What are the unspoken "rules" of gaming?

Is this post intentionally ironic? You're making an overly serious response to a silly post in a silly thread, the only representation of the Smash community here is yours :p

I don't even play competitive Smash anymore nor do I really care for the series at this point, haven't gone to a tournament in about 6 months. It wasn't intentionally anything other than an attempt to stop seeing that incorrect and disparaging meme pasted everywhere Smash and Rules are mentioned. It perpetuates stupidity and I don't agree with it. I could say "RAPE IS OKAY" since it's a silly post in a silly thread, but that doesn't mean it won't invoke a serious response.

I was being sarcastic. :P

I understand that. See above.
 
Wash your hands before you pick up my controllers. Actually, that one is spoken. Few things are more repulsive or OCD inducing than a greasy controller.
 
If you're the last person to die in Monster Hunter the quest was lost because of you, even if you only died once or another player already died twice before you. It's your fucking fault.

One-Hit-Kill Mode in Perfect Dark/Goldeneye is a must, thus pistol/sniper-only matches. No Rocket Launchers, SMGs and such allowed.

Loser decides the next stage.

Low/No items in any Smash Bros.

The host gets to pick his/her character first (if the game didn't offer the possibility to use the same character twice, like in Mario Kart).

All Fifa players agree

No Oddjob....you cheating no skill having fuck.

no eating and gaming

you lose pass it on, 3/4th pass it on

playing for an hour? Pass it on

when you smack talk if no one laughs, it is just personal so you need a time out and pass it on....
 
For Shooter, no screen looking.
Pass the controller when you died.
Take votes on what game to be played.
If your hands sweat, wipe the controller off before you pass it... srsly
 
When playing FIFA and you're playing your mates and they get a penalty, you must always look out of the corner of your eye to see which way they're going. When you're taking a penalty, always shield your controller from prying eyes. ;)
 
If you play a competitive game: Shooter, fighter, racer. With a friend or significant other that has never played a game before, you let them win a few times to feel good about themselves before you let loose and crush them. Otherwise they loose interest too fast and won't play.
 
Spam the opposing teams spawn till they bleed. Don't walk in front of the TV. Go around! Don't put the controller back completely discharged. If you borrow said controller, you got to bring it back, and resync it to the proper console. Put the games away once you're done. And my favorite, during my DSL days, dont be watching NETFLIX while I'm playing MW2. Lags me out too bad.
