Topic: Annoying in-game habits

[Boss_Bannednutz]

You could give your poison sac nids special markings.

Even Monarch Butterflies are colorful.

Wanting you to flee is the least consideration a 'nid would have...he wants you to stay put so he can reach you as soon as possible....

NOTICE

Once again off topic....

Get it on track and keep it there guys, or this will end by other means.

turtling or castling does annoy me though this is a tactic not a habit it would be twice as annoying if someone made it a habit.

I hate it when people fly through their turn without telling me what they're doing.

Slow down! Tell me what you're doing! What are you rolling? Why are you rolling it?

I talk out my turn. People may find that irritating, but at least they know I'm not hiding anything.

[Blackveil]

i know it isn't really a problem, but i was playing aganist Ig once and he was doing a whole bunch of orders, and i had no0 clue what he was doing.

[Bert_the_Turtle]

I think that's more of a general problem than just IG Orders. I think that goes for anyone just doing stuff without telling you what it is they're doing.

"Wait, what do you mean my guys are Doomed? What's Fortune?"

"How're you moving my guys out of cover into range of all your tanks?"

"Why did my Commander just turn into a Squig?"

Explain what you're doing! Especially if you have a new Codex!

I almost always ask people I play if they are familiar with eldar. If they are then there is no explanation, if not then I break down all the powers and what not before the game.

Yeah, that happens a lot in the team games at the local GW. You'll be standing at one end of the table watching someone's rolls against one of your Boyz mobs, then someone will come over from the other end of the board and give you a handful of dice saying 'make x saves on your Nobz'. I appreciate that multiple players makes things drag, and some people just want to speed the turns up, but at least wait for me to be watching when you're shooting at me!

@Eidolon:

Good man! I think~ ^^


Absolutely. There's no excuse for keeping your opponent ignorant of those sorts of things. There's too many special rules and powers across too many codexes to do that.

[Lt_PliskinAJ]

Turtling? Could you elaborate on that, from the sounds of things it's literally staying on one side of the board and not making any attempt at utlising tactics or any of that stuff. Am i close? As an old school Space Wolf player, i'm used to that.

That is exactly it. It is a tactic but I have seen it as a habit. I do not mind seeing it occasionally when it makes sence but all the time is the worst.

I really hate it when someone claims something is unfair midway through a game, and just packs their stuff and leaves. I just want to smack them. And for the stupidest things too, like their General dying turn two, or them missing all their shots for a small unit one shooting phase. Really, really annoying.

yeah  i had someone leave during an apocalypse game thankfuly there was another player there to take his place his tactics worked better in the game for us he took out a war hound with a few dreadnaugts he dropped in to the enemy deployment zone but this time i don't blame the guy he got a building dropped on top of his eldar

Would you care to clarify that? How did they cause you to start late?

I don't mean to be combative, but as a former redshirt I find your attitude toward people who are just doing their job rather aggravating. I don't see how telling you that your time is running out can be considered incompetent. Was this near to closing time, or were there more people waiting for a table to play? I mean, I wouldn't have moved someone off a table without good reason, I don't see why other redshirts would do any different.

My apologies, I was in a rather foul mood, and that incident actually just concerned 1 redshirt who was being quite frankly a dick with the gaming times.

another annoying habit, spectators predicting a roll and it actually happens. For example, someone interupting the game with, "Its a 1." Guess what I roll?

Lol sounds like you're a bit sensitive. That's half the fun of a game, calling it before they roll it. Then you can go "YES! MY LONE NOB TELLS KHARNE AND THE OTHER ZERK SQUAD TO EAT amphetamine parrot AND beslubber off!"

[Neostrider]

that's fun and all, but I think someone else coming over and calling my roll a failure or my opponents roll a success would be a bit uncalled for.  We all know the person has no actual affect on the roll but when it happens its so easy to blame that person.

I hate players who say I didn't do something that I did.  I had a tournament where my opponent left during my turn, and when he came back claimed I didn't do doom because he didn't see it.  We had to roll for it because he didn't stay to watch.  Why was I punished? no idea.

lol your probably right. moving on...

It amphetamine parrots me when my opponent sits there umming and ahhing for about 20 minutes, without doing anything. Planning is important and i can respect that, but some people take WAY too long. And well, i get bored. Plan during my turn please.
