Originally was to protect peoples RWS. Basically so you couldn't cap the defuser and snag the RWS at the end of the round.

Accoding to a post by an ESEA admin you apparently you can't trust 5 strangers to behave themselves in a scrim. Somehow matchmaking manages, but I guess the special snowflakes on 3rd party clients just can't deal?

I think no-ff is stupid and breeds bad habits and it shows the few times I play mm and someone on my team stabs me in the back while running out of spawn or I burst a friendly in the head on goonmans

Violence is always the answer. No exceptions.
Speaking of goonmans, I've been trying to get into the group for a hot minute and I haven't had any luck. Chats always empty and the few goons I have on my friends list can't/won't add me to the group.

Solo-q for life. :sigh:

Edit: it'd help if I posted my profile, so here you go

The issue is if you get a legit troll, they won't care, and your RWS will still look like poo poo. Not to mention that if you get an FF kill on accident with that formula you'd have to lose more than 45 points on the round, which effectively means that you will need 5 kills in winning rounds to make up for it.

The cries of the dead are terrible indeed; you should try not to hear them.
The only way I would accept FF being on with Faceit or ESEA would be if it had a hard limit that kicked and banned people who team attacked. Both sites are like, super permissive of griefing. There's really no punishment for it, outside an admin handed down ban or negative karma. And you can continue to play even with negative karma, which is pretty hard to actually achieve without being literally hitler.

Yeah you get garbage day'd at -100 for only 1 month.

No FF in esea is absolutely the better choice.

I jumped into missions at non-peak hours when hopefully I could get into a nearly-empty server so I could do the scout and famas/galil missions on Tulip. Was able to get them done nice and quick thanks to bots and helped a few people get some missions done by telling the rest of the bots to standby while I fed the guy on the other team kills one by one.

Casual matches are so ridiculously depressing it's unreal. If it was unranked 5v5 then it would at least tolerable, but no we have to play this worthless game mode purely as a formality for getting the gold coin.

I caught this little nugget of wisdom before I muted comms earlier. "Casual is so much competitive than MM"

I nearly got vote kicked because I typed out "hey guys, remember, voice_enable 0" :allears:

voice_enable is old news, cl_mute_all_but_friends_and_party is the best new command introduced. It only works in non-competitive too so you don't have to remember to disable it.

Had an interesting night in casual trying to farm for a fake gold coin.

First server 2/3 hackers I assume. Becuase they kept posting in chat where to buy hacks and had the 'clan tag' as the same website. Bought Negevs and just started shooting me as soon as the round started. 1 would shoot he'd start to reload and the other would shoot. This means you can't move. Okay gently caress this poo poo. Disconnect. Try again. Oh guess what same server.

Was working on the use an enemy's gun and get X kills. Was in a map with 3 other people 2v2 + bots is awesome to get this going. Had gotten about 10 kills for the mission. It's close to finishing the game. Kill 4 people, can't find the last guy/ want to save the rifle to continue on my mission/ fail to plant. Guy vote kicks me after round finish. What a cock sucker.

I had some people do this to me a week or so ago when I was on the mission to get 5 bomb plants/defuses in stupid demolition mode. I had 3 or 4 in that match and had finished the requirement but then it didn't count thanks to the idiots on my team. Really love how mission progress doesn't count unless you finish the match. They were even nice enough to kick me on what would have been the final round if we won so as to maximize my wasted time.
