ETPsych



The accused are suspected of:

Severe PM Abuse




Game number(s):
7984809



Comments:

You need only glance at this player's ratings to see that he is consistently rude and abusive. His unabashed cruelty and low-brow insults destroy what is for me, a paying customer, an activity that I enjoy during leisure time. As you can see in the transcript below his comments were not constructive criticisms or gentle jibes, they were viscous, childish, and attempts at cruelty. As far as abuses go I would say that the conversation shows strong examples of, Trolling, Flaming, and Flame Baiting. I trust that this player is the type of player that this forum exists for, and I hope that this matter can be resolved.

2010-11-17 00:39:56 - l.bankerd [team]: and your judgement of this is based off a troop placement on magadan

2010-11-17 00:43:31 - ETPsych: Sorry to hear that, is she as dim a bulb as scooter?
2010-11-17 00:43:58 - John Deere: LOL you two are funny!
2010-11-17 00:44:00 - l.bankerd: case in point

2010-11-17 00:47:58 - Great-Ollie: gg guys
2010-11-17 00:48:29 - l.bankerd: then you should encourage more players to start more speed games at night

[Arama86n]

The accused is one of the more vile people on site.
Glad he foed me for beating him so I never had to play that piece of work again. Irony does some good work though. ~Foed because I was lower ranked than his, after 7000 games, oh so impressive SFC. Looks like some things change, where as others remain painfully stagnant...

[l.bankerd]

I have done some research on some of this player's past games and have a disturbing run of outrageous nastiness. One need only check every game they have lost to see that they consistently blame their defeat on the computer and belittle other players. There is also a long background of dead-beating, a very long background. Also, ratings are consistently used as a threat to other players in a large number of games. These are not the most obnoxious offences however. Consistent degrading language, a seeming obsession with accusations of homosexuality, and a compulsion to attack and disrespect other players plague their history. After finding out all of this I am confident that actions will most definitely be taken to remove a canker from what has thus far to my eye been a fine community of players.

Here are more examples of bigoted name calling and derisive conversation.

Game 7984868
2010-11-17 00:26:11 - ETPsych: You have played over 600 games, I don't think you are a newb, and you are up by 12 armies in the second round and you don't think you win this game. All that leaves is that you must be an idiot
2010-11-17 00:26:45 - SeriouslyANewb: or I have played 600 games and I am well aware of how the dice can fall
2010-11-17 00:27:09 - SeriouslyANewb: but sure I am okay with seeing it your way. Mind attacking neutrals to promise me the victory?
2010-11-17 00:27:50 - ETPsych: You were right, you are a noob
2010-11-17 00:31:11 - SeriouslyANewb: ... thank you?
2010-11-17 00:36:09 - SeriouslyANewb: Real mature not finishinf
2010-11-17 00:36:12 - SeriouslyANewb: *finishing
2010-11-17 00:42:55 - ETPsych: Hooked on phonics worked for me. lolol

Game 7984694
2010-11-16 23:32:40 - ETPsych: lol, what total shit dice 12 vs 3 neutrals and I lose 8 to 1, outstanding. I don't mind losing to an opponent but not to the fucking computer
2010-11-16 23:39:19 - ETPsych: enjoy the gift, a little old to refer to yourself as boy arent ya??? unless you are gay then it would make sense
2010-11-16 23:40:13 - soldierboy: I know what you mean the dice have been doing the same to me as well
2010-11-16 23:41:59 - soldierboy: And it is a name
2010-11-16 23:42:44 - soldierboy: So I you must be A psycho
2010-11-16 23:42:52 - soldierboy: then
2010-11-16 23:47:02 - soldierboy: Just because my name you think I am gay?????
2010-11-16 23:47:35 - soldierboy: The only one that is gay are the people that can't finish the game
2010-11-16 23:47:53 - soldierboy: I have the bad dice as well but I always finish my games

Game 7983611

2010-11-16 19:14:38 - ETPsych: Ok I get it, you ride the short bus

2010-11-16 19:17:11 - ETPsych: Enjoy your feedback newbie

Game 7973490
2010-11-14 23:20:45 - ETPsych: You aren't any good by looking at your win percentage, looks like even the losers get lucky sometimes

Game 7943798
2010-11-09 19:45:56 - ETPsych: Sorry, but your screen name sounds like something out of a gay porn

