Teabagside 2 : Planetside 2's growing teabag culture

Thank you BCP... and MLG

"T-bagging equals minus kills." - level100 colonel

That's strange, I don't see people t-bagging me when I play Uncharted or any other game that isn't an FPS.

Every 5 seconds wasted teabagging is 5 seconds you could had been harvesting more kills.

For that short moment before the respawn screen takes over and you get to see what happens, there are two teabag situations that give me a chuckle.

1. When the teabagger is not even the one who killled me, or did not even show up on the kill screen as helping. I just chuckle and feel a tiny surge of pity for a person who needs that level of ego boosting.
2. The teabagger moves in to do it's thing and I get to see it die because it valued the ego stroke over something like succeeding in the game.

Then I respawn and go back to playing. If my target is dead, that means I won and my attention moves on to another target. If I died, that means I lost and after I respawn I will move on to another target.

I only bag the the ubgl user and infil/smg people. otherwise I treat them with respect.

^This^

The one nasty habit I learned in TF2 that burns players every time is using the voice command to yell "Thanks" after every kill. There's no way they can't hear it unless their sound is turned off.

If your goal is negative attention, I guess that's great.

Better than no attention at all. It's why my neice rubs crayons on the walls when feeling lonely.

I'm okay with people doing whatever they want with my pixels on the Internet. Then again, if a person keeps on tea bagging, harassing and cussing me constantly for more than 30 minutes.... then, something is wrong with said person.

I'm technically "okay" with it too. It's still sad and says more about the teabagging kiddie than it does about the bagged.

I place part of the blame, at least in the growing teabaggy attitude, upon the most recent battle island feeds.

It's not "sad" when it's something done ONCE against you ("Thrill of the kill", so they say.). But if said person keeps insisting on harassing you exclusively for no other "valid" reason... then yes, it's sad and said person is either a 12 year old or someone who has IRL issues and is using you as a relief.

If kills thrill so much, I'd assume the thrill would wear out unless kills are rare for that person.

It's not exactly hard to kill people in a ZOE MAX (which has a lot of teabaggy users). Hell, I've gone on 12 person killstreaks with mine on my rarely-used VS alt before and I'm statistically awful at this game, as the MLG enthusiasts like to point out.

While I use /v /6 on occasion to playfully taunt, I never teabag corpses except for two notable incidents.

The first time I was running infiltrator encountered a TR infiltrator and got into a pistol duel, which he won. Teabagging on my corpse followed. Well whatever, respawn and back to the fight with my heavy assault. I then happened to come across this same guy (still as his infiltrator) along with three other teammates that were huddled in a room and healing each other up. Concussion grenade went in, I followed with my EM6 and managed to take them all out. You can bet that I had a special little something for my friend's corpse on the ground.

The second time was during a fight at Peris Amp Station when TR held the southwest warpgate. I heard a gun duel in one of the wall towers which I was standing next to, so naturally I ran up the stairs to investigate. I came across a TR light assault in the midst of eagerly teabagging the guy he'd taken down, completely oblivious to the fact that I had come up behind him with my Mauler in hand. Needless to say I blew him away and quickly followed up with a vigorious 'dip dip potato chip' of my own.

I don't think any jury would convict me for those two incidents.

Or said person is a dick and actually enjoys that.
Then again, there's a difference between being a dick and being REALLY angry.
And since we are talking about such: I used to spam a macro every time I've done something "amusing", two or three times. And that's it. And I was like, 14 to 15 years old. Quake 2, your typical "bad to standard" player.

I can understand and relate. Sometimes I might troll on /yell, even today, if a 2 to 1 swarm on a base is repulsed. Usually something like "next time being 3 to 1". It's not helpful and I feel kind of guilty but it also feels good.

I'm nmot familiar with /v /6. I really am not. What's it mean, in case I see it?

Hit your V key for the voice menu. Then hit the 6 key to taunt.

OHHH.

I already do that. But usually I use the /v /1 version.
