Great post!

And I agree with you, and the Bears will tell you, I also curse alot in my regular speech. More so when it comes down to my native language.

But I think we are not really talking about the same thing here. I think I'm more on about the concept of bad mouthing opponents, namecalling and the like, than the actual words.

Thats what I meant about the cursing gets you mad thing. I've found people are more likely to loose focus once they start railing, sure you can scream "GARDEN!!!" at the top of your lungs and it will be just as bad as screaming "FUUUUCCCK!!!" the word is secondary the feeling and focus is what matters. Unless you drop what gets you right away I've found it is really hard to regain that focus.

In competitions (been pole vaulting for some 15 years now) I too call mates and opponents a number of names. But all in good fun because they know I'm ironic. And just like you say thats is how we talk, it is ironic not meant to be in anger.

Here is the catch tough, when you are ironic it is confirmed by the volume and tone of your voice and your general posture. Irony doesn't work in text, or atleast work crappy in text. (big up to this fellow: )

Irony is also one of the hardest parts of humor there is, and should be reserved for people who you feel that you know well enough.
I guess what my crazy brain is trying to write is that I believe that if you can't write it people are less likely to care about bad-mouthing their opponents and play the game instead.

Yes I do realise how naive that sounds, I'm more on about the general lack of friendliness among gamers than a wordfilter. (My brain is probably wired weird. I read a thread it gets me thinking and *Bam* Im off-topic )

Friendly banter =/= talking shit

friendly banter =/= sportsmanship

esports =/= sportsmanship

You're argument is so illogical it hurts. If you want sportsmanship get off the internet. This is the last place you're going to get it. If you do want be sportsmanlike that's fine but just remember where you are. Its like comparing the sportsmanlike conduct of rubgy (breaking each others faces) to F1 (sharing cocaine straws and sluts.) I'm not saying you can't be civil in rugby, but its more about violence than politics -- that is a fact. The same goes here on the internet. We all have huge e-weiners and I'm going to make damn sure you smell my huge stinky one.

Now Ive read my post 4 times already. Where am I illogical? Am I missing a comma or added one too many?

Im saying E-sports will never be accepted until such times that the Gamer community grows up. I know what to expect of the interwebs, I live and work here. When you see something you don't like do you shrug and say "Hey thats life" and grin and bear it or should you try to change it?

40$ isn't that much when it comes to games these days. Seriously have you seen the prices?
(Damn I sound like my father complaining about the price of beer.)

Personally Im not intrested at all so probably won't preorder, but it's beacuse I know I wont play it.

I belong to the multiplayer portion of the games followers. Have friends who never play multi but play a ton of skirmishes and ToW things, those guys have already pre-orderd.

Well the JT and ISU have gone from being high-cost - little risk - little micro = High-reward. To High-cost - little risk - high micro = Reward dependent on player actions.

Anything that can be used without tought shouldn't be able to turn a game around.

I bet my balls that Sturmtiger would be spammed to death if it had the reload time of 10 seconds.

Only problem I can think of is if it is like you say that the ISU doesn't track targets. Hopefully that is a bug and not WAD. But I've said it before. Sovs have enough AT as is even without the ISU-152. That was not the case pre-april patch but now they do.