Game 7961634
2010-11-12 21:09:53 - ETPsych: Oh now that you are winning it is fun?? You won because the computer handed you three sets of rainbows on nine cards, otherwise you get your ass kicked.
2010-11-12 21:10:03 - BoomerJew: because the dice have been killing me...
2010-11-12 21:10:18 - BoomerJew: Yes, I would have lost because you own the dice
2010-11-12 21:10:30 - ETPsych: Whatever Jew boy
2010-11-12 21:11:47 - BoomerJew: wow, this turned from friendly banter to bitter pretty quick. I thought this game was fun, but I guess its not for you
2010-11-12 21:16:05 - BoomerJew: gg

Game 7725939
2010-09-30 20:37:09 - ETPsych: Good drop for you
2010-09-30 20:40:14 - ETPsych: Are you slow or the computer?
2010-09-30 20:41:47 - ETPsych: most of my armies are isolated, your game
2010-09-30 20:47:06 - ETPsych: I gotta go dude, this is a speed game, you are putting me to sleep with your slow play
2010-09-30 21:00:23 - ETPsych: no defense for your luck, but you still play like old people f*ck, slow and sloppy
2010-09-30 21:01:24 - Th Hammer: playing 4 games..plus a hockey draft..gg though
2010-09-30 21:07:37 - ETPsych: lol, run to the casinos
2010-09-30 21:11:53 - ETPsych: this is becoming the saddest win I have seen in a long time. This should have been over five rounds ago between the lopsided drop and three sets of rainbow cards
2010-09-30 21:19:28 - Th Hammer: but if you won it would have been the greatest victory..lol

Game 7697403
2010-09-26 00:03:57 - ETPsych: Nice of you to stop by
2010-09-26 00:07:59 - ETPsych: You just got dream dice, looks like you win newbie
2010-09-26 00:08:41 - rgbowen: im not so sure about that yet
2010-09-26 00:09:10 - ETPsych: My question is why are you playing so slow if this is your only speed game?
2010-09-26 00:09:51 - ETPsych: You sure now lucky?
2010-09-26 00:10:03 - ETPsych: You were due, you havn't won many

2010-09-26 00:11:01 - ETPsych: I will be any way I care to be
2010-09-26 00:11:24 - ETPsych: See, you get a load of points for getting lucky and if I beat you I get 8 whole points
2010-09-26 00:11:44 - ETPsych: So enjoy the attitude and your feedback douche bag
2010-09-26 00:13:55 - rgbowen: ok, but i fail to see how i have done anything wrong
2010-09-26 00:15:08 - ETPsych: Did I say you did anything wrong? I just said you got lucky this game.
2010-09-26 00:15:24 - ETPsych: Am I wrong, or should I have said you are a brilliant strategist?
2010-09-26 00:16:29 - ETPsych: Your slow play is putting me to sleep though
2010-09-26 00:17:50 - ETPsych: ZZzzzz

2010-11-07 15:17:29 - ETPsych: No skill involved in this game
2010-11-07 15:20:43 - mr zal: ya all luck

Game 7821863
2010-10-18 16:23:10 - ETPsych: That roll may have just killed my chances
2010-10-18 16:52:23 - ETPsych: Sorry I signed up for this game, you were so into your other game you took forever to take a turn
2010-10-18 16:58:59 - ETPsych: You win, this is like watching two flies f*ck

Game 7726635
2010-09-30 22:41:19 - ETPsych: Dice like you better than me, your game
2010-09-30 22:42:53 - ETPsych: and so do cards
2010-09-30 22:44:16 - ETPsych: good luck for you newbie
2010-09-30 22:46:41 - allteksystems: you suck
2010-09-30 22:47:00 - allteksystems: but really, my last4 gave have been total losses
2010-09-30 22:50:20 - ETPsych: my record would indicate otherwise
2010-09-30 22:50:44 - ETPsych: enjoy your feedback, it will hurt you more than yours will hurt me.
2010-09-30 22:51:17 - ETPsych: and just taking notice of another lucky rainbow set, let's see, what is your win percentage, 30 something. lololololololo
2010-09-30 22:52:02 - allteksystems: so you give bad rating to game you lost...seems childish

