Poll: taunts

[Generalissimo]

do you like to taunt people via voice/text in games?

if so, what do you usually say?

 

[Darren716]

Nope I never taunt because it's only a game and if I taunt I know karma going to bite me in the ass and the person I taunted is going to wipe the floor with me in the next match.

 

[Able Seacat]

Hah, the poll says 120% no for me.

I don't but I wouldn't mind any taunting aimed at me if it was light hearted, but unfortunately I normally find it's not.

"Your tears fuel my slugs"

And i treat hackusations as the ultimate form of praise and flattery.

 

[wintercoat]

Only on local multiplayer when I play with friends and family, or when playing non-local with people I know well.

 

[Scrustle]

No. Taunting is stupid. It just makes people angry and makes the game worse for everyone.

 

[J. Mazarin]

I usually use the game's built-in taunt system (if it has one).

Otherwise, I only taunt if provoked. (*kills random, 1 millisecond later* random:"omfg u fking hacker get a lief")

I'm not interested in any gaming conversations ever, largely because of the subject matter of this thread. Basically? Have fun talking to air.

At first I was like I love taunting in games!

Then you meant real people, which I occasionally do but is in good spirit. I never do it to make the person angry, and if it annoys them I stop. When I taunt it's more of me challenging them to do better than laughing at their skills.

 

[Andy Shandy]

If I'm playing locally, versus friends or family, then naturally, but if it's online then not at all.

 

[DustyDrB]

People who taunt tend to be bad players, I find. They probably just do it because they're surprised they actually did something well. Good players just continue about their business.

 

[him over there]

I teabag other players, that should answer all your questions.

The only time I ever taunt is with friends if im feeling cheeky or i am playing with Tira on Soul Calibur V because taunting actually changes her stance to the better version. I never taunt via voice or text though unless I know them really well or they taunt me first and piss me off.

 

[Conn1496]

I love one liners. ^-^ I do them all the time, especially while playing Brawl... and usually in character, too!

My friend plays as Ness a bit, so if I play as Ganondorf, I'm all like, *boot Ness in the face* "SILLY CHILD, MUHAHAHAHAHAH!", then I'm like, *Warlock punches Ness* "DARKNESS TAKE YOU!" and if he plays as Luigi, as he usually does, and I play as Falco, I'll be like, *Somersault kicks Luigi in face* "Oh man! You think you can beat me? You gotta be kidding!", then like *reflects fireball* "I don't need your fireballs, have 'em back!". Sometimes, if I play as Link, I'll be all like "HYYYYYAHHHHHHHH! TURIYAAHHHH!"... Y'know because Link never speaks, and just grunts and stuff like a female tennis player. I just love to voice act. =3

...Anyway, enough of me quoting my own cheesy lines...

 

[Goofguy]

Usually only to my friends because we have a friendly rivalry going; it's all in good fun. There's no point for me to taunt strangers, even in jest. Some might take it personally, others might take it too far.

 

[DementedSheep]

Only when playing with people who are friends.

 

[Akytalusia]

absolutely not. not with in game commands or with voice. i only feel pity for my opponents. taunting them is out of the question.

 

[xshadowscreamx]

i taunt them if they taunt me

 

[Awexsome]

Never via voice chat. Only the scum that give online gaming its bad reputation do that.

I'll only taunt in game via the taunts specifically implemented like in TF2 or made up such as teabagging if the other poor sporting team does it first.

 

[Elate]

Only light heatedly and only really with friends. And then it's more just poking fun.
