The most frustrated thing I've ever done with regards a BB game is well, moan about how unlucky I was afterwards!

Sorry no dice throwing or table tipping here. Guess I just have my emotions in check :P

Right, you're banned! Only Charlotte in future! :wink:

Currently an ex-Blood Bowl coach, most likely to be found dying to Armoured Skeletons in the frozen ruins of Felstad, or bleeding into the arena sands of Rome or burning rubber for Mars' entertainment.

But at Southern Shrike Bowl in 2011 I faced off against Nayfan's... well, I honestly can't remember what race they were. To start the game my opponent was three sheets to the wind and, while I'd had a couple of bevvies (many thanks to anc001, the brewer of note), I was nowhere near the inebriated wastrel facing me across the table. Within a half of play, however, it became clear that the game was to be one of those rare Nufflings that occur once in a generation, and I was not on the good side of the equation. By turn 8 I had decided that there was very little point in trying to beat him...

...so I decided to join him!

The game has gone down in SSB history as one of the loudest, most raucous, funniest encounters between two thoroughly embalmed (and not the undead kind) coaches. I can't remember much of the last half, nor the scoreline, but I lost both the game and a certain amount of dignity that day at the bottom of a plastic beer cup.

I did return the favour at the following 24 Hour Ironman tournament though! >:)
I am the TO for this tournament. I was also playing at the table right next to theirs. Damn they were loud and there was drunken smack talk aplenty from both players! :)

The funniest bit about it was that they were so drunk they filled out their scores incorrectly. It took them 3 verbal attempts between the two of them before I they could tell me the correct score (they were somehow sober enough to spot that their score was wrong when I put the match results up on the projector).

I was playing against my brother in law and he was playing norse I was using skaven. He was so frustrated that his snow troll kept failing his wild animal roll that he picked up the painted model and threw him from his living room into the kitchen with an overhand throw. The model had both of its arms broken off and put two large gouges into his kitchen cupboard where it hit. The game was a little awkward after that happened.

In future games we would keep the cardboard coin that came with the game and he would launch that when frustration hit. My coin is all mangled on the edges as he has thrown it many times.

Way back when I used to play Space Marine (AKA Epic 40K) and my mate regularly used to turn his big guns on his own troops if they displeased him with poor rolls.

It's still spoken of today even though that was probably 20 years ago.

I played a game of Space Marine where afterwards my friend shot his Phantom titan with an air rifle after a particularly poor game. £10 was quite a lot for a lump of lead in those days as well :)
