Confessions of a typefragger

[halogene]

yes yes yes, but what about the idea of clicking fire button inmidst of chat, returning to fight, and resuming to type the message afterwards? I kinda happen to like that. Not demanding stuff, but wanting to know what other people think about it.

If you managed to collect lots of weapons and suddenly have to check for the kids or stuff then I say get to spectator mode or accept to get killed. I mean, the weapons are not THAT precious, are they? And except for your armor your health will be below the respawning value anyway, when you return.

And I agree that the "carrying the flag" icon could be a bit more expressive. But in my opinion that should go into another topic.

I share the opinion about the "carrying the flag" symbol nonetheless

My rules are simple:

I do not typefrag unless the enemy typing is very near our flagroom or is the enemy FC.

I do not care if I'm typefragged... at all (especially if I'm FC). As soon as I stop to type I pretty much expect to be killed. However, I appreciate those who don't (most will hit me once, hear the typefrag warning scream then move on). In return I backtrack a fair bit the opposite direction after I finish typing to avoid killing the guy who spared me. The result is respect between the parties involved.

All I ask is to please don't hate on those of us who chat a lot. We play the game for fun (and half of the fun is seriously the banter). Not for the scores, nor for winning. If you think something is wrong with that, just go ahead and typefrag to your heart's content (though don't blame us if you get the reputation of being an asshole) and don't read the chat. dammit.

I used to avoid type fragging, but given how many players I've seen abusing the bubble I will shamelessly frag anybody and I expect others to do the same to me.

I am against any sort of punishment/immunity/actions when it comes to typefragging, due to the reasons stated above. I like the current system where the player hears a sound similar to the teamdamage sound. Maybe a "Don't typefrag!" message when you hit someone when they are typing would also be okay.
Personally, I do not typefrag. Also, when someone passes me by, I ignore them for their honorable actions. However, typing with the frag or typing in my base will be met by swift elimination. I fully expect the same when I do that. Some people will wait for you to stop typing, those people are asses, and I usually wait them out.
Honestly, typefragging, except in the above circumstances, is not acceptable.
