I've had enought of it.

I get a game going, wait 20 min to have it full, start the game and find that a stupid IDIOT got artilery when the battle name is battle no art.
When asked to switch it off he called me a dumbass and said that he did not have any honor anyway.

I'm pissed and fed up of such idiots.
I'm able finally to find the time to play and then get such jerks in my game.

Bahhh

Sorry for all the other guys that did not have any fault in this, but I quit the game cause I was pissed, closing the server.

Better just play clan wars.

Sorry to hear about your problem. There will be idiots wherever you go. I don't understand the mentality of people who join games and then break the rules. This is a stretch, but maybe he didn't understand what no art meant. I gather from your strong wording that this isn't the first time this has happened. Shame on them.

How did you frame the objection? The more harshly you rebuke someone the more defensive and snotty they will get. If you were a little too strident in pointing out his violation then it might have contributed to his language.

Granted, the guy could be a bastard, but maybe as Gregoshi points out he was too new to appreciate no art.

I don't doubt that the intarw3b is fully of pricks, but sometimes people act like pricks only when they are getting defensive.

I don't understand why people don't like it when people use art. All you need to do is get some cavalry near them and they're gone. A whole unit is just scared off. I'd rather have a unit of men than have art. Also, art does make us more sophisticated (I was one of those guys who didn't know what art meant the first time).

Every player who has been around for more than a week has the same type of story - someone who won't adhere to the rules, or won't communicate or help out. In pre-patch MTW it was always quitters we complained about - when they routed they would quit, and crash the game.

My impression is that the average quality of MTW players is higher than other games, and there are lots of decent folks in the lobby. Please don't let a few less-than-honorable type cause you to leave the MP community.

The lack of honor by some online is very frustrating. One can be a jerk and hide behind the anonymity of the internet and there is little anyone else can do.

Try these ideas:

Using private chat, invite folks that you know you will enjoy fighting with. We frequently organize a 4v4 'behind the scenes' and then use the password feature.

Use the #ignore and #ban functions. Once someone intentionally ruins a game add him to your list.

Before the game starts clearly spell out the rules, firmly but politely let everyone know that you will end the game if anyone breaks those rules.

Note to Grego - please move this to Jousting Fields maybe some other MP guys have some more thoughts

Good idea ichi (as are all your ideas). Moving to the Jousting Field forum.
