Why do they do it? It's not very nice and it's completely counterproductive to the aim of the game. Is it because they are drama whores? Or just plain silly?
Aye. When a person negs, it generally results in people in the game accusing people of negging and getting really worked up about it. I call people who get a kick out of seeing that 'Drama Whores', so they intentionally neg to get a reaction.
i think negging is a game strategy. i believe if you neg correctly and not all over the place then it can put a target on someone elses back and off your. the only down side to negging is that it messes you up with the algo but other than that if you do it properly then its useful
