A Handy Guide to Pubs

So funny story about this whole thing.

I thought to myself "what if I join their server aliased as a pub clan" I changed my name to "{CPD} dogbone_" and then entered their server. When I first joined, the first thing I said was "Good evening" everyone replied nicely back as I expected. I was killing people, capping flags, apologizing for team kills, no quickswitching and I ran up a score of 38-10. During this time, not a single, not one, {KHH} member went into spectator. In fact, while I was playing, Heidi was asking me questions about {CPD} and if the pub clan was still alive, so I just went along with it and explain that a lot of our members moved on from day of defeat. When I felt the time to leave, I said "Everyone have a good night, ill pub here again for sure" and everyone was nice and said "Hope to see you again" Few seconds went by and I joined the server again but with the name "get on my level" I didn't say a word when I joined like most of us do when we joined a pub. I ran up a score of 10-0 and there were comments from some of the {KHH} members like "You can't do that", "how did you know" and ect. At the point of getting my 10th kill, three of the five current {KHH} players joined spectator and at that point I left before getting banned.

Thing about it is that, I was playing the exact same under both names but just wasn't as talkative when I re-joined the server. My understanding of what goes through their heads when they're in their server is just baffling.

oh well.

Hmm, lot of drawbacks with a repeated measures design, especially with this being strictly anecdotal. We're going to need a more solid research structure with less room for design flaws if we're going to get definitive answers here.

Yeah, for a study of this magnitude we're going to need to conduct randomized clinical trials with participants of equal skill in the server, all in the server within ~10 minutes of one another, and we must do this multiple times over the course of a couple weeks. Let's start with a variety of different variables (pub clan tag, talkative, etc.) differing between the conditions, and then we can narrow it down from there.

Condition 1: Player of low skill without a tag, non-talkative.
Condition 2: Player of a low skill with a tag, talkative.
Condition 3: Player of a high skill without a tag, non-talkative.
Condition 4: Player of a high skill with a tag, talkative.

Get to it.

Must be summer time. Alex Kirk is back, and he just can't get enough of them there fancy sociological experimentz.

Fuck you and your retarded ass logic. You and every simpleton who runs a dod server is the US is piece of trash.

[Badger]

Sharky, No one gives a fuck about your random ass pubbing post, its completely retarded.

He neg me before. I was just too nice to let it slide

[defiance]

He has negative rep. When you have negative rep and you +rep someone, it actually negs them. He probably hasn't figure that out yet...

You know you have neg rep... Why would you even try to rep other people?

You were able to witness the trolling. You should appreciate my work.

It was personal trolling. Only the mods could see what I was doing. And it was epic...boy, was it epic...

Damnit.... that really stinks alot. Does anyone want to +rep me so everytime I try and +rep someone else it does not neg rep them?

That sucks, I neg repped him earlier because I thought he was negging me for no reason, and I am a spiteful, spiteful man.

So funny story about this whole thing.

I thought to myself "what if I join their server aliased as a pub clan" I changed my name to "{CPD} dogbone_" and then entered their server. When I first joined, the first thing I said was "Good evening" everyone replied nicely back as I expected. I was killing people, capping flags, apologizing for team kills, no quickswitching and I ran up a score of 38-10. During this time, not a single, not one, {KHH} member went into spectator. In fact, while I was playing, Heidi was asking me questions about {CPD} and if the pub clan was still alive, so I just went along with it and explain that a lot of our members moved on from day of defeat. When I felt the time to leave, I said "Everyone have a good night, ill pub here again for sure" and everyone was nice and said "Hope to see you again" Few seconds went by and I joined the server again but with the name "get on my level" I didn't say a word when I joined like most of us do when we joined a pub. I ran up a score of 10-0 and there were comments from some of the {KHH} members like "You can't do that", "how did you know" and ect. At the point of getting my 10th kill, three of the five current {KHH} players joined spectator and at that point I left before getting banned.

Thing about it is that, I was playing the exact same under both names but just wasn't as talkative when I re-joined the server. My understanding of what goes through their heads when they're in their server is just baffling.

oh well.

I hope one of them sees this post here.

Pretty much sums up why this thread should die. They have a different mentality twoards the game. Just let them be.

PS why on earth are you guys pubbing this game anyways? It's not fun...

[joeledmunds]

Pubbing is tons of fun. Trying to find a good pub is not fun.

[stealthlol]

Finding a good pub is easy. Not getting banned from said pub is hard.
