Greatest Insult to a D&D PLAYER (OOC)

[Pbartender]

I just open my wallet and show them my minister's credentials. When their jaws drop, I just smile and walk away.

(Yes, I was an ordained minister, but I do not preach anymore.)

Heh... Years ago, I had a next-door neighbor who was a practicing ordained minister. He played an awful lot of D&D and M:tG. He came up with a great Chaotic Neutral Half-orc Barbarian for one of my games. Too bad he moved back to Baltimore... Now, he's the head pastor at Sid Meyer's church.

Edit: Besides, why worship a loser like Lucifer when you can be a minion of Cthulu?

Wouldn't that be Hors D'oeuvres of Cthulhu?

"We have a lot more fun when you don't show up."

I used this one not too long ago. It was like we had shot him in the stomach.

I've been called "gamer-nazi" . And not with just D&D.
I just prefer that someone keep things in-line or else things get all FUBAR'ed.

3etard I've never heard before. Sounds like something someone would say who can't understand that people don't necessarily think like they think, do what they do, or have fun the way they have fun.

Cheater would be the worst insult I could imagine.

Any of the other comments made by folks who don't game and don't / won't try to understand it is water off a duck's back; I've heard it all in the 28 years I've been a gamer. It used to sting a bit when my wife would sigh and say "When are you going to grow up?" Then she found out my father collects Tonka trucks and finally realized it's genetic

I have been called a rules-lawyer and a meta-gamer and (not in so many words, but this was the idea) someone who can "break a system". That don't bother me, oddly. If I can break a system that easily, then it is a crummy system.

But it would be far worse to be called a cheater. To me, at least.

But if I were called an Otaku, in that Japanese "like that guy that kidnapped, raped and murdered little girls" sense, I would hit the roof. So I guess that would be the worst insult.

I think it's on the same level as n00b. Uttered by idiots who play at being funny. Best replay is "so you want to make Counter-Strike d20"? and start riduculing them until they run away crying.

n00b isn't an insult to a n00b necessarily. it would be if directed as someone who had been around a while. so calling Crothian a n00b for a post on a thread may mean the person is trying to insult Crothian. or it may mean he knows him well enough that they both laugh.

calling a real D&D player a 3etard would be an insult to the D&D player. cuz to them d02 ain't D&D.

"beta-tester" - It's an insult to real D&D players, meaning they're stuck in an early edition mindset, and can't handle the upgrade to the full version of D&D [current edition].

I think the worst insults are those coming from and directed to the various editions of D&D. Players of earlier editions insulting Players of the current edition, or Players of the current edition insulting Players of earlier editions.

It's like insulting someone in your family.

Like cousins saying, "Your father is a drunk." "Well, your mother is loose."

Or brothers saying, "Dad always liked me better." "Well, granddad set up a college fund for *me*."

We're all part of the same damn family. Love one another.

Rules-Lawyer!

You're more annoying than a #@&%$£$ kender.

That one got slung at someone I gamed with. Wasn't an unfair comment, but they didn't take it well.
