Dark Pulse/Whining Lamers

You know what I see on a lot of servers nowadays? Something along the lines of this.

A snippet from your average Game Chat

UT_GOD: All your gibs are belong to me!

Barak was smacked down by Visse's Rocket Launcher.

UT_GOD put a bullet through Ichthys's Head.

UT_GOD: w00t

UT_GOD was smeared by {DA}_Professional's Piston.

UT_GOD: OH MY GOD YOU SUCK CHEATER F*CKING FAGGOT HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT

Don't you just love people like this? People who come onto your server, suck up YOUR bandwidth, talk shit, and then when they die, bitch up a storm? They come in thinking they're the stuff, when in reality, they got plenty of Bark - Just not much Bite.

If you claim to be the best UT player on this Beautiful little ball of Blue, Green, and Brown, why keep playing types you don't do so good at? Seriously, are these people gluttons for punishment or something? There's a difference between not LIKING and SUCKING at a gametype. I don't like Domination in particular, but I don't suck at it. These people will purposely play what they blow goats at, just to scream and shout about people who play it and kill them. I think they're just there to make your games miserable.

And then if you kick them, they keep coming back for more. So you start Kickbanning. 5 minutes later, thanks to the Magic of Proxies, they're back in the game. You can't just add Password Protection, because you would then have to start the game anew, which is silly unless it's early on. The only solution is to make all your games pass protected, and even then it's not a garuntee they'll somehow hack the game pass. The only true way is to change your Pass every session, or your IP.

Or just do what I do: Rarely advertise your server. In the 1 1/2 years I've netplayed UT, I think I've advertised my server Thrice. If someone wants to play me, then I'll tell them the IP. But I just ain't giving it out to the world.

A Bit overdefensive? Possibly. But I've yet to encounter one of the Whiners on my server.

Its not the server's fault that someone is ass ramming themselves with your internet connection, NO ONE ELSE IS LAGGING!! NIETHER ARE YOU!! Maybe, just maybe YOU SUCK

Dark Pulse: Anything but their skills, you know. That's why I always get a good laugh out of conversations like the above, as they happen inevitably. And then I try to keep myself from laughing because someone is firing rockets in my direction, and I need to live...
