OK, some folks don't know this and some are just a bit rude, but I don't like some things (especially if done by a regular or TSGK member) such as:

1. Not saying hello. Say hello ffs, it's polite. (except if you did a brb, crashed or something before it.
2. Say goodbye (unless it's at endgame and you said gg)
3. Say gg not *** has disconnected, or bg, or lucky. Two g's - just do it.
4. Don't say 'lucky' etc etc, be generous with your comments
5. Don't nade me and expect me to raise my stick when you raise yours. Do I look stupid?!
6. Don't nade me - just don't. Please. I cry
7. Don't speak french - I can't understand it except for some swear words. Besides, it's the language of the devil (hopefully osiris, pikpik and g3rbil are not watching this - if they are then 'viva le France')
8. Enough about lag! Jaysus - you think you're the only one?
9. Do not crouch - it looks silly and you might be mistaken for pooing all over the map.
10. Say n1, ns etc. Being nice makes you friends. And let's face it, none of us have a lot of friends otherwise we wouldn't be online so much.


Hmmm. Yep, that's it really... Except for rule 11. Yup.

Funny this should come up as a new post. 'Shocked' I just happened to be on a back shift today and ended up playing with some French players this morning. One player was using the online sound facility. My French is not that good but I could understand enough to know he was not being very nice. When asked to speak English he did. Unfortunately, all he could manage was obscenities and abuse. Mind you, the English person who asked, was polite and did not use obscenities, he did however Rolling Eyes wind the French man up.
Others joined in.
We are playing with people from all over the world and is not a good advert for your own nation to be behaving in this manner. I makes me mad Twisted Evil Twisted Evil Twisted Evil A bit of light risky humor is ok Very Happy When it gets to the stage when it spoils you game and puts you off playing it is wrong.

Sorry if I am a bit slow to respond to greeting at times Crying or Very sad but I am not good enough to type messages and play at the same time. I normally wait till I get killed, (which is not normally very long Laughing ) to reply an sometimes the greeting is out of context. I also at times may fail to acknowledge compliments. I apology for this> I have to ware glasses which are a compromise between short sighted and reading and often just don't see what is being typed when it is moving fast. Rolling Eyes
I am going to make the effort to learn to say"Hi" in the appropriate language if I happen to know what nationality the joining player is.
I do play on other servers Embarassed and find that some of the banter is far from politically correct and offensive at times. I have made the TSGK sever my playing home because I think the balance is more or less correct.

Manners maketh man.

Civility costs nothing.

Sorry to be a boring old fart.

totally agree with you Diet on that one Razz except rules 1 to 10. just kidding. but yeah a simple hello would suffice. I guess

and Zog, bind keys to the responses you use the most. so let's say b would be ty and n would be n1 and so on. this way you respond to everything while gaming. "yes that's how we reply really fast" lol it beats typing everything over and over.

lol Daniel. Sometimes I'll have been playing for a while and look down at the text only to see a question or something directed towards me just starting to fade away. Then i have to go to console to read it. Sometimes i see that Ive missed a whole string of questions or conversation. I can only imagine how much I actually miss without ever seeing it. So, If i dont sometime respond please dont think me rude Embarassed

Good thread.
I normally say hi when i join a game but not untill my first death, fairly soon then Embarassed

When i'm playing a fast paced game i also find it hard to read the messages as i'm normally trying to stay alive. i do try to say n1 or ty etc but usually get killed typing Evil or Very Mad

Rule 3. Always at the end of a game = gg, but fairly guilty if i have to leave sundenly for a phone call or the other half is nagging. Rolling Eyes

I try to be polite and get really anoyed when some one is abusing me or other players, wish more TSGK players had some sort admin kick for this sort of thing.

I'm usually polite, though probably not enough really in the terms of saying hi and complimenting people for good kills. Though I always say "gg" at the end etc.

I say ";p" a lot...

Actually my chat history is a bit sparse, I need to talk more! Razz

I never said a word for the longest time because I simply didn't know how to "say" anything. I didn't think to try to find out how until someone started talking to me during a game.

This is a good thread. I find that the best games I play are when people are talking positive. It creates a mood in the killbox of mutual respect and seems to make the game more fun.

Also I find it hard to tell the difference between the stats thing and a real person talking, thanks to the new text box.... So if I miss something you know why xD

Spot on!. I can never tell when ppl are chatting in a busy server as all the text is the same. Previously, the stats and server info was darker than chat text IIRC... so if I never talk then thats why. Oh, and the fact I'm an ignorant old git anyway, there is that too.

Being polite means not saying shit, or fuck or whatever? or saying hello when on entering a server and stuff?

I agree with the hello and bye bye stuff, especially if I recognise a few peeps in the player list but I disagree with the "gg" thing. I say it if it WAS a good game but sometimes you have a stinker or it was just a no-fun game so why say it every time? It is bit like when robotic customer service drones say "Have a nice day" or some other witless platitude - it loses meaning after a while.

Hmm. Good point. I suppose a more accurate message is "Good game to those of you who played well, and well done to the winner if you were one of those people who played well". But gg is so much easier to say.

Rules 1 and 2 : i try to do it everytime ... but sometimes ... no answer...
(but i know i'm not allways welcome for some opinions...)

Rule 3 : Concerning gg... i'm sorry ... i use it only when it was a good game in my opinion... If many spawn kills or spawn kills nade (even from me...) I don't say it. in past, it was less spawn kill than now. And now ... when u let a player spawn, he does't respect u let him a chance to spawn and kill you ... in back. I try to not spawn kill player who not spawn kill me. For others, i have no mercy.

Sometimes it's LUCKY. so why want prevent this word? Luck is a skill as other... just u can't train it ...lol sometimes i know i'm lucky ... so i don't see any things bad if a player said it...

First reason than i don't use "suicidal" stick now even if some don't like this style... I'm try to not be stupid too... I'm happy to not be the alone to think that...

Diet H2O wrote:

6. Don't nade me - just don't. Please. I cry

this rule has to be changed to be perfect : replace "me" by "Cynyx".

Diet H2O wrote:

7. Don't speak french - I can't understand it except for some swear words. Besides, it's the language of the devil

i try too... but sometimes i break the rules : i'm really not fluent in english (as u have notified) and sometimes "je parle francais" ... sorry but natural and easy, and more friendly with french friends...

8. Enough about lag! Jaysus - you think you're the only one?

I have more than 150 fps when play in lan and a ping near 10 on TSGK 1... but i lag EVERYTIME now... this game is not smooth. so it's true sometimes i cry about it... very frustating... and i'm not alone ? sad game.

really ??? Personally, i'm not... just i see HL2DM as a kind of sport. i don't spend my time to useless sleeping time, to stupid TV, stupid sport and other stupid things... but many my friends find stupid HL2DM Wink. All are free to choose their activities. but i haven't replaced real life with "in line" life...

can i add, other rules :

11 - don't camp in a corner Razz

12 - Kill a lot Darkmaster with stick... he needs to lose some points and he's really easy to kill ... Razz

Sure thing. I'll add a couple triggered by your post:

13. Don't spawnkill. It's cheap - except where:
a) It's the match start - it's a race to first kill,
b) If they are really in your way (at which point maybe say sry or something.
c) if you're on a third coffee
14. Don't kill someone who has deliberately avoided spawnkilling you. Ungrateful gits.

Very Happy

at the beginning of a map I look for those who started looking around or walking and donīt spawnkill the helpless ones. when it comes to spawnkilling I mostly only kill those who spawn near me who could kill me with a few rounds of smg or if they would stop my movement. I try to give them a chance to run a few meters.
