Gents, I hope we can let this thread go. As entertaing as it was, it is off topic, unconstructive, and isn't what this community has ever been about. I am not about to say "can't we all just get along" but can't we all just kill each other with cool tanks and weapons of mass destruction like civilized folk?

A: If they are in target range when they start chating, kill them. They shouldn't have started.
B: If one is responding to someone near them, I can drive AND chat at the same time. Its called get your movement down, don't press "space" and don't release the forward "arrow" you can type "ouch" or such without leaving combat.
C: Long messages: If its in responce, let them respond. If they are initating it, give them a chance but if another tank comes over to make a kill - kill them first.
D: Big chat between players...use a mass driver and throw them both off the map so they don't interupt your game

no offense of course.

to weatherman, on your first question, I think if someone is chatting they are free reign. if i run downstairs to get another beer i don't expect people to not shoot me. if your an open target to someone, and an enemy, it's open season.

I have played in quake sessions where guys on a team have come up with code. they just type out one word or letter, like "a" = "i need help" etc etc..

Also, if someone has left their terminal, or taking a long time typing, I'm not going to sit there and frag them 20 times in a row .. its pointless and boring to kill someone who's not doing anything.

..and to vlad, on the second responce in here, if a team-mate has almost killed someone and another team-mate finishes the kill, I welcome that.. I consider it team work. It is something that should be talked about before-hand if possible. If you'd rather finish your kills, let it be known to other players. Personally, if I waste the hell out of someone and my teammate comes out of nowhere with an MRL volley, I'd give him a high-five if I could. Or if you can corner an opponent while your team-mate hammers the hell out of em, it's a good assist.

Just my two cents to an already huge thread.

something like this:

when you have a nuke and a good shot at a cluster of tanks, but 1 tank is on your team do you:
O just shoot and accept your frags
O warn the team mate and hope they can move
O warn everyone just to watch them run away
O move on to find a cleaner target
O warn everyone just to watch them run away, then move on to find a clean target while youre laughing at the little scurrying insects.

stuff like that. might be kinda fun to compile it all. most polls will only accepot someone voting once too. just a thought, somethin to do to keep life interesting.

I have no problem with "humanoids kicking my butt all over the map" as it is a game, and not something a rational person would take personally.

Paranor, try to warn the team mate a second after you send the nuke. That way your not feeling too guilty for scattering him across the map. Like JVortex said, it is a worthwhile trade. If I'm playing on a team with any of you, feel free to use me as a sheild, or to guide your nukes towards their target.

Take the nuke poll...

We should compile some questions and I/someone can build an entire form to fill out.
