World eater player keeps shadowboxing during my movement and shooting phases. My second round I was paired against a guy who went under the alias “Gitgud” and refused to say his real name “as it would grant you power over me like all daemons do”. Deployment and pregame talk went fine, then my movement phase happened. He started doing pushups, and shadowboxing while making woosh sounds. When I asked him to stop he just said “I don’t have any movement or shooting defensive strats go nuts”. I called a judge and he simply told them “The nails are biting” and sided with him. I flopped the game hard because I felt so off with him doing that losing 53-97 where he screamed “blood for the blood god!” at the top of his lungs then said “NEXT CHALLENGER” and walked away. How do I handle these situations better? Anyone explain why a judge would let this fly? Edit: I did not ask if he had autism but I don’t think that warrants him doing that.
