This is some background information if you really care,
Ive been registered to this mod a long time ago, The reason I had stopped playing is because of constant NAT errors due to my bad connection, back then there were plenty of nice people to hang around with even though I couldnt play games.
and now I Want an honest opinion on this,
lately I met really good people who are willing to put up with mistakes(FiddleStix thanks man) I make since I am not able to unlock much as a starting armor company commander, and then I meet the sour place of this community which I dont mind much you know since I understand not every one can be nice.
But still I have not been able to play with many people, so I try to go to vent and try to make friends out of people,
one of these people being puddin,
Im sure people who played this mod long enough know how he acts but please do tell me not every one acts like him?
So yesterday I saw puddin's name on vent for about a hour before he left thats how I got to know him and play in another game that we had today,
we played on a normandy(3 v 3) map and instantly he starts making fun of the map creator for making the territories 'to wide'
Later he criticizes one of our team mates of how he seems to be 'bad', I said ok, maybe hes joking around.
Later he criticizes me for failing to target a nebelwerfer while a mg, 2 volks, storms and a sniper are all around my rifles, Granted I took that this was my mistake as I let me units auto target something (told em to stop, funnily targetted the mg hehe).
Then he criticizes the fact that I am capturing territory with my rifles instead of helping a defensive stance in the middle (maybe he was planning an offensive so it could be my bad).
I criticized him, saying he had no right to make fun of people, he responded with vulgar words starting with C, F, B and all the swears you can name from the bible.
I was suprised, at first, I thought he was joking around so i slapped those words right back at him,
later I realised he was being serious about calling me these words,
I find it funny though, how emotionally people can be effected by a simple game, I can understand that he wanted his best effort to win but yet taunting and saying "im against you, not with you" will not help your team succeed,
I tried hard to cope with him, I said sorry to be greeted with words such as "noob", I told him he was a good player to receive the same insults, I pinged the map of important enemy locations and attacks that would hurt us only to be told "you need a microphone or your a noob" (implying he wont listen to anything I have to say).
Later I got angry, I mean who couldnt get angry at this guy? I thought he was trolling me at first but this guy was being so serious I thought he was a red neck, although that mind sound harsh thats what I was really thinking, later it became a heated argument which resulted in our loss due to us not being able to cope with the fact that maybe its good to listen to your team mates about the game once in a while.
After that he proceeded to boast about how he had the highest score and how his team mates were noobs (to be honest he was happy with the fact he had 200 more score then me and 9 more kills while having the highest death ratio).
Now I have to remind you, this man joined my channel, and made fun of as many people as he can, since I didnt like it, he chose to call me noob, swear at me, and be as vulgar as possible to demoralize me for trying to talk back. After the game puddin started to say "4 v 4? LOL with a noob? KIK"
hardly made sense to me, but since he said 'noob' I thought he meant me, I might as well just say sorry once again,
so I did and he replies with "LOL not you, you idiotic noob".
And then I finally said sorry again until he completely ignored me and started to make fun of other people,
Funny thing is most people agree with this man, saying that he is right about everything he did here, and that ticks me off to see me shamed for just playing this mod alone.
Im not saying "fix the attitude" rather I am just pointing out my experience as a 'new' player to how I was greeted into this mod,
While I am typing this I am angry (you can say to me "U MAD?" and I will humbly accept your opinion as that is how I feel right now) and to be honest who cannot be angry when you have some internet tough guy telling you how bad you are and why I dont deserve to play with "high ranking players" in this mod.
So to make it short for people who do not wish to read my wall of text,
Is every person a fine example of 'puddin' in this mod? Do I have to deal with name calling everytime I play a game?(Since most people like and agree with puddin and who wouldnt, youd like to agree with the person you know more rather then some new guy who just joined the game).
Even if it is the case, I love this mod and will continue to play it even if I am demoralized a hundred times (puddin's obviously all over this) since I really think it has a great mechanic and I shouldn't ruin it because of some goof ball who decides to ruin every ones fun.
P.S. - Puddin if your reading this, I hope you had a good time in Carolina
(no sarcasm of course, and you can continue to hate me for being nice to you, doesnt mind me).
