I don’t really play much multiplayer these days on xbox live.
And when I do, its 3-2-1 mute. Problems solved ^_^

I remember when you originally posted this.
Can’t believe its already been that long.

I don’t trashtalk, I don’t like it, it’s not smart, and it’s not clever. If people trashtalk me I often don’t trashtalk back, because that just makes things worse. I do say Good game aswell, and I always make the games as light hearted as possible, which sometimes is hard.

EG the other day I was enjoying a good game with some mates and a load of other people, and my mates brother comes on. I’ve had problems with him before, he’s one of those shouty squeaky voiced annoying people, but I had it with him yesterday, I muted him, the only person I’ve ever muted.

Why? because even if you try and stop trashtalking and stuff, I’ll still probably get slagged off for being British for no good reason. “What are you straight up European?” “dude…are you…British?” “ugh British! fuck off!” “hey, does anyone speak English here?-English!? F you! fing english f off you english fing english i fing hate you fing english!”

(The last one only happens when there’s only French people there)

I think acknowledging a great game and getting a kick out of a great kill, no matter who pulled it off are the hallmarks of good gamesmanship.

I certainly appreciated that kind of courtesy back in my UT days.

I am proud to be one of the few who says “Good Game” and pop in comments like “nice shot” when I get sniped from across the map. But I do find it hard to go on Xbox Live very often. It feels more like a chore than anything else. Every now and then I hop on in the hopes I’ll run across somebody decent.
