Here's your chance to own a guide about idiots in Soldat! How to spot them? How to handle them?
Don't go online without knowing what you're up against!


For years doctor Jay, author of the critically acclaimed "Soldat for dummies", has studied the various groups of dumbasses found in online gaming, particularly Soldat.
[IMAGE]

Here's just a preview of his book:



The "lol-omg-rofl" dumbass

This guy will type the acronym "lol" (laughing out loud) an avarage of 80 times during an online session of Soldat.
It doesn't matter if he gets killed or kills someone, if he scores in a CTF game or the other team scores, he seems to be having the time of his life. Would he actually be rolling on the floor when he types "rofl"? What could possibly be that funny? I find it remarkable for a species with such a small vocabulary and so few braincells to still be able to control a mouse and keyboard.

How to handle:
Just keep quiet. Asking why he types "omg" or "lol" over and over again often results in another "lol".

The "funny" name dumbass

Your mother. Your parents. Your penis. Your dog. These are just a few examples of the names these fools have. Their goal ofcourse, is to have you read "You killed your mother" after they have killed you. Haha, very witty indeed. Too bad it got old after the first dumbass who did it in the first online shooter.

Other "funny" names include: Aids, Nigger, Adolf Hitler, ...

These retards are just looking for some attention. They are waiting for someone to make a remark about their nick. Just don't say anything. In fact, not saying anything in a server is the best approach. Only speak when it's necessary.


The conceited elitist

These are the morons who think they are the best players in the world. These are funny when they actually suck, but when they are moderately skilled they can annoy even the most experienced dumbass spotter like myself. They often make remarks like "PWNED" and "N00B" when they kill you. They feel superior after changing their skin color with the SSCC program. They are the ones who yell "FIRST AGAIN!!" after the round has ended. Wow great, you capped 4 times.

There's also the ones that seem to forget the fact that CTF or INF is a team game, and who solely join a server to rack up the most kills. They ignore people who run away with the flag, just to finish off an easy target or a person who is afk.

How to handle:
As hard as it may seem, the best way here is to, again, be quiet. Argueing with these people is useless.

The 1337 SWAT dumbass

Going by names like --==[S.W.A.T]==-- SOLID SNAKE or <<SEAL>> SnIpEr, these asshats will shout random orders like "GET THE FALG I MAKE DEFENCE!!1", "I NEEED 1 GUY TO COVER ME, IM GOING DOWNN WAY!".
The SWAT Dumbass, often seen with a barret, thinks he's in charge of the team in CTF or INF matches. When his team wins, it's because of his tactics. When his team loses, it's because they didn't listen to him. "I TOLD YUO TO GUARD OUR FLAGG YOU NOOB!!!!!11@"


The complaining whiner

Claiming that he has lag when his ping is 16 doesn't make the whiner very believable, yet he keeps trying to conceal his lack of skill with all sorts of excuses, such as calling you a sprayer while he used an automatic the entire previous game. Or saying his team sucks (and then joining the other team so it's 4 vs 6), or even saying he has a fever and can't aim well (cough*Kibitz*cough).

One time, I was playing on my clan's server, when a stereotypical whiner entered. The server is called 2wai's classic, and I had the clan tag |2wai| in my name. So this little fellow started complaining after I killed him 5 times in a row: "Hey 2wai guy, it's not fair!" "It's your own server, you have 0 ping, and we lag!" So I tried explaining to him that the server was dedicated, run by a clanmate, not even in my country. I had a ping of around 100, like everybody else in the server. But alas, he kept complaining about how unfair it was. Nothing for me to do than to ban him ofcourse. Sometimes I wonder how these dumbasses manage to breathe.


The dumbass with a "cool" name

Basically everyone with "dark", "shadow", "angel", "death", "ninja", "hawk", "dragon" or "master" in their nicks. I've never seen a server without one of these in them. I even saw a "Dark Shadow" once. As opposed to a light shadow?
I used to think these were cool names, but then I turned 13...


The crazy foreigner

I'm not a native english speaker either, but I don't ramble on in my own language. These idiots type whole stories, without there being anyone that can understand them. They don't get any response from other players, yet they keep going.

Tip: You can learn some interesting profanities in their language if you ask them who they're talking to.

Let's just say I enjoy writing like you enjoy making those little movies.

To answer your question, it took me about 20 minutes to type it out. I had the actual content in my head for a few hours.

I've been playing on the 2wai server for a couple of weeks now. When you enter the server, it says "Wankers will be banned" as a server message. The thing is, over half the people that enter are wankers, fitting in one of the above categories.

