Hey, thanks hal!
/me gives hal a big manly hug.
I actually stopped wearing the |PuF tag when I got my ]LoL[ tag. I'm just not big enough to handle two tags. I feel like a little kid wearing a pro football player's shoulder pads when I play as ]LoL[Boom|PuF. But I still have to behave anyway on the pubs. People sometimes say to me "Hey, ]LoL[Boom, are you the Boom from PuF?" So tag or no tag, I feel like I gotta represent.
But hal makes a good point, what sometimes is worse than the llama behavior is the whining at the llama behavior. I was on an all face server last night (every server with good pings winds up being an all face server
) and there was all the classic face llamaness going on all around me. I could have complained about the spawnsniping and pistol pooping and the fact that backup was nonexistant, and I would have been right. But it would have sounded whiney. If I want backup, I can always drag a PuFfer into a game with me. So I didn't say a word except "gg". Of course, I did take the occasional break from going on flag runs to see how many campers I could telefrag
. But I didn't mouth off about it.
After one of the games, one of the spawnsnipers typed, "Oh Yeah, I got a Rampage! Owned!" And I actually typed in, "Spawnsniping rampages don't count." But before I hit enter, I just took a deep breath, deleted it, and just typed "gg". Why should I give the impression that I am a high and mighty PuFfer with llama police powers. If someone on my team is spawnsniping other PuFers, I may ask him to stop and go on a run with me instead, but I try not to talk down to people.
Lately I have been having tons of fun on Swine. I was on there yesterday and had three EE guys on my team. Someone from the other team said something like "Oh no! Three EE guys on one team!" Just then ]LoL[Jammer joined the server and was thrown on my team. I couldn't help typing, "Now you are really in trouble! Forget about the EEs, you are going up against two ]LoL[s on the same team!" I never saw so many "ROTFL" at once.
And in another game, one of those l337 guys (not one of the EE guys) said something like "Why won't my team back me up at all", which is really an insult, since I am trying my best; and I responded by saying, "Sorry, I'm too busy sucking to help you out.
." He was much nicer after that.
Damn, this game is fun
