So something came up at the tourny last week that i wasn't sure how to handle. my second game made me want to beat the guy i was playing with the rulebook he didn't have.
-he didn't have a rulebook
-he was sharing a codex with someone on another table
-he didn't know the rules of his army
-he had to use MY dice because he didn't have any
-he would move his first model 6" then every other model past that point
-constantly questioned rules (assaulting through one unit to hit another 3" behind it...)
-putting his models on top of mine
-claiming that tyranids are overpowered every turn when i did what i had to to kill things (aka moving a battlewagon within 18" of a zoanthrope brood)
-moving squads then moving them back then moving them then moving them back
-questioning the fact i count the number of wounds a model has taken rather than how many are remaining
-and after finding out that we had 15m til the games weren't going any longer he tried to delay it so we couldn't finish the turn so he could win by default

so rant is over and now the question arises. how do you deal with someone like this? i didn't want to be a (censor) because it seemed like he was trying to learn the game and it appeared like he was friends with the people running the event yet at the same time i wanted to break something at the end of the game.

I think I played that kid a few times back as well.. the best was him using my dice while eating a nice mayo dripping sandwich. I pulled out a bunch of extra from by box to use so I didnt have to grease myself up as well.

I wont relay my story, but it wasn't fun and I did talk to Ben about it. That was pretty bad though.. that sound slike Cam's experience. He put his Daemon prince with a lash on the table.. and the guys, like.. Oh, a prince with a lash.. well, thats 0 for sportsmanship and army comp and filled his form out. Keep in mind this was before the first turn even happened.. how do you play a nice game against a guy who just gave you a 0 for sportsmanship?

I only have a couple experiences like that over the years though.. for the most part though Id say 95% of my tourney games have been great.

Well how I would handle that in somewhere like PA is delivering a dirty beat down in the parking lot. In a respectable city though you can't do that because they have enough cops that they would arrest you for assault, however I wouldn't play someone in a tournament who doesn't have their own tape, codex, list, dice. In the league, I'll share whatever and even at a tourney I'd share templates, but no =I=censor=I= way am I sharing my dice or tape, and if he can't produce an army list at my request or at the bare minimum a codex I'm not deploying. Fun's fun but tournaments are supposed to be competitive and provide that edge and challenge that regular relaxed games do not, if you don't know how to play 40k then stick to the sidelines in a tournament.

Hmmmm, I'll look into this little issue here. Having the required materials is, well, required for that very reason. Anders is our "new guy" and isn't at the club all that often. Seems he's a pretty competitive fella as well. If I'd known he didn't have his basic supplies, he would have been docked a few extra points for that. This was his first tourney I think though. Not that that is an excuse for poor behavior, of course

I can understand some of that in friendly games, but at a tournament? Not knowing your army, no dice/ruelbook/codex, etc, etc...

And here I am avoiding tournies simply b/c my army isn't painted.
