Gaming Ethics (now about EVERYONE'S problems, not just mine)

Sir Pinkleton · 10-13-2006, 09:11 PM

Hello fellow gamers! (again...)

What are your stances on gaming ethics? What are your "pet peeves" in multiplayer? such examples include:

-camping
-shooting at a dead opponent
-Killing a teammate out of spite
-constant cursing
-more later...

This is a pitiful list of the many controversial tactics used by many a player. So, by all means, divulge your many idea's upon this thread.

EDIT: just a reminder, this doesn't only apply to FPS's. There are idiot's everywhere, yunno?

Although I don't play FPS's, in theory I really hate disruptive behavior (like TK'ing).

I can't deal well with people who hack in an online FPS; hack if you want in your own little world, learn how to play the game if you want to be here. I hate people who block you out to draw in badies for their own kills, also stats whores deserve to burn in unending hells. Also people who refuse to go for the objectives in goal oriented scenarios (SPAWN CAMPING DEVILS!!). Just basic whine asses who don't want to play the game and have their own agenda... I think I'm hungry, I shouldn't post on an empty stomach.

The loud obnoxious guy who laughs at you every time he kills you, but as soon as you kill him he says your hacking or cheating and then tries to get yor account banned or something to that effect. These people deserve a hell with no people in it, that way they can complain about themselvesfro all eternity :shifty:

Since this IS my thread...

I hate it when someone joins your game and decides to use racial slurs/comments! Like so:

New Player: "what's up (N-words)'s?"
Admin: "Please don't use racist coments on this server"
Racist New Player: "Why? You a (homosexual F-word)got (N-word)?"
Admin: "I'll only tell you one more ti-"
Stupid Racist New Player: "(F-word) this (S-word)"

Pointless, annoying, and stupid...

I'll note your remarks sound like FPS games, I only play competitive so here goes.

1. Camping- Idiotic strat to start with it does not produce real gains, or map advantage. Yeah it's obnoxious but it also tanks the team that uses it. Thus have at it, if you want to give up an easy win.

2. Shooting a dead player- Idiotic, it's a waste of amo and time on something you already get the kill on. At best you waste a shot, even worse you could get fragged while trying it and end up costing your team a frag. Have at it.

3. Doesn't happen in the circles I run with however this is a huge no-no, counter productive and bad. However in top level TDM (where you can frag your own team easy) stuff happens and it's not worth getting worked up over. Just laugh it off and move on.

4. Constant cursing- In game voice chat sucks, and I disable the text chat as well, who cares? Some of my clan mates cuss up a storm in game, and show up on voice drunker then sin, but those are friends so it's fine. Honsetly it's just a game, who cares.

5. More later- I hate public server players that try to cop an attitude or get smart ass. One of the reason I only play competitive matches. It's a great way to avoid the BS and make sure you play skilled players. Honestly competitive gaming gets a lot of flak, but the truth is you deal with less idiots, since everybody playing is about the game, and not the drama.

Competetive is awesome, if you have the time. Its fun to work out strats and rape another team that is full of skilled players, but still hacking in competetive is an a different level, switchable boxes and no smoke/flash hacks piss me off a lot, especially when its team-mates because it cheapens your team. Another bugger is admins who are dicks for no reason when you kill em.

My pet peeves include:
-Morons who can't go 5 seconds without a stream of racial slurs
-TKing

Supreme Edgemaster · 10-15-2006, 01:07 AM

I personally hate camping. I had this guy I was playing on halo 2 and he just camped at the spawn zone and waited for people to spawn and then shot them just as they did. That is just one thing that really pisses me off about fps games.

Karrrrrrrrrrrresche · 10-15-2006, 01:38 AM

I admit I am guilty of TKing at one point.
A guy was being a complete moron while we were guarding the flag and when I told him I would Kill him if he didn't shut up he called me a retard and said I'd get booted if I betrayed him...one shotgun to the chest later I got booted by him.>.>

Other then that Racism (something the moron in the base was guilty of) is something that pisses me off.
