Just a question on the Dota Rules that you Dota "die hards" live by. Can you link them? Is it an official rule or set of rules that is sanctioned by all the cyber gamings leagues? I have played Dota before and there are no such rules during the loading screen, no rules expect for the one the map editors set for you to choose as the host when everyone in the game has finished with the loading screen.

I ask this because you guys mentioned the Dota Rules a lot early in this thread.

By the way. If you guys play in the CC or Internet so much, you never encounter people whose computers suddenly restart or have fatal errors like BSODs where it causes the player to suddenly leave?

Plus if you play often enough, I am sure you can spot the "leavers" by the nicks they use early on to kick them out before the host starts?

What gives you the right to pass judgement that someone deserves to get lynched by a mob? You feel its okay for people to beat up someone because of a game? So by your reckoning, if your team is losing and you(the said people who condone that leavers should be beaten up) are being insulted by your teammates cause you are the one that is causing the loss then you leave the game, automatically you deserved to get the crap beaten out of you?

I do see that they(the people who made the map) always say to have fun playing the game.

You know what? If a game like this encourages violent tendencies. I can foresee it getting banned. If it gets banned because of some dota player beating the crap out of a leaver, then you can kiss it goodbye from the Malaysian WCG. If that happens, all your skills and what not will be useless when they ban this game because of the violence. The last thing YOU(as in anyone who wants to start trouble for other gamers) want to do is to give the political bodies more reasons to start looking at gaming the wrong way.

Already we got games like GTA4 getting banned in countries around us. You want DotA to be the new game added to the ban list?
