    This is for those of us who find our TF experience outright ruined because of someone else who decided to be arrogant, uncooperative, defaming, profanity-prone, basically just anything that amounts to unreasonably unsettling.

    This is not to denounce people whose TF combat abilities don't meet your standards, nor should you use it to gripe on them if they retaliated in the event YOU criticized their ability. While you may be motivated to chew someone out for sucking it, try to understand that like certain academics, there are things you just CAN'T do and the same goes for them.

    Using the "offender"'s Origin ID/IGN is up to you. I personally hate subtleties so in my case I will be using names as I please. If the guy wants to come back and chew me out, by all means go for it because nothing you say will change my opinion that people should actually steer clear of your arrogance.

    If you have a story or just a name you want to put out so that however few people who visit this will at least get a heads up to what they're about to step into, leave it here. With luck, you may be able to save someone else from having his pleasurable Sunday become rotten due to a certain emotionally unstable troll.

    So here's my story:

    Map: Training Ground
    Type: Frontier Defense (That's really all I play)
    Team Lineup: Me as a Gen 6 lvl 1 (just underwent regeneration), 2 other Gen 1's somewhere around lvl 30,
    And this clown: IGN I3lazingSaddles (Honestly not sure how it's spelled, just did a copy-paste from the chatbox and it worked with origin)
    lvl 50, forgot the gen (not 10, and even if it were, not very important as I have seen gen 10's with borderline satisfactory ability as well as gen 1's with exceptional ability)

    So we go in, game starts off more or less silent. We clear through the starter and I get my titan: the stock-grade ogre with a 40mm cannon. I3lazingSaddles gets into a stryder, also equipped with the 40mm.

    And then it starts as I3lazingSaddles "laughs" [complains] about his kills being stolen by a "nigger", which I guess is me since he has 32 minion kills and I have 31, while the other 2 guys have less than 10 combined. (Didn't get the chat log for this because it got cut off)

    I figure I may as well just let him have the minion spotlight and move forward. I have a preference to set up my light turrets on the other side of the map where the spawnpoints are because the ever-so-common nuke titans in that map rarely turn around unless severely threatened. Plus, if I'm taking on titans and letting the minions be, this guy can more or less claim the spotlight and we'd all be none the wiser.

    Well, no. Now that I'm out of the way hunting titans on the other side of the map, he has to start accusing the other 2 guys of being obstructive, of kill stealing, of being "fatass"es, the list goes on...

    I3lazingSaddles: THERE'S TWO OF YOU
    I3lazingSaddles: RFL
    I3lazingSaddles: ROFL
    I3lazingSaddles: ROFL
    I3lazingSaddles: ROFL
    [TEAM]I3lazingSaddles: move fatass
    I3lazingSaddles: you niggers truly are useless
    I3lazingSaddles: can't get your own kills
    I3lazingSaddles: so you have ot try to steal mine

    Frankly I'm starting to wonder how he can type so much and still do his job of cleaning up mobs, not that a high wpm type count is a rarity among people.

    Anyways, a few waves pass, and just before the final one, he decides to run forwards into my killzone and shoot at everything as if I weren't there.

    I'm in a frickin ogre, with 3 light turrets mounted on the end walls of the map and a heavy turret in center and I'm only taking up the right side of the field. If he genuinely believes I wasn't there, it would have to mean he has vision problems AND a total disregard for the minimap itself (or thinks I can't do the job myself, which would be odd considering I've been in there the whole time and maybe only 2/~30 titans made it through)

    Now I'm forced to ask what he's trying to do because clearly he can't agree with anyone else.

    I3lazingSaddles: wow
    I3lazingSaddles: trash
    I3lazingSaddles: stealing my fucking kills
    I3lazingSaddles: awesome
    I3lazingSaddles: get fucking skill niggers
    Kyozaru: ...out of curiosity, what do you mark as "yours"?
    Kyozaru: like, everything?
    I3lazingSaddles: the ones i'm shooting
    I3lazingSaddles: retard
    I3lazingSaddles: open your eyes
    I3lazingSaddles: #rekt

    So I'm guessing this is his mindset:

    He has the open freedom to relocate anywhere he so damn pleases. Regardless of if the enemy has been engaged before he got there, the moment he opens fire on it, it automatically becomes "his" kill and at least in his head, he gets every right to bitch and moan about it being a kill steal.

    Well, at least he's fighting, I guess.

    Final Wave starts with a deployment of about a dozen nuke titans (maybe 9, didn't bother to count on the minimap. At least 6 pass through the right side (which I'm trying to hold alone), and with that kind of concentration, anyone in there has to either be fighting alone or paying extra-close attention to every nuke icon on the minimap for the risk that one might be preparing to self-destruct.

    Remember when I said this guy doesn't seem to know there's even a minimap that you're supposed to reference even IN COMBAT?. Yeah, he jumped in and set off 2 nuke titans as I took out one. In his panicked retreat, he dashed into the nuke titan I killed and being in an ogre, I just didn't have the speed to get away from the ones he set off. We both got caught in the fallout.

