Team killing is a bannable action the creator chooses to leave enabled. Sound like a dumb move why not change the friendly fire off if friendly fire is so triggering in the kill people game.

Because the risk of killing a teammate unintentionally is something he wants in the game? It's not hard to understand.

It seems pretty clear what type of teamkilling will get you banned. Let's not pretend that context doesn't exist.

They were having a kool kidz streamer party and shot/looted the 4th guy when they found a 3-seater bike.

It does seem staged because of the timing, but oh lord if that's real that's hilarious

Also stop being overboard about this, there's video evidence of him team killing someone deliberately. I doubt unless you have an absurdly high team kill stat or someone captures you intentionally team killing them you'll get banned.

Trite, contrived, mediocre, milquetoast, amateurish, infantile, cliche-and-gonorrhea-ridden paean to conformism, eye-fucked me, affront to humanity, war crime, should *literally* be tried for war crimes, talentless fuckfest, pedantic, listless, savagely boring, just one repulsive laugh after another
I like hearing the streamer drama. A lot of the game's popularity is tied up in it, and seeing the weird fuckups that come from people trying to get ahead in a really bizarre industry is funny. Also, it's a good way to just hear about some really trash people doing stupid things. Just amazingly garbage people out there streaming.

The best part is PLAYERUNKNOWN getting butthurt by his tweet because he was actually kicked in the chest once by his room mate.

"When I was in college, many years ago, I had a disagreement with my flat mate. Instead of talking it out like men, he decided to get aggressive and while I was backing away from him, he kicked me in the chest and put my head through a plate glass door. Thankfully, I don’t suffer from any ill effects due to this experience. "

Laffo. Talking it out like men. Yes, that's definitely the expression.

This game owes more of its popularity to streamers than any other game I can think of. Obviously it's a fun game that's ludicrously addictive in its own right, but it took the #3 spot on twitch really quickly and I'm p sure there's been almost zero conventional marketing budget for it otherwise.

I actually saw the full game it happened in. It was a legit random pubbie. They all dropped school, and cleared it. About the time they were finished the pubbie went into a corner, jumped a few times, then stood still for a bit. No idea if he communicated anything because all three of them had the ingame voice chat off, and were on a discord. DrDisrespect was annoyed with him then, but they moved on to apartments, flushed out a squad, and were getting ready to move because of the circle. They found the motorcycle, Grimmz and Anthony got on, and the pubbie got on with them. Then they got off, and the pubbie got off. DrDisrespect aimed down sights at the pubbie's head for a good 10-15 seconds straight, none of them ever tried to communicate with him, and then he just flat out killed him later saying "Ok I'm done, he was just wasting our time".

Honestly, doing it was a really lovely thing to do. If high profile people are doing this without repurcussion, I guarantee you'll see a toxic influx of shits who are recording some "hilarious" video for their youtube channel that gets 20 views where being funny means screaming really loud about poo poo like "AAAAHHHHHHHHH MY CAR FLIPPED AAHHHH IM LIKE THE FIRST PERSON THIS HAS EVER HAPPENED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

BADGES? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' BADGES!
I think banning the top streamer in your game mid-game, then following that up with a twitter meltdown is pretty bad PR. I get that he doesn't want people to TK, and he wants the rules to apply to everyone, but perhaps a DM with a warning would have worked better in this case. Or just, you know, not having that meltdown on twitter afterwards.

well there is their first mistake. leaving auto matching on. Grimmz and Dr are big enough that they can both ring some extra cash out of their subs to be the 4th pubby. why the hell are they playing with randoms and not even communicating with them?

i request the ban be reinstated.

what are you talking about it was awesome, that twitlonger was clearly from someone who had unsolved issues with their college roommate and nothing to do with dr.

but that said the devs have been pretty awesome in this game so far and poopiequeen is really cool, she never misses my DMs and sometimes just chats about bullshit with me (and super kewl secrets about upcoming features!)

Correct. If you're spread out where you're north of the enemy while your teammate is east of them they aren't going to be at 275 for you. However, it does always give you at least some idea of where they are if you know where your teammates are and it gets better when it's followed by additional information like "next to the guard tower". Use clock positions in a vehicle since everyone should be able to figure that one out pretty quickly. If you're moving on foot in a group in the same direction something like "contact left" followed by additional information will also work fine.

Temp banning some shitlord streamer was the 100% correct thing to do so you don't end up with a bunch of his shitlord followers doing the same thing.

it's pretty drat accurate most of the time. i'd go as far to say that it's 100x more accurate than screaming, "hey guy at the blue house running to the left" (in a sea of blue houses of course).

In a Duo where you're likely very close to each other, sure it's generally accurate. In a squad game, it can be wildly off. Anyway, your original assertion was that they were the same for everyone, which isn't true at all.

I need something stronger.

In my regular squad group we generally restart if we lose someone before the first circle. Our rule, though, is that the last person standing gets to pick the next game's drop, so if any of us are still alive we have to kill each other to be picker. The risk of ban might put a damper on this fun, though.

it's not particularly difficult to extrapolate what someone's directions mean if you're aware of where they are, but generally something like 'two enemies at 85, by the rock' is way more useful than either one independently.

i'm going to assume a; the people you're teamkilling aren't going to complain and b; your teamkilling isn't visible to 20,000 people, so i think you and your collection of friends are safe to mow each other down, but 'we need to kill each other' is certainly a strange approach to 'the last person alive gets to pick the drop'.

I'd assume some wet blanket in Grimmmz's chat reported the instance or someone at PUBG was watching it happen.

If they start banning people for the stupid shenanigans teams get up to when death is inevitable/someone dies early (which most big streamers take part in) they'll take a big hit.

Doc rules, PU drools. Find a new game with more VIOLENCE SPEED MOMENTUM and take your 20-30k viewers elsewhere for a while.
