It's getting real irritating.

yea i agree with u master virus... but somtimes i do get sorta set off by ppl asking stuff like whats lol mean... but i just tell them what it means and i dun say ne thing mean. cuz we were all noobs at one point.

What do want me to say to this? I personally think that its fine if people want to beat a map and not have nubs in it to throw them off. I mean, in RPGs especially, its really, really gay to have a sucky nub on ur team.. that goes for melee too, but i say that melee is okay to have some newbs in it, cuz a majority of sc bnet players arent pro. As for defense maps, i say that if the creator wants to beat the map, then its fine to not have them. but if its just for the heck of it then nubs should be welcomed. There is my 2 cents anyhow.

I guess it never occurred to you that perhaps the game host was looking for experience not trying to single out lagers. And further more watching how fast some one downloads a map isn't a way to test lag (not in the slightest)

When you download a map in the game chat window you are downloading from a specific user also in that game. Contradictory to popular believe, everyone does NOT download from the host. The download connection is made on a peer to peer basis.

When one person is downloading one other person is uploading. When they finish both people who have the map will upload to two more players and the pattern continues like that. It is impossible for your download to be faster than the upload therefore if a 56k user already has the map, the person downloading from him will receive the map slowly, and likely get banned because of it.

If you pay attention to this, it explains a lot about the downloads that people don't get. Like how a person will download a lot faster after rejoining (downloading from a different user), or the download freezes (uploader leaves). It’s a really simple concept, yet it seems no one is aware of it.

PS. When your banned from a game simply switching acounts will not allow you back in the game. If you are able to join it is because the person opened the slot you were in instead of banning you.

I feel real smart that i knew all that. Simple logic really. And i know nothing about computers :-/

I have been mean to "newbies" on Warcraft 3 and I remeber that I used to be one now I feel stupid, but on Starcraft I never insulted anyone unless they pissed me off and called me a newbie for beating. Lwek, you're right, we should be nicer to "newbies" because we were all newbies once. Yeah, but it is nice to play an RPG without a newbie, but if you let him play and teach him how to play, he'll eventually get better and if he can host, play it on his own. So, you could spread maps around everywhere and that would be cool.

I remember asking that question, I asked some chick on aim and she said "laughing out loud". She didn't insult me or anything but i was like "hey, Its not funny I really don't know what it means"

I have a friend that ask me what all the Internet Slang/Abriviations are now cause i chat alot and know most of them.

theres one thing i dont get why do some people make games with tittles like

Cannon D- NO BLACK PPL!

Lol, it's just for kicks. I do it sometimes, but not saying black people.

When I make a game (which is rare), I'll ask if there are any newbs and try to explain the map to them.

I will only ban people if I get the sense that they are a newb and don't fess up, or I don't like it. I have the right to be an asshole, and I will use the powers I'm given when I make a map to the situations' extent.

Kao I agree with you, I can't make games so I wouldn't really know. But it does seem fair how you let them download and try to explain it to them.

Yes, you have the right to be an asshole. But, as I explained before, how far will you get in life if you continue to be an asshole? Give newbs a chance as you were given a chance.

Treat people how you would like to be treated.

That rule isnt always true because I treat people how I want to be treated and they don't treat me how I want them to.

Answer: assholes that think they're cool.
Sorry if I'm trolling. I just have to use strong language to get a point through.

Just because I am an asshole on the internet means nothing. I'm completly different in person, and I don't really have any enemies, because I try to get along with everyone. And in games where it clearly says "PRO" or NO NOOBS, and there is one, I turn into an asshole and don't stop flaming/killing him until he leaves. He knows he shouldn't have been here, and didn't know what he was doing, so he needed to be punished.
