People Can Still be Assholes with Only a Few Words
Magic the Gathering Arena is a fun game. Limited chat features means it stays civil. Mostly. You can say the following:
Hello!
Good Game.
Nice!
Your go.
Oops.
Thanks!
Sorry!
And maybe a few others.
But mostly people use Good Game. And I think about half of players use it not to say it was actually a good game, but to say the game is over. The other half use it cockily, like “look how good I owned you.”
They use “Your go” when they think they’ve won, and don’t want to give you a fighting chance.
They also use “oops” to insult you when they think you’ve messed up.
They also use “nice” ironically when you are taking too long for your turn or you’ve blundered somehow.
Worse is when they wait out their timer when they know they’re going to win, and they wait for you to concede. It’s uncivil and it’s not a sign of dominance. It’s a fucking game for nerds. You can’t be alpha in an online card game. That’s about as lame as you can get. Just fucking play the game and get it over with. You’re a fucking nerd, like me, so just finish it and stop being an asshole.
It just shows that people, even with a few word options, are so so awful.
