I got called tryhard because some dicks were trolling by driving the boat in circles until we randomly stopped so Jason could kill me. :smith:

In my experience, people only call you a tryhard if you beat them. Up until that moment, they tell you that you're just a bitch who can't catch them and is poo poo at the game.

Their whole analysis is based on this incredibly stupid idea that the best way to win at this game is to play the long game and hope to survive.

This is what's resulted in so many drat pubbies all playing AJ constantly now and just crouching in the woods on the farthest edge of the map.

the whole point of this game imo is that it's impossible to optimize or metagame and sometimes you just get hosed. lately all i've been playing is super competitive stuff like PUBG and overwatch so it's nice to play a game that isn't super frustrating where winning doesn't matter. kinda crazy that people are spreadsheeting it up

Yeah I really, really don't get trying to min/max up a silly thing like this. Like it's one thing to be like "This setup of perks is pretty goofy/good" but it's another to go max :spergin: on it.

Also god I hope someone got my beartrap blunder from a minute ago.

I play Deb exclusively. She's not fast but good enough to get cabin to cabin. Also the non-running Jason's I can usually piss off by circling the car and putting the battery/gas in while they chase me.

Yeah I started doing that myself for the fun of it. You never know what you'll get! Maybe you'll be Deb next to the boat, gas, and propeller within walking distance, maybe you'll be AJ next to the phone box alone unarmed and can't find anything to save your rear end. gently caress yeah!

It's not actually super far off, strength really only seems to matter for jason killing. Adam still is far better at fixing poo poo than Chad us but for uncoordinated play there's a strong argument to be made for Chad over everyone.

Regardless of what happened with that guy they banned the situation pretty much blew up in their faces. The official subreddit and recent Steam reviews reviews are all incredibly negative now. They either need a community manager or learn not to get involved in this stuff.

The ~big name youtuber~ and also transphobic rear end in a top hat sidalpha or whatever did a video on it as well, take a guess. I legitimately do not know how people are able to pull hard enough mental gymnastics to be on the side of the guy who first lied about why they were banned, then once any pressure came on let loose that oh yeah I forgot also there was some slurs in there. "B-b-but abuse of power" and "muh free speech" is all I've seen in pushback because oh no, an rear end in a top hat got banned for saying bigoted things. Oh yeah and a bunch of redditors being mad that one of the people they went off on was 12.

I love how Reddit's taken a story about "devs ban some guy for harassing a twelve year old" and blew it into some kind of mass conspiracy where the 12 year old was a plant by the devs to entrap people and infringe on their free speech.

The whole subreddit looks like a truther blog, complete with yelling "LOOK AT THE FACTS" without any facts when asked to back up their claim, and demanding personal information about the devs and claiming the conspiracy must be true because the devs don't want to give info to some lunatic on the internet

I love how it's some big conspiracy that they won't post evidence, when virtually any other developer on the planet would also be telling you "lol gently caress off" to demanding info that could identify other players, especially ones for whom a giant lynch mob has formed.

I think I'm playing Chad wrong. Twice today I dealt with Jason while everyone else got out in a car, eventually dying for my troubles.

Also holy poo poo Dinictus got picked as Jason SEVEN times tonight. I ended up having to use a list randomizer without him on it to pick Jason towards the end because the game really wanted Din to be Jason.

And when it wasn't him it kept giving it to me, the game really wanted the juicy Jason gang in town tonight.

I don't think most developers should be concerned with Reddit getting pissy about them banning a crazy rear end in a top hat.

She growls as she storms the stadium
A villain mean and rough
And the cops all shake and quiver and quake
as she stabs them with her cuffs
I saw a Chad intentionally shoot Bugzy when he climbed through a window and claimed over mic that he was trying to rob him. He then went on the entire match saying he wouldn't be arrested because his father owned this lake and that he was rich and white.

I've been around long enough to know that you can find people to defend literally ANYTHING, but even I'm kind of surprised that a dude getting banned for hurling homophobic slurs at a child has managed to rile these people up to this degree. Of all the things in the world to get upset about, this is one of the smallest and most petty I've seen. I feel like this is more of a sign of some pent up angst coming from a maladjusted subset of gamers rather than an legitimate reaction to one rear end in a top hat eating a well deserved ban. Or maybe this is just petty revenge from people that got banned or are afraid of getting banned after paying $40.

I can derive enjoyment from most of the whining, but the posts that posit legal theories on how Gun's actions are illegal just drive me into a rage.
