Uh...I thought the saying said that "rules are meant to be broken." Ur kindu messed up in that part but I was just thinking, we all sound like Monks or religious people like trying to do good and stuff. I guess if we were playing Knights of the Old Republic, I would be like completely evil, but actually my first character in that game was completletly on the light side. In real life I'm actually nice..I just like to argue I guess..You guys are all right, we should be nice to eachother from now on. Peace out guys, oh, anyone heard about Neverwinter Nights 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait

My chicken pot pie is almost done, gottu go check to see if the crusts are gold, later

Dash OUT!

Hellraiser your comment ther disgusts me, you are beyond reproach. You would call someone who may be as I agree overly sensitive a nerd. You my friend are not sensitive enough if you would ask me which is worse the answer is clear. Develop a conscience the fact that i am arguing with such conviction must prove that I in some way although I may lose my temper care about your well being and the well being of those you are very likely to hurt in Guild Wars and out of Guild Wars. You are the kind of person that takes what is not yours and then insults someone for being upset over it. Everyone is of a different temperament it does not give you an excuse to hide behind you innate personality. They must learn to adapt and change but you should not be the one to force that upon them.

you contracdict your self. You say every one has different tempermments and i should not be the one to force change upon them, thus is what you are doing to me? I insult and iam a jerk in a online game and you say saying i must be a nice guy and love every one.

If you are too overly sensitive then maybe you should quit online gamming, to many people who play online games commit crimes. Such as that guy who killed his baby in real life because he got in a argument with a guy online.

I am not forcing you to adapt I am simply presenting you with a choice. Do you choose the way of insulting others and being unkind or will you come to the realization that what you are doing is wrong. You are forcing people to adapt through negative life experiences and some may not be strong enough to do so. If your actions lead to someone elses problem it will fall upon the conscience of the remainder of the gaming community that does care. You need to develop a better understanding of our subtle differences in phillosiphy.

The way you play games is completely mental. The objectors are genereally saying "Well, I'm a nice person when I'm pressured into doing it (By real, pyshical people), but when I can get away with it and show my true emotions and person to people who can't do anything about it then I do! Does that make me a bad person?! Nope!"

I have a better idea. Why don't you go play in traffic and have a friend video tape it.

I'd like to point out that there's a big difference between insulting someone through their character and scamming them. If someone insults me, I leave that area and won't group with them again. Sure, my feeling smight be hurt but I'll get over that. It didn't cost me anything. Scamming someone is stealing. For someone to go out of thier way to try to take what's rightfully mine through the time I spent gaining it, that's absolutely wrong and there is NO justification for it such as "making me cautious". I shouldn't HAVE to be cautious. I'm not cautious when I'm at the store and hand my money over to the cashier. If I drop some cash and don't notice it, that's understandably my loss and I don't go looking for it. The same goes for IG. If I drop something and forget to pick it up, it's considered gone forever. I'm not sure who it was that was bragging about scamming another player (although I believe I know who it was) and then claiming it made the other person better by making them cautious... well, I'd very much like that person to try that with me in RL. I won't resort to name calling as we all believe this person doesn't mind being flamed.

I also wanted to put this out to the group, the online world, whether it's a game or chatroom or whatever you call Role Playing, doesn't neccessarily mean you get to hide behind the 'net, it means you get to be who you really are without fear of reprisals or rejection.

I have a question if they ever implemented a theif class in pvp and you were aloud to steal players items. (not saying they will implement this class) Like in ultima online you can steal players items. Would that be different then scamming then?

This thread's going to be locked if the bickering continues. No I'm not whining it's the rules and no-one likes to see their thread go down the drain. Try to make the posts constructive, I think people have made some really good points.

So no one answered the question.

Every one insults in a online game, weather you say so or not its a part of competitve online gamming. It will always be, i dont insult some one with racism or sexuality but i insult their skills for fun and i scam their items for personal gain.

I dont think its against the rules insulting some ones playing skills. Expeccially when you are dominating them.

Interesting. You don't seem to have read Sniper's posts about the RULES of the game.

Also.. would you take offense someone said you were crap in bed?
I mean, they'd just be insulting your ability to make love so what's the problem.. especially when they're dominating you

Hmm, the way the news puts it these days, I wouldn't put it past ya'.

As far as scamming goes there is little to nothing a network admin can do to rectify the problem, that is depending on the standing and privlages the company provides that person. As well as the established protocols for such situations.

As far as in game behavior, If I had my way, lots of players would see the boot, and in fact at one time, on a small network I worked on players did. However with that comes all to many people intrested in returning the favor. They make hundreds of attempts to sew you or say you are wrong. People are people, they almost certainly hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, and do no evil until they are caught. At which point they attempt to put all thier forces or brain cells together to ruin everything for anyone left behind that might be having fun. Theres not a whole lot that you can do about it, except /ban /ignore.

I agree with you in that I believe that people should act civilly towards each other, online or no, but I have to ask... What was the purpose in you posting this? People will be jerks on the internet and in real life, pointing out that they are jerks isn't going to make them amend their ways. In my opinion, the best way to deal with them is to ignore them. A lot of the people that act like jerks on the internet do it because they enjoy getting a rise out of people who are offended by their actions or words, telling them that they are rude or responding with insults will just let them know that you're a good person to pick on and that they have a lot more fun with you if they can continue pushing your buttons.

(I can't stop posting here! My fingers are moving and typing, I just can't stop them!)

The sentence you just posted is one of the most hilarious things I read lately. I can't even focus on the content, I'm still laughing at the grammar. You're a rare find...a brute, a pre-historical man with no insight, let alone respect for others. I thought they didn't exist anymore.

Your attempts at being smart make you look like an elephant who's trying not to be invasive in the women's bathroom.

What do you want me to write? You're obviously not very intelligent. If you don't understand that there's people controlling these "Pixels" and that they may, or may not be offended when you insult them over the internet, then what can I do? Smack your parents? I kind of feel sorry for you actually. Here, have a banana. *gives hell raiser a banana*

Thats two different things, if a woman made fun of my ability to preform in bed in real life to which some one says that to me in a online game that i never met before, which one will i take offence to?

Any thread asking for peace and harmony would of course break down into a flame war. Didn't you learn anything from the violent assassination of Ghandi?

I agree though. You shouldn't get pissed about losing, because it is just a game. However, getting scammed, being made fun of for losing, and general rudeness have no more place here than they would on a soccer field or in a card game.
