MP ettiquette: Or things that tic you off.

[DrSpike]

Average I'd say..........my gf, some uni friends, some old schoolfriends, and some gamers, comprising of civvers, Quake and Warcraft players.

I often manually rename them anyway, so maybe I don't see the problem occur. When I don't the name is always resolved when I talk to the person.

Also I don't add random people, or let random people appear on my list. Since I always add people for a reason this means I will interact with them at some point, which again makes it more unlikely that the problem would affect me.

[War4ever]

i used to be the same way....and some times i just add people....but me thinks i should change my ways

[rah]

I should too, but when the reason says CIVII MP, it's always hard to not authorize. Just call me sucker.

[Ming]

Whenever I get a request these days... I usually decline unless they say CIV II MP. And whenever I get those silly numbers, I just decline and ask, who the hell are you and why should I care

[War4ever]

do we sound jaded ?

[rah]

I used to say no to authorization to just numbers, but as Spike said, they sometimes associate afterwards. A couple of times i've declined and said, supply a name instead of just a number only to get back a response from one of the ole timers saying they got a new icq number and were redoing the authorization. Doh!

So now I just accept and if no name is forthcoming, eventually delete them. But it is discouraging because you have to assume that the only reason they asked was that they were interested in playing but never did. There aren't enough of us left to be further discouraging new or old blood.

Another thing that tics me off...

when somebody falls asleep during the game




I just had to say it before somebody else did

[rah]

Or someone forgets they're playing a game.

[War4ever]

BELCHING into the icq phone irritates me

or people who goto p!ss then forget they were talking to someone ......

[rah]

I REFUSE TO GIVE UP DRINKING DPs and BEER. Deal with it.

Which also relates to your second objection.

[DrSpike]

Rah would you reply to my PM please.

Thanks.

[War4ever]

i also love the icq talking in the late game on saturday nights...apart from the first 20 turns, just darth vader on the other line....

Yes, lots of smokes, lots of booze, lot's of respiratory distress. Unless you're listening to low level snoring.

so thats it.........u must use the force when you play then....pretty good for an old timer

[rah]

Hmmm, You can't roll up the force and smoke it. So it must be something else.
