Maybe we should ban the default "target" spray, too. It makes perfect sense!
See, the target is something one is supposed to shoot.
But, I'm also supposed to shoot the enemy.
In order to make the game more "fair", the target spray should be banned. Along with anything else that could distract a player, including but not limited to:
- Any sort of phone within ear shot of a player
- Microphones in game
- People with tongues that have not been cut-out and\or working voice boxes in ear shot of a player
- Loud vehicles passing the building a player is playing in
- Loud planes and helicopters flying overhead
- Door bells in the building a computer is located that a player is using to play
- Pets, children or anything else that requires attention anywhere even remotely nearby
- Textures and surfaces in-game that are not completely blank and white, as they may resemble colors used on player models or the color of a muzzle flash
- System fans and hard drives that make noise in the computer used for gaming
- Keyboards and mouses that "click" when used
- Speaking\shouting at the game by the actual players as they may accidentally distract themselves
- Obligations, these tend to distract players as well
- The sound of gun fire as it distracts players from the sound of the rear-approaching footsteps of a knife wielding enemy
- Clever or funny player handles, especially ones that make you think
- The chat box. Way too much in the way of distracting text
- Server\forum spam to remind players of rules and to encourage them to join forums
- Thoughts that are of anything besides game play including but not limited to war, global affairs, hunger, sex, socioeconomic issues, MTV, NASCAR, American Idol, relationships and how delicious Funyuns are
- Steam community pop-ups in game
- Most if not all of the Heads Up Display
- The kill display in the upper right-hand corner
- The "reload" button
- The scoreboard
- The "~" console
- Bodily functions, especially the need to pee and the feeling of hunger
This is just a post-it note sized version. Truthfully, the list is much longer and rife with things tormenting innocent gamers.
Next week, we need to find a way to ban this devious "ping" everyone is speaking of. People teleporting several feet away, long enough for me to aim at them, and then back to where they should be as I start shooting where they just were, oh boy, THATs distracting.
If we are vigilant and vanquish these mighty e-terrorists, we can move forward and tackle our ultimate enemy... the dreaded... the hated...

Bum bum BAAAAAHHH!!
Here are some more distracting pictures that can and probably should be used as sprays *evil smiley*
