Annoying your opponent, getting out of a game and More!

Post by Lord hell-kurran »

at the start of the game place your general next to a tree. Yell "I told you to do that before the battle!"

place a hammer on the table, suggest iron man rules

1. Discuss all tactical decisions with a hand-puppet during the course of the battle.

2. Make up odd or obviously false rules and state them during the battle. Try to see how much of the time you can get your opponent to look them up to see if they are true. See how many times he believes you.

3. Try to bribe the opponents general onto coming to your side during the battle. Say you don't know what he is talking about when your opponent brings asks what your doing.

4. "accidentily" knock over the table when losing.

5. Bring full medevil weaponry to the battle. Start yelling when your opponent makes a good tactical move.

6. Crawl under the table and hit it from below and claim "The gods are angry with your move!"

7. Don't shower for a month before the battle.

8. When you start to lose start moving and controlling the opponents forces. When he asks what your doing pretend you were controlling his army the entire time.

9. Make your opponent roll your dice and yell at him when they are bad.

10. Pretend to put a hex on your opponent before the battle.

11. Play horribly. Claim everything is going to plan as you are getting beaten. Then when it is turn six pretend to answer the phone and say your boss has an emergency and you have to go into work. Say it is too bad you didn't get to finish the match and consider it a draw. Leave before your opponent can object.

12. Pick up your dice right after you roll them. "Mysteriously" get high rolls all the time, except for leadership tests.

13. When your opponent is gone measure stuff and move it so it is just out of charge range before his turn. When he asks if you will let it slide say that it is impossible for the troops to go that extra distance.

14. When you are several inches off the charge move your models up anyways and claim that the gods gave them extra strength.

15. Place the family pet on the table and claim it is a god. Get it to run over your opponents models and claim they are casualties.

16. Use a dispel scroll for every spell your opponent casts. Even if you don't have one. After the battle or during it when he asks to see your list give it too him and say 'you forgot' that you didn't have 20 dispel scrolls but it is too late now and to keep playing.

17. Ask for a rules clarification on everything your opponent does.

18. Start eating soup or spaggetti on the table top during a battle. Preferably closer to the opponents models.

19. Bring models from several armies and use completely different rules for them. Ask your opponent where it says you can't in the rulebook when he asks you about it.

20. Slowly remove your opponents models from the tabletop.
21. replace your opponents minis with minis from other games when he isnt looking.

22. Pastel Paint scheme.

23. Have two friends talk like sports announcers during the battle.

24. never charge, always flee.

25. models your minis after famous french armies, after the first turn surrender.

26. turn your opponents models so they are facing the opposite direction

27. give every model middle eastern names going back twenty generations. refer to them in their full names.

28. On the first turn, put as many of your opponents dice in your mouth as will fit and then mix it with the rest.

29. "forget" your army book and claim you know all the rules, and of course guess a little higher than the normal stats.

30. slowly add extra models that were casualties back in to the squad when the opponent isnt looking.

31. do "foot of doom" when you start to lose, but not on spears.
32. Play an army without buying the army book.
33. Take minimum size NG units with maximum fanatics and netters

34. Huge squig herd, with maximum squig to herder ratio. Flee as soon as you can

35. Dramatic interpretation of gorks warpath, all over your opponents model

36. Headbutt your opponent everytime you successfully cast eadbutt, if he asks, tell him it was just a manifestation of the gods (good with the itty ring as well)

