[QUOTE="JiffyPopTart, post: 3402932, member: 4881"] I have a couple decent ones.... 1. Warhammer 40k We didn't have a whole lot of people to choose from for our weekly games, so even through we didn't really care for X, we put up with him just to have more opponents at the table. He played Eldar. Really really really cheesy Eldar. He wasn't the best player. In one game, I had a Genestealer Cult army versus his Eldar cheezefest and soundly trounced him 2 games in a row. He started to complain about how the rules were unfair and how it was impossible for him to win. So, being neighborly I offered to trade armies for the third battle. I soundly trounced him a third time, this time with his own guys. In another game (and the last time we saw him) he had an Extra Cheesy Eldar army (normally at our point buy an army would have 25-30 figures on the table, more for low point armies) with only 6! people and NO vehicles. He probably had sunk about 90% of his points on one super beefed up commander that he was sure was invincable. His guy died in the first turn, prompting him to throw his army list on the table and shout WORTHLESS. He quit that game and I turned to everyone else and say "Does anybody else want to play Xs incredibly stupid and not-fun army?" Everyone said....Nope. X packed up his 6 figures, grabbed his books, and walked out without saying anything to anyone and never came back. 2. Diplomacy I ran a game of diplomacy at work...2 turns a week to promote deals and discussions. Right before the start the guy playing Germany quit and I had to get a temporary fill in. The fill in himself quit and I had to find another player to take over. Enter Bob. Bob was young, foolish, and full of himself. He was the self-described MASTER of Diplomacy and was certain he was going to get a full victory in 6-8 turns. Bob goes to all the other players and crafts this awesome plan of world domination turning everyone against each other. At least thats what he thougt. In reality, NOBODY (including myself) really liked Bob and all the other players had already made a pact that basically said...everyone takes one turn off and we utterly destroy Germany. Moves are turned in and Bob eagerly awaits the results, so he can see his glorious Germany expand. When I hand out the color coded maps the next day the black (germanys color) section of the map had entirely disappeard. Bob was flabbergasted at having been backstabbed worse than Caeser in March. He crumples up his map, throws it across the room and says "If you guys didn't want me to play, then you should have just said so!" DS [/QUOTE]
