PiNs_Da_Smoka 0 Posted January 14, 2003 I have no clue if this has ever been posted before, but i was just sitting here wondering. What exactly do most people do while they are sitting in the room waiting for an MP game on a server to end so they can join the action? Please, no retarded answers like "I like to sit back and enjoy large amounts of bukakke porn" or crap like that. I'm serious, besides possibly chatting with others waiting, or getting yelled at by Carol Cray on Radishville because the server says you have modifed data.pbo and config.bin (WHICH I DONT! ) Just what does the majority do? I'm ready for uber boring answers like "i view www.somethingawful.com and have a good laugh before i frag some mofos up". But i'm ready for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchy 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Roll up a few smokes, have a bit of banter with the players on Teamspeak, and hassle people on IRC to join the server soon. Is that not what everyone does though? I feel pretty boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Die Alive 0 Posted January 14, 2003 I play Tetris on this NES rom program. My record is 124 lines. I usually check back every 5 minutes, just to make sure they didn't start a new game without me. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kegetys 2 Posted January 14, 2003 IRC, browse this forum or the internet in general, listen to music, watch tv... Although very often people in our squad IRC channel say when there is a new game starting at our server and thats when people join. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr. Duck 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Read a book, walking around the house, have a quick snack, reading some more, watching the screen... That's it I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FSPilot 0 Posted January 14, 2003 Sit and chat. Which usually gets pretty frustrating because everyone including the mod will get a spot and we'll just sit and wait. For more people I guess, it's still boring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benu 1 Posted January 14, 2003 I alt+tab to windows and surf, or i read something, make myself tea, etc. All kind of things. I am in TS2 all the time, so the guys tell me when a new game starts and i can really do anything during that time... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Renagade 0 Posted January 14, 2003 I don`t play mp that much becuase i dont find it fun. seeign a game that looks ready to start then trying to join it only to get the stupid insert cd error. idiot players whining i lag the server because my ping reads 300 yet they still dont grasp that most 56kers do get stupid pings as soon as they join but they go down to150. Im still puzzled how a 56k line could lag the server more then the rest of them with their stupidly big cable/dsl bandwidth hogging plus theres also a few other reasons.

But i should clarify, i'm asking this for more then personal reasons. My friends little brother is writing a paper for school, and some reason he asked me to ask this question, although i really don't know the specifics as to what in gods name this would have to do with the paper.
