I went "undercover" on this... I created several noob accounts, and did things like this...
I asked If I they could hold their turn while I went to the bathroom...
people rated 600 - about 950 almost always said no/spent turn immediatly to try to make me surrender, only 7 did not
950 up:
about half the people I tried this on said sure, the other half just spent their turn normally and ignored me, however, people that tried to scam me spent their turn immediatly

im workin on some other tests right now (Yea, this will influence some people to be nicer, but isn't that what we need, a nicer server? i mean, banff is great, but there will always be scammers and other rude people)

thats life, theres always scammers, and rude people..

go to another country, ask people that don't speak your language for help. will all of them be nice? no, you then wouldn't say there all rude, or kind..

"To gain respect, you must earn respect."

Half those people proably just thought you were trying to buy time, so you can annoy them into leaving.

Well, I wanted to go through a lot of people. I surrendered frequently. its why I didn't use my normal account... so I suppose It could be flawed...

There really is no point to this test...

You can just observe people in the lobby, say things that nobody would normally say, and see the reaction of other people.

Or...


"To gain respect, you must show respect."

Actually, that quote is flawed. I wrote it wrong. >.<

"To gain respect, you must show respect."

Haha, the quote I had is halarious, it almost said the same thing twice.

Meh, I don't show any type of disrespect towards someone i do not know. It's just not me.

Unless they are clan members, then i flame the crap out of them. :)

if any golds are trying to scam you, get screenshots. It's a deletable offense.

A majority of the people are nice. Get on Volcoms good side and trust me, you'll be hooked up for banners for life:p

Well any test that you have done..or doing...really isnt accurate at all. Basing a server upon some grey games...doesnt say much. If you want to be a little more precise...go for golds. They represent the server better just because they paid to play on THAT server.

But you still cant link a server to being nice or mean...jus the people who play there.

Every server is going to have their ups and downs; its a fact of life and a fact of TAO.

lol....

wolf uses his tur to find the best grey... although they hv very slim chances of surviving....btw.. most of them challenge my tur.... just like i did when i was grey n is not a deletable offense.

well... HK.. what should i say??? hmmm

how about:

1. Focus your modding more on the grey ppls.... cuz they r mostly the ones who r giving troubles in the servers.
2. Less golds need to be regulated (noobs golds only).... the vets like me knows the drill of the game.
3. Stop crying, be strong, keep your in-game-mod image high... u will need it.

NO NO NO, don't do that. Dape plays on banff, if you observe lobby chat you will leave and never come back because of Dape XD

As for me, I'd always wait for a person to go to the bathroom and stuff. I'd get really annoyed though if they perposely draw out time EVERY TURN. *cough:Slyvester scams like that:cough*

I'll admit to being very rude when I'm losing because of a scout side block, or if a block I didn't get changed the game. I would never scam though.

I generally don't rat people out, I just tell them I will report them and that they will be banned. My hope (yea, its probably a dilusional one) is that people will change to a path of good

Well I'm not sure how the other servers are since I only play on Banff, but I think the community's good there. You're always going to have a few spammers, cyberers, and a**holes (Except for when the mods are slammin' the ban-hammer), so it really doesn't matter which server you go to. You'll probably end up liking the first one you go to best.

By the way, what constitutes as scamming? The F5 trick, getting people to say censored words; that kind of stuff?

Well, go to the bathroom before you start a game. I do every time.

Aye, its deletable under "scamming".

Can a person be deleted with just one report?

Because lets say I wanna be an Ahole and s/s a clan match when having some joking scamming fun...but a simple s/s cant say much bout what really happened??

So..is it immediate deletion..warning...or some sort of trial/ investigate to see both sides of story?

I tend to play on banff.

A few weeks back I tried to fit a quick game in before a lecture. The guy I was fighting seemed alright, so I told him that I didn't have long to play so could we keep the turns quick.

Naturally as soon as I started winning he started extending his turn.

All ended for good however, as told him the lecture had just got cancelled, he surrendered and then was surprised when I turned down a rematch due to lack of time.

Almost as satisfying as beating people who cuss out the whole game.

I've been on banff for almost a year now, people are not kind. Like Dape (tommy_gun) and some others. But some people are nice, its like any other server, but you can't seem to get a gold to play you XD
