This is a two way game. Backstabbing those who kindly don't kill you when you're typing is just as a bastard thing to typekill.

"Backstabbing?"
Who cares about a single frag, or a bunch - on a public server.... flea has a point, and if typefragging is quick way to spot sore losers I'm all for it. You don't really know a player until you typefragged them a few times by accident, and then a few times on purpose.

if they are out of the way, against a wall or something, i usually dont shoot em. If i do, i use the laser to move them or just for target practise when i run by.
i only get annoyed when its either in a one on one, or i have placed myself out of the way and its obvious someone is taking a score. especially if its tight in the top and someone of the top three does it.- paperclips

This seems ideal. If someone is in my way and typing (or sometimes not) I will just laser them out the way. This applies to team games too.... ie when you are about to cap and some noob runs in the way when time is of the essencePossibly not the worst mapper in the world.

Sometimes I like to typefrag just to, make my day; like that time back in Dallas I typefragged JFK.

I've been noticing more people complaining about being fragged in a race than being typefragged.
"STOP F**KIN FRAGGING ME U NOOBS, OMG, SOME OF US WANT TO FINASH TEH RACE!1"
I try to tell them that it's just a game and I'm not fragging them to be an asshole, but because they are my opponents.
They never listen. Is race fragging going to be considered impolite too?My will be done.-

Frankly, in my humble opinion, they're fools and you can just keep on fraggin' 'em.
Alot of times newbes come to a game and decide that instead of learning the rules and how its played, they should make up their own rules (like no using weapon 'X', don't 'weapon whore' weapon 'X', etc.) and enforce them using the only ability they know- complaining.
(Unless you are playing Tremulous- a hellish community of cheating admins on about every server.)
Race mode can be played in a number of ways set by the server that determines if you can kill folks or not- there is a time trial period where everyone is invulnerable before the actual race begins with live weapons or weapons cannot hurt any other player at anytime or weapons are using live ammo the whole game and you can kill whoever, whenever. So depending on the variant of race you are playing, you either can kill other player or you can't, it isn't a matter of what you should or shouldn't do; the server decides and doesn't let you do what you shouldn't.- Flying Steel

i hate when they complain. maybe a sprite that goes over their head should be added to messagemode1&2 so we can see who's typing and not, then stand infront waiting for them to finish typing then frag them XD :).+The Dude+

Typefragging is just fine. This game is about shooting. If you want to chat, go spectator and chat. When you spawn on the map, you are TARGET, regardless of are you typing or not.quit for good- alpha

I think you should be able to aim and shoot while you are typing so people *hopefuly* won't complain as much from being typefragged.My will be done.-

what about a typekill counter on scoreboard and at the end of the game a message: "Congratulations name you are the typekiller number one of the game!! ...MORON!"
when he killed more then 2 or 3 because 1 can be a reflex ...-

If anything, the nasty noise that replaces the damage indicator when you shoot a typing person should be abolished, and the game client should only use that sound when you shoot a teammate.My will be done.-

I for one, think it would be good if there was some sort of ehh.. lol "electric collor" option that can be activated for noob/beginners server so, noobs that play there gets zapped the second/third time (counted individually for players/each typeing session) someone shoots at the typer. noobs should lrn2frag in proper fashion and not trying to get easy scores, so that if someone ask questions about the game or a map with a certain bug, which the noobs servers are there for, asking question, practice and fail.
*ZAP*
however, this of course is not a good solution at all just applied like that, since noobs just paus and type in the middle of the road how something is gay)) or yaddayadda. As you might have noticed, this was just an idéa I found in my ass, just moments ago.- paperclips

I just made a pk3 that makes the type hit indicator the same sound as the hit indicator.
I extracted hit.wav from the big data pk3, renamed it to typehit.wav, put it in a new pk3 at sounds/misc/, and placed it in the data folder.
That noise was annoying, I had to remove it.My will be done.-

The core contributing European players are the ones who originally opened my eyes to a deeper understanding of the game and a sense of community surrounding Nexuiz. Nexuiz differs from mainstream games in the fact that we have a lot of say in how things are architectured and every individual involved in the game contributes in some way or another.
Coming from mainstream games like Halo, I had thought that it was okay to 'shout' profanities and treat other players like it ~was a point based game~. This ego-centric attitude soon had a reformation as my understanding of not only Nexuiz but the open-source community grew.
Respect is a word we all know and think we understand. However, the definition is foggy as the true definition is a consensus based on distributed knowledge and awareness of the subject. We are still a rather small community and we are constantly learning and evolving together. It is essential that we keep the respect high if we wish to keep the community strong and development moving forward.
It's important to consider not just yourself or how you THINK others are reacting to a situation but to step back and view the community as a whole and ask yourself, "what is best for this community?"
Through this methodology and countless numbers of hours in-game and in this community (IRC, Forum, etc). I've been playing with people from all different backgrounds on all different servers, and have come to learn the negative repercussions of sour attitudes, trolling, team-killing and type-fragging.
These negative actions promote other negative actions and a wave of negative energy will pass through the community, yet some try to argue it's helpful in some self-serving way. This is referred to as the Broken Window effect. If it's not contained, it can become a tsunami and wipe us out both mentally and figuratively. By devoting resources to fend against these negative energies, we are wasting time that could otherwise be inspirational by collaborating with others to build new features in or around the game.
If you disagree and still like to typefrag, smack talk and/or team kill, I for one, don't want to play with you.

Well there is such a thing as taking things (such as fragging someone in a game) a little too seriously.

Rad's just upset I put him on ignore on IRC.
Eventhough I expect this to be followed by some wise ass comment, I thought I'd try and put this into perspective.
It was assumed president Obama would help bridge the racial divide. In Boston the other day, cops asked a black man for identification when they saw him trying to break into a house. He cried 'racist', Obama supported his cries.
While some might see this as Obama looking out for minorities, what has his action really done? Made it harder for cops to do their jobs.

I apologize for using politics as an example. I'm not trying to push a political agenda about Obama, just give a pop culture example of how seemingly little things can make a big difference.
My point again is that by supporting this negative energy, you're promoting more negative energy.-
