I'm sick of people bitching and complaining after they lose to me. Suck it in! The latest was a person who shall stay nameless. I was accused of being cheap after bombing him and winning the game. This is coming from someone who was using mini-t to pin me down. Too bad that didn't keep me there. But the thing is, I didn't complain. This isn't the first time someone has been a sore loser when it comes to playing me. I've been called a fag twice and people have criticized my method. Well, look at the rank and game level, then come and play. If you are going to whine after losing, then you should not play people over P. Most new people handle themselves better then those who have been playing for a while.

Oh yeah, remember, it's just a game. There is no reason to get upset.

I agree completely. pop-pop was made so we could have fun, not get all worked up over losing. I am not a good player. I do not win constantly. I win occsaionally, which is fine for me. If a person totally destroys me I compliment them. Anyway, I love this game, it's tons of fun. People that complain when you win are losers.

ah, same happens to me, A LOT, people come back to seek revenge all the time, sometimes back to back. and they get beat. they dont realize that they need more practise and then they bitch and moan about it. the people i really dont like are the ones that play you through the game, and then when its over and done, they disconnect as soon as the win screen comes up. or, they dont say anything after the game. i always say "good game" or "come back in a while, it'll be fun" or something like that, and all i get is a "System: Player is waiting for you to leave chat". its like, you got beat, but so what, its a game. from time to time, i do get mad too, but i dont spaz. c'mon people, get it together, were all tryin to have fun.

oh, and just to tell everyone. im absolutely sick of Jalai, and Synotic. they either disconnect at the end, or bitch and moan everytime they lose to me. it disgusts me. i suggest staying away from them, since there sore losers....

i apologize for mentioning them, but i cant take the way they act towards me, or to anyone else they have played and been beaten anymore.

This is th biggest reason why I hate net games, most of the people i've played have been good losers or winners but when people start swearing and stuff that's when it gets irritating. I joined a game that someone started and the title was a very bad word, he kept trying to talk to me but all I would say was good luck, and at the end good game and left, I whooped his ass to but he deserved it for swearing

the only way to improve is to lose against someone better than you, again and again, until you are better.

Friendly rivalrys with: EVula, Thrawn, anklebiter.

I think we have all have had a game or two where a someone got mad about loosing. It happens. For new players it can be really frustrating and they may not know how to handle it. I played a certain someone a game of Bolo long long ago, and I got my butt smoked. I was mad, and I proceeded to get really pissed off at him and say not nice things.

Months later, I was playing a 1x1x1 game of Bolo. This same person was whooping me, but had another person to worry about. So I started attacking his bases, and he made the comment "Oh great, I get the anklebiter." The entire game, I ended up being a total pest, and made this person very mad at me.

As players who are more expierenced, I hope we would be a little more mature and have some mercy on those who are new and very frustrated. All players need to feel welcomed, even when they are upset. I have never had anyone swear at me yet for winning, not sure why, but havn't.

I did have someone get mad when I went around as DEMOnewbie and whooping people, but that was asking for it. Point being, I know it can be frustrating but it comes with the game.

When I first played the beta, I got kicked around left and right, and by about everyone. I played moki and AAAPlayer enough times that I got good, it took many games, but in the end it all worked out. Even to this day I am coming up new ways of winning, just yesterday I discovered a new tactic that works really well. The more you learn, the more powerful you become if you apply your knowlege. And if someone tries again and again to beat you, consider it an honor Even if they are swearing!

Up until the "using mini-t to pin me down" I thought you were talking about me, mr. la.

However, I did challenge you again and win... I figure we should play a few more times. Like I said before, losing to one of the best is still a learning experience, and then I can take the tactics I glean from you and slaughter other players with it. Mwuhaha!

As for the "If you are going to whine after losing, then you should not play people over P" comment, you joined my game, dammit, and it was listed as P.

Right on. Sometimes when I lose I playfully say "Arg!", but then I type in a smilie and all is laughs etc, etc. I don't moan and drone about losing, I say "I need more practice".

I have yet to play somebody who goes berserk. I'm kinda glad, too.

Hehe...I had a feeling you would think it was you. It isn't so don't worry. You're kind in your method and it came off sort of like constructive critisizm.

The person who did this has been playing the game since it has come out and it was really suprising.

the only people anyone has a right to be mad about are:

people who play mini-t in expert
people who change game settings when you announce them in the description
people who combine the above just to beat you the cheap way (1 to win/expert/mini-t) =P

Yeah, I try to be mature when I get my ass handed to me on a platter by a superior player, 'demo' or not.

However, I was rather upset that you kicked my ass as easily as you did. Not upset at you, but upset with myself for not being better. But that's the appeal of the game... when you win, you want to win again, and when you lose, you want to win... it's digital crack, man!

On the flipside, I've had several polite people who I've whipped, and only one who said "gg" and nothing more. shrug
