Semi Finals of The World Cup of Wargaming Pet Hates
« on: July 16, 2025, 04:51:27 PM »


Time for the Semi finals, many Pet Hates (including all of mine !) have fallen along the way and there are only four left and it's up to you to decide which will have the dubious honour of lifting The World Cup of Wargaming Pet Hates.


Remember it's the one with the most votes who wins, the competition to date is laid out below, many more fell by the wayside in the Preliminary Round

Semi Final A is underway

Which of these two wins your vote as your least favourite

Cheats - many people want to win but cheating to do so breaks every rule under the sun, it is a game of Roy soldiers after all, but some justbwant to break the rules.

Smelly Gamers - like a game of Ping Pong but without the Ping 😎

I've got no idea which way this one will go but there can be only one, and its usually the one I don't vote for ! 3 days to find out

American English and English English are not always compatible.  Can you define/explain Portaloo painting and doorstop bases?

Yeah, but it's just 'English' btw - although American English is most definitely a foreign language!  lol
The earlier posts on the World Cup of pet hates does have extensive posts on these terms but, basically, the portaloo refers to a brush-washing device available to buy. Doorstop bases refer to those unfeasably massive lumps of rock or whatever that some gamers like to balance wargame figures on in the vain hope that it makes their figures more interesting but really should only be used for display models that should never be used on the tabletop.

Semi Final B looks like a shoe in but the first one looked like a close thing and isn't, I have no idea what's going on anymore 😆

Unpainted Miniatures on the Table - with the exception of kids and new starters is it ever acceptable.

Overly Competitive Wargamers - we all know "that guy", they jump on the table and shout in your face when they win, flip the table when they loose

A place in the final is up for grabs, get voting
