Your Gaming Pet Peeves

Smoke breaks is another one. Need a cig at the top of 4 in a game that's going long? Sure I understand that. Need one at the top of every turn? Seriously?

Ahhh those were the days. Smoking at the table, happy times........

What bugs me isn't only when they get up to go have a smoke, its when they finally come back and decide they need a soda and a snack after their smoke. Geez, comon' what are you smkoing?

hummmm... alot of good posts. but here is my two:

- because i'm the 'carebear' gamer who is basically there to get in a game, i don't show up to vet nights to constantly teach the new guys. i don't mind a teaching game once and a while, heck it helps get new people into the hobby, but to do it for a few months (3 months of Thursdays, stopped going for a while after that) is a real pain.

- my other pain in my head is the constant theoryhammer and mathhammer that folks spout out. yes it is nice to sit and figure out things buy rolling a few dice, (playing out things as they may happen), but to spout out stats to define what will happen in a game is nonsense. i will roll a lot of armour saves, and all my lascannons will leave their batteries at home.

I have a running dialog in my group with a player who vehemently believes that no ork army has ever and will ever defeat any space marine army ever no matter the circumstances. I try to use math hammer and theory to show him how it works.

Then I play a game with his army, beating a space marine player. It's really getting kind of frustrating... like talking to people on the internet who invest themselves in an opinion so strongly that no fact and logic will budge it.

Theory/Math have their places, but it isn't everything about a game. To many people just talk in circles, ignoring the math that is inconvenient for them.

Too true, soo many times I have seen this happen... Ignoring the math that doesn't work in their favour.

Hey, my whole army is gunmetal grey. Of course, we're Grey Knights, so that's how we're supposed to look .

I've discovered the hate of netlists.

Everyone at my local club is now bringing lists they found online instead of coming up with something of their own. Are we playing magic all the sudden?

[Miggidy Mack]

Better than the people who don't bring army lists and expect you to just trust them.

Then they won't mark what's in transports... so you have to keep asking.