37. Make your opponent test for animosity at the start of every turn, even if he does not use O&G. Explain that his troops look a little unhappy with their lot and may riot.
38. Use the 5th Ed VC army book for stats and look innocent when your Vampire lord rampages through the enemy.
39. Accidently forget to bring your flame template. As a substitute use a lighter and an aerosol can.
40. Bring a hand puppet. Question it constantly as to what is the best course of action.
41. Bring a small model coffin with undertakers. Everytime a model dies, escort it off the battlefield and give it model funeral. Remember to hum the funeral theme tune.
42. Bring a falsified rulebook ( hours of fun ).
43. Shave your head. Paint your skin green. Wear a nose ring. Grunt a lot.
44. Flip a coin at the start of the game. After observing the outcome, claim that you have won the game. Look upset if your opponent denies this. Sulk.
45. Bring 20 printed pages of notes and intellectual-looking glasses. Refuse to let your opponent look at them. Refer to them throughout the game. Speak aloud as you read- "he's gone there, so contingency plan 8a means that I should..."
46. Insist opponent rolls all your dice for you. Complain and insult your opponent if you get any bad rolls.
47. Before the game, do a little dance and motion to the gods. Curse your opponent dramatically.
48. Arrive before your opponent. Set up your army and then take the other side of the table. Act as if you are expecting to play with your opponent's army.
49. Add a spring loading system to your cannon. Bring lots of ball bearings.
50. Bring a plastic kid's sword and 'challenge' your opponent. If he refuses, claim you have won the game through his forfeit.
51. Play dead if your general dies.
52. Bring a Land-raider model from 40K. Leave it sitting conspicuously on your side of the table. Make cryptic references to the power of laser cannon in WHFB.
53. Complain that you don't think you can trust your hero.
54. Act as if you are a sports commentator. Commentate on the game. Incessantly.
55. Ask politely if your opponent wouldn't kill your general. Explain that its his birthday.
56. Bring a smoke machine. Insist on recreating the "fog of war".
57. Sacrifice a goblin to Mork before the game. Saw off its head with a craft knife. Arrange models in a diorama in the middle of the battle. Take photos for a "battle report."
58. Sharpen your goblins' spears before the game with a craft knife. Grin widely.
59. Cackle diabolically. "The World is mine! Nothing can stop me now!"
60. State before the game that you are playing for the title of the champion of the universe.
61. Feel the personal loss of every soldier. "Alas, poor Yorrick, I knew him well." Lament the woes of war loudly.
62. Faint when a model dies.
63. Add sound FX. Kaboom!
64. Ask if you can have TV rights to the game.
65. Just to surprise your opponent, agree amicably with and compliment your opponent!
66. Declare that you are opposed to the senseless destruction of our forests. Refuse to let him kill your treemen. Refuse to let him move through woods.
67. Insist on a lunch break for your troops. Bring a model Mr. Whippy Van.
68. Explain that you are a pacifist. Call off the game immediately.
69. Order your miniatures in your best Sergeant-Major voice. "Quick march, on the double- hut!"
70. Ask if your opponent is opposed to nuclear warfare.
71. Carry a small spherical device.
72. Wear a crown. Say that you are the "Lord of the Galaxy". Get a horde of admirers to cheer you on.
73. Bring a stuffed, shaved poodle. Say it is your mascot.
74. Grow a Hitler moustache and wear a swastika. 'Discipline' your troops if they fail to salute you.
75. Cheer on your miniatures.
76. Hide under the table at the start of the game. Make your opponent drag you out. Speak in a nervous whisper. Confide in him that you are scared of his troops.
77. Leave a false army list lying around. Snatch it back angrily if your opponent starts to read it, but leave it visible.
78. Pull out an ace surreptitiously ( but obviously ) from your sleeve during the magic phase. Look pleased. Try to play it.
79. Keep a deck of Magic the Gathering cards handy. When you are told it is "the magic phase" bring out the cards and start to shuffle them. Ask if he wants to cut your deck.
80. Speak in Skaven. Neek- Neek!
81. Tell him you've brought weighted dice. Complain about the uselessness of modern technology when you start to roll ones.
82. Bring a lamp. Rub it and make three wishes before the game. Look at your opponent accusingly if they don't immediately come true.
83. Ask what year it is. Ask where you are. Ask what game you are going to play. If he says warhammer, bring out an antique mallet and hit him with it. Smile a corny grin.
84. Make references to a spy/traitor in his army.
85. Don't place your wizard on the board at the start of the game. At the end of your deployment, use a small explosive device to create a smoke screen and place down the wizard behind it while you yell, "poof!". When the smoke dissipates, say, "Tadaa!"
86. Have a history written for every trooper. Start a family feud.
87. Pour cheese sauce all over your opponent's army. Complain that it is cheesy.
88. Come with an army painted completely flora purple. Wear dark glasses.
89. Attempt to bribe your opponent's characters. Turn away quickly if your opponent looks at you questioningly. Deny everything.

GETTING OUT OF A GAME

Ask opponent if he/she would like a drink and while you are getting their drink, slip some laxatives into it.
Look at your watch and say, "Oh no! It's time for grandma's spongebath!" Pack up your army and leave quickly.
When your opponent makes his next move, shake your head and say, "what the heck are you doing? You can't do that!" When an argument follows, lift your nose in the air and yell "FINE!" while on your way out.
Say your mage has also practiced necromency and revive units that were lost.
Say, "I gotta go, I'm parked at a meter!"
Try using all of these ways to annoy your opponent at the same time.
(This works opposite of #1) Make strained faces and say, "sorry man, but I GOTTA GO, if you know what I mean." While going to the 'bathroom', jump into your car and leave. How u get your army back is a differnt story....
Start talking about something you and your opponent both like but doesn't have anything to do with WHFB.
Take out your cell phone and act like you're talking to your doctor. When you hang up, say in a sad voice, "I'm sorry to say, I have been diagnosed with Cantplaywhfb. Up to now, there is no cure." If he says your phone didn't ring, just say you had it set on vibrator.
If there is a stereo nearby, turn it on to a rock station and turn it all the way up. Start jumping up and down like an idiot and while your opponent is turning it off, take a 'few' of his models off of the table.
Remark that the game isn't fair because you just concluded another game and your forces are tired. Point out that you WON that game.
Pretend to be caught up in the gaming excitement and act out the hacking and slashing that just occurred. Expertly swing your arm roughly through your opponent's special characters and heroes pretending to be wielding a sword. With his most powerful units vanquished by the gods of clumsiness, he or she will most likely concede and give in. If not and they demand that you reimburse them for the damages; it will give you the incentive to get the heck outta there anyway!
Take extremely long durations of time to calculate your next move. Point out that a good general weighs "each and every" option before moving too boldly. Your opponents will either give in of boredom, or time will run out.
Remark suddenly that you were primering miniatures on your porch (garage works here too) and left the door open! Thievery is a bad bad thing!
STEAL your opponent's models off the table very slowly... one by one... and then there were none.
Steal one of your own models and claim in an outrage that your opponent is stealing to achieve victory. Collect your army and storm out in an uproar.
Look at your watch and announce that at this very minute, Games Workshop was scheduled to release the next edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, and thus the rules have changed and the game is hence fraudulent.
Declare that all the primering you did earlier in the day has given you asphyxiation and massive migraines, affecting your ability to play straight. You'd better go home and rest.
Claim you bought tickets for Lord of the Rings for the X (where X = any value greater than 1) time, and you REALLY need to be going.
Declare that the army you were fielding today wasn't your REAL army, merely your reserves and you just wanted to see how they would perform by giving them a test run. Offer your opponent a rematch, and play him again as soon as you can field another "reserve" army. If he asks in desperation to play your real army, tell him that they would far outpoint his army, so it wouldn't be fair.

