Etiquette
There are lots of things that newbies do to annoy veterans on
servers.
- Discard after you load up with equipment so that someone who needs
the ammo gets it.
- Don't flood with multiple line messages - we all know how to do it
and you are stupid.
- Don't block exits when you are typing away, this will annoy whoever
is trying to get past you.
- Don't keep asking "how do i ...?". People on servers are
usually there to play a game.. want some answers read the f@$#ing manual (RTFM). most
questions can be answered if you get off your own butt and look it up. Plus there's the
bonus of finding something else along the way. You can also use newsgroups and sites like
this one to find out info.
- Don't Cross Dress... for example being on the red team and changing
your shirt color to blue which makes it harder to determine what team you are on.
- When travelling into your own base and you are approaching a defender
shoot at the wall to let them know you are not a spy, if you don't do this and get shot do
not attack the other player... YOU are in the wrong.
- Don't cheat.... losers cheat, cheating is not hard or clever, plus
everyone will think you are a wanker.
- Join the team with the least players when connecting unless the
smaller team is WAY ahead of the other team. If someone asks you to change after you
arrive please do so, players already on the server know the ebb and flow of battle and
will know who needs an extra player.
- Don't shoot your own team - go have a toss instead.
