Your worst game ever

Post by mattgslater »

What was the worst game you ever played, as a game?

What was your personal worst game of all time?

What was the worst outcome you ever ended up with or left someone with?

My worst game was at spikey a few years ago vs lucifer when I played really badly and still managed to win

it was hilarious

think my worst game was one of the time my vamps pld geggsters chaos, losing the line of scrimmage before i had a turn and failing pretty much everything, he probably thought it was hilarious

I've cleared the pitch a few times with my chaos dwarfs/undead before

course most the worst stuff for the opponent after the game was back in 3rd edition

I think most of you can probably top me on all counts.

1) I once had somebody flip the board. Of course, his models weren't painted. We're still friends; I'm trying to figure out what he can do to make amends (no way he's painting my models).

2) I've lost 0-3 twice, both against different Skaven teams: once with Orcs and once with Pro Elves. Both were pick-up games with one-off rookie teams. With the Orcs, it was a freaky fluke; his Skaven received against my Orcs and cas'ed out the whole line on turn 1, ended up 5-0 casualties, all in the first 4 turns. But the other time it was totally my fault. I left a Blitzer in a TZ so I could GFI with a Catcher to blitz and assist with the Blitzer. The Catcher rolled Nuffle's Teats on the GFI, and got BH'ed, and the Blitzer got BH'ed on the ensuing block. At 11-9 men, he was free to hammer on me. I made another silly mistake, and my other catcher got fouled out. My Thrower went SI on a double-skull that I used my last TRR to set up, and then I had one Blitzer and 6 linos, against a full-value Skaven team, with 13 turns to go. I still managed to hold him to 3, but I ended up with only one Comp and an MVP.

3) I killed a season once. :-? My opponent was Wood Elves, and they were 6-0 on the season (we did a partial reset each season, where each team would take some veterans and some rookies). This was in 1998, so fouls were worth SPP and there were no Journeymen. I killed two linemen in regulation, and forced the game to OT, where I fouled his ST4/Magic Helmet/Diving Tackle (old Diving Tackle) Wardancer to death. His 10-man team with one WD (with over 200 SPP in 3 seasons) showed up for the next opponent, also a big nasty Orc team by some fluke of scheduling, who niggled the superstar WD. He stayed away from the league, and so did his friends (1/3 of the coaches) until they were convinced that it was dead. We ran a fixed schedule, so this led to some nastiness.

I don't get why people do petty things like that cause their player got injured

When I played with my Norse team against orcs as a leagues first match. They killed 6 players.
And when I losed to halflings with my Nurgles. It was susch a shame. My team has two chaos warriors, two beastmens, beast of nurgle and 6 rotters. I losed 1-0.

almost every game I have played in the MBBL

the lack of real dice in my hands has led to some of the worst losses and stupid defeats in my history of playing the game....

There you go again, blaming the dice. Platonic solids are perfect in all ways, immediate and direct representations of the Form of the Good. Remember, whenever you look into the eyes of Nuffle, Nuffle looks back at you and smiles. Of the six common polyhedrals, only the d10, a fabrication of man, an act of violence against nature, a fettering of 2 and 3 into the more anthropomorphic 5, is imperfect, and even it is random.

"Those who curse the workings of the universe curse that which is deaf. Those who strike out at those workings fight that which in inviolate. Those who shake their fists, shake their fists at blind stars." -- Michael Moorcock, in the prologue to the Corum series.

But I totally know what you mean. :D

maybe we misunderstand each other, but I love dice and dice love me, whatever the game. as long as there is no money on it....

over the years I have been asked to burn/melt/destroy various dice as people thought they were warped/fixed somehow. needless to say I always volunteer to use theirs or let them use mine and continued the spree of 2+ rolls

You're right. I reread you and I misunderstood: you were talking about MBBL, and I somehow didn't get that. I still stand by what I say, even more in this case.

Worst Defeat

Post by mamapepe »

At AlbaBowl 2008 I lost 3-0 against Lucifers 16 man Snotling team. I was playing Undead.

He kicked to me and I caged up as people around me sniggered that I had forgotten his Wizard. Whoomf! One blast of the Wizards wand and half my team were stunned leaving a snotling to walk away with the ball unhindered.

His Diving Tackle snotling then caused me so much trouble - especially as 3 dice blocking snotlings without block or tackle was like trying to move an ocean with your bear hands - it got me nowhere!

I'm sure spectators can give a better account of the game than I can as I stopped watching the game early on!

I also believe it could be well up there as being voted for the single most worst game of BB ever.

Worst games...? Being on either side of a second half debacle where all of one team's players (or within a few and the other side if buff full) are pile-driven off the field for one reason or another.... :-?

Seen both sides of that on occasion....

Next worse... anytime both teams have a lot of guard... just trying to figure out the blocking schemes is torture.... :o

BUBBLE 2005: my Khemri lost 2-0 to halflings. Pouring rain, get the ref, multiple triple skulls... :cry:

league 2006: my halfling suffer a whopping 10 casualties at the hands of a 9-man dwarf team.

Eurobowl 2008: Game 6: 3 days of drinking lots of beer, very little sleep, a very good opponent and lots of 1's results in a 6-0 pasting by Fischerkings wood elves. My worst result ever I think.

The worst game ever was the Warhammer card game.

My worst game:
Bubble 2005: LRB 4 get the ref, had my dwarf team trashed by amazons. Was even wors than Borderbrawl 2007 where my wood elf team was cleared off the pitch by Khemri, at least that's supposed to happen.

Worst game for my opponent: A cup match in our LRB5 league last year where my Wood Elves managed an 8-0 walkover against some humans that they should actually have my elfs wet their pansy pants. This was a team with the AV8 treeman.
