poo poo. Weird page snype. It's been a few months since I've played and all of the stickers I "invested" in have plummeted in price. What the gently caress gives?! Childrens aren't buying stupid poo poo en masse anymore?! Tevery Best posted:So my friends are in the low point of the Counter-Strike cycle. Their form is poor, they can't get the kills. I used to be able to at least keep the game competitive, because I was at the peak, but as of late my ISP started really making GBS threads the bed and I keep getting 50%+ packet loss spikes. Everyone on the team is salty as hell and angry. If you call the company a bunch of times you honestly might be able to convince them to lay more cable for people in the community. Unfortunately for you that'll probably mean a couple of hours on the phone just hoping you get connected to the right person. Otherwise you can just send a lot of emails (and convince your neighbors to) to their customer service email requesting it. The ISP hardware on our block was upgraded (from poo poo tier) because a lot of us kept calling and complaining. fennesz fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Jul 27, 2016 |

"no one man [could] have all that power" - me pulling some ghandi poo poo isn't gonna keep every kid and adult child from hurling insults and getting upset with you. love the idealistic angle, but in practice there is no way you are gonna even a sizable minority of the playerbase from being lovely because of the anonymity of the internet and the nature of the game. the real truth is that there will most likely be someone on your team (if you don't 5 stack) that will actively attempt to upset you for any reason: for funsie or because he/she thinks your just bad or you slighted them in some unbeknownst way or they just felt like it. instead of waiting for the whole world to change, maybe limit your parameters to "4 other people who don't actively sabatoge the game for schadefreude fun that i can play with" just my 2centz i wish you luck on changing the whole of the counter-strike community through example.

Also, my post was apparently missing some words because I was typing fast while at work or something. People say CSGO/MOBA/NotTheOneTrueFPS community is the worst, they are all equally bad, accept it and move on.

I don't play comp usually but a friend was in a room and invited me to a game a month or so ago, it was with three young kids or whatever but they would joke around and were pretty cool even when I flicked and unleashed my mad P250 headshot skills on their dome accidentally for a sweet TK, oops. I played two games and we won both games, though I did see people on the other team get voted off or whatever. Some people just can't handle losing like, at all, I guess.

Smithereens posted:"no one man [could] have all that power" - me First of all: Telling people who are being assholes that they are being assholes and should not be assholes is not "Some ghandi poo poo". Secondly: gently caress you. gently caress you and your bullshit, lazy, selfish, justifying-inaction rear end. "It's hard and I don't see immediate results" is a bullshit excuse. Are you going to fix the entire counter-strike community? No. But "love the idealistic angle, but then don't do poo poo" is a cop-out of the highest order no matter what circumstances it's used in. Obviously the counter-strike (or any) community is never going to change if everybody shrugs and goes "oh well it's never going to change". I have maybe a 40-60% success rate on getting people in my game to stop being shits in my game if I bring it up in the right way, and continue bringing it up for multiple rounds. Am I fixing CS:GO for everybody? No. Am I making it more likely these people will not be shits in future games? Some of them, likely yes, some of them, probably it has a small amount of influence, and might make them stop easier next time, by indicating that people will call them on it and not put up with their poo poo, and some of them, probably no. Does it help me, personally, have a better game because they have stopped being shits in my game? Yes. ur 2centz are dumb i wish you luck wallowing in your poo poo-filled pool that you are too lazy to tell the next person squatting down is not a toilet. surc fucked around with this message at 14:07 on Jul 27, 2016 |

I made that post pre-coffee, and on review I was overly hostile in conveying my point; apologies to smithereens who is also not thrilled about the community being poo poo. The point is still solid though, that's a bullshit excuse and a cop-out.

I only start loving with my teammates if they're toxic people and yanking their chain is more entertaining than muting them. I'll usually try to get everyone to chill but some people just bring it on themselves. my favorite kind of guy is the guy that won't stop being angry no matter what happens.

I'll usually try to get everyone to chill but some people just bring it on themselves. Just yesterday I had a team tilt after the first half and we were down 10-5 after ct side cache. Told them to chill out and we won 9 rounds to start off t side and they were still mad at each other Some people just can't be happy The worst are people who start throwing when they alone are doing lovely. Three kills in 10 rounds? Better buy an ump and rush every round as a ct!

You know those wacky americans who think having guns protects them from government tyranny but everyone has a good laugh at them thinking they could fight off a professional army. Trying to get the community to be nice is kind of a fantasy similar level of uphill struggle. PvP is just a zero sum game and you, you loving noob are why they aren't getting their share of the pie cyka bylat. Negativity is the default setting. I find the best thing to do is be nice and give positive reinforcement when I can but I can't make them not have psyhotic outbreaks so I just start muting people when nice doesn't work. Game is stressful enough without some reet howling in fury in my ear.

What usually works for me: start following around the toxic people until they TK you enough times to get banned Works like 90% of the time even if they know what you're doing and say they aren't going to TK you. It still inevitably happens

Up Circle posted:maybe the people in your games are having moments like this where they haven't had coffee yet and they are grumpy and whiny This is a possibility, and I am pretty much always willing to give people another chance if they are apologetic for doing something annoying, or being overly aggro. This is why I made the comment about "bringing it up in the right way". If somebody is frustrated by another player making bad decisions and starts getting too mad, you should probably do a more gentle "chill out." If somebody keeps giving you bad calls when they're dead, ask them to be quiet because you are easily distracted by voice. (Or disable voice/turn down voice scale). If somebody is spamming bullshit/bigotry/memes, tell them it is not cool and funny, and that it in fact makes them look like an rear end in a top hat. Ideally you do this without raging at them about it (which I did not do well in my post), to not provide them with the feedback/attention they are after if they are trolling/being offensive, or to not put them on the defensive if they are getting frustrated or making bad calls.  These don't always work but as general guidelines I find them to result with people changing behavior a noticeable amount. Taking the "you will never win so don't try" stance is still bad and wrong, and an attempt at justifying why it's okay to not put in effort to improve the community. It's an understandable position when you feel helpless against or defeated by the toxicity, but it is still bad and wrong.

Whenever some edgy kid calls me a human being, I just hit him with the truth. Something like this: There are waaaay worse things than being gay. Like being him. I couldn't imagine being a terrible, garbage, ignorant person who will contribute nothing to the world, be a disappointment to my parents, family, and society in general. Yeah, I'd rather have sex with people I find attractive. That's just horrible. Generally they'll just shut up or rage tilt.
