Writing the unwritten rules
We’ve all been there. You’re enjoying yourself with some online play, be it on the PC or over XBox Live, and all of a sudden something happens that ruins it all. It can be anything, but invariably it’s the actions of another player rather than the action of the game itself. You see the problem is that different people have differing opinions on what is acceptable and what isn’t. It all comes down to etiquette, and the biggest problem is that, with online gaming, there are no hard and fast rules. What few rules there are appear to be unwritten, and therefore some people don’t know about them.
