ehhhhh, I think that’s falling into your ownmind trap, but is it possible and something town players do? Yes, not good ones, but yes I do see it with certain types of players.
I do get emotionally invested into the game after spending a lot of mental energy collaborating with others, but I’m not playing to be recognized, and I don’t take it personally as long as it’s within the bounds of game. If it ventures outside of the bounds of the game, I’ll just choose to stop interaction there, but it’s more for mental health, not for ego.
So you’re saying that because I am pointing out flawed behavior in others, it must mean that I view myself as superior, and I’m doing this based on ego. I think that’s an interesting take
I don’t know, maybe there is some truth to this. I don’t think I’m really better than anyone else here, but I do know that I don’t like certain types of play. I admit I sometimes fall into certain types of play I don’t like, and for that I can be a hypocrite. I would accept someone telling me when I’m doing such a thing tbh.
Would you like me to not call out ego tunnel players?
I have though, haven’t I?
This is an aceptable take, it’s not right, but I accept it
I think you’re doing this out of spite, but if yo actually believe it, I will accept it tbh
It’s part of the game, just be real about your takes, no need to be facetious
When we wolfed together I focused on pocketing X amount of players, playing forward player interactions, and getting players to focus in certain directions.
I am pocketing no one, am basically completely lost trying to solve people instead of pushing people towards places, and I have no idea whats happening next
Leaf, buddy, pal, my slight nightmare and friend…
Please look what post I replied to and what context the ‘this post was clearly discussed’ would link to
I don’t think you have to stop calling out ego tunnel players, but I don’t think you need to imply their reads are automatically going to be bad. Of course they can still be right but fall into a tunnel where their reasoning becomes bad, even if the original read was correct, and I do agree that’s when they (including myself) need to step back and reevaluate, or at least sort through which parts of their read are purely confbias and which was the original reason for it. But even good players with good reasoning can fall into a tunnel of confirmation bias once they feel certain they’re on the right track, and it doesn’t make them all-around bad players.
I didn’t like his early progression of pushing Gorta (not that terrible on its own) to pushing Eli for defending Gorta (opportunistic), to saying the scumteam has at least one of Gorta/Eli (either chaining them or just keeping the low-impact players in the PoE as easy MLs)
I didn’t like his reaction to Gorta voting him because it seemed extremely overblown. Maybe it’s because I’m not a fan of AtE but it just felt icky, and despite Brad saying he’s been on Gorta the entire day, I still think his crossvote onto Gorta was pure OMGUS because despite having Gorta in his PoE all day, he didn’t continue trying to push Gorta the entire time. It wasn’t like he really tried hard to convince everyone else to see why he thought Gorta was scummy.
