I don't think the problem is trash talking, i think the problem is that the taboos aren't clearly defined.
F'r instance... if you called my mom a liar, a beggar and a theif... i would be inclined to agree with you. but if you said she wasn't a good mom... i'd have to punch you in the mouth. Because everything she did was so the three of us could survive. You can't know what everyone's trigger words are... but i have noticed that bringing up past defeats, excessive winning streaks, or any historical scandals... questioning someones honor, courage and commitment to the game are all triggers. If you can write something entertaining without touching off on those you should be okay. i post crap all the time and no one says anything to me but lol. i have friends from both sides on my profile and it's because of my posts on this site that they like me, because i really don't post much anywhere else. but that's just my 5th grade education talking... which is funny becuase my son just 'graduated' 5th grade yesterday. we had a blast celebrating... but also makes me the quintessential 'Jeff Foxworthy" Redneck. and i'm okay with that. |

I love my reference to Little House on the Prarie! I am still laughing about that. The Joes are talking about opening the free for all thread. Seriously... I think trash talk is a key. I mean we can't just continue to post this in the game thread.
Cobra Soldier Hurt _____ -1 Have a good day Joes, I hope this game stays really close. Have a nice day out there and tell your folks I said Hello. HELL NO!! That's not even remotely correct! |

OK guys. I have a serious question. I know the Joes will be reading this and I TRULY HOPE THEY DO! We need to sort something out here. I hope the GM's come read it too. THIS IS NOT TO BECOME A FLAME WAR (But I refuse to be held accountable if it does.)
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? 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...

I can agree with Viper. Like I said... I have started some flames in here about the Joes just to get something stirred up. Yeah the 5th grader jokes and stuff are a smidge harsh. The continuous banter about terrible recruiting and everything in between.. yeah it gets out of hand. Cobra has our problems of recruiting and it's tough to get the 40 people plus managing to find people who can post everyday (Work and Family are more important than posting in this game). If we had a free for all... I am sure we could get wreckless and rowdy. It's gonna get outta hand, it always has. The only thing to make the trash talk completely go away is to end the game period... but then you would open a new can of worms there also. I can't say we will all be civil trash talkers. Someone will say 1 thing and it will be VQ to the rescue. I know either me or BDB will say something way out in left field and the flame is on.

I like to pick and play alot on this game. its what gets the creative juices flowing. i have alot of that to spare, its why i liked gi joe to begin with.
with that being said, some of the crew does go from picking and playing to out right trash talking... and that's okay to an extent. But if that select few could reign it in a little, we could have fun all the time instead of in sporadic doses. and that would be cool. |
