Okay. Let's do the elimination thing here...

First off,

Kenyon: Don't play your little mind games with me, they've never worked. If you feel that you don't have to "deal with it" because you "don't play anymore" or whatever the hell that was about, then why do you feel the need to stick your nose into this thread?
If you want to hang out in our community, you obey our rules, so yeah - Deal with it.

To everyone else.
I would like to point out that the comment I made in my first post on this thread was directed at laming as a whole within the JA and I stated the fact that if you make light of it, then people will think it's okay.
I made no comments directed at Spat Sniper's actions or original post other than telling him that I respected him for coming forward and apologising.

Fact: The situation with Spat Sniper was not a big deal.

The rules arn't there to be questioned, they're there to be followed. If you disagree with me or our rules, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

You guys got any problems, don't bicker about them on a public JA Forum. Come to me.

This thread gets my official Abyss stamp.

I should point out one thing. If you got lamed, or was killed while typing, or while AFK in any other game, you wouldn't care. Just treat JK3 like any other game, and you'll be fine. :D


JJ this isnt like any other game, this isnt some 1337est BS, one reason why the community has lasted how long as it has, theres a level of respect unlike any other place, follow the rules...period...or ill sick Virty on ya!!


I totally agree with you, i'm not trying to justify laming or whatever. I'm just saying, it's nothing to bust a blood vessel about. Besides, people who pull that crap don't last very long, do they? :P

Although, I have to say, I play other games, and just as an example, the group of people with whom I play Call of Duty are as respectful and fair as the people here. However, they don't complain when they're killed, mostly because it IS a game. Like I said before, it shouldn't be tolerated, but people shouldn't get angry over it. Just my opinion, of course. :)

I don't have to deal with it - I don't play anymore. So perhaps you'd rather direct your attention somewhere else. I'm not playing devil's advocate. What I am doing is critizing the people who are quoting rules in this thread. I am critizing them because they are taking the situation out of its context (that of a very small accident) and turn it into something about laming on purpose. That's not what the first post is about; it's not what Kain or Squibit were talking about either.

You can go Mr. Rules on me all you like - I'm pointing out the truth of the matter, which is that some people here are jumping the gun. Rules are important - but keeping rules in the proper context is also important. :)

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

* Doubts wether he should let this thread die slowly or post *

Okay, I was a bit suprised no-one did even think of posting this; so here goes:

Quote:

There is absolutely NO fighting or agressive action unless agreed upon. If someone is attacking you against the rules, don't fight back.


That's taken directly from the rules.

So, gripping someone who is afk - so surely did not agree on it - is "technically" a violation of the rules.

Sure, some people might NOT be offended by it personally, but as others said already, it has no point to state that here.

This really wasn't a big deal after he made the post :) It's really cool of you to post this, Spatsniper. This wasn't a big offense or anything, but the fact that you did were afraid you offended someone was a good sign.

I'm not interested in your agreeing with me, Ken. I'm stating that comments like "So what if you die? You just respawn afterwards, no harm done" doesn't set a very good example for the rules.

As I said, I'm not interested in wheather people agree with me or not, this is how it is. Deal with it.

It's posts like Kain and Squibits that get people thinking it's not a big deal to do these things. Tomorrow, everyone will be laming eachother and complaining about it.


Well, that would be true - if people were really, really stupid. Which isn't the case, I think. Like others pointed out, it was just an accident, and Kain and Squibit pointed out that there was no harm done really. What, you want everyone to jump on the bandwagon and scream bloody murder?

In fact, I'd say posts like the one quoted above insult the community's intelligence more than the relaxed replies given by members. You know I love ya, Virt, but that's one post I don't agree with at all. :)

Well, i mean it's not going to affect you alot. You'll just respawn, hardly anything to be annoyed about? Although I can understand how constant laming etc would get out of control and so none is going to be accepted, so i'll not bother trying to justify any occassion of it since it won't be accepted.

Well, I've gotta be honest - I really wouldn't like to return to my keyboard to see that I've been lamed, killed, or whatever. If it's the odd joke or accident, then it's okay. But depending on the type of situation, depends on how annoyed you'd probably be.
