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).

puddins tirrade of words is how he talks.

As much as Ive known him (quite some time now) - hes an awesome guy, and like me, Fs, Cs, Bs and other vulgarities are part of our normal conversation (I work in an engineering/mechanical warehouse... go figure.)

If you can get past the insults - and have a thick skin - Puddin is one of the best people you can hang with in this mod!

To be honest Puddin right now doesnt even want to talk to me, he said it him self "I should just put you on ignore" So I doubt hes ever wanting to play with me again,

And you know I understand, you hate people for several reasons, me because I am new to the mod.

EDIT: Aeroblade is the one who gave me the vent info and how I got to meet really nice and extraordinary people, kudos to him for making this mod feel more comfortable for me!

But to be honest I find aeroblade a really good member of this community, he doesnt care about wins or losses, he played with me a few games and we had a good chat with the enemy of the right and wrong things we did (Puddin would just verbal abuse his enemies).

And thats where I thought "hey maybe most people are like aeroblade since I heard that the communities really nice to new people "

And thats where all this started,

Granted maybe I am a bit bias in what I say, maybe im completely wrong about puddin and he could be the most honest, truthful, and caring guy ever, but thats my experience with him, and I really do hope I dont have to see that kind of thing again when I launch up this mod (even though its not under my control to tell people how they should 'act').

Thank you for your reply, maybe I'll try to be friendly to puddin again, maybe it will work out? who knows, but atleast I can try (hes probably put me on ignore by now though).

Puddin is a baddie spammer, no worries bro.

Thanks man, it makes me comfortable to know I wont be made fun of because of how bad I play (and to be honest I play a bit bad because of my fail platooning, and companies even though im top 100 for 2 v 2 automatch American for VCoH).

Its in jest - however if you are looking for someone to help you get more skilled, or help with company loadout.... Thats not puddin'

Just insult him back.  I do.  Damn fat c**t that he is.

[Mysthalin]

Puddin is most definitely an arrogant dickhead, I don't see why you care so much. He has good ideas on how to do well in the game, and he can be funny, doesn't mean he's nice, though.

Then again, I don't really see the exact reasoning behind always being nice. Offensive humour can be funny - as lucy (EiRRMod) says, just tell him to fuck the hell off.

[Demon767]

nawwww this is cute.

I understand that people don't always have to be nice, I met these kind of people all the time,

But I do recall him making fun of me through the whole game and even after that when I apologized to him for my bad manners, I thought maybe he had a bit of common sense when I praised him for being a good player to at least understand I dont want to pick a fight, but he kept going on and on and that kind of ticks me off when you trying to back off and this person just keeps trying to get at you and be 'internet tough guy'.

To be honest if I had his knowledge at least I would understand that theres a simple person being nice to him (and I do remind the fact that I didn't know how puddin acts so this was entirely judgmental on my part)

So far I have met a lot of great people in EIR so I wont say the communities bad but sour places like puddin really tick me off (when I join a vent channel first thing hes probably gonna do from now on is taunt me infront of other vent members, so I try to avoid him).

nawwww this is cute.

I am glad you enjoyed my post, and I do not blame you for liking puddin if that is what your implying, I dont find him a bad person, he tries to make me the bad person, try to get me out of teams, and make sure I am not in his vent channel and make him self the victim. But if he wants to I will let him, I am not going to say "I own this vent so let me in this channel" or "hey let me play this game" because I understand the fact that I am just a simple player trying to have fun

[tank130]

Puddin and I have had more than our share of lover's spat. One big one just recently tbh.

Puddin can be a complete asshole. He can also be a good shit when you are on his good side. Getting on his good side means supporting his spam companies and helping him win.

Bottom line is: there are more good people than bad people here. When you meet the bad people, tell them to go fuck themselves. When you meet the good people, thank them and listen to their advice.

Unfortunately the internet lets the assholes have a place to be assholes. In real life they would get slapped upside the head.

Yes Maybe I am the bad person in all of this, if you want I can agree to that, but what I say is just what i have experienced from puddin,
and to be honest you can blame me for being responsible for all of this. Maybe I should have never joined one of the few games in order to attempt to rank up my low level armor commander.

I could be putting effort to make my self look innocent if that's what you wish to believe, and you know what I wont deny, maybe i am trying a bit (heh) but I am trying very hard not to be mean and use swears or vulgar to let people listen to me, at least its better then that right?

Or how else would you recommend me making my post? I am not very knowledgeable my self and maybe you could teach me how to convey a message?

[WildZontar]

Hamster you're fine, puddin can be an asshole on most occasions and not only does everyone know, but everyone deals with it. You're really just gonn have to suck it up like the rest of us.

Yah i dont expect him to change, dont mind it either, anyways I wont say anything more about puddin, (theres a whole lot I can say thats been going on in vent right now) because I dont believe hes a a-hole, Dont believe any one is, just some people like to hurt other peoples feelings as in a way to have 'fun', its just him being a meanie thats all,

I dont hate him, I just dont like him (but I am still going to be nice to him).

Pudding is a gigantic ass and you have to hold his hand when you play with him or he will become emotional and throw away all his units.

Game over maaaan, game over.

Thats exactly what he did with his jeeps, pershings, riflemen(so did I, since his anger was directed towards me, leading to me being angry)

how did you know, are you a wizard?

[Smokaz]

No I just know that Puddin is a big baby that can't spell right and has huge sausage fingers that makes him miss the keyboard all the time. He also moans like a pregnant women when he's upset.

Or you can gall me Gandalf.

[Demon767]

omgawd you made me look like the bad guy! >.<

This ^

also he gets mad when you troll him in return and will report you nonstop till your banned, which is loltastic for me.

A lot of people are going to yell at others for failing and the fact is getting good at this mod takes time. You need to be able to micro and have situational awareness, all of which can be very hard to balance during a hectic game. People that are good just expect others to preform at their level or at least a competent level of play. Now being new means that you're more then likely not going to play at a competent level. Hell even I and some other well established players can still have a horrible game, and play like crap. How I stopped sucking was from playing with Lionel several times. He will yell the victory into you which forces you to actually pay attention and use units wisely. So if you are doing something really dumb people will say something about it and they are not calling you personally retarded but what you are currently doing with your units is retarded. So harsh words will be said but we are all friends in the end so don't take it personal dude, because there are a great set of people on here who I play countless other games with. I started out pretty fail and through the kindness/harshness of others learned how to play the game. It's a love/hate thing really just try your best to listen and that's most of us ask for.
