All the chat on public servers

[nifrek]

This is primarily directed at people that play on Galt's.

Okay, maybe I'm the only one annoyed by this but.. When playing on Galt's and the server is FULL... if you're not playing but are just chatting about God, arguing about his existence, or about the evolution of mankind, can't you AT LEAST GO SPECTATOR? Or better, why not go to IRC?

Don't you know that this server is the most popular one and sometimes it's hard to get a spot?

If you join a team and then do nothing, you just spawn and then chat about anything unrelated to the game, sorry but I'm gonna say it, I think you're being an asshole. It pisses me off that it takes an hour before I can connect and then still have to wait 20 minutes until a spot is free and can actually play. When I see someone not playing and just chatting and I ask him to go spectator because there are people wanting to play (which I don't always do for myself, but for others too), I'm told to "go f*ck yourself and don't read the f*cking chat"....... Yay, that's just great. Also, yes I'm going to read the f*cking chat because sometimes people actually say things related to the game and what is going on, alright? The reason there's a *BEEP* when someone says something, is to warn you that somebody is saying something so you should have a look. If there's a BEEP every second, it's REALLY ANNOYING. Some people can ignore this, hide the chat, remove the beep, w/e, but others are interested, as I said, to read when people are saying stuff about the game.

Also, when there are 4 players (yes, 4) on a single team chatting and not playing, huh... wtf is that? First, you're in the way, second, the rest of your team is probably not having much fun and must feel lonely, and third, well, you suck and I hate you.

For those that actually go spectator when they're chatting, thanks, you're awesome and I love you. You make a lot of BEEPS but at least you're not filling a spot so I forgive you.

Sure, it's just a game it's not to be taken so seriously, I'll be the first to say that, but if you're there to have fun, keep in mind that others are there for that too. Don't ruin it for everyone else.

I'm not saying it's bad to say "hi" and "how are you" and things that will take a minute at max and then you get back to the game, I'm saying take your long conversations somewhere else, PLEASE.

nice try but this is senseless..
1. not all will read this
2. the will not stop with it..

but you are right , on galts is massive chat.chat doesn't annoy me usually but on galts : 3x beep in 1 sec.

[KillaGrunt]

Yes i agree with you nifrek. People are chatterboxes and jerks on galts.

[ai]

That's Americans for you. In my eyes they are all stupid and fat. Yes, I know some are nice, but I have so little faith in them so I might as well label the whole country.

[KillaGrunt]

HAY! THATS NOT NICE! I know many are mean but most are nice. Its just that We Americans are very competitve and some are to involved to pay attention to anything else.


Personality flaws. Everyone has them.

Ahhhh thats so heart warming, it really is.

Some of the folk on the EU servers are right bastards though, like me.

*shakes head*...
how many americans do you actually know?

(guess you'd also easily label "all jews"...) <- yes, I had to say that

[nifrek]

Yeah well I was pissed when I wrote that post, I've calmed down since then. And yes, I know this post won't change anything, it was purely about myself needing to say something.

ai: I don't think it's related to people being Americans, as sometimes about half the players on the server are obviously not NA players, they're from various countries (200+ping) and play on Galt's because it has a lot of people on it (maxplayers is 24) so your comment does nothing other than bash Americans for no reason. I'm not American, so whatever. It's probably not a good idea to keep talking about this subject anyway we all know how it's going to end.

I found my solution for this long ago: no FFA gaming anymore, only if I really can't get any games going by contacting others in IRC (like using the pickup channel). I'm fed up with the difficulties one usually experiences during FFA gameplay. For me, when I play FFA, I do not even listen to the chat beep anymore. People who like to chat with me can as well do this on IRC, which I like more anyway. I only respond occasionally on servers (when people are around that I know already xD).

If I were you, nifrek, I'd try to not care anymore.

However, what I didn't quite understand yet, was that you said that you didn't want to join the game once you were connected. I don't understand why you couldn't just join a team once you are connected (of course by choosing a team that won't destroy the balance of the game).