If gamers havent done some of that then they havent been playing long enough and are simply noobs.
I have done most (although Emma keeps coming up with a few that i havent so thats a lie...) My challenge now is to do as many as i can at tournyments! I have a whole funeral procession made for when my genral dies at Conflict London next year. It includes a coffin that my genral actually does fit in...along with carriers, a priest, and so on...

Im ashamed that i have dont atleast half of those things. Yesterday I did the puppet act, my opponent could stop laughing, and he didnt even catch the fact that i was taking his units off the board! and I regularly make blood sacrifices to KHAINE not some pethetic chaos god. I asked my history teachor once to give us the history of the Dark Lord and he went off on a speel about some hitler guy, and then i asked him to explain the history of the ***** high elves and so he taked about norwegin mythology. Man is he screwed up on history.........
In my mind I envision a world without hate, malice, war. And then I see us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

There are 10 types of people in this world - Those who count in binary and those who dont


You do know that 10 in binary is 1, right? Another way of saying it is:

10. Pretend to put a hex on your opponent before the battle


For best results, do this in front of him. Show him where you stuck the pin.

Teach yourself the language of your army. Insist on only using this languages throughout the game. If he complains, tell him you're acting in chatacter.

Curse and swear and him in this language. Don't tell him what the words mean. It will drive him mad!

If you're playing a friend at his house, use your mobile to phone his land line under the table. When he goes to answer it move units, measure charge ranges and remove models.

If you're playing a friend at a store/ club, phone him on his mobile at a crucial point. Better still, get someone else to phone him and have a long conversation with him if you start to lose. When he's finished say "sorry, I have to be going no. Let's call it a draw"

Aaaah changing the rules is always a laugh, specially when all your friends are backing you up.

All tau guns are AP 3 right? heh heh heh.Also stealing his models/replacing ur own.

Finally I was in a little tournament once and because my opponent (who absalutley thrashed me) was 30 points over by accident, I called the whole match off.

Let me enlighten you on the workings of binary, although it's REALLY off topic. Here's how the numbers work for base x.

First column from the right: number of 1's
Second column from the right: number of x's
Third column from the right: number of (x^2)'s
etc.

So in base ten, the number 111 means that there is one 'one', one 'ten', and one 'ten-squared' (a hundred). In base 2, the number 111 means that there is one 'one', one 'two', and one 'two-squared' (four). The number is therefore 4 + 2 + 1 = 7, in binary.

Now here's the point. In base x,

1 = 01 = 001 = 0001 and so on.
10 = 010 = 0010 = 00010 and so on.

The number of zeroes preceding the first non-zero digit makes absolutely no difference. The number of zeroes AFTER the first non-zero digit tells you the value of the number. Therefore, it doesn't matter if you write it as 10, 010, 000000010 or 000000000000000000000000000000000000010, it's the exact same number. Including the 10 term. The only time the unnecessary zeros are mentioned is when there is some other custom. This usually exists in computer science - for instance, the encoding for a key on the keyboard is eight characters long (usually), and so the zeros are kept.

I hope that makes sense. Also, for the record, I had that quote in my signature first - it was my quote of the week about two or three weeks ago, and it's attributed to www.bash.org (although it's rather well known). So in fact they like both my old signature and Axus' current one. In fact, it's still my signature in the RPG forums (I haven't gotten around to changing it).
Goodbye.

In my mind I envision a world without hate, malice, war. And then I see us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

84. Make references to a spy/traitor in his army.


Won't he just say "no special characters" then?
