This is the second of two polls that I've created because it is clear to me that one of the things that leads to the bitterest arguments, and the nastiest insults, and the longest running feuds in this game is that there are tactics that are perfectly legal, but that some percentage of the players think are unfair, dirty, or poor sportsmanship. So if somebody uses those tactics on them, they go ballistic, and fill all the in-game chat channels with invective and screaming and threats towards the awful, awful person who used these tactics against them.
So I compiled a list of 24 of the most-complained about non-exploit tactics. Check the boxes above and vote for them if (and only) if you not only think it's fair for you to use these tactics, but if you don't complain when other people use them against you.
As of when I put this part 2 of the poll up, only a few people have voted, but nobody has yet voted that all 12 of those tactics were dirty play or otherwise unfair. Let that be a warning to you: you are playing a game where there are people who have no twinge in their conscience if they do something like this to you. Heck, for all of the complaining, and as important as good sportsmanship is to me and as much as I prefer, even I think that some of these 24 tactics are perfectly fair.
(Don't complain if you see this message before the poll gets posted. It takes a while to edit a 13-question poll, and this software requires me to post the header message before I enter the poll questions.)
Edit: Dammit, it screwed up the edit on me. The 8th question is supposed to read "Using parashock or freezer weapons under any circumstances," but somehow the first word and a half of it got cut off.
Edit 2: Crap. And I worded the last question backwards. It was meant to be a "none of the above," not an "all of the above." That's going to throw off the results, but there's nothing to do about it now. Sorry.
