Thats why I keep my armies as simple as possible with virtualy no fancy gadgets (mainly because I hate wasting points on wargear that I forget about).

Thats why I keep my armies as simple as possible with virtualy no fancy gadgets (mainly because I hate wasting points on wargear that I forget about). I do the exact same thing except. I have two different lists i run. The list i take to the local GW store is usually not complicated but tourny worthy. Then i have my I'm going to get drunk while I play list. Completely easy with no flair to it. Once the booze start flowing I have a bad habit of forgetting things. Jagermeister is my fav....also my arch enemy for 90% of my drunken loss's is due to him.

We had a rough one at the store I used to play at. No one would play with him except his brother and his best friend, and when they played he would cheat brutally and verbally berate them at the same time. I was the store manager back then so I would try to keep his verbal abuse to a minimum in order to not scare away potential players, but he'd still always manage to find some way to get everyone riled up. The guy played Dark Eldar and he was one of those "My army is the best EVER and no other army can defeat it" kind of guys. He'd do ridiculous stuff like charge his raiders all the way across the board and disembark and assault all in one turn. His friend and brother were too ill versed in the game to really know better. I finally started standing over their games and interfering, calling the guy out every time he cheated. That'd get him mad, but he wouldn't say anything to me because of my position of authority in the store. Best revenge came when I took a break from judging and played in a tournament. He deployed his Dark Eldar in the open, out of cover, right in front of my Guard gunline. I wiped the guy in two turns, I kid you not. It was sweet. I'd have kicked the guy out of the store for his attitude, but he one December spent almost $10,000 in inheritance money on 40k, so my mercenary side kept overruling my desire to see him gone.

thats the way to handle those, tell them when they cheat(remember to let other near know) then, when you play them, deny them cheating and kick their ass

Yeah, sure, let the brat blow his inheritance wad at your store. Not like he needs to learn that his actions have consequences, such as NOT BEING ABLE TO BUY AT YOUR STORE FOR BEING A JERKASS!
*pant pant pant* I hate children.

Oh, I wrestled with it, but if you ban one person from a store just for being a jerk, you've got to ban them all, and at as small of a store as I ran, it'd start getting thin on the ground. A lot of times gamers aren't known for their social skills. I didn't let the guy get away with being a jerk all the time, as I say, I pretty much became attached at his hip as a monitor after a while. I also don't know how I could explain to my owner that a guy came in offering me $10,000 in GW purchases, about a third of what we at time would pull in yearly in GW, and I refused because he was a jerk. I had employees salaries to pay, and food that needed to go on my plate, so there wasn't a lot that I could do from that standpoint. Scenarios like that are the reason I quit and finally got into teaching. Now I can at least throw the jerks out of my classroom (sometimes).
