What are some etiquettes that players should adhere to?

lekky · « **Reply #1 on:** September 11, 2007, 01:50:02 PM »

Its different for pub and match play I guess.

Match:

- No mm1
- No disconnects at inappropriate times

Some general things like:

- ns after a nice shot (but not every shot!)

Generally just use common sense or your better judgment to what is right.

If you do something wrong, I'm sure many people will try to correct you

Yeah in match play I don't say excrement but in pubs all I do is talk excrement. Most of the time I do that more than play in pubs.

Oooh sk89q, that layout is much nicer

Help new players, like the ones that are playing for the first time. For example, if a newbie tries to cap a flag in his own base (actually happened, and it was funny as hell), tell him that he/she needs to cap on the opponents base.

i laughed so hard after reading y00tz' post. priceless.
Match play:
1. Give lagged out players a fair chance to unlag and resume gameplay
2. If a player is idle, drop all flags, and wait for revives or let them idle out into observer

Pub play:
1. Don't cap on newbies
2. Be helpful to anyone, whether it be game play issues or out of game issues if possible
3. If you don't know answers to the ^ questions, send them to the forums

That is something that really needs to be addressed.

You can no longer deepend on intellegent people to treat others with respect.

One thing that's always bugged me:
- Take the time to type a response. Don't use binds.

I'd rather have a simple "ns" than have somebody smash a button repeatedly that spams an annoying, colored, "$)(%*&^#(#(#(%***NiCe SHoT***#@$(((}}**&&&@$$$!!@%%". Even a clean "Nice shot!" bind is a lot more impersonal than a typed "ns" and more of an annoyance than a complement.

sk89q · « **Reply #16 on:** September 13, 2007, 01:21:52 PM »

I agree with jitspoe. It doesn't say that you spent the effort of actually acknowledging a nice shot, etc.

Same or actually until I read your post.

I think all complement binds are ok. That is, unless someone just says "ns" or "nice shot" after every time they get killed. I have a "nice one" bind, but I only say it when it's actually nice, like I don't say it if I try to grab, and a flag-liner shoots me. I mean, it's a fast paced game, sometimes, binds help.

If i feel a shot was so impressive that i had to say nice shot, i actually take the time to type it out
