Haha, agreed, and I would know a n00b when I see one, it all goes back to the fact, its all about reputation these days.

EDIT: And sorry bout the misspelling
I hate it when stuff turns into giant pouplairty contests. I say to heck with rep, lol.

Yeah same here, but mainly because I've always been classified as a loner so I just screw it, it doesnt matter over the internet, they can classify themselves as Mary-stu/Gary-stu people, ones who think their perfect and that they must follow the leader who's also perfect. I find everything wrong with that kind of thinking.

I always make the rule in my games: What I say goes, this is MY game and you wil abide by the rules of WQ and my rules or you can take a hike. Sounds rude but I got sick of people screaming at others to leave my games when I said they could stay :?
That's what I assume when I join a multiplayer game. I'm in that person's "house", as it were. Their house, their rules. I would strongly favor the addition of the ability of the host to kick an offensive player from the game to maintain peace.
Why do people have to fight? Why can't we just have fun? WQ should be a game in which a person can relax and learn about wolves, not fight!

Ok, we're gonna add a part to this discussion.

While we can still talk about the MP mob thing, let's talk about the forums.

I've seen hints of Mob Mentality in the community forums, mainly in General Wolf Discussion, where everyone has a different view on things.

There would be one person with one opinion, and say, 4 people with a different one. I've seen a little bit of Mob Mentality, not to the point of screaming, no, not even close, but I have seen reactions that made me think if the person thought they were getting gained up on.

this kind of thing is everywhere on everx forum... (though its worse on FH, or other forums where even the mods close/delete topics that arent for their liking..) i would say WQ is a good example for forum behavior. Its really tiny amount of ppl who are "trolls" compared to other forums.
Lets just be happy about this, shall we?
