Assholes of a Solar Empire

After writing the following post, I received a plethora of emails and private messages from players with their own multiplayer experiences, their own stories to tell:

https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/370164

I have thus decided to name names for the benefit of the few decent people in this game who want an attempt at a decent multiplayer experience.  The purpose of this post is to provide a list of known assholes so that decent people have the option to avoid playing with these people.  Yes, I speak for YOU, and I am doing this for YOUR benefit.  Thus I will need YOUR assistance.

You will provide me, through private message and email, the names of multiplayer assholes who are unsportsmanlike, who are verbal abusers, who boot patiently waiting players (so-called "newbs") so that so-called "pros" can play instead, and who commit any other infraction that most decent people would consider to be beneath the pale.  Furthermore, you will provide for me evidence, in the form of screenshots of chatrooms and pre-game channels, and replays of games.  I in return will post their names here, along with a description of their offense.

Infractions include, but are not limited to:

1) Name calling, verbal abuse, berating another player, belittling another player, cursing another player.

2) Booting another waiting player just so that some well-known "pro" or clansman can cut in line.

Infractions DO NOT INCLUDE the following, because while irritating to some players, they do not constitute a personal attack on another player, and they do not constitute player abuse :

1) AFK.

2) Refusal to quit a game.

3) Exploit abuse or cheating.

Infractions also DO NOT INCLUDE:

1) Someone given the boot UPON GAME ENTRY because the host is waiting for a particular person (note that to qualify for this non-infraction, the boot has to be given within a reasonably short time frame, i.e. a few seconds, not after minutes).

2) Someone given the boot because they are a multiplayer asshole, i.e. their name is on this list.

3) Someone given the boot because the booter has witnessed bad behavior in the bootee in the past and does not want to play with that person (again, the boot must be applied in a relatively short period of time).

You may post players and their behavior here, but it will only be considered "heresay" and not make it onto this official list until evidence has been forthcoming.

I will keep this list updated regularly provided I keep getting emails, private messages, screenshots, game replays, etc.  I am off to review some submissions already, but for now ...

FYI a blacklist was already attempted that was blocked by the moderators.  You are welcome to give it a try though.  Several other small ones have popped up every now and then that have not been blocked.  Most will just smurf around your list anyways but best of luck.  It might be advisable to grow a thicker skin or use the /ignore command if you don't want to listen to someone.

This is not a blacklist.  This is an assistance list for people who want to play clean games with decent people and not be verbally abused.  It is a win-win, because the assholes by definition don't like the people they abuse, and the decent people don't want to be abused by the assholes.  So it is just as much a help to the assholes as it is to the decent people.  THIS IS NOT A BLACKLIST.

Thanks for your tip about /ignore.  I didn't know about that command.

Yeah, this won't last long.  For what it's worth, the people you have up there don't belong on this list, except for AlwaysRandom.  I never saw him, so I can't judge him.

BlackHawk Please, hes such a fucking asshole.

Some say that he is a CIA experiment that went wrong, and that he only eats cheese. All we  know is that he's not The Hawk - he's The Hwak's fat American cousin.

Competitive gaming will always yield smack talk, its really just part of the game. Try playing Halo without running across a 12 year old with a better vocabulary of trash talk, stringing together curses you never even knew could go together. Seriously you just have to ignore those people. /ignore works. And honestly, I can think of about 10 people who talk way more trash then the guys on your list.

Since you have not seen any of the evidence or witnessed any of the activities reported, I'd love to see the rational basis for this statement, if any.

Pawelo, there is a rule:  Someone on the list cannot petition to add someone to the list.  You are on the list, therefore you cannot petition to add someone to the list.  Now please run along and not disturb the good people of this thread.

Yes, me too, but until a report and evidence is forthcoming, I cannot add them.

2) Booting another waiting player just so that some well-known "pro" or clansman can cut in line.

It's the hosts game; if a friend pops in and they'd rather play with that person, that's their choice. Maybe not kind to the pugs, but their choice all the same, and hardly reason to blacklist (regardless what you call it, it has the same result).
