Being a heavy, I get the occasional playful "bump" from teammates, which usually means hello, which is cool. But there have been quite a few times when my fellow teammates won't stop bumping or pushing me around during a TBM online game (mainly on Lep's or Dash's server). Maybe it's the thrill of a light being able to push around a heavy, don't know.

Today I had 2 in one game and I declared war. After killing them both 4 or 5 times, the swearing started (probably since they didn't have a chance against me) and I left the game. Now I realize this is an online game so there will be some morons that play it. But for me, I felt my actions were justified.

Now I will admit that it's easy to accidently kill or shoot your teammates when in heated battle (sorry Bolo!), and maybe a few warning shots are in order if it keeps hapening.

But when do you turn and pull the trigger? Do you ever start team killing pests on your team that specifically target you?

Merry Christmas all!!

I do Muscles. I've done it several times. I've had several n00b players that are quite cocky and arrogant and have big mouths say "insults" to me and they were on my team. One of them fired 2 shots at my rear, I turned around and went rage on his tank. Than he just went crazy. "Maverick, you suck." "Maverick you're this. Maverick you're that." He said.

I will retaliate against most hostile acts against me. Now I know this is a game, and you retaliate against the opponent, but when it comes to your own teammate, I retaliate very seriously if they hit me on purpose, even if it's one shot. I can tell if it's a warning shot or not.

That's just my way.

-Maverick

I accidndentally shot a teammate on my first time ever playing(other than target practice), due to my reflex of shooting anyone who doesn't have green above them(In most action games, green means good, red/blue/orange means bad) and suddenly half my team was on my tail. I took out 2 of them before they got me. I wasn't happy >_<

@ Dark Merlyn

The best thing to do to avoid this is to verify which color you are when your tank first hits the ground. Simply glance in the upper left part of your screen quickly. Don't believe the text message that appears when you first enter, it can be wrong. Once "teamkiller" is announced, it will get ugly quick.

I have no problems turning against my own team if I see fit :)
