eGO Words of Wisdom

[Bones]

I want to show you what Quaffer said when signing up with eGO and The Raiders. I felt it really gets the right message across for all eGO members and is worth repeating for you to see.

*****************
B. Summarize eGO's rules, in your own words.

?Have fun. Be polite and mature. Don't complain. Play like your playing with your kid/mother watching over your shoulder."

Thanks Quaffer!

what if we have actual criticism about something? lol there is such a thing as constructive criticism for example, I tend to not agree with the "respect others" rule. For the sole reason that respect should be earned, not given. The rule, imo, should be more along the lines (as far as I can tell is) "treat fellow players kindly" cause that's fine imo since that's what the rule basically means. But to ask me to give someone respect when they haven't earned it? I find that a bit much to ask.

The dictionary says this for the meaning of respect

"esteem for or a sense of the worth or excellence of a person, a personal quality or ability, or something considered as a manifestation of a personal quality or ability"

I dunno how the server can ask for people to respect someone when they don't know them I can understand respecting the admin's powers cause you do know their abilities to ban/kick you and thus respect the rules because of the consequences... but to respect the person themselves... I dunno, I say people should earn it. Then again, I guess that's a fault of our generation.. our generation has far too much instant gratification so very few understand the meaning of earning something.

With that said, I agree, it's nice to have a server were people act friendly, but that's my only gripe with the rules. All others are perfectly fine imo. Not swearing really is easy to do so I kinda laugh when I see some who make a really huge deal about it. They can always swear in person by themselves where they are playing the game rather than in the game lol.

On the subject of respect. You should treat everyone as if they are worthy of respect until they prove that they are not. Even then, a demonstrated lack of respect diminishes you not the person you are disrespecting.

As far as complaining in goes. Our language supports criticism without castigation. If you have an in depth complaint you can post in the forums. No need to inflict it on your team mates who just want to rain assult, shovel, grenade, and other assorted mayhem on the opposing team in a gentile and refined manner. Ahem ;}

Comprende your devineness?

Thanks for the quote Bones.

that is an interesting way to go about it. I guess it's just a difference of opinion when it comes to respect in that matter I've always felt respect is earned and before then you don't give them respect but you don't treat them poorly either. A place between respect and disrespect

Edit: I guess to be a WoW nerd, it's like the reputation system everyone starts off at neutral and based how they are/act they go up or down hehe.

I think it's more on the line of respect others right to play on this server without the criticism and castigation and foul language that most have come to expect on other servers. Rather than respect others personaly because even if you play with someone for months you do you really know them. I think not.

Nice outlook Quaffer

I always try to follow the MDS rule: treat people like they are your Mother, Daughter, or Sister. It doesn't mean don't have fun, it just means have some respect

Yes, but some people might not respect their mothers, sisters, or daughters. Preaching to the choir has never stricken me as something to be commended or encouraged. More than that, i find it damaging. There are so many cultures, languages, regions in this place that speaking instead of acting will not be as effective.

Be Nice!

This is not a big deal to do or think about. The point Quaffer is making is, just be nice. It is only a game and not a philosophical debate.
