Anyway 90% of the time it's your own fault for playing whilst downloading, or having a crap internet connection. If you "lag" all the time and it's totally unplayable, then why do you play Q3 online?

Also if you are listening to mp3's, are "stoned" (COOL MATEZZ, at least 50% of you haven't touched anything that will make you "stoned"), are tired, aren't warmed up, whatever - same thing applies. Would be great indeed if people dropped the excuses, and especially people like my favorite #1 E+ excuser (who I seriously can't play with anymore without turning chat off) needs to take a moment when EVERY LOST ROUND ends with a different excuse.

Timelimit hit 1
: stupid brother

Timelimit hit 2
: omg stfu X i cant concentrate *

Timelimit hit 3
: i accidentally hit degauss on the monitor **

* this is so ironic
** I'M NOT JOKING ON THIS ONE. DESPAIR, HUMANITY

Typically, bad shit that heavily affects the game happens rarely or almost all the time. In the latter case, you either a) fix it and stfu about it, or let some steam off every rare once in a while and the STFU ABOUT IT BECAUSE PEOPLE GET IT WHEN YOU SAY IT ONCE. In the first case, it wouldn't be often enough to be annoying.

Also: "The boy who cried wolf." There are certain people who I don't buy a single excuse from anymore.

There, some steam from me : D 'sup reno

hq, most people in e+ are not that smart as u are, so they take it bad and tell arround, beer-freeze lags, even if they never had lag.

Hm lag...both complain then, the one who lags says "damn i lag can't hit", the one who not lags says "damn, you lag can't hit"...

So..pointless discussion here imo

But when it comes to nicks like
stoned
mp3
warm
warmup

whatever...this sucks imo. Why? Cause it makes impossible to recognize player twice and see and compare how you/he's doing...
but that listed nicks are used by every second idiot player, so you not by far can guess who you playing and if you join next server, there is one warmup and one stoned too...is that the same guy from before or not?

That sucks imo, when using fakenick, at least create some original fakenick!! use POLAND or something!! or HORST!!

Regards,
Absti

edit: ehm yes and torzelan is right with his next statement...those nicks are excuses within nicks..and some always use such nicks..i mean, that's just lame ..

'omg every nubzor kills me cuz of that ping'

I don't see how this confuses you. If you say things as jokes, and want them perceived as such, you'll have to reword it. Getting called "nubzor" and having a frag discredited because of lag that isn't the other players fault or problem isn't necessarily as fun as it is for you laughing your ass off just because you know how much better you actually are. Have to think about others' perspective too.

This is pretty much exactly what this is all about. People talking shit, and that being annoying as fuck. Therefore,

seems a tad contradictory.

Gameplay, technically, no. But nobody has implied this either, as far as I see. It DOES - for certain people, me included - however affect enjoyability both in winning and losing. That's what this whine is about. Example; the player i referred to in my previous post is impossible FOR ME to enjoy a single game against, win or lose, playing serious or not serious. Respect and congratulations, HQ, if you are holier than I and can completely ignore what people say, but it doesn't seem that way when you say that people complaining about you not always owning piss you off and that you fakenick almost all the time, and it also doesn't matter even if you can - then this is simply not your problem It would be great and idyllic if everyone could just ignore trolls and idiots, of course, but some can't. I have tried for over four years, and I just can't let it slip, I can't ignore it, I see shit and I can't shake it out of my head affecting my mood and indirectly even... whops, gameplay.

Yepyep let them do it and let us say what we think about it, who cares right You fakenick all the time, I fakenick all the time, can't deny anyone to nick whatever they want. But I CAN think people are pretty lame for having "excuse-nicks", if people want to not play serious but still play with their own nick, why make up all kinds of bullshit excuses and not just say it like it is?

Your new post...

It was. Even though it isn't, I'll assume you find it relevant to this thread, then.

Your packetloss made you warp all around the place in our clanwar, and all of us died countless times basically without having a fair shot at even shooting back. In official clanwar environment I think this warrants debate when anyone can fake this kind of lag with some limited upload and get an advantage, and therefore expressed concern. If you however wish to compare me doing that ONCE - even recognizing there are a lot of shitty connections out there, as it seems yours included and not accusing you of anything or excusing our entire loss on this - to what this thread is about, you're desperate.
