What about Respect?

[Reactor]

Hello My fellow gamers,I know i've been popping in and out here and there but I've been watching continually to see how the clan is doing.And to tell you I'm concerned just a little so if you don't mind I'd like to reiterate some of what i think might be a potential problem.
lately when i get the chance to play it seems some of the members are getting a little aggressive in game,this concerns me because aren't we suppose to be:

encouraging

courteous

friendly

Professional

polite

and above all just a bunch of friends getting together to enjoy a nice game of whatever.
Isn't our appeal suppose to be an excepting group,and no matter how good or bad you are as a player we're always glad you come to play on our servers?

And if this is true of all eGO then it's a shame if any of our members act in any disrespectful way toward anyone,thats everyone from an e all the way up to Council right?

I mention this because I feel I have been treated this way a few times in game and the who is not important.
I just want to tell everyone that we need to be careful of how we act in any server.

I joined under the perception that this clan was a fun loving group of people,And I still believe that.

If anyone is like me I jump on sometimes just to blow off some steam from a bad day at work,maybe you had a bad day at school or heck just a bad day,thats ok your allowed to have a bad day,but another thing that gets me is the cursing in server.

You know I'm not trying to tell you can'y swear,but to keep from causing a ruckus on the server it takes one button to keep it from happening you don't have to push it to talk,say it in your home ok,but you don't have to push that button.

Just some things to think about I'm not trying to throw a monkey wrench in to anything.
I'm just saying lets be careful don't put people down cause there not playing the way you want them to play.
Hey it's a game lets play to enjoy not play to embarrass others or the like.

Remember your not the only one playing and it's not fair to the other players to have a bad attitude,relax your not less of a man (or woman) because you lost a round (or game).

Just remember to Respect everyone,You catch more fly' with honey than you do with vinegar.

thanks for reading my rant
see you all later

I agree with what you're saying, although I have failed to see any instances of disrespect on our servers, especially from eGO members as of late. Then again, I have only been able to log on for 2 hours a week or so. I'm not asking you to point out any such individuals, yet I would like an example, so that I am able to grasp the amount of disrespect we are talking about. And as for foul language, are you talking about from eGO members or from pubs?

I would like to point out that members are never allowed to swear when they're wearing the tags. Members are kicked without warning for this offense, if they are a higher rank than you take it to leadership. As he said, just don't push the key.

As for disrespect, it's a much larger problem because the game is so team-dependent. It is rather frustrating when your SAW gunner is sitting in spawn letting the D-team run you back into spawn. I know I'm guilty of that much. One thing I've always wanted to see is more members on the push team. The maps are unbalanced as it is, why would we want all the best players on the easy team? To make everyone on push miserable so they rage-quit? Doesn't sound like a fun environment to me.

Well Yeti I am speaking of just simple forms of disrespect,not abusive (like pointing a finger at someone) forms of disrespect, just the general aggressive speech we all take for granted like hey it's no big deal or suck it up buttercup kinda attitude. You the kind, and this isn't my pat me on the back cause you hurt my feelings thing.But when your just kinda wanting to relax and enjoy a game, and maybe laugh at yourself for something goofy that happened and someone decides that this is the game that will determine whether or not the world will end.
The instant that I'm pulling this from was not one of our servers but all members we're eGO.

And I'm not saying they we're absolutely terrible but it was the atmosphere they brought forth into the game that was irritating,not by any means eGo standard (at least in my opinion)
It got me to think about how it can be very disheartening to play on any server with this kind of atmosphere.

So this was just my way of saying hey lets watch what we say and do cause everyone is watching us,and be sure we're doing what is right.

as far as the foul mouth it's pubs mostly and I warn and take the proper actions.But I think sometimes it needs to be reminded to eGO members as well,I can see it slips,but like in vent or a game where its just eGO and no pubs we should still respect the fact that there are those members who don't like hearing a flavorful word in every sentence.

maybe I'm crazy and the only one who feels that way

any way thanks for the response good to know there are those who are willing to listen thanks

Ah, i see what you're saying, and I understand how that can really get under one's skin especially when they are trying to relax. I think some of the problem stems from, what APR touched on, is competitiveness. Not necessarily the game being competitive, just that some people should be more considerate of others' lack of competitive attitude. We have plenty of outlets for competitive players, such as our scrim teams, but the majority of this organization, as with the majority of gamers are not highly competitive.

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

ya. if i see that a pub is being disrespectful by calling another pub/or eGO member and "idiot" or "you big noob" or anything of that sort. i take the appropriate action and w/k/b if needed.

 

[Kawaii~~]

Respect is become an issue now in most eGO servers especially with pubs because they like to call each other "noobs", "idiots" "retards" etc... if they are saying it to a friend and he does not take any offense to it its just a thing between friends but if a pub is saying it to someone who he does not know then that is being rude and disrespectful then and only then do I take action =X

 

[Reactor]

I can understand your position kawaii but what about the other pubs who don't know about those two being friends and there beginning to get insulted is it still a no touch situation? is the lack of action going to put off potential players? Or is it better to address it to only find out that they are friends and then at least everyone knows it's just a friendly jabbing contest,which then would show we take our position seriously,but are not against some friendly fun?

 

[!EpIc fAiL!]

i would address even if they are just joking b/c they are friends. better safe than sorry i say. worse that can happen is they'll say "oh were just joking...we are friends so its all good"

 

[a pet rock]

I agree with epic for more than just that, though. Other pubs may not know that they are friends (even if you do). They see somebody get called a noob and no action is taken, they may think it's appropriate.

Also, only one time has it ever happened to me where the two people knew each other.

 

[Reactor]

you make some good points EPIC and APR

well once it gets too far and you will be able to tell if it does thats when you start to take action so lets say

two buddies
a and b
a: your a noob =)
b: your a moron =)

but then if the convo just steers off into a and b just insulting each other constantly then I would ask them politely to stop because other pubs are gona see this and not knowing that the two are friends are probably going to insult other people then you're gonna have a big nuclear problem so you would want to stop the fire from spreading at all =)

 

[Reactor]

that's a good way to deal with it i think cause your not going to let them be down right ignorant but at least let them have some fun with out over doing it. Ican see your perspective better now. Thanks for the input
