Not crowding someone out of a wall. Or walking right in front of missile bot who who are waiting for an opportunity to shoot.

Well, that's an interesting (and apparently colorful, judging by our names) club to be named part of!

-I'll sometimes run my Gepard straight into an onslaught of enemy fire. I wont dance or anything. Just letting them bring me down and kill a Gepard is good for everyones morale. -If theres a Gepard on my team, I wont shoot at bots that are shooting at him. He has to pull his own weight. Sometimes, ill even run the other way so that i dont draw their fire.
These are my courtesies to the other team.

If Im in a losing match I drop all my bots so the other team gets max cups. Please show me where I used the word "eject"? ...and now we discover that instead of clarifying, asking questions, or introspectively examining your own language you'd rather jump on someone who doesn't understand. I still think it's nonsense to simply not fight when you think you're losing, no matter how dire the situation seems.k i believe that what he is saying is, if it's a losing battle, he continues to spawn all his bots knowing that that he's going to get massacred so the opposing players can earn points. He didn't say he wasn't fighting.

He didn't say he wasn't fighting. Oh, I figured out what he meant, but he said precisely that he gives up and doesn't fight. If Im in a losing match I drop all my bots so the other team gets max cups. This actually prevents them from dealing damage and denies them the cups. Besides, why are you giving up? If red is sittling in my spawn point and Im the only guy left what possible chance do you think I have of winning? You either didnt understand my statement or are playing a different game The bottom line is that I might be playing the same game, but I'm playing it a different way.

Everyone enjoys killing Gepards, I'm spreading joy.

I try not to kill AFK players. No point fighting someone who can't fight back. #Chivalry I kill AFK players for the gold, man. If someone gives you a gift, turning it down is rude. I agree, saltesers--I'm morally flexible when it come to AFKs.

Oh, here's another one. If we've pretty much sealed a win on beacons and also outnumber the reds, I won't take beacons I could've taken because that needlessly shortens the match. Even if I'm way too far away from the action to join in myself, I'll still let my teammates savor the experience of chasing down the last few survivors as much as possible.

I've been thinking long and hard for my answer to this so here it comes. Some may not like them because they are a bit sarcastic. Read on at your own peril...
1. I read through the forums looking for people that say they are killing geps with their mean old patrons, and I hunt them.
2. I watch for clobbers names and I drop down to low silver/ bronze and, you guessed it I hunt them. (Not all gep pilots are clubbers)
3. if you block me running to the beacon, i steal your kills, and lead the reds right to you.
4. I will wade right in to help out a guy if he's getting pummled.
5. i like to help out the little guys against the bullies.
6. if i see a rhino, I go on safari.
7. my wife has trained me well to kill spiders
8. if a low level guy invites me to sqaud, i try to join and give them some pointers

I put this on the shout board, but I think this place could use a politics board with the rule that politics could only be discussed there, and that what's discussed there stays there. Same rules on behavior as all the others. Is the comment he's responding to the one sochilli (Saltesers) got banned for?

Wait, what? Salty snagged himself a temporary ban? Edit: Ahhh, I see what happened.

I saw a video where Stew Pendous said it was bad form to shoot a robot who was motionless and not participating as their pilot was probably just taking a comfort break. I must admit I usually just go for these (unless I'm under attack from another) as they're easy silver but I feel a little bit guilty now. What do the rest of you do?

I admit I shoot at them, but like you, I know I shouldn't, both because they're probably experiencing technical difficulties, secondly because they aren't a high priority threat to you or your team, and thus shouldn't be a high priority target.
But they do make me feel like my aim isn't that atrocious.

They would probably do the same to you however. Do unto others what you would want them to do unto you.

Shoot them unless something is shooting at me. To do otherwise is a disservice to your team. Unless it is a zenit Natasha, then leave him alone so he can do 50k damage for the entire game.

I was stuck at the Yamantau center beacon in my Rhino with only a few thousand hit points left, shield up, most weapons knocked off, facing two plasma griffs. While I'm scrafching my head, thinking of punching out, I see a blue Galahad using me as extra cover. So I stayed put for another 10-20 seconds until i got blown up. I felt kind of s-m-r-t.

AFK or disconnected pilots are my lowest priority targets. Sweep surrounding area for any active incoming hostiles and target if on attack vector. Check for vulnerable beacons nearby. If no other priorities found, 'free' damage padding. zeus said the same thing, I'm just a wordy nut-job strategist.
