1.) Use BROWN tokens to show movement and push...It looks like they are fighting in a cow pasture!

2.) Borrow another players clix ring and then show off your new MW nosering...players don't like having to clean those things off!

3.) Don't approach the BM and while asking a question call in a stink round that hovers after you leave...I promise you won't get fellowship for that one!

4.) Don't load up your WizKids issued ruler with peasant ifantry and use them as an old fashioned "David and Goliath" slingshot...BM's will take only so much of getting pinged in the back of the head with BR peasants (Highlanders tend to thump more!)

5.) Just becasue Spiders look like they have wings...they cannot fly!

6.) Even if you DO want to show support for your Highlander forces...showing off your BUM before the game is absolutely NOT allowed!

7.) NO...it is not cool to move his push tokens around and play with his heat dial while he's in the bathroom!

8.) Do not booby trap the toilet by putting infantry under the seat...when someone sits down and those things fly out it could leave a whelp on the back of someones leg!

9.) Please don't call the Asian kid a "Dirty Capellan" this is unacceptable...this is how WK slingshot fights start!

10.) If the BM goes out for a smoke or to talk to a parent...do not replace the Awards with ICE Mechs...he/she's NOT going to be happy!!!

LOL! Man that's so funny!

DIRTY CAPELLAN (except I can say that because I am asian, nyaaaa!)
Another tip, dont try stealing his Arnises or his drink.

And don't try to convince to him that because you captured his Arnis during the game it is now yours! :)

i always ask the asian guy that i play MW
with math problen's mid game almost as bad as calling them dirty cappelian

11) Don't 'nudge' your opponents unit slightly closer so you can hit them.

12) Don't toss the prizes ('Stop tossing the Griffin!')

Another thing NOT to do during a Mechwarrior game is expect your Highlanders to actually WIN....

I can say that as I play highlanders...


if I play another faction, then I win... ususally.

I can win with Highlanders at least.

11.) Don't bring your laptop to the venue's "MechWarrior Kid's Match" session and turn on some cute PC game... the fledgling MechWarriors will all forget about their miniatures and congregate around the laptop, annoying the BM, the venue owner and the various parents who brought their kids to get them interested in MWDA.

12.) Don't play around with your opponent's 'Mech during a game, twisting its arms and torso around while providing what you think are "cool sound effects"... this will really irritate your opponent and may, in extreme cases, get you punched in the nose.

13.) If you're using a tape measure with a spring recoil mechanism, be careful not to let it catch on a piece when you release the tape... doing so can result in the piece being flung across the room and shattering against the wall or flipping over onto another table and upsetting the pieces of another game that's in session (typically angering the players of the other game).

[[ Have actually seen each of these 'transgressions' occur during match play... in some cases, repeatedly. ]]

14) Don't bring your awesome looking mother to tournaments. Its to distracting to us old guys.

PS- It happened to me last weekend and cost me the tournament.

1.) Do not pour out your soda on a gameboard because you quickly need a place for your Swordsworn mech to turtle...bad...VERY bad!

2.) Making siren noises or bringing a device to do so while moving your MASH unit into place is completely unnecessary!

3.) I don't care who told you what...do not go telling your parents that a Recovery vehicle carries aspirin and the "Hair of the dog that bit you!"

4.) I don't care how much you love the Spirit Cats...roleplaying can only go so far...leave the hookah at home please!

5.) Performing a Death From Above does not entail standing on a chair!

Don't make any sound effects every time when your units move or shoot, its anoying.

<<2.) Making siren noises or bringing a device to do so while moving your MASH unit into place is completely unnecessary!>>

Nor is it acceptable to sing/hum the theme song from M*A*S*H

On the same line, "Flight of the Bumblebee" is not a good one to sing/hum while using your SS Balac. Those bloody things are annoying enough. The Balacs that is.

Course I faced a 500 army that was on the order of ten choppers...

15) Don't let your BM or other sneaky players, switch this Events prices with his oh so covented Ceasar Spano or Jas Phillos. I caught the lil sob doing that twice, next time he gets banned from all the MW venues in the area, and trust me our BM and I will make sure of he is.
