Internet Ppl Suck

I've have come to a conclusion. One that I did not wish to come to. It is my conclusion that they NS community sucks. The game is fine, fantastic even but the ppl! Oh my! Its like they are mini-csers or something. Every single game there is at least one butthead screaming for someone to get off gorge, in every game there is at least one person screaming about what the gorge is doing, in every game there are ppl just being buttheads, its against the "law" to bild anything other than D/M/S, the forums are filled with not just flamers but sh*t-disturbers, and so on and so on and so on. Sure there are a great many NS ppl that are cool but unforutately the buttheads outnumber them by at least 100 to 1. Its kinda scary to look back at the seething mass of crap that the community is. You dont really see it unless you take a step back and look.

Then again I also know its not so much the NS community as it is human nature and the internet. Game communities everywhere suck. The more popular the game is the more its community is poop. Place young kids into a anonymous enviroment w/o fear of repurcussions, have them get all amped up playing a game and you get a highly volatile mix. You get ppl doing things they would never do in public and toss in some immaturity and you get....oh boy do you get it. Man oh man! I have actually been thinking about quitting gaming over the past year or so because Im getting tired of dealing with all the crap. I swear playing a game of NS is like playing the slots in Vegas. Refreshing the server list is the pulling of the slot handle, the refreshed list is the number scrolling up and if you get into a good game you hit the jackpot but most likely you will run into a game with a bunch of tards so that means you just wasted your money or in the case of NS time. Ive been thinking for a while now "Is it worth putting up with all the crap just to play a game?" I would just love to play a game of NS without any buttheads being in the game. Musta been nice to be a playtester before release.

    Play as Marine's then. Just deal with it, whining about it isn't going to help. I know it sucks when there's people that whine about everything and don't do anything. Just try and ignore them. And MOST Gaming Communities suck.

    one time I got in a game and I was aliens, we had like 12ppl on the team, and just one gorge, should I thought I would help and be another gorge, but when I switched they started yelling at me, then I switched back and they were still yelling at me, so I told them all to go to hell and left the game, and joined another.

    It's even worse as Marine tho. =( Whining might not help but it sure does feel good to get it off my chest. Yea I know most gaming communities suck...I thought I mentioned something like that im my original post. Mebbe Im just getting too damn old. I just dont have the patience anymore to deal with all the crap. Ive been playing games for 5-6 years now online and it hasnt got any better. It has only got worse. Mebbe its time I retire the keyboard and let all the youngins have thier fun. It just gets so taxing wanting to play a good fun game but not being able to because every gdamn server is filled with buttheads. Its like having some fine azz b*tch laying naked in your bed but you arent allowed to touch her. "Lookey lookey but no touchy"

    Heck, my brother got banned from Hastezone because he went gorg to build some offence chambers to block the marines... Haste himself banned him because everybody was bitching.

    Yeah, I haven't played NS since.

    This is why i want to play Natural Selection in real life... yeah, the aliens would suck, but man.... after the old "shotgun to the back of the head" method of selecting who's on your team, life in general would be much happier for everybody <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Do you know why the CS community is in such a bad state? Partly because of things like this, people whing so much about it. If you just put a smile on your face, accept many people are morons and be always happy around here, it makes picking out the morons from the mundane easier for us mods <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have been putting a smile on my face for years now. It gets tiring putting a smile on your face all the gdamn time. Its gets tiring putting up with idiot ppl on the net. In real life if they were to ever talk to or treat me in such manner I would kick thier ****. Thats the prob with the net....no repurcussions for a person actions. They can act like **** all day to everyone over the net without any fear of reprisal. If I had the money of Mr. Gates I would develop some kind of nuke for pc's that can be sent over the net. Some ahole screws up a game by planting sc's over all the rts I just press a little button and the nuke goes to his pc and BOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!! No more pc for that chump. Then most likely his parents would freak because thier $2000 pc was destroyed by what they think is thier kid. Oh I would laugh! ahhh fantasy life is sooooo comforting.

    Let's face it, people suck in general. But there's a good minority of there of nice, considerate people. I like to think I'm one of them, but, I suppose some people think highly of me and others don't. Guess it's pretty subjective.

    Classes have to be the worse gathering of ignorant morons. I'm aghast at how stupid people are

    Perhaps you should find a good server to be a regular on, there are such servers out there, you just have to filter out the good and the bad..

    What good? Well for one I feel better getting it off my chest. Ive been holding back for years. Two I feel better knowing that there are others out there suffering as I do. Makes me feel not so alone in the great big internet gaming world. Now as for some concrete betterment...hmmmm I cant think of anything that would change all of the internet gaming community to become decent respectful human beings. Can you? If I had the money and know-how I would design/bild/code/whatever something that would make ppl act more mature, polite, non-insulting, and sportsmanlike whilst playing internet games. However creating such a thing I think is impossible. Just how can you go about changing how ppl think? How can you make ppl be more positive when they WANT to be so negative? I dont think you can. I think its just a part of the human condition. No matter where you are and what you are doing some jerkwad will always try to ruin it for you. No matter where you are and what you are doing someone will always try to make you life as unpleasant as they can. I call such ppl sh*t-disturbers because all they do is stir up sh*t on purpose just so they can feel that they are powerful.

    These forums used to be a great community before release. I remember when we all predicted the fall in maturity once NS became popular. Guess we were right? eh... still not as bad as CS, though. It seems all the immature people have the loudest mouths and post the most... which makes sense.

