Ewok is easy, "Congratulations," like everything else in their language, is, "Nyub-yub."

There is no expression of congratulations in Klingon. In fact, in the Klingon version of CoX, any toon that doesn't level during a mission is summarily killed at the end of that mission. It's the best selling MMO in the Empire.

Vulcans only gain a level every seven years and the Ceremony of Congratulations takes longer, and is more excrutiating, than a team of level 10 Ill/Empathy Controllers running a Positron TF.

In Catgirl, "Congrats" is unspoken. You need a special emote that consists of rubbing your cheek on the shin bone of the person you are congratulating while simultaneously purring. The only way to get this emote is to complete the super secret Mynx Task Force that is unlocked by getting a catgirl of every blueside AT and EAT to 50.

Well the OP did mention that he was "Curmudgeonly" from the get go...Can't exactly expect puppies and rainbows from a self-admitted grump.

I don't really feel the need to gratz all the time myself. Though I am a generally friendly guy. I mean going from lvl 12 to 13 isn't that big a deal. If someone else gratz's I might as well or just say "me too". I do try to throw a gratz out there when someone hits the big five-oh though.

I do Like Steelclaw's list though. I may have to steal some of them for myself :-)

Don't welcome people to your team or your supergroup. In fact, don't say anything on a team unless it involves strategy. Friendly banter is pointless.

For that matter, don't post to the message board unless you have something to say that's actually of use. Oh, wait....

LOL, I got flamed for saying something like this before (see sig), so I extra-lol'd at your post. To OP, GZ buddy!

I congratulate people in a relatively timely manner but don't scarfice an attack to do it. Plus, it gets funny when a whole bunch of people do it at the same time, even if it's during a sewer run (and it's easy to do "grats x3").

Thankfully when people hit 50 you don't have to congratulate them anymore, unless they score a cool recipe! ( ' ;

Edit: I also like to cg people for /deathblow'ing a GM, AV or the main boss of a mission. *shrug* It's fun!

I guess I don't mind it at all....if anything alot of Pugs I have been in have had very little talking during missions....so the "gratz" is a way to remind me I am playing with people and not npcs...

You can focus on it and try to force it but the more you do, the more you seem to push it away. But if you're patient and hold still...maybe...just maybe...it will come to you.

But if you're really hardcore within the CoX lore, then Doctor Brainstorm invented the "Experience Bar", a device used to measure a hero's increase in power

I consider the folks who will have no OOC interaction of any kind not to be "hardcore" so much as "laughable".

Complaining about congratulating people who level. What's next, complaining about drive-by buffing?

Well, I will never say "Gratz"...

I love personalizing macros and binds...

One of my toons even has 8 different "Gratz" messages... All very distinctive to that toon... most have only one or two...

I make macros for congratulating people on leveling... for saying thank you when I level, for finishing a mission, for welcoming back after a disconnect or bio-break (but that one is always the same for all toons: Wakko, Yakko and Dot). I also do a few macros for teasing some specific people too *looks at Casa and Pepsiman*.

There is a part on this game that its social... and chatting is part of it...
