Trash talk and angry people at Rig.

Coffee · 07-14-2007, 14:22

A couple of incidents have occured while I have enjoyed myself hanging out at the rig and practicing my pvp (that badly needs improvement.) Those incidents have prompted me to try and address such possible problems via the forum.

Trash talking has always been a part of pvp evets. Although I try not to disrespect anyone, I too enjoy talking trash at times. It's part of the experience and like any sport is to be expected to some degree. I also expect trash to be dished my way as well though, and I don't take anything personal. If you are on the receiving end please remember that this is a game and try not to take things personal.

What I will not tolerate though is someone throwing racial slur's out. If I ever see this from any other players again I will report them from here on. I will not be giving any more warnings of doing so. There is no need for that kind of behavior wether it is in a poor taste joke manor or not.

Being PvP'd in PvP is going to happen. That is why it exists. While I have been killed numerous times I expect this. It's PvP for crying out loud. When I see someone respond to me killing them with statements of "Don't make enemy's" after killing me I think they may have taken the PvP experience a little to seriously. I'm always up for a good fight but comments like that make me wonder if these people realize that PvP is part of the game. I don't go to the rig to "...make enemys..." but I do go for PvP.

Lighten up a little people. This is a game after all. If getting killed or having a little crap talk going on isn't your thing then you probably shouldn't go into those area's. And for the respect of others please keep all racial comments to yourself.

Thank you for reading.

Yes, racism is bad, shouldn't be a part of a Virtual or Real world... stop it u ignorant tossers....

The PvP anger... yes, I've felt this. I'm WAY off uber, I get killed real easy.... For the first year or so, when it happened, I got mad, I couldn't see why some faceless nerd with a big ped card should be able to take me down so easy and so often.... after all, as a lot of people in my position (then) would think, "IRL, you'd have no chance"... etc.

Then I grew up.

I now regularly end the day by getting blasted seven ways to sunday at the ring or the rig... I get dodge, I kill the odd avatar, the atmosphere is mostly friendly... I've learnt some great tactics for when my stats and gear improve that will help in PvP and normal hunting. Personal best kill spree is 4 in a row

but time will tell.....

Embrace ALL the game and lighten up, it's all good.....

Nice post Coffee

I agree Coffee the racial slurs are bad at times. I have only really been playing since January. I have been to the rig a couple times. Each time killed within seconds. He my avatar is week now but had fun none the less. And agree if you don't want killed in the pvp stay away from the pvp.

And also a good thought.. Racism is the effort of a feeble mind trying to express itself forcibly.

So go out their and get killed it will help you get dodge and other good skills. And maybe you will get lucky and kill someone else.

(missed me!)

We don't talk enough about honor anymore. Where is the honor in killing someone dressed in all orange trying to run to the next TP?

Where is the honor is dressing up in orange to fool someone into allowing you to pass, only to equip a weapon and kill them?

We live in a world where people no longer strive to achieve honor. People focus on guns and armor and their professional levels. But what about honor? Who among us is working to achieve honor? Who dreams of honor?

Perhaps our society today is best exemplified by a quote in the movie Boiler Room, "There's no honor in taking that after-school job at Mickey D's. Honor is in the dollar, kid."

Sorry dude, say what you like about honour, it's hypocrisy that's the problem... look at WWII... one particular army held honour higher than anyone, yet committed PoW atrocities and civillian massacres just like the rest........

If you believe that there are such things as "races" and even take offense at feeble-minded racist comment attacks, you are a bit of a racist yourself, whether you like to admit it or not.

The only race there is, is ithe human race, period.
