But really, why can nobody take responsibility for their shooting anymore? When I get TKed, it's always "YOU IDIOT!" And almost never "Sorry" as it used to be.
I am disappointed in BZFlag players.

I get what you're saying. However, when someone persists you did something wrong, even when you disagree with them politely, it gets very irritating. If you know me, you know I get angry very easily. I try and get along, if people are willing to be friendly. When people get to be just plain irritating, there's no longer a point.A Meteorite wrote:I always strive, as well as encourage, people to be civil while playing. Usually if the person that is technically in the right is rude, I'll favor with the person in the wrong - as long as he is trying to be nice about whatever it is that happened (you can be right, but not arrogant about it).
It's sad to see others not follow this simple courtesy, but what can I say? It is summertime and the newbs are out...
Your probably right. I've noticed lately that the amount of sour players is increasing. When I say sour I mean rude, dishonest etc. The people Tangent is refering to are the kinds of people that push the good players out. I play on Bloodbath quite alot now and it seems to be the new hotspot for idiots.A Meteorite wrote:It is summertime and the newbs are out...

Those are my thoughts exactly. I can only be nice for so long, but for someone that continuously attacks you it's not long till you turn to instinct and defend youself.Tangent wrote:when someone persists you did something wrong, even when you disagree with them politely, it gets very irritating.

I would agree. I used to not go much, but it seems Mofo is actually more positive than other servers, there's less attitude there (which seems really strange), so I'm going to be playing there more often. I like Passion because it's not a major campfest for long, as those who do manage to camp are quickly taken down. It's quite fun.A Hobo wrote:Best that can be done is to ignore them.

My suggestion is to not play on top maps during 'prime time' if you don't like them that much.
btw, i've been using the following email for 2 weeks or so: The Many, The Arrogant, The n00bs. I haven't copy writed it. Kind of a copy off of the Marine slogan, feel free to use =)
I don't know, man. You'd be surprised. Some people out there just LIVE for kicking and banning people over the stupidest things. Partly the reason I decided to create my own server, so I know there would be at LEASE one good server with common sense and reasonable, enforceable rules out there for people to play on.blast wrote:Urban Dictionary gives you what the slang term of "boink" means.
