I suppose a stronger sense of self-assurance would solve this. Not sure how to do that exactly. I typically do the things I know I'll respect myself for tomorrow, and that gives me an overall positive self-image. This feels like a whole other beast compared to the mental challenges I've faced in the past. Tips?   | ||

Doing this, I find myself starting to pity the person BM'ing, rather than accepting what they say. Although, it's a lot easier to do this when you're winning than when it's a offensive GG or BM like that... Dude, u r ok with bending over, and letting the 12 year old run his bm all over your shiny virgin ass? U r theoretically giving the bm'er what he wants, responses, and letting him do it and give him validation to do it by trying to be nice. | ||

I suppose that leaves me with managing my emotions as best as possible to maintain a calm viewpoint. The intimidating fact about this solution is that even experienced, hardened competitors like FlaSh have trouble maintaining an absolutely clear and focused mind. | ||

Actually in most cases, I found that BM'ers want to invoke rage responses. Being polite (ignoring or not responding is part of being polite to an extent) or silly is the opposite of what he wants. Saying "I love you" in response to any BM works pretty well. | ||

Second of all, you need to realize that when somebody is BMing you, they typically either got their butts kicked unusually hard by you or they are on a monster losing streak. Either way, I take it (and you should as well) as a compliment and a good source of laughs. Nothing says "I'm fucking sick of losing to better players" quite like dropping the F-bomb at the start of the game and going mass voidrays or something. | ||

if you cant shake it off or realize that they are the ones being pathetic and probably also bm'd because you owned them, then maybe cheese the next few games as their race? idk? punch a pillow? smash shit on the wall? jerk off? w/e makes you calm down | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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) | ||

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. | ||
