Now it's come to my attention that, well, how do I put this. People are jerks. This is armorgames, a website for people to make games and let others play them. Games created by the people for the people. And you would think that with this understanding people would be a lot calmer and nicer than people are on Xbox live or an online PC game. But no. On games like Exit Path and other multiplayer games or high score competition games, people are arguing at each other and slandering one another, and frankly it's terrible. When you do so you just seem like a sore winner or a sore loser and you act like a bratty 3 year old. People really need to just calm down and realize some facts like: IT'S JUST A GAME. I mean it's not like a million dollars is on the line or your life is on the line. Just calm down people.

Your acting like a 3 year old by ranting here, too.

But yeah, to get this back on topic, I admit it gets pretty annoying. People insulting each other, etc are very stupid and childish to begin with.

Check out the forums as we are usually nicer people (the regulars anyway) and if you contact a moderator they will issue warnings to the people posting offensive messages.

It's unfortunate that people, can't play games for fun. And it's a shame people are not so nice on the internet. I have come across plenty of people like that. When I did play Exit Path, however I did not notice anyone being mean for the time I played (most people didn;t say anything.). But I'm sure it happens.

I agree, It's just a game.

The reason those people act like that is because they were raised that way. Or the people around them affected them that way. Most of the people who are un-sportsmanlike will just ignore you if you say things like, 'It's just a game' or 'This isn't a big deal'. Other people like that will listen and then remain silent.

I agree on how people are bad sports. I remember when I played Exit Path a lot before I quit, and I was really good, and I used to win 4 out of every 5 matches and people used to swear at me for beating them, and when I didn't win the other people would swear at the winner, and that's not how it should be. I thought I was bad on the forums because I would criticize people for saying certain things, but I don't see a point in trash-talking if you lose on a game.

This is armorgames, a website for people to make games and let others play them.

Let me point out the important part of that:
a website

Yeah. This is the internet. People can hide behind their monitor and some odd nicknames, and that way feel bigger than they are. A little pathetic, but people get dumber and more rude when there is no direct consequence springing from their actions. If you call someone an idiot in real life, you would only do so if you were sure that person could either not hear you, or would not be able or willing to beat you up. On the internet, this does not matter, because no one is going to beat you up.
Same goes for competitions. All polite spirit and gentlemanship gets thrown over board, because there is nothing there to stop them.

Which basically come down to either feeling sorry for them and what little feeling of superiority they get from beating you in a game, or just ignoring it, knowing it is the internet and move on.

Actually Ive heard of cases where people track others down through the internet because some uncalled for things were said and beat them to a pulp. So no, your not completely safe when saying things through the internet

Lol I find it funny when people swear at people when they lose a game... It usually means that they are bad at the game. Sometimes I deliberately verse those people again so I can get an easy win.

My reply at those people: Go get a Life.

Gosh that happened to me thousands of times on Exit Path.This guy on Exit Path called me a ****** just cause I won a match.It was funny cause after every match he would call me something.But for people that can't just shake it off and say good game just don't play the game anymore.

Ya I can understand how my ranting can seem bothersome and I apologize. I just like to talk about things other people can have common ground on and I'm tired of all the whiners out there
