OK.. we are locked out of each other's threads. We can't go a week without having a flame war somewhere about this game in the Tank. I am an instigator of flames (I know this for true.)
BUT HONESTLY??? WHAT DID YOU EXPECT FROM THIS GAME?! IT'S A GAME!! PEOPLE COMPETE! MEN COMPETE!! (Woman too!!) When you invented this game... did you expect the Little House on the Prarie?! Let's give some examples:
Lawrence Taylor talking trash to the other team to intimidate and cause disruption to help win a NFL Game.
Do you actually think Michael Jordan was a saint on the Basketball Court? He talked his fair share of trash and backed it up!
I can do this for days but I don't have time. The bottom line.. after the clock runs out and a winner is pronounced.. there is a shaking of hands and Good Game gestures (UNLESS.. your Lebron James). Then we all go back to life as usual .. Trashing Hasbro and "Hey.. I found the new whatever!!" Then another game starts up and the trash talking commences.
Outside this game.. everyone gets along in other threads and it's all peaches and cream.
Feedback is needed from both sides. If the Joes talk about it in their thread.. excellent. I think trash talking is a must in the game to get people fired up and posting, on the other hand... it can be bad for recruiting.
So what is your opinion? [Quote End]
Trash talking to a point is fine. It is when it becomes offensive to someone else that it becomes a problem. Plus it seems that once someone starts talking, everyone joins in and intensifies it to a point that it is almost annoyong. For the most part, you guys talk smack to eachother and you guys stay within the boundries. When it starts to affect others in a way that the recruitment threads are being filled with posts by people that are starting to call eachother names and insults, that it has gone to far. I have contacted Vader about all of this. Perhaps later when he is on, he will address the situation and you guys can appeal to him...
