A rant about quitters, and other types of phaliure...
I know there are already 8,434,976,685,012 threads about quitters and /speccers , but this is partly a question, and partly a suggestion, as it's just got ridiculous. I get quit on in at least 1 in 10 matches against people who i dont know, and even though it counts as a win, it's just the kinda thing that gets me pissed off .

I understand that some people have connection problems, but that comes up as "connection lost", or "ping timeout". I'm sure ppl can fake these problems too, but that would be a much smaller group than the current quitter population.

Answered. Thank you.

I know this has come up before thousands of times, but there really needs to be a proper blacklist of frequent quitters, and a tag, kinda like the mod/oldschooler tags, which shows up as a symbol next to their name ingame so everyone knows how much they phail.

The other thing that really pisses me off is ppl who open 2-3 toribash windows and wait in multiple servers for their turn. This means that everyone else has to wait longer to play. If everyone did this, then the queues everywhere would be stupidly long. Can this be fixed somehow, so ppl can only connect to one server at a time ?

well, that's my rant over.

Opening 2-3 Windows and going into multiple servers IS NOT against the rules. This thread fails. If theres already so many threads why add to the list?
And may I say if someone quits in a fight with me i just go Fucking Nub then carry on with other players. If i may i would like to Shame this thread [Soz].

Because i couldnt decide where to put it, to be honest, and sinceone of the topics in "the game" in "multiplayer", it's appropriate enough. Stop trying to be a mini mod.

You cared enough to make this long reply.

tbh, that just kinda reinforces my point. That makes it even more annoying when you dont even get the win. And read the above thread. It disagrees with you (if the game rules have changed since then i apologise).

And it's called a typo. Typo's and spelling mistakes are different things. Get your facts right...

Read my post. I allowed for people with connection problems, and anything else, you can probably just go akf, which wastes a few seconds of time when you get afk kicked on your next turn.

Nabi wouldnt have to personally manage it. A bit of coding logging peoples' voluntary disconnects mid game would do that fine, flagging people who did it regularly.

I would know, by scrolling down the servers and seeing the same name repeatedly. Please think before you type. If you havent seen anyone do it then that's great. But it dosent mean that they dont.


Also, on the topic of spelling: phaliure may not be in the Oxford english dictionary, butit is in use, especially on this forum. And the rest, which arenot an unreasonable amount, are called typo's.


I would flame your punctuation, but i dont have time, so i'll just say this: it's bad.

You tried so hard on that one, didnt you ?

unfortunately the correct anwers were: "you, so", and "I am not talking"

lol...

and the funniest bit of all ? You spelt grammar wrong !!

I'm genuinely laughing out loud at you.

Back on the subject, most people just leave to go and get food, answer the door/feed their kid/whatever . Minimizing the game, accepting the loss and getting on with RL never hurt anyone. When i need to go do something while i'm playing i just leave the game running and get afk kicked, as that's what the afk kick is for. I dont just type: "uuh.. .i hav 2 liek go n uuh liek feed the dog yea..", and quit while i'm losing. And if i did have to feed the dog, then i'd just leave the game open, give the guy his win an accept it. I dont care *that* much abouy\t my ranking.

How often is there a life and death emergency while you are playing toribash ? And anyway, if someone had to get a lift to the hospital, and you quit that one time, i'm saying that it wouldnt be enough to get you blacklisted anyway. So you'd be fine.

And less than 1/10 of toribash players may not be a lot. But thats the fraction of people who saw that thread and felt the need to post on it. I'm sure that even you get pissed off when people quit on you.

edit: you got -repped by three people. one of them was me. There, you can -rep me now, or did you already?

(seriously, you *are* funny)

"well also i didnt say you get angry" has to be directed at Ineffable, not me, as you said that i *do* get angry. Soooooo your two clauses each have a different subject/object separated by *a* comma.

This is the correct sentence :

Well/Also I didnt say that you get angry, H4rl3quin said that I get angry over people leaving, which i don't."

OR

Well I didnt say that you get angry H4rl3quin, I said that I get angry over people leaving, which i don't."

which can't be right anyway, as it dosent make sense.


Seriously, are you just using an online english-english translator now?

It fails.

You see, this thing happened where i looked at the thread, and then was typing my reply while he posted, and then so when i posted, it appeared after his...
...work it out.

edit: this has just gone off topic now. Now i guess it *does* belong in Wibbles.
this has turned into a pointless grammar/spelling flame thread.
Unless AwesomO says something spectacularly funny, this is my last comment:
