I make sure I only play with friends on TeamSpeak, even though my performance suffers drastically because I spend more time talking and laughing then playing, it makes me stay calm and happy.

Do what a couple of us did on TS one day, and play the compliment game. At the beginning of the next round, you compliment the person who killed you, in a completely non-sarcastic, genuine way. Hahaha, it comes out hilarious, a couple people were getting really into it.
I know what you mean though. I'm a positive guy too, try my best to be honorable and humble even to strangers on the internet, but I told them if I had voice activation on they'd worry about me.
A large part of it is day to day stuff too. Not to blame it on the time of year, but we do tend to set the bar pretty low for ourselves and let things slide, stagnate, and build up. I notice my language has taken a serious turn for the worse, and big deal right? Our words mean stuff though, they really do.
Maybe step away, do something IRL for a couple hours that relaxes you. Realize we've all had humiliating experiences and not everyone's as big an asshole as they really act sometimes. I know I haven't played on an alt in ages, that would be fun to do to take things less seriously and play the game from a different angle. Try something new, and realize nobody looks above or below their own name on the scoreboard, and the game is full of horseshit and goofy mechanics. Its the price to pay for international multiplayer.
To sum up: Don't blame anyone but yourself for what happened to you in that game.
MILITARY DOCTRINE
RULE nr. 1 DEATH
- Whenever on battlefields you find yourself in the situation where you are close to death, it is always your fault. There is no bad luck, no overwhelming, no missing the strikes, no bad brother-in-arms There is only lack of awareness, not retreating in time , bad skill with arms and wrongly chosen position in the battlefield. You must understand, that sword, arrow or pike in your chest is always under no conditions your fault. Whenever you die, it is not only you who is dying, you take a bit of the Brigade to the grave too.

Punch your flat mates until they stop complaining.
Choke your chicken

Funny how I ask this, because in real life, I am a laid back, calm person, who hates raising his voice most of the time.
But I'm noticing that this coolness is kinda disappearing in my gaming personality. I try to be nice, or anything, but I get overloaded with all the "cheap" deaths, and stuff like that. It's ironic because this wouldn't happen a year ago or two. It's a recent thing.
(Happens at other games too, not just cRPG, sadly.)
I think of it as an illness, that needs to be cured somehow. I never was the guy who smashed keyboards, or yelled out loud of anger, and I'm not in a bad stage like that. It's just that I quickly reach for the chat, to talk bullshit I even regret about 20seconds after, and it makes me look foolish. Of course this leads to even more mistakes, that lead to even more stupid talk. It's a cycle of madness.
I'm sure people here can confirm me doing this. :lol:
What do you think, how could I get back on track again? I know how annoying this can be to others, and It's kinda shameful, and retarded to do this. Yet, I prone to do it way too often these days.
And no, I'm not drunk.
Happy player!

Problem is that I make more mistakes with a revenge-gaming attitude.
Playing around with a calm head is better for me. I'm no berserker. :mrgreen:
Re: How to stay calm during a (cRPG) gaming session?
To be honest, sometimes drugs.
drugs
also, having 5x for hours at a time, USA clan #1 top scoreboards with badplayer all day errday
DRUGS?!!??!
Drugs are bad, MKAY? Thats why i've never done them!

Didn't read thread, just opening post.
But here's a key thing to do: Enjoy every kill more than you hate every death. Try it. Enjoy every kill. Don't take them for granted or standard. I'm probably the happiest player of this game because of things like that.
Tell yourself that you're awesome every chance you get, and hell, smile. Stupid shit like that works way too well.

The only winning move is not to play.
(Like making Maganda RQ by standing in spawn and baiting him... aah, so much fun)So true, afk baiting is so awesome.
