Any issues were really ignored. You can see the post concerning the tournament organization that I posted last week. <br /><br />He has started arguments in previous tournaments also against members of our club as well. But since he is from another city, his club's rules and ours are different ( as are how we play, and how to act around each other ). <br /><br />All told, even almost 2 weeks later I regret even playing him and get upset at this game. Just means I will walk away next time, as it is like you state, not worth wasting my life and blood pressure on him. <br /><br />Upside.. the giant did great.. even when I tried to repeatedly get him killed :) Go figure!MrLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564055436566237661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195821792553315805.post-60039143254890285022012-04-12T20:19:44.025+01:002012-04-12T20:19:44.025+01:00Where was the T.O. in all of this?

This jerk is going to ruin the day of the 5 or 6 people he plays against, and sounds like others as well, even though he isn't playing them. <br /><br />A good T.O. has to realize this, and get Kantian about it: better to kick this guy out, ruin his day than ruin the day of many others. <br /><br />I've only experienced a couple tournament games with jerks like this or other weird things. Like the guy who almost started crying when I his army was losing. Yikes, that was a whole lot of weird. <br /><br />If the guy came with a friend, maybe someone should explain it to his friend, see if he can get through to the guy. But from the sound of it, I can't imagine he has a friend. <br /><br />Such a bad situation when stuck playing someone like that. Do you just throw the game, concede and say 'you win, I'm not wasting my life & blood pressure -it isn't worth it" do you attack back and crush him? No way in hell I'd let this guy walk up to my game when playing someone else and start brow beating in. <br /><br />What a nightmare. Well, congrats to the giant! ;)Laughing Ferrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649878935225675051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195821792553315805.post-51873307321726772152012-04-12T11:44:26.718+01:002012-04-12T11:44:26.718+01:00Thanks Fran.. was told that a few times at the con...Thanks Fran.. was told that a few times at the convention also.. really killed the tournament for me.. was not the best finish to a day of gaming..MrLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11564055436566237661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195821792553315805.post-90858260595095914612012-04-12T10:46:06.867+01:002012-04-12T10:46:06.867+01:00I feel your pain sir and you are a better man than...I feel your pain sir and you are a better man than me as I would have kicked him in the crackers probably, you're a gentleman sir!The Angry Lurkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227314379603418332noreply@blogger.com