I used to warn people that were being lame. Stop this, stop that.. Then when they didn't listen I would kick them. Then if they came back (usually asking "OMG WHY KICK?!!!") and behave the same, I'd ban them.

Now I just ban every idiot. Egoistic? No. I just happen to be admin there. I don't think I'm unjust, people are even being warned when they enter.

It's not like we're running out of idiots either, everytime I kick/ban one, another player enters almost that very second. Think of it as natural selection, after I play half an hour there, I usually get a good game going with fairly decent players (I'm not saying I ban people that just suck, hell I don't even ban Soldier(1), everybody has to learn), I just weed out the scum that doesn't deserve to play.

Conclusion: Don't talk in game, or Tha Doggfather will get you.

Oh, and for the SWAT dumbass, you forgot to say how they almost ALWAYS walk crouched, pointing their gun in every direction trying to imitate someone in a SWAT team. And thereby getting killed, because Soldat is usually too fast for that sort of thing.

I love that. ^^

I suppose I'm one of those guys that says lol 80 times in a game. But soldat gets me so happy, and its the fastest way to say "thats funny". Everyone thats playing must be having fun, even you doggfather. Let the fun out. Either way, your point is proven and i commend you for going for such great lengths to prove it. The only thing is that you wasted 20 minutes on something that will change nothing. Within a week it will be lost in the numerous pages of the forums until some guy brings it back and gets flamed for it and it gets locked. There will always be n00bs and i guess we just cant change it. Thanks for the laugh, lol.

So true so true, I think there is another category you forgot to mention.
I would call it "The frustrated types"
After not answering them for so long they get so frustrated and annoyed, they can't kill you so they can't piss you off, they can't annoy you with words since you ignore them.
So as soon as they can, they change to your team , take a spas or some other pushing weapon and start following you and shoot you.

I tried ignoring that, but it rather disturbing when you're being pushed all the time, even though I managed to escape him most of the time, but other then that I can't think of anything to do vs that.
I mostly just go out of the server and go to another one, I tried waiting it out, but there was 1 guy who did it for 10 minute straight. now that's just creepy..

Hah, theres a type missing

The success-junkie
If youre looking for an egoistic player combined with a whiner, you will find the success-junkie as prefectly fitting this definition. A Success-junkies usually plays for his own score only, and ignores the fact, that CTF is actually a team mode. All he wants is the flag, nothing else. And even if they get killed in their base, and a teammate saves the flag, he won't refrain from shouting "MY FLAG PLS" or spamming this teammate via teamchat with "GIMME MY FLAG!!!".
So far he would be just a poor, retarded newbie, but additionally, when their team is about to lose, he blames it all on his teammates. If the losing goes on, he will use any chance to switch teams, pretending to balance the teamsizes. Sometimes he does not even care and turns a 5-5 into a 4-6, just to be on the winner's side. Like many other retards, they often end a map with "I WIN", "OWNED" or something similar if they reach the first rank with their egoistic play style.

If you want to get rid of a success-junkie, ban him, if youre serveradmin. If not, publicly mention what you think about his actions. If that does not help, cope with it and get rid of him by owning him until he leaves.

What you do is you camp at the front of the opposing teams base and let him push you. Then when someone trys to shoot you with a law or m79 and roll or jump out of the way so they die, and then try ot aviod them. If they find you repeat.
You also didnt mention the sucky 1337ist. They think they are the best in the whole world, and then they complane because you camp and they cant hit you.
And the true camper. They sit in one spot, and dont move at all, throw a grenade at them they dont move, they have 1% health, they dont move. Thats how you camp.

Anyway, the success junkie category had a guy in it who said "The clan I am in is only for the best Soldat Player" "That is me, no-one else". I had said, "What sort of a clan is that?". And he retaliates "BETTER THAN ONE WITH 10 NOT BEST PLAYERS!". Stupidity at it's peak. May's well not have a clan.
Is there a category for those who are good but say they suck? That is what my brother falls under, he ALWAYS says "No, it was luck" when someone says "Nice shot" to him. Modesty comes to mind, and it is probably what it is, but... well, he isn't modest in the real world...

Better to be banned from them than kicked so I don't need to come back. I know its their server and they can do what ever they want but its still anyoing. The only thing told was that he started to vote kick everyone that was on server one after one, just once then, next rond he did the same to a new player and I said "there you go again vote kicking people, minute later "you have been kicked by the console" =/