    I3lazingSaddles: wow
    I3lazingSaddles: you are so fucking stupid
    I3lazingSaddles: shoot the nuke next to a friendly titan
    I3lazingSaddles: #bad

    I was already shooting the nuke when he came along. He decided to dash right into it the moment it was about to blow. Besides, Nuke Titans aren't like suicide spectres where you get no time to react if the guy gets volatile, you have a few seconds of leeway to figure out where to run, panicked as you may be.

    For starters, the fallout happened because he intruded on MY grounds, the area I was holding ON MY OWN JUST FINE. He could have still wracked up his kill points by going ANYWHERE ELSE that was packed full of mobs, like the LEFT side of the far end of the map. I can only think of this as a clear harassment so I decide to call it.

    Kyozaru: okay, so I was guarding that area fo rthe last 5 waves
    Kyozaru: you jump in to throw in a wrench and I'm the stupid one?
    I3lazingSaddles: the nigger who shot at the titan next to me
    I3lazingSaddles: was fucking stupid
    I3lazingSaddles: probably you

    He seriously doesn't realize that he ran into that explosion himself...alright...

    Due to us both dying and the other 2 guys not quite knowing how to handle a convoy of nuke titans, the harvester goes down. Within expectations I guess. Not that I can or want to blame Gen 1 players, I remember back when I had just started and while I may not have been deadweight, I wasn't exactly a pro fighter from the get-go either. It took me 2 regenerations worth of FD combat experience to figure how to take on a nuke convoy and from time to time that method still backfires.

    But this guy:
    I3lazingSaddles: you guys are retarded
    I3lazingSaddles: try paying attention
    I3lazingSaddles: you retarded niggers
    I3lazingSaddles: unbelievable
    I3lazingSaddles: also get stryders
    I3lazingSaddles: you stupid useless faggots

    I already don't like his need to name-call but at the very least if you're gonna criticize, try to direct it in a way someone can learn. Lack of explanation for the belief the other party is "retarded", lack of explanation on exactly "what" the other players are supposed to be paying attention to (and frankly, they're probably so fixated on the nuke titans that they forget about everything else, I still have that problem), lack of explanation as to why stryders are any more desirable at this exact moment in time...

    I've also undergone the ideology that if you find another person's performance to be unsatisfactory, you just work to follow through for them. If you can't do that, then you have no right to claim superiority regardless of your kill standing in contrast to theirs.

    We reset the wave and clear it with a 2-star rating, this time without the accidental fallout (thankfully he didn't run into my position to set off the nukes again)

    "Okay, it's over. Considering Gen 1's often start the game with back-to-back failures, this is actually not that bad."

    But of course, he has to have the last word of the day because they all do.

    I3lazingSaddles: #carried
    I3lazingSaddles: GREAT JOB BLAZING
    I3lazingSaddles: everyone else go fuck yourselves
    I3lazingSaddles: shitty faggots

    Yay, way to self-inflate your ego for reasons I don't care to understand. I will acknowledge that you can fight pretty well for a 40mm cannon on a stryder but the mere act of not typing at all would make you 75% easier to cooperate with.

    So with all that being said and done, I hereby add IGN I3lazingSaddles to the "steer clear" watchlist for combat-obstructive arrogance, profanity, bigotry, tunnel-vision, and detriment to team morale.

    May we never meet again, and if by chance I should find it possible to meet you in real life, know that I will not hesitate to rip your intestines out with my fingernails and use it to hang you from a tree.

    I am not sure that I ever welcomed you to the forum Chibi-Kika, but I like your style. We all have run I to this kind of person. In real life, most of them are in prison though. Hang in and just remember, there are more people who play for fun and commaradery than those who just want to rant about how bad everyone else plays. I will never forget the first real jerk I played with. He was good but not great, certainly better than me. But EVERY ONE of his mistakes he would blame someone for it. Even when no one was around!!! He had a high pitched whiney voice that was so grating and he talked fast. With any kind of feedback he would call names. He criticized everything everyone did. He ranted for 5 minutes why I would ever use a nuc ejection in LTS. It just so happened to be a burn card and so what. In any case I hope you get to use those fingernails on your guy sometime. Gotta get back to work. Take care.

    Much as I would normally be accepting of other people and their "tendencies", I would like to note that not all of us play these games for the same reasons. Likewise, when fundamental reasons of this degree happen to conflict with one another, they lead to arguments, and sometimes beyond that, grudges, massive drama fests, revolutions...

    My point is I have enough to put up with and make compromises for in my offline world. Unless I plan to wear that same mask all the time for the rest of my life and go nuts as a result of it down the road, I don't plan on playing the silent victim, not when what I'm doing is something I truly enjoy.

    No one gets to ruin my gamer moments and walk away without me at the least mouthing off about it. Call me petty if you want but it all comes down to is how I want to deal with...not that other guy, but how I feel at that moment. My advice, don't deny other people the forms of relief they need to run their lives productively just for the sake of etiquette or even personal preference lest you wish to be a possible cause of a disaster down the road.

    As I see it, this is the same reason why they use cheats, aimbots, hacks and try to disrupt other players. They generally are not very good, or at least as uber as they like to think they are, and simply run around like the spoiled children they are and ruin the game for others.
    Its a place where there are few restrictions for their behavior. When they do get caught, and subsequently punished, banned or kicked, they usually scream the highest and then try to tell everyone why they have been wronged.
    Don't let them spoil your fun. Enjoy the game.
    And welcome to the Forums.
