Chaotic Online Game and Bad Sportsmanship
Now I haven’t been playing the Chaotic Online Game much at all, I’m still getting to grip with the basics of the game, never mind the nuances. But one thing that has annoyed me is the bad sportsmanship that goes on in Chaotic online gaming. It shouldn’t surprise when playing a kids game – many aren’t very mature in terms of age or how they act. But it still grates my nerves when an opponent is using the chat function to taunt you in a childish manner.
Hotekk Drome
I was playing a game in the Hotekk drome yesterday and lost 2 creatures in quick succession, so my opponent took that as a sign to start telling me how rubbish a player I am, how pathetic my game is and how I may as well quit to save myself embarrassment. To be frank I’m not going to be embarrassed by my poor showing in a game, I am still learning the basics of it. As it happens I then won the next two battles and he just beat me on my last creature – not that losing those two stopped him from gloating a lot at me. Maybe it’s the fact that Hotekk doesn’t do Mugic, or because at 3vs3 it is the place that more ‘newbies’ (and therefore childish) can play. But I have to say that my experiences there have been like that a few times.
Growth of the Chaotic Online Game
If Chaotic is to grow as a game then it needs newbies joining constantly. It needs fresh blood and growth. Taunting new players, making them feel small and pathetic, is not the way to do this. Unfortunately the ‘anonymity’ of being an online game coupled with the target age group of Chaotic Online means that many think it’s ok to give abuse to players just because they are winning. So let us try act like grown ups. That is easy for me to say as I am a grown up (in age, if not mentality), but for those who are able to find this place by search and understand words such as ‘anonymity’ then you are easily capable of being courteous and a ‘good sport’. Let us encourage new players, show them how fun it can be and bring them into the game. You want the game to grow then you need new players. The more players the better the game and the more ‘mainstream’ it becomes. Good sportsmanship matters, let’s try it out. Especially those in the Hotekk drome please!