    I suggest what other people are saying here. Find a mature community server and be a regular there. Then find a secondary server for when the first one is full.
  • Teufel_EldritchTeufel_Eldritch Join Date: 2002-01-28 Member: 124Members
    Well tried that and was burned by what I thought was respectable and mature admins and players. I cant even join my 3 fav servers anymore because of the stupidity. Hell I even thought the CoFR server would be cool because CoFR ppl are cool. Long history and good reputation they have. Even there I run into the buttheads.

    Screw it man! if I werent so damn addicted to this net crap I wouldve disconnected net access a long time ago. What I have to do is find something to occupy my time. Hmmm what does a person that has unlimited time do? Now thats a prob. Just what does a person that doesnt have to work or goto school do for 16+ hours a day? TV is dull and lifeless compared to the net. The net is interactive. Reading? Mebbe. Hmmm...guess it time to get back to the real world. sigh........ Gotta get outside more. I havent left my house in days. Mebbe I should go down to the beach or catch a ferry ride or something. Since I dont have winter trekking expierence I cant go trekking now. Mmm what about a move? Just what did I do to pass the time before the net? Hmmmm perhaps a road trip? Anyone got suggestions for real life activities?

    My advice play on a passworded or community server.

    BlueYonder or Nano-Gridlock should be right up your street!
  • CrouchingHamsterCrouchingHamster Join Date: 2002-08-17 Member: 1181Members
    BlueYonder <i>is</i> generally good, but it still has it's fair share of whining tosspots..still, most of them get banned eventually..

    Blue yonder has a great community, just sucks that i'm not from the UK and I get pings of over 100 so haven't been playing on them for a while...

    But this thread is fighting whining by whining, it's the same as ****ing for virginity... (always wanted to say that) <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Join a clan and dont play on public servers. There is a whole load of people that dont pub on cs. there the actual mature (i use this word lightly) group of cs players. There is probably a whole community of ns players that dont pub. Its probably not nearly as big but probably exists.

    I try not to be an *** on these forums but I always find myself fighting for something, maybe I'm ignorant. I have to agree with you on most of your points there.

    It is mainly hurtful for me playing on NS servers than it is fun frankly <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    For one I can't stand the F4 peoples

    I also can't stand when I'm a gorge and as soon as I die some other *** on my teams says "quick whoever has the most resources go gorge" that is very hurtful and is like the team doesn't trust in my pro-gorgeness.

    Then you get the newbs who are always whining " aliens are so underpowered in 1.04" I later proved a handful of whiners on the alien team that it was very possible and that simply their attitudes about being unable to win was causing them to fail. The next two rounds aliens won because I continually used mic to communicate and give advice to the team. But it is hurtful to have to deal with these balance whiners having to convince them that it is easy to take back a hive.

    Funny thing is that people think I'm a loser for standing up to F4'ers and by using mic to tell them they ruin my gameplay experience. It may sound like I'm a lamer and agressive on servers and the forums but most of the time its all because I'm too protective of NS and keeping it pure. And its also due to a bunch of other personal anxiety problems. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah but like he said, he can't even play on the servers he enjoys because occationally the admin may act dumb or something, and some clans have abusive admins and "special" third party rules for NS. I also can't seem to find any "pure" servers.

    I remember the days when I could sit in a rafter as alien for a marine as long as I wanted without being ***** at for not being a productive alien and even leave a game for two hours, come back and still not be kicked. Ns was fun when the commander and gorge player was actually someone to envy but now NS is highly popular and there is not time to relax.

    I was in your position once. I did take a break from the 'net and I think you should too. Learn to control the environment in which you live. You can start by regularly going to 1-5 servers that you deem to have shown a high consistency for good players.

    I found that clan owned servers are generally full of regulars and the resident clan members tend to bring in more good people. Here are a few:

    D&S's NS
    66.220.2299:27015
    This server doesn't have that many regulars, but the clan members are often present here (at least when I play).

    (LGSO) Killing Fields
    66.237.58.56:27015
    Excellent server. Lots of different clan members.

    Nano-Gridlock
    198.77.205.24:27015
    Everyone knows this server. It has many great players, but a lot of crappy players too...

    Try them out sometime.

    Come play on Nano-Gridlock if you feel that way. It's a friendly place, and us admins are always willing to help out.

    I feel for ya Teufel. I usually play on small player servers so I don't have to put up with as much...and i always (ALWAYS) view the game info. If one or two clanners are there, I join, simply because they know how to play. What's your game name? i'll give you a shout (and possibly some teeth-marks or bulletholes) if I see you on a server.
  • Speed_2_DaveSpeed_2_Dave Join Date: 2002-11-15 Member: 8788Members
    I play on clan servers in CS and rarely see someone scream "h4x!" unless its very founded (guy went 11-3, all 11 kills headshots, and his 3 deaths were from us using the "wallhax don't work in 360 degrees at all times" strategy, plus specing him showed some shadiness, too.) Instead we hear compliments (like ns, gj, you **** etc.) to excellent plays, and congratulations on someone pulling off a miracle save (I'm pretty famous for those, I'm known as supahdave).

    When I play on a LAN server here at college, I'm often accused of hacking (just because they're too stupid to use the walk key, doesn't mean I'm hacking), rarely does anyone try to beat a strategy, they just complain about it. "lose the B*** rifle, quit shooting me with the n00b cannon (auto-shottie), the m4 is ghey" I think the only gun they like is the deagle, and if you kill them with it, "gg haxxor"

    *shrug* look for people you like regularly. I enjoyed doom brigade, but sometimes the n00bs would just get too annoying, but the regulars there were lotsa fun. As for CoFR, I like most of the people who play there. *shrug*
