Online play 101

[Alexnader]

Assume that everyone is a guy until proven not.

This. I remember I played an online game with gender based off what class you picked, i wanted to try out the healer class or the "priestess". As soon as i spawn some random gives me some gear and asks to be my friend.

I took the stuff, added him and then got given more stuff!

Also if you're playing an fps, which has a flaregun which is extremely annoying to get hit by, DON'T think it's funny to ype "haha" every time you hit someone who's minding his own business.

Don't be a dick i guess.

Don't play music over your headphones. It sounds NOTHING like you think it does.

If your having a conversation with someone, or are complaining about something, please mute your mic, no one wants to hear anyone *****.

Don't mention that your new, you'll most likely get kicked from every game you try to play.

Expect to have children cuss and question your sexuality. Also expect them to say they made sweet love to your mother.

If you don't take verbal abuse that well, just stay offline.


and that is all, enjoy

1.) Remember it's a game and games are ment to be fun. so don't ruin it for others

2.) Just because someone is knew doesn't mean you should pick on them or call them a noob. remember you were once a "noob" too. there will be worse then you. there will be better then you

3.) If you don't have anything important to say over the mic. keep your mouth shut.

4.) Just because you hear a female voice doesn't mean you should hit on her. there's a 98% chance she's not intrested in you

5.) Don't start a flame war

6.) Don't hate. when you start gay bashing and spewing racisit hateful shit. it ruins the game for everyone.

7.) In addition to Rule 6. just because you're online doesn't give you the right to be an ass. if you're an ass online you'll be an ass in life as well so "they are just online people" doesn't count as an excuse for your asshole behavior. they are still people

8.) Do not spawn camp. it's cheating. even if you can justify it in your head. it's cheating. It's disrespectful to the other team and the game it's self. In racing games. do not ram. If the game isn't a bumper car game. don't ram people. once again it's cheating and it'll do nothing but flag you

9.) If you lose. and lose badly do not email members of the winning team and talk shit. If you win. and win epically. do not email members of the other team and talk shit.

10.) After every game remember to tell the other team "gg" or "good game" or something encuraging. Remember, It's only a game and games are ment to be fun for everyone.

long list I know

Never put up a sick looking tag.
If its says no swearing, DO NOT SWEAR.

 

[Quoth]

I'm too nice I think, but one of my philisophies is -

If you find someone that's easy to kill, then don't mass murder them over and over again just to make yourself feel clever. Three times is plenty even if your K ratio had been sucking up to that point.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Don't scream into the mic it's fucking annoying.

Probably rule number 1... Also if you're under....... 15-16 just DON'T come on MA15+ games cos chances are you'll drive us insane

 

[blood77]

Well one thing you can do is a mic check. Just make sure you are not broadcasting any annoying background noises, are too close to the tv, and above all don't have any other people who are likely to scream into the mic while you are playing a game.

Other then that just try to be helpful and understanding. Don't let yelling be the first thing you do when you see some one doing something stupid, maybe try giving them advice and then if they tell you to jog on you can yell.

Oh, and above all else, pay attention when friendly fire is on, cause friendly fire ISN'T FRIENDLY!

 

[Proteus214]

Don't ever ever EVER bring up religion or politics over voice chat in game.


EVER.


If you do, you deserve to be cock slapped.

 

[Jedoro]

Teabagging is highly restricted, and should only be administered on those whom you slaughtered in an epic fashion, i.e. shotgun to the back doesn't count.

 

[XSA37]

Shouting is not invited. Ever. Also, if you feel that your life's desire is to trash talk everyone even if they are better than you, there is a wonderful mute button on your mic. Use it.

Finally, no racism. Please. I am tired of hearing people who sound like they are about three years shy of puberty shouting racial profanities at the top of their voices. It gets annoying and offensive.
