Fyunch Click Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 BTW SpaceMonkey, it's called a vocabulary. (and I don't own a thesaurus) It prevents you from being limited to words of less than two syllables. Plus it allows you to say exactly what you mean. If a word exists with the exact meaning you wish to use then you should use it. My suggestion to you is to not be so angry at those who have a larger vocabulary than you and try and gain one yourself. You can start by reading things called books.

[del] Twitch Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Oh, this is a little off topic, but I just read the book American Gods, and figured I should recommend it here. - Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a word exists with the exact meaning you wish to use then you should use it. ok, right, you call someone whatever you want to, regardless of if they dont care you can get more than a short word in there...and i'm sure all the english majors out there will back you up in your quest for bringing full, perfect english into computer games...well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorax Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 I never understood the use of 'gay', so I just have my standard binds to deal with the little twerps that use it. 'You seem obsessed with your sexual orientation.' 'Please seek gay support groups, they will help you understand your feelings and you can meet others like yourself' - My fav- 'Gay? No I am not gay, but your inquiry is flattering. Seek a gay chat room where you will find others who share your sexual orientation' [EDIT]These always shut the kids up [/EDIT] - Vorax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyunch Click Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 Mind if I borrow some of those Vorax? I particularly like the third one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomservo51 Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 I prefer to bind all my insult so I dont have to type during the game. Really saves your neck. Plus you can use really long words!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taicat Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 LOL @ everyone. You mean you actually stop playing to read? Here are the phrases I have bound: N1 GF GG OMG LOL I've found the best way to deal with 'chat spammers' is the last one. Padawan: That was ghey Taicat: LOL Padawan: Lame Taicat: LOL Padawan: You (expletive-deleted), that <enter force power here, with suitable expletive) is cheap! Fight like a <expletive> man! Taicat: LOL Padawan: Don't you ever say any-<expletive>-thing else, you <expletive>? Taicat: LOL Frustrates the heck outta them, and they get tired of it and try spamming someone else.... I guess the point of this is, if you allow them to get to you, and you respond in kind, then they are you! ROTF! As an aside, if all the spamming is too much for you, turn off in-game chat on your end..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorax Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Thats fun too But I find my binds shut them up after the first 'ghey' or 'gay' Idiots that talk like that probably just lack the intellectual capacity to come up with a decent comeback, so they just lay off. Either that or they are camped in a corner with the console down trying to focus on the big words. Burning their few active brain cells trying to work out the meaning of the taunt. (Duhh...what's sexual orientation mean? Dad, what does dat mean? ) - Vorax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coronog Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Originally posted by IBFukn I think it's funny when people keep calling me a fag or something of that sort, cause that usually means that I'm kicking their ass and they're getting upset. My Advice, do whatever you were doing to make them say that till they start to cry and leave the game. Then you can have a good laugh with your friends after about how you made that guy leave. You must be one bored little piggy if you think kicking someone out of a computer game by beating them is material people go and speak about whilst with friends. Get a life, sonny boy.

H.B.M.C. Posted April 20, 2002 Share Posted April 20, 2002 Originally posted by crystals Is it only 12 year olds that use these words?? Everytime I read those words I get flashbacks of 6th grade when all the kids would say that. Get a new word for cryin out loud...I know your vocabulary isn't that small whether your twelve or not. Y0u 4r3 t3h g4y!! G0 b4c|< to b3i/\/g g4y \/\/i7h ur /\/\0/\/\/\/\y! *ahem* My point is that I agree with you, as you can see how totally stupid and juvenile the above "L337 $p34|<" is. And I didn't even use the words Lamer and Lame in it! But I do have to say this, get used to it. 99% of the online gaming community (and that includes a percetage from here too) are stupid, inconsiderate freaks who hate losing, don't really know how to have fun, would cheat just to win, and will call anybody "gay", "lame" or a whore of some kind just to show hough "t0ug|-|" they are. It's sad, but it's the truth. :rolleyess In other news: This smiley rocks! BYE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walldude Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Whats the point in insulting someone anyway? If you doing it because you are losing it makes you a wuss, if you are doing it because you are winning it makes you an a**hole.. I've been insulted over my freakin handle, choice of saber color, choice of character before I even get up to duel. Gee, wanna bet it's always by some punk playing on his mommys computer, who never takes his stance off heavy because he really can't PLAY he has to rely on being lucky enough to hit me once... People like this are ruining what is really a brilliant and fun game.. If I'm whining so be it, I'm married with 3 kids and don't have alot of gaming time and I hate wasting it getting pissed off at some punk loser... I wish they would go back to UT and Q3 and leave Jedi to the Star Wars fans.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Warrior Posted April 21, 2002 Share Posted April 21, 2002 Right on mate, All this calling people homos and all that sillines has gotta stop! Would anyone playing this game want their kids to grow up using words like these to describe people? And this IS A GAME which kids play so please go easy on the insults and abuse PLEASE!!!!

[del] Twitch Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Unfortunately it's something that has permeated society to the extent that gay jokes are running rampant through movies and other media, and I expect nothing less of this culture to follow suit like cattle. - Twitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
