I'd have to say that whenever I play Combat Arms I feel the epitome of a candidate for posting in this thread. Anybody else who's ever played it probably knows what I mean when I say that the reasons given for kicking somebody are either unoriginal or inane.
The game's community thrives on what I like to call 'QQ Tourettes' - a disorder causing you to cry hacker at anybody and everybody who dares kill you.
Now, there are two systems of kicking available, the voting system that's been around forever and the 'Elite' system, where one player takes absolute control over whether or not you stay in the game. You don't even get warning for this, you're just suddenly not in game anymore and have to wait for the game to end to ask the guy why they kicked you.
Let me now list the reasons I remember:
- For camping. Not too strange, it happens to all of us. But lets remember I was camping behind the spawn with only a sniper rifle. If you can't kill me when you have three seconds of invincibility and I have nothing but a distance weapon, not to mention no cover whatsoever, I'm not the one with the problem. You're retarded, your team is retarded, noone should give you absolute power over anything more than directing snail-based traffic.
- For having the word 'Panda' in my username. Yep, that really happened. Apparently the word 'Panda' is more offensive than the countless references to the grandeur of people's junk. Also, I was called 'Pandora' once by what I assume was an avid Skins fan who had forgotten about the whole "The animal was here first, not to mention the first woman and her jar thing on the other end of the spectrum you dolt" thing.
- For taking cover. Oh no, I put something between me and your bullets? Holy crap, we can't allow that!
- For being kicked. Yup. Someone initiates a vote-kick with your name on it, people just instinctively press F5. Boom, banned from that game because I was.
That's just a few, but if it's inanity you're after, play the game yourself and then shortly thereafter an hero because... well... you'll probably get kicked because your desk is cedar instead of pine or something else like that.
