I had to DQ myself after discovering I was using the wrong Superman base and was way overbuilt. Silly part was I didn't even realize it until the 2nd match. After that, I really don't mind the loss of flight bases...

!!!!!!!!!!!!!*



*just goes to show that you can't judge a player by his HCRealms stigma.

There was one time I was playing in a sealed booster (or draft, I forget which). This was around the time of Ultimates. I was playing one of the judge's sons. His team was slaughtering me. So, at one point, I started counting points to see how I could possibly pull out a win. And that's when I realized he had overbuilt by around 90 points (in like a 300 point game). I understood what had happened: he had probably had two figures that he had a hard time choosing between when making his team and then forgot that he had to choose between them and ended up with them both on his team.

Well, I called over the judge and asked what we were supposed to do. The judge gave me a win for that game with full points (and gave his son 0 points). The judge's son wasn't actually disqualified from the tournament though; he was allowed to drop a character and keep playing and he ended up in second place, if I recall correctly.

That's the closest I've got to a disqualification story.

I once got DQ'd because i won the last 5 tourneys at a venue.

Once i got DQ'd for talking with a lisp on purpose cause the other player was a bit homophobic.

Both were fine with me. and well worth it. the first venue got shut down soon after that incident, and the judge there quit playing clix.

LOL! So true. I'm an ####### on the 'net sometimes. I don't mean to be... I'm just blunt and outspoken here, and some people take it the wrong way.

But in game, I believe sportsmanship is the highest virtue to have as a gamer... even above winning.

I have come so close to doing that so many times... I haven't played sealed in a couple of years, but I used to recheck my sealed team three or four times and still found that they were at funky point values because I picked up figures that weren't on the team. I guess I can remember who belongs on a team much more easily if I took the time to hand-pick all of the figures, rather than having them basically chosen for me by random distribution.

I once lost a game and while calculating victory points realized I was over the build total. Not really much to do because I had already lost but I consider it a DQ anyway. Or maybe I won and was DQed anyway. I don't remember.

Being a bit over points is the only case I've ever seen anyone disqualified. It happens. Everyone makes mistakes* and sometimes that mistake is a miscalculation in point total. It's frustrating to everyone but we move on and are more careful in the future.

*VGA d1sc1pL3 decimates his opponent in place of any mistake he would otherwise make

i can't believe there are losers that sad to bring out weapons over clix? this surely is a sign of armageddon!! :O

this is one aspect of the game that truly perplexes me....do most judges award prize support based on good sportsmanship? i ask because the venue i play at seems to choose mystical, dark magikal reasons. like if someone is losing horribly or they are a close friend or random dice rolls etc. havent seen a judge in my neighborhood award fellowship based on sportsmanship in a looooong time. and to be honest ive seen more corrupt judges than i have players unfortunately.

Ask Groovy to tell the story how he helped DQ an opponent in a 3 way match against Fin Fang Foom @ WW Philly. The guy was overbuilt by 3 points.

Considering that the other guy ended up being a dial-changer, this reminds me of unfaithful people in relationships who are always accusing their partner of cheating on them. Projection of one's own failings...

And it only took 15 posts.

VGA is definitely gunning to fill the void left by The Rukuz. He just needs to gain a few more levels to bump up his CHA...

Total d i c k move on my part, but the guy was playing a V Hyperion TK yo-yo and talking tough, so I was like, "Is there anything I can do to at least make the next 50 minutes moderately enjoyable?"

I was DQ'ed in one of the qualifiers for the Wizard World Championships (the ones you play locally, not when you're at the con). I overbuilt and didn't notice until I had a full wipe of my opponent in the second or third round. So I blew the whistle on myself and all my dreams of winning a legitimate glass trophy came crashing down...
