really? I love getting BM'd (if I'm winning / won)

I imagine myself like Cartman in that episode where he tricks the redhead into eating his parents, as if I'm licking the nerd tears off my opponents face in joy.

Saying "I love you" as stated earlier is the best. THEY get pissed. Then start typing the lyrics to "What is Love?" oh maaaaan its great. they usually all in immedietly, and BM (gg).

just tune it out! i always turn on my music louder when there's some BM going on in the game. just focus on what your build..if they're BM'ing you and having to type..you may assume your opponent is falling behind due to having to type so often. ignore them..focus on your build!

If it bothers you too much, just ignore them! It's your gaming time and nobody has the right to make you feel bad while playing. I generally respond with something along the line of "I'm sorry you feel that way." It can help both them and you to have a response that diffuses the situation. But if not, just ignore and move on.

I have a solution, when someone BMs you, just paste random Korean text at them. They are defeated because you are Korean and "can not read" their BM.

e.g.

NutBuster5000: LOL NOOB U SUK
NutBuster5000: HUEHUEHUE
Misanthrope: 난 영어 안합니다
NutBuster5000: WTF KOREAN i am screwed

EDIT

You can also do this in team games if you don't feel like having to communicate with your allies. Throwing Korean at someone is in my experience every bit as effective as ignoring someone.

What Jeff meant was that it didn't matter whether or not Troy wore the jacket. What was "weak" was his reasoning. He either wanted to take off the jacket so people stopped harassing him, or keep wearing it to piss them off. He was seeking to either please or piss them, instead of just wearing the jacket because he liked it or didn't like it. Troy just had to learn to ignore them and do what he wanted. Which is your problem, right? You want to make your own decisions uninfluenced by them.

Well you can get around this in a variety of ways. When I go into a ladder session (which I'm assuming is where you are getting BMd mostly) I turn on "Only allow friends to message me." That way, if the guy tries to BM you outside of the game, he can't. You can turn it off once you're done laddering since I doubt the trolls have the attention span to pester you for longer than 10 minutes.

When the game starts, I don't "gl hf". (This tends to be where a lot of BM starts) I wait for the other guy to say it first, and then I respond to it. This way, they'll have to be mannered first, and you'll know who on the ladder is mannered or not, and you're only going to be mannered to those who are also manner.

EDIT: btw sinensis, wouldn't it be more convincing to type in spanish or something? (or whatever language is spoken by the majority of people in the region your region is linked with)

usually works for me when I've had a bad day ^^

Did you know that scene is from a Shakespeare play? I'm always baffled when I see allusions in that show that none of their core audience will get. Like My Neighbour Totoro. I don't even watch South Park much, so they must do it all the time. Not so sure if they do it to be witty or because it's easy to insert their characters into anything to make it funny.

people on korea ladder in bw bm me a lot. I get over it by realizing that they would never say such horrible things to my face and are simply cowards. they are insecure so they have to bm to bring people down. we are better so I shrug it off and start typing back in english. They get REAL mad even though I am saying nice things.

Agree, there nothing more rewarding after winning a game it just puts a smile on my face for 10mins afterwards

I like Xarow's idea, I was going to suggest it too...maybe if its really affecting you you can press the hotkey for communication and block the player? Otherwise I think its best to just ignore the person. Because if you're that sensitive then fighting back will make things worse, and saying things like "I love you" might weird them out but they might also thing you're being sarcastic and insult you further.

on a side note, if a player starts BMing you at the start of the game with things like "XX IMBA" or not write gl hf, its MUCH more likely to be an all in strategy or cheese.

I cant count the games ive won by just playing it safer after some weird BM

If you get bmed, you should counter gm and be overly polite and troll them. that usually makes them stop. it also is funny to see their reaction.
