Badmitten and MNC

London Olympics, strange things seem to be happening during the Badmitten tournament.

Top teams are playing very badly, not putting on a good show at all, why? To gain a better seeding in later rounds, by purposefully losing the early ones.

The crowd realized this, and began booing. No one wants to see good players destroying a match for a petty reason.

Players on Xbox live don't want to see a team of "skilled" players using glitches and the party system to make sure they don't ever lose a single public match unless intentionally. No one is entertained by that, even vets admit that when they glitch, it's because they're "bored".

Play straight for ten mins or so, let a couple level 90 players drift over to the team with the pubs, see if something more interesting happens than 3 minute moneyball camps.

Badminton.

You win, I'm mad now.

kitteh mittens > u

:cry:

Okay, for reals now. I very rarely party stomp, and when I do it's because people just join my sessions without asking. I don't spawn camp and only toss the occasional spawn strike on a fellow forumer for sh*ts and giggles. When playing in parties larger than 2, I almost always **** around and kill people ironically (chase for a melee, sui-strike, grapple sniper/gunner etc).

You are right, there are plenty of people who spawn kill and spawn camp. I don't like it when I see it and I'll usually leave a lobby when it happens.

Sadly, your attitude is getting nothing done here. In fact, if I was to guess, it will likely happen to you more now than before. That's right, the thing that you can't stand about the game you so enjoy is only going to get worse because of the way you conduct yourself. A few of us tried to discourage you from taking the boisterous stance you did, but you ignored them and kept right on truckin'. Now you're just going to become a lowly unsuccessful forum troll in a dying community.

It's not too late. You're obviously a smart person, you just need to tone it back a bit, man.

Kitty vids are attitude now? You're just too sensitive.

Also: Xbox live players have no way of choosing the public lobby they are inserted into, there is no "custom match" option, only "quick match".

6k active players weekly.

Every 3 min game and spawn strike takes another one of those precious 6k away.

Stop making excuses and do something about it, insist that people in your games play in a non-toxic manner, and if they don't, then don't play with them anymore.

Stop saying i'm the problem for "having the wrong attitude" and present a form of verbal challenge that will accomplish what you claim my public shaming cannot.

I never said you were the problem. I said the way you conduct yourself isn't doing anything but indirectly making the problem worse.

At least 30% of the people on my Friend List are there almost exclusively for Private Matches. The rest of them don't chain juice, glitch, spawn kill or spawn strike. The people I choose to play this game with are not a part of the problem.

I'm not going to go on some f*cking video game crusade that will never be won because there are a few percent of us that can't play by the rules. It's not going to happen.

I definitely respect your convictions, but with that troll demeanor, nobody is going to take you serious. They just won't.

And here's the problem. You don't like this game enough to put in that effort to save it. That's ok, I just downloaded this game a couple weeks ago so my fresher sense of enjoyment gives me hope for this game approaching a dignified end like Halo 2, with over a hundred thousand logged in until the second they pulled the plug, instead of being glitched into non-existence by pubstompers.

Now, you probably just think i'm feeding these people, but unlike you, petty insults aren't my bag, i'm here to understand why you're such a toxic and terrible force in the games you're in. The formula actually has quite a good track record:

1. I'm not mad, i'm very disappointed.
2. I inquire as to the negativity in life which has caused them to act this way, most trolls are neglected, abused, and generally unhappy in life, helping them come to terms with this can de-toxify them, at least for a time.
3. I genuinely wish for good and positive things to happen in their miserable lives, so they can let go of behaving this way.
4. For the worst of the worst, you can only really say, "I love you as my fellow human being, because that's what Jesus/Buddah/Anton LeVey told us to do, you poor bastard."

I don't think there's a problem with the formula, dude. It's your application.

1. I'm not mad, I just call names and insult people.
2. "Why you mad though lol"
3. Spew a bunch of insults and follow it up with well-wishes.
4. Well, I haven't seen you butcher this one yet. Edit incoming, I'm sure...

I liked the part where he said "petty insults aren't my bag" but then proceeds to do nothing but insult. I mean, he can't maintain consistency of thought for even one posting :lol:

1. You think of the words "cheater" "glitcher" and "kid" as insults, I see them as simple pronouns assigned to certain types of behaviors.

2. Since i'm not mad, i'm in quite a position to enjoy the anger of those who are used to being fed by petty "I fucked your mom, bro" comments, so, "umad?" remains a valid and useful tool in this context.

3. See 1.

1. n00b, scum

2. I beta tested your mom.

3. see XBL profile.

1. Again, pronouns.

2. It's a t-shirt, buy it.

3. Only cheaters and glitchers are offended by my profile.

Just like "niggers", "kikes", "quadroons" and "spicks" are used to associate different type of people right?

You may not be mad, but you sure seemed ultra concerned when someone has a rebuttal to your comments/suggestions or ideas. Just an observation.

Pronoun, Slur, two different definitions, learn them kid.

If I were concerned, you'd get more than 1 liners.

I'm pretty sure you're deadeye, got to be.

Then he spent a lot of money on a gamerscore boosted alt or took a few years off to build the perfect troll account.

I hope it is. That means that I got Deadeye mad :lol:
Smurph is on the PM list, I sent him invite to do PM matches, but he didnt accept. He didn't appear online, but he never does because he hides so I just sent them blind. I will give him the benefit of the doubt and say he didn't get them.
