Wrong. A power game is one who maxes out the things he got regardless of every background and human sense.
Just look at power gamers at RPGs. They create a character like everyone else and have to follow the rules of the game master like everyone else. Just are their characters maxed out to highest possible skills for killing opponents. Just that those power gamers normally have weak spots. A power gamer fighter will always fail in society. And you can normally counter tabletop powergamers as well at some point.

About the whole, "power gamers normally have weak spots."
Absolutely. 'Tis true. But unless your list is already prepared to exploit that weak spot, you still lose FAR more often than win against a power gamer. To get a half-decent chance of a draw or winning, you end up having to meta-game.
Examples are a balanced or fluffy (pick any force) list vs., say, an Eldar all-Pathfinder Rangers list w/3 Wraithlords. Yea, his list is a one-tactic wonder, kill and pin, kill and pin, Wraithlords handle the vehicles. But unless your "balanced" list is already prepared ahead of time with either mucho vehilces to overwhelm the Wraithlords, bombardment (to have ANY effect on his increased Pathfinder saves when even near cover) or deep strikers in quantity to waylay a few Pathfinder squads to try and hamstring the inevitable multiple pinning tests per turn, you ain't gonna do a whole lot.
I had a little fun with my Daemonhunters against his list because Grey Knights don't pin, and can have as many as 8 deepstriking units in a game, but I still lost with spades and it definately was NOT my normal fluffy list... I only played it because I knew he ALWAYS played that same Eldar list.
Now he's got an all-jump Assaulting Blood Angels army... and it is hard as hell to do anything against when taking a balanced list.
I don't ask for much... I don't want, "to crush my enemies, to see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentations of their women," I just want a half-decent chance of winning at the start and let tactics and fate of the dice decide.

AMEN I dont know why but I think of inderpendance day when ever i see a power gamer why becouse they go to win with out thought for fairness and they will almost always get triped up and baterd at some point like in ID aliens show up blast the spices back onto its heals we try to fight back but vcaint get threw there defences even using nucks we fail agisnt there defences. however we find a flaw in there plan exsploit it then we exsploit there destructability and probley the best air combat fight sqeance ever done is shown ^^

Agreed. (Strange, first I agree with Mabus and now I agree with Jon for the 2nd time...) And the music ("The Day We Fight Back") is awesome. by accident it was running when I read the final battle in "Double Eagle"...
