win 1 game in 4 or 5 against. Good enough to learn from, but still more or less on the same plane as yourself.
>>44469179
It's very expensive to play and can only come out very late in the game, and dies to two different types of permanent removal, as well as counterspells. And your life total can still go below 1, so if it's removed at that point, even temporarily, you still lose. However, if it does stick around, a 4/4 with evasion should be able to end the game.
Only control players would play it competitively, and they don't like depending on something so fragile.
>>44469179
The player controlling it still has permission to win. Its a one sided card
>>44460242
Yeah you're a cunt and your mates are cunts.
>>44462749
not even going to lie iv done that a few times but only if i feel one of the other players is being a dick.
>>44451831
I was just in shock and was just picking up my models. He also damaged someones table they had brought along for the event.
Needless to say, the guy was a cunt.
I get it was a bad match up from his perspective but I honestly don't know what I should have done? Lose on purpose?
The funny thing is, he had filled out his comp and sports scores right at the start and had given me two zeroes.
>>44464460
How is it a legitimate strategy to lose on purpose? The guys example from the GoT game is not strategy. By opening up his borders so the Baratheans could take the Stark fortresses he broke the flow of the game.
This sort of kingmaking just shits me up the wall as it makes the game uneven and then people feel super chuffed as they feel like the outsmarted everyone else.
>>44434605
You deserved it.
>>44470085
In the one time I've ever played the GoT game, I've never willfully given up my own territory. I would put pressure on someone else, but sacrificing my forts was right out of the fucking question.
>>44467481
uhm, the fact that everyone has used 4chan doesn't change the fact that each and every user is anonymous to one another until they change that.
Anonymous isn't the exact same as hidden/unknown. It means, in this context, that people don't know who you are. And anon wanted it to remain that way, hence he didn't post his youtube channel.
>>44467447
>>"I felt like it."
Sometimes I really wonder whether bullying autists isn't the right thing to do.
No fucking social tact.
>>44467557
Wow, think of how much of an asshole you are.
>I'm winning so much I can't even have fun
>What a waste of time, me WINNING
The two things that confirm the assholery:
1. You were only halfway through an "average" game of Go, so it wasn't a dastardly long game
2. You offered to give him the win just to end the "suffering" of you winning.
That's some fucked up shit. You didn't ragequit that game because of that anecdote, you quit Go because it had become a boring, un-challenging game. I understand that, but you had a shitty mindset about it
>Oh my gosh, I'm winning AGAIN?! Get this over with so that I can go and play another game, one I might WIN.
>>44470571
For what purpose would we stalk him?
Why the fuck would any of us care enough to stalk some random chucklefuck for 2 years?
You're not that fucking important.
>>44469514
>>44469653
thank you, that helped me understand
>>44470085
>chuffed
I love you Brits.
What's a word of ours that you like?
>>44470260
Pretty much. Playing for 2nd/3rd can be a legitimate tactic. Hell, there are games where the aim is to finish in certain positions so you "win" due to meeting your victory conditions.
But purposefully doing stuff that isn't in the spirit of the game is just a dick move. There's no two ways about it.
>>44470785
whether or not his paranoia is justified or even real, it's still his choice whether or not he discloses his youtube channel. Once he makes that decision (which he did: no), any rational, mature adult would accept that and move on, since it's not THEIR choice. Instead of bitching and complaining and trying to convince him otherwise by insulting him (calling him paranoid).
>>44463827
Too late, we Dark Angels now.
>>44429876
I used to play casual friendly 40k with a few friends of mine back in college. One guy was a sore loser and sore winner. He usually made decent lists but never knew how to play them, or how to use anything to his advantage. When he'd start to lose he'd get really whiny and complain about how he was horrible at the game, and generally made you feel horrible. If you gave him advice and he beat you he'd gloat about how good his list/strategy was. I can recall one particular time where I managed to table him in about two turns. He got pretty salty and stopped playing for about two weeks.
