Ok, I\'d say that my way of beeing an asshole revelas itself in my bad habbit to utterly crush newbes and exploiting every tactical mistake they do-it\'s a way to slightly push up my ego (wich is as big as a planet)-however I feel a bit bad after the battle (they usually look like I killed their goldfish) and I try to make it up by commenting (lecturing-still egotripping) the battle and what was actually wrong in their tactic and what they should do to improove it, or what units should be positioned differently or changed...
Then we play another game, during wich all the while I comment the mooves on both sides (I practically think aloud and explain to my inexperienced opponent what I\'m planning to do and how he could counter it, while I let him correct some mooves and sometimes remind him about charge reactions or other rules he\'s forgetting and that should take in consideration before making the moove he\'s planning to do). Then again, when the tide of battle starts shifting (turn 3-4 usually) I make less comments (let him try it out alone, he\'s not an idiot after all) and use more dangerous tactics (well at turn 4 usually it\'s just improvising, since everybody is fleeing, dead or in CC).
Usually I beat them also the second time (EGO tripping all the while), but they take it in a better way, like some kind of training, playtesting and start looking at me as the master (powerplayer) that they presume in advance they\'ll never beat, but can learn from (and so I fill the ranks of our Dark allience/wargamer mafia family)