Game 7669461
2010-09-20 23:06:05 - ETPsych: lol, whatever
2010-09-20 23:06:32 - ETPsych: I think the computer should simply transfer the points and stop wasting peoples time
2010-09-20 23:13:37 - stavros.maginty: I've never understood why it can't be coded so no one starts with a bonus
2010-09-20 23:15:43 - ETPsych: and a rainbow on three cards, total joke
2010-09-20 23:16:23 - stavros.maginty: I wouldn't take it so personally
2010-09-20 23:17:13 - ETPsych: I don't take it personally, just pissed off at the administrators who don't know how to program a game and myself for giving them $25 for this bullshit
2010-09-20 23:17:39 - ETPsych: You should be equally pissed off, this kind of lopsided game isn't fun for either side
2010-09-20 23:20:50 - stavros.maginty: I don't bother with it now, played long enough to know the limitations and it's my own risk if I join a 1v1
2010-09-20 23:21:04 - stavros.maginty: I like the site for what it is and $25 is a bargain imo
2010-09-20 23:21:18 - stavros.maginty: Just don't take it too seriously and play for fun is my motto
2010-09-20 23:25:08 - ETPsych: I will start on the bumper stickers for you

Bottom Line: ETPsych = Bad for Business

[Leehar]

Is this really pm abuse or just game chat abuse tho?

[l.bankerd]

Is there any conceivable way in which this behavior could be excused or condoned by the moderators and operators of this site?
It is not as if this is a first or one time thing.
This player has a long string of instances where a great many other players suffered due to their conduct and actions.

You have the ability to rate him. You also have the ability to FOE and never play with or see what he says.

Sorry but I don't see a punishable rules violation in all of this game chat.

[l.bankerd]

Perhaps this will help.
Here are some of the guidelines I have read;
"What is not allowed is any form of bigotry or other flames as outlined in the Forum Guidelines."

"Posting controversial or irrelevant messages or topics with the intent to provoke someone else into a contest of over-manly confrontation, emotional response, flame fest or to generally disrupt the discussion, community or user is not cool. Prompting or provoking others (Baiting) to do that is just as bad."

"Attacking a person instead of the user is NOT ok - it's all fun and games until it becomes personal.
Yes, we are liberal on coarse language, but this does not mean cyber-bullying or abusive bigotry is acceptable anywhere.
You will be removed from the community for cyber-bullying or abusive bigotry."
"Bigotry includes racism, sexism, ageism, homophobia/sexual orientation bashing, religion bashing, lack of religion bashing, or wishing violence on any group of people, etc."

Two about homosexuality and one about religion.

Also, his consistent, non-repentant dead-beating certainly has to be an issue.

[richmnty7]

It may not be PM abuse but it is definately abuse and un-called for, I have played this guy and he is vile and unprovoked in his berating. He blames and abuses when he is losing and even abuses when he wins.. As a paying member of a generally relaxed site we dont expect to receive this abuse; yes we can foe him and never play him again but what about the others who come across this guy.

The initial accusation is correct, ETPsych isnt random in his abuse, it isnt a odd occurance; it is literally every game and should not be tolerated.

BTW, his rating of me has disappeared from my list, why is this?

[l.bankerd]

He deletes them himself.

I want to be clear. I am really not trying to be shitty. People can be as ruthless and glib as they want to be, this is a war game. As such, I have played with several players who have used foul language and harsh words and have taken the whole game disturbingly seriously but none as ignorant as this one. So rude that he takes the time to trash talk the site. Not the kind of member Conquer Club can be proud of, nor whom with we players can be pleased to play.

[king achilles]

All these game chats coming from ETPsych can be seen as common flaming. I can't totally agree that some of them are homophobic or bigoted, although they can be borderline to that sense. He is due for a permanent vacation should he commit his 3rd major infraction. For now, this report is noted and a pm has been sent to make him be more mindful of what he says.

[l.bankerd]

So to be clear, am I to understand that 'common flashing' is not a big deal?
-also-
Maybe this is clear and far enough over the border;
"Bigotry includes racism, sexism, AGEISM, homophobia/sexual orientation bashing, religion bashing, lack of religion bashing, or wishing violence on any group of people, etc."
Ageism?- 2010-09-30 21:00:23 - ETPsych: no defense for your luck, but you still play like old people f*ck, slow and sloppy.
Poor old people. They have been through so much just to have ETPsych to make fun of their coitus.
