Let me guess, the guy was getting pissy because you were saying Tomatoe and he wanted you to say tomaito?


Buy yeah, kids online can be cruel.

I'm intolertant of anyone without Pakistani accent. Just kidding. don't report me please.

Don't worry, I'll just respond with a quip about your unusually affectionate feelings toward goats.

At least I didn't fall back on the stereotype and mention camels.

LOL! You DO know I've partnered with a Middle Eastern Agricultural Consortium to develop and breed a new sub species of miniature camels for the US domestic pet industry; right? The camels are quite small, and VERY sensitive about their size, so I'd appreciate none of you making either "size" or "camel" jokes.

I don't play online at all, but I find the idea that anyone would hassle someone else over their accent to be the height of immaturity, and at least some xenophobia. I could see where someone's accent might be serious enough to make it difficult for others to understand them, but I've had that said of my accent (native English speaker) by guys from Northern Ireland!

In my case, I have bipolar disorder... and I'd rather not aggressively snap at somebody like a brute for sucking. I'm a perfectionist and am excessively good at most games, so I have a tendency to get short with people when they aren't the same way.

The joke is that I'm actually one of the nicest people on the face of the planet and will revive/help just about anybody, no matter how terrible or dumb they are... I'm not rude, just have a potential for outbursts when people screw up stupidly, hah. And being that most people take it personally when you snarkily attack their ability or intelligence, I'd just rather keep all that to myself, lol.

The finest example: we're in stealth mode, knee deep in enemies, and somebody screws it up... and we all get massacred, because of that one mistake. Rather than flip total **** on that person and create a negative atmosphere when we should be having fun, I'd rather them realize their own mistake and go at it again. Sometimes the best thing you could say is what you don't say, am I right?



I also like playing with people from other countries, despite language barriers. You might speak Spanish, French, German, or just English with a horrendous accent... I'm not going to bash you for that, but I can't guarantee I will understand anything you say, lol. I used to play with this Irish guy a lot back in the day, and despite him being a VERY good friend, I couldn't help but feel like an idiot asking him "what?" every two or three sentences, haha.

Please tell me this is true. Pet camels would be a hit. Or hit it and quit it.

That's ironic. Newcastle and Irish are the most difficult to understand.

IDK, for me it depends on my mood. If I'm trying to chill I might not talk, but if we're tryharding then of course I'll try to be on mic.

[Frag_Maniac]

I'm picturing players horsing around in Breakpoint coop using robotic voices or R2D2 beeps to poke fun at the solo play, where a drone is your only, dare I say, "teammate".

[TOUGx]

For me, the reason is that I don't want them to tell me what to do. I speak English and Arabic.. So, when I play with Arabs I pretend that I don't understand and when I play with someone speaks English I pretent that I don't understand him unless he is a good player so when he says "if u understand me say well done people" I do it.

Mostly, I turn my mic on and try to communicate but some players make you quit the game due to their behavior.

Anyway, my secret is revealed know. Hahaha
