Looks like I ended up playing the SAME DE player Blackmoor did and the guy was pretty much the same.<br /><br />I called him on a few things but the thing is that early on you try to be nice and let little things slide but then it all adds up in the end when he tries some major crazy stuff (especially regarding slow playing at the end of the game-its like he slow plays the slow play ala poker hand tactics).<br /><br />If anyone cares, they can read about him in my blog but man, some people just kind of sneak up on you and you don't expect this sort of thing. It really comes down to the judges needing to have a handle on this sort of stuff IMO.Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583045363394027916.post-3167603000275734932011-09-21T07:14:19.116-07:002011-09-21T07:14:19.116-07:00Don't let yourself be bullied.

Even if you didn't care about winning it, you might have taught the DE player a lesson, and he might not try pulling off those kinds of stunts at future events. <br /><br />Cheers on your placing though!thePhoenixThreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095638422272559240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583045363394027916.post-4906699017934694202011-09-18T18:56:39.721-07:002011-09-18T18:56:39.721-07:00I do not even understand how people can blatantly ...I do not even understand how people can blatantly cheat their opponent and then feel okay about it.

Where I played (Game Empire Pasadena) they didn't let anyone without a printed copy play and they said that if you do not finish at least 5 turns by the end of the game you get 0 points and the game doesn't count-They had judges going around telling everyone what turn they should be on and if someone wasn't they would sit there and watch and make sure they hurried up. I think those things really kept things moving along.<br /><br />Also, it really is up to you to call people on rules issues/things and just get a judge and have him deal with it, that's what I'd do. I had an issue with my first round opponent (by the way he was really nice and not trying to cheat IMO it was a simple rules thing so not trying to defame him or anything) who tried to shoot the embarked unit from the turret hatch instead of the back hatch and a judge came over and told him no so that was that, we moved on and no big deal (it was kind of important because the front hatch was in range of my harlequins but not the back haha).<br /><br />Anyway, don't be a push over-if something irks you call the player out on it in a nice way and call a judge over to deal with it =). Good luck in the finals Allan, I hope they host it in the LA area instead of norcal this time!Yrielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953842551991627206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583045363394027916.post-64088399422103197482011-09-18T16:47:49.087-07:002011-09-18T16:47:49.087-07:00Sorry that happened Blackmoor.

We had a few games with shenanigans like this but luckily they were all at the low to mid range tables after round 1 so the top tables weren't affected. I had 2 opponents not supply me with lists. So I made an annoyance out of myself by constantly asking what was in what transports, at least I nor he ever forgot!OverwatchCNChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195929692558427156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583045363394027916.post-14398844689193912912011-09-18T16:29:12.554-07:002011-09-18T16:29:12.554-07:00Same on my third game Blackmoor.

Ork players with a handwritten list, who slow played and even had the balls when he heard 19 minutes left to take over 5 minutes to move 1 battlewagon and not move 6 lootas. He then decided not to bring his 30 mob on from reserve and tried to call the game. Fortunately the head judge had been watching him due to others complaining about him and ruled we could finish turn 4. The douche lost by massacre. I should have tabled him just for kickers but I didn't. Hope to see you at the finals.Spaguatyrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09459803772469387289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5583045363394027916.post-43129443423122540862011-09-18T16:19:57.620-07:002011-09-18T16:19:57.620-07:00Yarp.
