Swaim, I love you man, but you can’t raid on WoW as a level 12. You’ve gotta get to like level 75.
Someone probably already said that but I can’t be bothered reading the comments.

In response to Joerrrrrr’s post [in my opinion a zerg-rush isn’t cheap. it takes skill to pull off]. Well, so does the 10 second from spawn location Counterstrike head shot massacre from the bird’s nest insta-win vs. all 5 Terrorist players. Doesn’t make it any less of a dick move. lol

#6 reminds me of my friend Matt. We used to play against one another in the various Pokemon incarnations (Red and Blue, Gold and Silver, Ruby and Sapphire…), and he would ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS yank out the link cable or switch off his Gameboy if he started losing…

That rat bastard.

Team-Killing

To be fair, I was playing Halo once and everybody on my team was completely incompetent, so when my Halo buddy (leading the other team) had just embarrassed me with a almost complete massacre and I looked over to see the last remaining team member FUCKING RUNNING AROUND IN CIRCLES SHOOTING HER GUN INTO THE AIR…

Well I just lost it. I only remember the scene in slow motion, my gun going up, the shot, her dead corpse lying in the snow-shot in the head.

It was an intense scene which was totally boosted by the fact that she was right next to me and CRIED. SHE FUCKING CRIED.

I cherish that memory.

Just want to agree with DaveGee there, about the ‘Bad Gamers’. What would be nice is if you could nail their personal info and permenantly ban them from any and all multiplayer games. Then we’d never have to deal with those jerks again.

Team Killing is definitly the worst sin. Especially if ‘Friendly Fire’ is off. Imagine if you will having a missle launcher and having the perfect shot on an enemy turrent. You know by taking it out you’ll have paved the way for your teams victory. Just before you can fire suddenly your blasted up off the ground by a teammate and your character ragdolls for a few seconds. And by the time you stand back up…BANG! He blasts you up in the air again, and repeats the process until your forced to respawn!!!!

Also possibly an 8th sin. ‘Camping’ where you stand around outside a respawn point and mercilessly kill players just as they respawn and have no chance to defend themselves.

Rather than argue with a brilliant article, I’ll agree with all 7 of the points made. You people in the gaming community who view it as a task to know how to SUCK THE FUN out of every last game you play, go right ahead. All that means is that when you’re sitting there with 4000 different games at your house and still bored as dog shit, I’ll have 100 games at mine and be happy as fucking larry (well not actually fucking him, but you get the gist). This is all a question of ‘gaming sportsmanship’. I’d love a good old game of any fucking thing with anyone, if I didn’t have to deal with that asshat who commits every one of the aforementioned sins, constantly and consistently. What it comes down to is a simple question: Are you Good or Evil? (Good: aiming not to commit any of the sins for gaming enjoyment as a group - Evil: aiming to ignore these sins to learn how to win every time until you bore yourself to an early death, hopefully).

I recommend a new concept in the world of gaming:

EVERY MULTIPLAYER SERVER, ONLINE GAME, AND LAN PARTY MUST SHOW THE SERVER AS INVITING TO ‘GOOD’ OR ‘BAD’ GAMERS.

I sure as hell only want to play with and against players who are willing to play with as much dignity, class and respect. And those who would like to play by whatever underhanded means they can to win, can play together. It enhances the experience of both sides - The good side can really start to enjoy and perhaps influence some growth on making gameplay experiences even more awesome, and the bad side can learn even more fucked up ways of beating the next guy without him even knowing what hit him.
