Just Curious
« on: November 04, 2010, 06:11:41 PM »
Why are people so serious about this game?

In Example:

Player1: You have got shot down by player 2
Player2: (Private Message to Player 1)WTF, How did you...No way BS...That was a BS shot freaking cheater
Player1: (Private Message to Player 2) lol
etc etc.

 :headscratch:

Yeah I get mad sometimes(Not as bad as most people in the game), but most of the times I am joking around with someone and they get all offended on me and go crazy. I just don't get it. :old:

Anyone have an explanation as to why people may do this?

Forgot who said this while trying to take a base, but the quote goes like this. "I cant help you with ack, Im not in attack mode" This is with only 2 ack up in the town while troops were there, waiting. The rest of the town was down.

Probably because they put to much importance on winning.  I used to get annoyed when I used to get shot down, but I always keep it in squad channels or to myself.  IMO if anyone ever gets too annoyed, it's time for them to Alt+F4 and do something else for a while.

Well, if you have nothing else in life it's hard not to be serious about it...

Same reason why a person will cry "HO!" when someone shoots them down from the dead six position.  It's easier to claim there was something 1) wrong with the game 2) the other guy cheated 3) the other guy HO'd/picked/vulched 4) 1, 2 and 3, than admit that the person died because they were either out flown or out fought.  A bruised ego is a funny thing.

Ignorance is the only logical explanation.   Anything else is merely an excuse.

I don't get pissed about losing so much as I get pissed about having to climb back to alt and back to the fight.

The one PM I got from Pluto a few years ago cracked me up.  Claimed I was using a Check 6 hack that would make him blow up everytime he checked 6 when I was behind him.  I tried to explain that it was in fact bursts from my guns that was causing his plane to explode but he insisted I was using a cheat instead.

Serious lack of attention to real life priorities perhaps?

If you can't 'win' at life at least you can be a 'uber pilet'?

Not saying I haven't been PO'ed in this game but getting 'killed' is my fault and due to either 1) my ineptitude or 2) facing off against a superior 'pileit'. 

It's fun but it's not real life. 

Deal, have fun, and drive on.
