| Armchair Rommels | |

| Recently I've been in a few matches where, when it's obvious | |
| we're getting chewed up, some expert :sceptic: tanker comes on | |
| game chat to berate the rest of the team for his demise and our | |
| loss. Usually this is in the most condescending manner he can | |
| muster and that attitude really pisses me off. A foul mouthed, | |
| swivel-eyed rant is understandable (sometimes), but the whole | |
| "I'm better than you scrubs" stuff just makes me want to punch | |
| kittens. | |
| Do you get this much? If so, how do you deal with it? | |
| I really want to call these people out and have a go at them, | |
| but can't do with the hassle. | |
| What ticks me off even more is that these fine specimens usually | |
| end up half way down the results sheet. Even if they top the | |
| sheet though, they still get my blood boiling. | |
| :pissed: :pissed: :pissed: | |

| Simple just ignore them. I hear them from time to time even some | |
| bozo yelling at me to stop hiding behind cover and fight lol. | |
| Look to see their contributions and its nil. Basically just mute | |
| them. Thet aren't worth your time to respond. | |

| Yesterday, lakeside, chap kept getting in my way as I was | |
| shooting we had the valley tied down me, and another TD, kept | |
| the reds bottled up and when they tried to get over we nuked | |
| them, and this prat kept trying to get over the hill blocking | |
| our field of fire, we both asked him to pull back, but oh no. | |
| after the reds stopped trying to get through the valley, | |
| and/died we headed for the lakeside road and again he did the | |
| same thing. Then got killed and blocked the road. Must admit to | |
| ranting a bit about that. | |

| I used to get annoyed but now I enjoy their rantings. I imagine | |
| their face turning purple and wonder how long they are taking | |
| off their lifespan. | |
| Had a guy this morning, not ranting, we won the game and he | |
| survived. He gave a running commentary on his game. He spent the | |
| entire match complaining. Fucking enemy lights spotting him, | |
| fucking enemy tanks shooting at him, his fucking shots only | |
| fucking tracking OpFor tanks. This went on for the entire match. | |
| I imagine he is fun to live with | |

| I don't hear it often, but I feel your pain. It is frustrating | |
| to listen to. Muting is a good solution. Arguing with them | |
| never seems to help. | |
| I did run across one of these the other day. The map was mines, | |
| and "E. Rommel" was sniping from the spawn and yelling over the | |
| mic to let the reds come over the top of the hill in the middle, | |
| because he couldn't shoot any of them. (we had control of the | |
| hill top, so the reds couldn't come up without being torn up). | |
| I told him that wasn't a good idea and he proceeded to rage. | |
| The match came to the clean up phase (we were winning) and he | |
| started yelling at a T71 driver (very good player by the way) to | |
| go find the last reds. | |
| You guessed it E. Rommel was at the bottom of the results. | |

| I'm in the "mute" crowd on this. I usually mute them the second | |
| they start because you just know what they're going to carry on | |
| about and if you let them go on you get left with a foul taste | |
| in your mouth. Funny thing is I started a random game the other | |
| day and noticed a muted tweaker on my side. I am guessing that | |
| once you mute them once they stay muted so if you ever run into | |
| them again you won't have to put up with their bulls#@t. | |

| It is fun though when things look bad and defeat looks | |
| imminent...Rommel starts his rant and then the remaining few | |
| pull a surprise win out of the bag. | |
| Had this a few days ago on Live Oaks...we spawned NE and split | |
| pretty evenly with me and a few others going along the train | |
| tracks to the SW corner. The majority went W along the top of | |
| the map. We ran into some opposition and it took a while to dig | |
| them out but as we were crossing the river near the second | |
| bridge, Rommel comes over the comms lamenting about how the main | |
| push in the north had collapsed and that us idiots in the south | |
| should have helped out. Well, we just rolled into the cap and | |
| defended it easily for the win. I felt like giving him a hearty | |
| "You're welcome!" after he grudgingly called it a "cheap win", | |
| but I suspect this guy wouldn't be happy if he got all 15 kills, | |
| a congratulatory BJ from his celebrity of choice and a record | |
| breaking Lotto win just to round it off. Some people can't let | |
| themselves be happy. | |
| I should mute these clowns but if I hear them it makes me play | |
| better, I guess, just to prove them wrong. I'm a contrary | |
| bugger, you see... | |

| I have a few solutions or rather ways that I handle | |
| these...people, and I use the word people loosely. First thing | |
| to remember is that it's some douche bad of a human that is | |
| already dead and mad that he didn't get to steal everyone's | |
| kills to get his top gun award. Here is a list of what I do, I | |
| mention mute because it's already mentioned and generally I only | |
| mute the annoying sound blasters that will not be quiet, my wife | |
| and I like to listen to the ...bitches... | |
| 1. I just keep laughing at them as they speak and piss them off | |
| even more. Telling them how funny they are and what not sends | |
| them through the roof. | |
| 2. Every time they say something I cough, endlessly. | |
| 3. I sometimes just ignore them. | |
| 4. Ask if they have sand in their vaginas because they are | |
| really bitchy. | |
| 5. This is my favorite. I ask where they are so I can come help, | |
| then when they say they're dead because "everyone went to the | |
| wrong side of the map" I just say, damn, you're out already? | |
| Glad I didn't follow you or I would be dead too. Thanks for | |
| taking one for the team and finding all the reds for us. | |
| Yes, I'm an asshole, I own, I'm president of the assholes club | |
| (always accepting new members), and I don't care how people | |
| think I should play this game. I play to not only try and win, | |
| but to kill lots and lots of other tanks. I try not to go ways | |
| that I am used to seeing the red lemming train come down, | |
| because those lemmings will over run me and take me out. When I | |
| go out because I make a fool error, I laugh. These vermin are | |
| usually drunk Hillbilly's or wanna be thugs and NOT | |
| rednecks...lol (you had to be there for that one). I do get mad | |
| if there is one tank left and he finds a place to hide and the | |
| reds have two tanks, I know it's possible to beat them, you just | |
| have to try. Well, that's my rant, I doubt this helped but it is | |
| what it is. | |

| I had one a few nights back on Erlenberg. | |
| It came down to myself and another TD against 6 reds. I'm tier 7 | |
| and they are 8's and 9's. :hiding: | |
| Rommel gets on the mic ranting about how we are all a bunch of | |
| losers and that those two tanks that are hiding need to push | |
| forward, mind you we're perched on the hill (east Spawn) sniping | |
| the village, and if we had rushed in like the rest we would have | |
| won. Then starts in telling us that we deserve what we get. | |
| My spidey sense kicks in, the other TD blows up and sure enough | |
| here they come to the left. I maneuver to get a better shot and | |
| Rommel yells out that I need to just rush in and get the game | |
| over with. | |
| I finally had had enough and I got on the mic. I told him that | |
| he needed to learn his tanks. I'm a tank destroyer, I don't rush | |
| in and if you want this game over with then go back to the | |
| garage. He never said another word. I don't know if I startled | |
| him by replying or that I was a female or that I proceeded to | |
| take out 2 reds before dying or maybe he did go back to the | |
| garage but he never said another word. | |
| When I looked at the scoreboard where was Rommel? You guessed it | |
| at the bottom and that TD that was hiding? :snipe: Second. | |
