[QUOTE="wingsandsword, post: 2469582, member: 14159"] "Metagamer" is fighting words among some gamers I know. "Power Gamer" and "Rules Lawyer" are pretty insulting to a lot of people. I know I would be offended if somebody implied that all I cared about was a powerful character and abusing and twisting the rules. "Monty Haul" is an old insult, but I just don't hear it used anymore. Of course, I don't know any Monty Haul DM's, so that's probably why. "3tard" is one people try. I find it insulting, but it also makes the person saying it sound foolish, like false wit. Since I'm a larper as well as at tabletop person, yes, some people look down their noses at larpers and try and say "larper" like it's an insult. Personally, I find it amusing since many people treat them the same way for playing a tabletop game, and I've known a few larpers who refused to "lower themselves" to the level of playing a tabletop game. "Cheater" isn't an insult, that's an outright challenge. Just flat out accusing somebody of cheating (a player of fudging dice rolls, casting spells or using items he doesn't have, or so on, is a quick way to very bad things) [/QUOTE]
