I was playing against bots today and noticed them doing it. Did they always? If they didn't, I might suggest that new players are learning from single player play.

Is that a feature request?
Hah. Not really actually, but it would be really cool although...Then n00bs don't feel so lonely if they play Local. I've been playing some Games where Bots used to Talk. And it was pretty funny how they always shouted:"I'm your Daddy!" and stuff.

I started in a highschool class based clan called [Pi] and made a regular habit of digging as deep as I could in the DDL rim and binding back and forth. While doing so we would type out " I AM A WALLTIGER!!!!!!!GRRRRRRRRR!" until amarok or some such would kill us.

[Pi] reminds me of when I convinced a bunch of my friends in college to play in some random shooting server. We created di^ clan. We were di^ssect, di^nosaur, di^agnose, and then there was my buddy Johnny who named himself di^arrhea LOL

The first couple of days I thought all players were bots with various sets of instant chats, programmed to say "wd" when killed and respond "ty" to a "wd" (plus some other random things people might say). I tried making contact by saying hello and they responded "hi". Took a few days before I accepted that they were actual people.
lmfao titan...that's hilarious

The first time I played, I went to a fortress server.

I was not grinding, so of course, they yelled at me. I somehow conviced them to let me take center (after I was told how to) and killed my right wing in the first second in revenge for them yelling at me. I was very, very quickly banned from the server.

So, I then went only to racing servers where I thought o ne would know me, and changed my name every time I played (becuase I thought I was still banned.) An admin at DD racng (I forget who) caught on that the guy with always changing names related to F-Zero was one person, locked name for the time, and yelled at me quit changing my name or be kicked next time. I have been Cosmic Dolphin most of the time since then.

Ok, but why did I add this signature? I was like 15 and thought I was smart? What a brat.

The first time I played online marked me for life:
I went to play in a server and Chills was there. His skills scared me a lot, I could not advance more than a few seconds and then got core dumped haha. So I spent a week playing only offline.
When I discovered he was a human player that surprised me and I went more astonished.