>>44461830
Given the choice between mtg and booty, which would you go for? Cramming into a packed room for some prerelease event with a bunch of s!Elly man children SURE SOUNDS BETTER THAN CUDDLING
>>44471015
>it's still his choice whether or not he discloses his youtube channel
Then he shouldn't have brought it up, since it was completely irrelevant to his story
>>44467557
This poster is the biggest faggot I've read about in quite a while
>>44471569
Actually, his youtube account was very relevant to the story
Him posting the match on youtube was the whole reason why the other guy got so pissed
>>44462661
>>44462904
Oh hey, the reason I never fucking play board games
>>44466093
What self-respecting ref ever lets a player make that kind of decision for the whole group?
>>44460242
Seriously? So, anyone who wants to join to learn has to see the type of deck that not only forces them to lose, but means going on, untill they either die of boredom, or quit from hoplessness. Why would anyone want to join a group of people who comes up with a deck that makes the game as dull as possible? Bloody hell, I haze people for my group of underlings by playing a few games with them and seeing how they react to wins, losses, and ties, not by waterboarding the poor bastards. Hazing may be a test of your mental fortitude, but testing theirs could make someone not only hate you, but the game you play too. Shame on you sit, shame on you.
>>44474218
That was my thoughts when I read that too.
>>44433901
What, like play two chess AIs against each other?
or just playing the chess game on hard?
>>44470698
>Wow, think of how much of an asshole you are.
When I play a game of any sort, my primary interest is my own fun. Not yours, not anyone else's. Mine. If I'm not having fun, or even worse, YOUR fun gets in the way of my fun, then yes, I will absolutely ruin that. It's the same reason why everyone here, when playing a tabletop game such as D&D or GURPs or Shadowrun will ask you to leave when you having fun becomes disruptive to the group having fun.
The only reason you consider the actions assholish is because you perceive yourself having fun playing out a game you know you lost all the way through without consideration towards the other players fun. In other words, you only care about your own fun and that's the only reason you can call others an asshole for not having fun.
>>44429876
any more story to this gif? other than the obvious?
>>44477403
It was a staged skit. The guy on the left is a youtuber.
>>44477403
>>44477447
The story is that the guy on the right has clearly won the game at this point, and will finish him off this turn, but is meticulously going through the motions of his upkeep and playing cards before his attack step, in case the other player secretly has a spell to turn the game around(which he clearly doesn't).
>>44477205
>It's the same reason why everyone here, when playing a tabletop game such as D&D or GURPs or Shadowrun will ask you to leave when you having fun becomes disruptive to the group having fun.
Yes. But we have no qualms pointing out when the poster is, in actuality, just being an autistic sensitive little shit about his fun being "disrupted".
And we frequently do. Thus, this conversation y'all are having.
>>44477676
Nah, I just think it's more along the lines of /tg/'s not-so-recent habit of "No, John, YOU are the That Guy" posting. I mean, from our side of the encounter, we have a guy going "Jeez, just hurry the fuck up I'm not having fun. PLEASE DO THINGS", but from the otherside, we also have "I literally don't care you are no longer having fun with this, because *I* want to be the one having fun", or he didn't pick up on the social queues that the guy he was playing wasn't having fun, which would actually make him the more autistic one.
>>44464460
oh look i've spotted the kingmaker in the thread
>>44463555
i played cards against humanity recently. one of the players was a prissy coworker who didnt wanna play cause shes kind of dumb. so instead of ragequitting she got worse and worse at reading the cards, as in mumbling out her answers and questions. game ended before it got too bad but im pretty sure it was intentional.
its ok, though, cause the host is another girl who hates her, so the host gave teh girl in question a gag gift. a little tube of "conversation starter topic" cards that implied she is dumb. i doubt she got the dig, and the host admitted to me in text later that the gift was an intentional dig.
>womyn
>>44479806
oh look I've the whiney cunt who thinks that spending all his resources or targeting a weaker player to force him out of competition for 1st is outplaying him.
>any tactic can be civil
>coming in 2nd is better than 3rd is better than 4th
Yeah, no shit I'll use kingmaker tactics to come in 2nd over 3rd or 4th or any place over dead last. There's literally no shame in it.
>>44468519
Yes, and in reference of the movie "War Games", the only winning move is not to play. Which is what that Anon said. You idiot.

I signed off after that second session.He's the type of person who needs permanent attention. Whenever nothing is happening in his life he invents some drama on twitter to get people to pat him on the back.
Pic related he's friend with the trans who draws this shit.
