Pet Peeves....

#21 What's an invisorock?
Anyway, my peeves include:
People who ask the same question over and over again
Teammates that kill you right in front of the scrum goal (a.k.a traitors)
People who employ abusive language
Little spanish speaking chichuhuahua(?) heads on tanks

Perro en fuego!

#22 I second both ben and flea. the ^ dude i call carrot, then there's double carrot. i dislike them both, as they are pests (no offense flea). then, there's this guy :. mister invisble. whats wrong with them. i propose open season on these tweaks. change your name or take a hike.

zero tolerance wednesday.

#23 Errr... 2 on 2 scum leagues that never end. Can we start the 3 on 3 league, consider the 2 on 2 league quiescent?

#24 Being endlessly spammed with: "YOU'VE BEEN CLEANED BY DA CLEANER"... Dude should spend more time playin & less time chattin

Spammers in general

#25 Bots with no [Bot] label, especially if they are named after players.

#27 I suppose i should take offense oh pesty pastry but i'm not going to =)

I don't bitch at teamates unless they are definite traitors or something; i definitely don't bitch at friendly fire in the goal, more often then not that is an accident unrelated to visibility of name. I know you didn't accuse me in particular, but i want to make sure i'm clear here. Sorry if you have trouble seeing me, i prefer just * but if it's really a problem i can switch to " Asterisk "? Is it a problem, i don't know?

My pet peeve is teammates who just trundle along with you dragging your smoking corpse just behind, and they see a health powerup and cop it just for fun without realizing how desperately you need it. I don't complain, but it is extremely irritating (especially when Ben pops over the hill and does Chrismas tree decorating on me as soon as the powerup is gone)

* or Asterisk

#28 Flea,
It is always nice to have a mule bring the ball to the goal. Shoot them and score.
Heh!
Isn't that how #1 Tankster makes his reputation.

Prey would never do such a thing.
-PREY : )

#29 Pet peeves, hmmm

#1: Loosing! (although I try to be humble about it...)
#2: Dumb Asses! (DEMO or not)
#3: Lag!
#4: Idle Tanks! (falls into Dumb Ass category)
#5: Thieves, like in BM when I've been working someone and right as their about to die, someone else comes along and takes the kill! Or when someone who doesn't need a power up takes it just before my smoking tank gets to it... Also when I'm about to score and someone on my own team "deliberately" takes the scrum from me for the score (that applies to CTF as well). I emphasize the word deliberately because often times it's accidental. So long as they apologize for it, it's no big deal...

Campers annoy the hell out of me too, but lets face it... They're a part of the game! A good scrummer knows how to get arround them. I only fall victom to campers maybe 3 out of 10 times.

I admit, I've cliff dived with the scrum before. But only when I was on the verge of dying and would otherwise give up a point. What's worse? Not scoring? or Not scoring AND giving your opponent a point? I say, not scoring... Sorry if it bugs ya, but in the great words of my wise old grand daddy... "DEAL WITH IT!!!" hehehe

NOTE TO ALL CAMPERS!!! You'll notice that Campers rarely win!!! When you do, it's because your not playing against any halfway decent scrummer! Pay attencion, you'll notice that the people who win scrum are those of us who go after it and fight to bring it to the goal! Your stratigy isn't working. If you want to win, you'd better change it...

PS: There are no invisible rocks... Just the ones you hit while moving backwards... lol, I wonder how many fell for that, hehehe

#30 Hehe..

Pet Peeve #1: When you are chasing the guy with the scrum, and he manages to get the goal one shot before he dies. (Tankster being the worst, that guy is always 2 shots from dead when he scores.)

Pet Peeve #2: When you are running with the scrum and die just before the goal. :)

Pet Peeve #3: When the scrum does a little hop right over you.

#31 Lets see. ah yes
1. lights who camp ( I dont mind heavies and mediums camping)
2.traitors in team games
3.dying right before scoring
4. the guy youve been chasing all over the field on the verge of death somehow surviving long enough to score right before dying then respawning next to the ball and goal to get a freebie( thats when i develop a twitch in my eye)

I dont know what you meant by pesty pastry but id like to think its me

#32 IM ROACH......

#33 My pet peeve is this, There's a lone blue tank in the CTF goal with the flag. The green team is up 10 points to 2, and there are 3 green tanks attacking the lone blue in the goal. Naturally they destroy the blue guy, and then one green takes the flag and runs straight off the cliff.

They have the lead, they outnumber the other team, why do they cliff dive? Just frustrates me to no end.

The other thing that frustrates me, is playing in team games and your chasing down a tank, you get him all smokey and you're about to finish him off. But one of your newb teammates decides he needs the kill, unfortunately you are between him and the smoking tank. But does that keep him from firing with reckless abandon? Nope.. he'll unload a full clip into you and then say "oops" when your braincase pops. But it's really not an oops, its him unloading a full clip when he knew he really didn't have an open shot. He just wanted to cherry pick, and didn't really care if he wiped you out or not.

#34 Wait i change my mind my #1 is that guy named ^
but he only knows me by jibgiblets
(my alter ego on TT)

also i havent seen any of the inviso rocks pointed out by z and flea.
just the one we all know and love

#35 Hey, good thread here.

Hmm, let's see... my pet peeves-

Up at the top of the list would be laaaag. Although I don't run into the dastradly stuff often, when I do, the obcenities that come out of me are quite surprising! I'm going to damage my keyboard one day, bashing the keys trying to WILL the lag away. It almost always come at the worst times too.

Next up, I can't stand it when I'm chasing down an opponent in a CTF or BM game, and I'm close to finishing him/her off, and WHAM!, one of my "teammates" SLAMS into me from the side in a reckless effort to fight the smae opponent, knocking me waaay off course. Either the other player gets the kill, or the opponent gets away. Just kills me when that happens. One thing is if you have a clear shot, and can make the kill, then by all means, do it. It IS a team effort, so I don't mind, and I've done this very thing myself, but if you have to knock me out of the way to do, you're askin' for it!

Uhm, let's see. Oh yeah! Hate when a teammate spawns from death, and sits RIGHT WHERE THEY SPWANED, not bugding an inch, wasting rounds firing away from what they feel is a "safe" distance. But here's my peeve- I get killed, I respawn, and where do you think I respawn to? Yup, RIGHT on top of the player that hasn't budged! It's like pulling teeth to get them to move, so your tank can actually hit the ground and move on. Grrrr..

When the scrum/flag does that annoying little bounce over your head, just as you're about to grab it, thus allowing another player trailing you to get it.

Spammers. Get a life!

Have to agree with Baba up above- the time it takes for a tank corpse to fade away. VERY annoying.

One last one for now. When Dan McDonald and -Z- are on the same CTF team, opposing mine. Makes it damn near IMPOSSIBLE to even score once against the dynamic duo. There should be a rule against that. LOL!

#36 #1: People who can post animated GIFs when I can't !! There is an invisirock at the base of big hill in cranium, atleast very hard to see.
