		<description>I was out of town with family, so no Christmas postings.  I will have another post up in a little bit, but it may be my last for a while and it won't be a very heavy post.</description>

		<description>I have run into this most frequently when my friend and I are playing on Isis.  Now, I know that people think that Isis is overplayed, and we do mix it up, but we enjoy the dynamic of the map, especially with the new reclaimables.

What happens is, we often end up turtling, and almost every person we play against throws hoards of units at our defenses, and is constantly losing resources.  On top of that, they never bother to upgrade the extractors on their side of the map, and if they do, then they fail to put tac defense up.  Don't get me wrong, we lose from time to time to someone who does a good job to exploit the obvious and numerous weaknesses that are present in an Isis turtle.  My problem is that nearly the majority of people we play against complain, saying that we "ruined the game with lame tactics.  They will often quit the moment we manage to slip a nuke in, or use the commander advanced tac well, saying they've lost and that it was a bad game.

While I understand that some people don't like fighting certain tactics, if you lose to something frequently, figure out how to defeat it.  For instance, turtles often lack any real mobility when compared to the people they're playing against, so large number of tacs, stealth fielded arty arrays, lots of things are valid tactics that a turtle will have trouble dealing with.

That's my 2.5 cents.  Enjoy. =)

		<description>Yeah, I mean don't get me wrong I'm not exactly crying myself to sleep at night or anything.  I thoroughly enjoy winning any ranked match, and this one was no exception.  Any online game has got rude people, morons, "griefers", etc.  I played EVE Online for a while and saw a lot of that, its inescapable.  I agree with Molloy that most people are in fact generally very polite, though different games have a different community around them.  The average age of Halo players, for example, is probably quite a bit lower than that of Forged Alliance players.  However, the interaction between players in a 1v1 RTS, as opposed to the interaction of people in a large first-person shooter, for example, means that the behavior of Forged Alliance players will always have a more significant impact on my enjoyment of the game experience.  I don't think there is anything wrong with using a public venue such as this to remind players how important sportsmanship is.</description>
