Smash Apprentice
This has really been bugging me today, and I needed to vent some steam, and get some suggestions on how to handle this.
<long angry rant>
So my friends (me and about 4 other people mainly) and I keep a gamecube at school in a teachers closet so we can play it during our lunch and off periods. At the beginning of the year, there were some sophomores (about 5) who wanted to play as well, so we were nice and let them play. Over time, they stopped wanting to play and we were fine with that, except that they started playing yu-gay-oh, and were loudly arguing, cursing, yelling, leaving trash in the teachers room, an generally not leaving the room like it was when they arrived. My friends and I started to get annoyed at this, so we found a different room to play in. It took them about a week to find us. Finally, one day we told them to shut up, be quieter, and pick up their trash, or leave and not come back. They decided to be quieter and things went along nicely for long time (mid november to about 2 weeks ago) . Now along the way, somehow other sophmores found out about us doing this, and also started coming. Yesterday's lunch went something like this...
*my 4 friends and I arrive in the room, set up and are playing quietly, we were in the usual room, but the teacher had a sub that day*
5 mins later, the sophmores come in and immiadtly start yelling as loud as they can things like "Dibs!" "I get wavebird" "No, I called it first!" ect.
So my friends and i look at each other and start the process of losers go out until there are either no more controllers, or people who want to play.
I was on a winning streak, and after every match there were only 3 people who actually wanted to play, so i stayed in and kept winning.
Finally, one person was like, "Fred! (not my real name) stop being a hog, so i let someone else play.
we continued switching out until the end of lunch and all went relatively smooth after that, except for the fact that there were now like 15 sophmores in the room all yelling, swearing, and spilling their lunch everywhere.
So today during lunch, out normal room had a different club meeting in it, so we went to our second usual place.
and once again, after 5 mins of playing, 15 foul-mouthed and loud sophmores walk in yelling the same things like "dibs" ect...
and after yesterday, my friends and I were fed up with it, so we said "no, you cannot play, this is OUR game cube, not yours, and we can choose if we want you to use it or not" so they said "you have to, this is at school and everything has to be fair" so we laughed and said that those days were only in elementary school.
They started to become angry (predictably) and started yelling even more trying to make us angry, which we ignored.
we told them quite clearly that we would not let them play again untill they were quieter, did not leave trash everywhere, and left the room as they found it wen they left. For some strange reason, so they became angry(er), because somehow, being quiet and cleaning up after yourself is a really new and unheard of concept
we continued to play and I started hearing whispers of a "plot" to turn off the gamecube during a match, and that whoever did it and kept doing it would get $5"
well, one person did it once.
my friends and I once again told them why we were not letting them play, adding that reason to the list, along with same reason that it was out game, and we could keep them from playing it if we wanted.
they started talking about bringing xboxes with halo 3 and not letting us play, and we were like "ok, bring your xbox 360 with halo, set it up, and say that we cannot play and see if we care, you can do that if you want to and nobody is stopping you."
So they returned to their incoherent yelling, cursing, and plotting. They kept gaining momentum and we kept ignoring untill one of them pushed another one out of his chair and against the wall where the plug was. I was watching since I was not currently playing, and the person who pushed the chair over grabbed the chair, held it up, and threatened to club the other person if he did not unplug the gamecube. I told the person to put the chair down and chill, but he kept getting angrier. Thankfully the teacher came back in (he was gone the entire time up untill now) and somehow the kid convinced him that he was joking and not serious.
my friends and I have had the last straw with these sophomores. we are going to have play smash during our off periods, cause sophomores do not have off periods, until advance wars days of ruin for the DS comes out, then we are going to wait for brawl with no gamecube during lunch. we are tired of these stupid sophomores coming in and making the two most awesome teachers in our entire school angry at us, even though we do almost everything we can to keep them from being loud and obnoxious. If they want to go and play their precious halo 3 at school, be my guest.
