More bushido nonsense

I just remembered... people hate it when they get double teamed in Gunbound. Personally, I don't care whether I get double teamed, aka gang raped, or if I DT someone. To DT someone, is to gang up on them. In a game such as Gunbound, this means the victim will die twice as fast as usual. Hence the complaints by the victim. These complaints argue the fact that it's 1. annoying 2. cheap 3. noobish 4. kill stealing 5. breaks the bushido code and ultimately 6. ruins the fun of the game. However, their whiney complaints is what ruins the game.

DT is a legitimate strategy. It lies along the lines of superiority in numbers and firepower. It also involves teamwork as the players can work together in either just bashing the hell out of the victim's mobile, or one of them screwing with the victim's land whilst the other pounds away. Deciding who gets the kill also generates a fair amount of trust between the DTers. However, if one player did all the damage and then another player comes along and takes the finishing blow- that breaks the code of conduct.

The same thing applies to Warcraft and FPS, I'll have to use Counterstrike as an example (much to my disliking). Overwhelming an opponent in W3 with a larger army, either with the help of an ally, having a larger food army, or a higher tech army, is unfair. But that's how things go. Mind you, I was often on the receiving end of the big attacks. Orcs are just too hard to amass large numbers of. I tend to tech all the way to T3 so I can get heal wards and all the other goodies =P Man, it's been ages since I last played W3, mmmm blademaster that can walk through units...
Now CS, a skilled player would be able to take on several players at once, but it is those players who move as a team, covering each other, who end up alive at the end of the game (most of the time). There are no complaints about players working together, which can be seen as ganging up, as such a game involves teamwork. Likewise you always see that in any conflict, one side always tries to use a superior force to crush their foe.

I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but I'm just saying that some tactics are just cheap and n00bish(dishonourable), whilst others which give you similar results (the positive results) do not break the "honour" code of conduct. There ain't nothing wrong with camping a strategic location. It's known as holding a strategic location. Camping a respawn zone (here I go again) may be strategic, but that's a little TOO far. And it's dishonourable to continuously whinge about someone using a legit tactic during the game. I'm ranting about several examples AFTER the game, so I don't believe I am being hypocritical. (and hence I will cease this honour talk for the time being)

Gaming is to be enjoyed, and to relieve stress. Don't go and ruin it for others by spoiling the fun.
