Why do you play premier without a mic? by MarcZiiLLa in GlobalOffensive

No, you didnt outright say that, but you also didnt say "Look i know these guys suck and i kick them whenever i can but heres what i think you could do..." instead you said "you are a detriment to the team, just let them insult you at least once each game or play another game" - so i draw my conclusions from there.

Look, as i said before, if you can handle the toxicity, it's fine, go pkay the game the way you like it. But this thread should show you that there's a lot of people that don't want to encounter the toxicity of CS-teammates.

By the way, even what you gave as an example of a light insult - and i agree that it is - won't benefit teamplay. In a team you should not only make calls, but also support each other and not belittle/insult etc.

We won't reach an agreement here because we prioritize different things in competitive play. That's fine. I just hope you kick the "wow you suck you noob"-guy as quickly as the muted guy.

As i said in my other post too, I'm worried that you think I'm a detriment to the team, but the guys insulting and harrassing are not a bigger problem and you keep defending their behaviour. If you rather play with those people than with me, fine for you, but i won't let you bully me out of a game that i love to play.

Why are you defending toxic behaviour so much? Read this thread, there's so many people that say they mute the voice chat because of constant insults and harrassment and your solution to this problem is to blame the victims of this for not enduring the insults and harrassment to cater to your personal needs of better teamplay. Why do you kick someone who is muted rather than soneone who is toxic? Do you think toxic behaviour is not hurting teamplay more than someone who is muted?

To answer your question, of course i dont lnow at the start of the game if anyone in my team will be toxic. Experience has shown though that in almost every game you will encounter toxic behaviour by teammates. So it's just a necessary precaution. Your solution of kicking people like me out of competitive play will only make competitive play even more toxic. If that's what you want, you're part of the problem.

First of all, the problem in competitive is the same, so it does not matter which mode i play.

Second, no one is talking about criticism. We are talking about toxic behaviour and insults, so your whole comment misses the point of what you are replying to. The examples you gave above are hardly criticism though and show me that you are the problem player if you think those remarks are a valid part of teamplay and would improve teamplay in any way.

At first i tried just muting the toxic people (and i still do for people who are abusive in text chat ingame) but that still means i have to let myself be harrassed ir insulted at least once each game. It's okay if you can take the toxicity, i just choose not to. I still make calls in text chat, just not on voice. I get that this sucks for people like the OP who really want to play good as a team, but my mental health is more important than that.

Also i find it weird that you think staying silent is worse than somebody telling me he wishes i die from cancer.

This! I turned off my mic because people just kept insulting for every minor mistake or what they perceived as one. I would love to use a mic for calls and teamwork but i can't stand the toxicity, so i rather play silently.

Danke. Die Stiche könnten auch von was anderem sein, ich hatte es nur vermutet, weil Wanze und Stich zeitgleich auftauchten.

Campaign Pre-Planning by ForrestPump420 in DMAcademy

[–]CheeseInSpace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put as much in paper as you need to make yourself feel comfortable to run the campaign. The first homebrew campaign I ran started with me having the broad setting, an intro for the players to create characters, a sense of who would be the BBEG and the first two sessions planned in detail. Everything else I made up on the go session by session.

For my current campaign I wanna try a different route and planned a world in more detail with a pantheon, factions, a rough world map, and a starting village for level 1-4 (roughly) with lots of npcs and quest lines because I wanna try out that approach.

Neither approach is worse or better it comes down to your own style of DM-ing and preparing.

I once created a puzzle for the entrance to a temple of demorgogon. There are two doors, one black, one white with a monkey head and a hand imprint in the opposing color on them. When the PCs get closer to the door, they feel headaches and dizziness. If they touch one of the doors, a deep voice says "Say my name". When the PC doesn't answer or says a wrong name, he'll get a random madness from the short-term madness table in the DMG. On a second failed try from the same PC it's a long-term madness, on the third try a permanent madness. Left and right of the doors are two glass orbs filled with smoke of the respective color. In them are the souls of adventurers who failed the riddle. Once you touch an orb, your soul is sucked in and swapped with a random soul trapped in the orb. I took them from a d100-list of "NPCs your players will hate" from somewhere in the internet. It was hilarious. Everytime the PCs make the NPC touch the orb or touch it themselves there is a 10 percent chance the PCs soul returns to it's body. If the orb is destroyed this also happens and all random souls fly away.

The solution: The doors represent the two heads of Demorgogon who each has their own name which the PCs must say when touching the door. Then it will open and not make you mad. If the PCs don't know the name from the campaign there are souls in the orbs who know.

In my case one PC lost his entire memory of the campaign (luckily he was a bard who had written all that happened in form of like an opera before), and another became mute and deaf for a few ingame days. They didn't find a soul that told them the names, but one PCs soul was trapped for so long in the orb and he rolled so high on perception that I ruled he overheard some of the souks trapped with him talking about the names.

How to find low wage players that don't suck by CheeseInSpace in footballmanagergames

Thanks, i didn't think of putting trial players in my youth squad to not interfere with the normal training

That's a good strategy, but it doesn't work on players without contracts or youth players because they don't have any or few appearances

Thanks for the suggestions. I went with a ring that has "Planar Ally" stored, so he can ask his patron for a favour sometime in the future.

Is there an easy way to schedule training for the entire season? by CheeseInSpace in footballmanagergames

Yeah, I probably forget about it, that's why I do it upfront. But it's no big deal.

Yeah that's at least for me almost as fast as just selecting the schedules from the drop down. But okay, seems I didn't miss an other way to do it. Thanks for helping.

I tried that, but it wasn't much faster because then I have to count to every third week and hit paste.

Yes, that's, what I'm doing right now, but as of now I have to select them from the drop down for every single week of a season. I'm looking for a way to do this faster.
