Today, I stopped by BYOND for a while to play REO for a bit, and all I got was a huge mouthful of abuse from a bunch of noobs who have a reputation for this kind of thing.
I grab 3 of the 235769bajillion grenades, and one of them gives me Hell for ammo hogging, and claimed I snatched up all the NATO ammo. Well excuse me cause I have a 300 round clip, and there's millions of NATO, get them yourself.
Same game, they give me more Hell for screwing with their small fort, which was leaving the entire front of the gaming area exposed to mass zombie-attack, and the back door was being smashed in because some idiot didn't close the shutters.
So I close the shutters and one guy gives Hell over the server because he was locked out and zombies were closing in, and he got eaten alive before I could reopen it because some people like to take the best defense we have and turn it into a pillow fort, which is getting torn up by more zombies by the way.
So, needless to say, we get slaughtered and they claim it's my fault because I hogged the ammo and grenades, even though there were 235769bajillion in the start area and I took 3, and every one of them were using shotguns which got a nasty nerf in the latest update.
So yeah, they banned me from the server despite, or because of, my score of 322 kills, which is a fairly impressive number, because I hog ammo, screw with the fort, locked people outside and ruined everything.
One look at the kill ranks told me that they barely broke 150 kills each.
I remember when games were supposed to be fun, this is why I stay at imageboards.

Basically, taking something powerful and rendering it completely useless
Childbirth and motherhood did that to me!Posted: Sun Jan 27, 2008 04:36 am Post Subject:
That is all in the gaming world, but even when we send emails or talk on forums, I don't think that people realize that what they type may be taken out of context by those reading it. I have always heard that if you are typing in caps that you are yelling, it makes sense. I guess we don't realize how the person on the other end of the typed conversation will take it, something we should think about though. Just my thoughts, LOL.

I never have a problem with ALL CAPS, I have my e-mail set up so that anything that is more than 70% caps is automatically sent to the deleted files folder. That and it trashes a lot of other things. I hate ALL CAPS things to the point where I rip up a document that has one of those PARAGRAPHS WITH ALL CAPITALS AND NO PUNCTUATION.
Why do they do that anyway? I bet it's to do with the fact nobody is going to read it, only way to stop that is to set it alight and leave it on the guys desk and walk calmly out the door.
Then head straight for Mexico.

HEY QUENLINE CHILL DUDE! ha ha had to do it...just had to....You know I didn't know that (all caps was yelling) I think till I came on this board...Tcope has an issue with it too, and has pointed it out to some posters (not mean, just ''quit yelling")...After I found that out though, I reserve caps for when I am yelling, or want to emphasis a particular word or words.....There are so many 'little' tricks.
Quenlin, aren't you afraid a friend or something could be sending you an all cap email?

That is just what I have always heard, I take it offensively since, LOL, I don't type in all caps unless I AM YELLING. It always made sense to me. I suppose it could be used as a way to get someones attention, LOL.
