In fact I find that I am seldom on the end of any hassle via chat any more, and do you know what I have noticed in the blessed silence?
Jerks or sore losers hassling the next bunch of new pilots relentlessly, most often their own team mates! I got to tell you this does not help anyone, and it inevitably brings the game vibe down and chases pilots off. Besides, you should be happy with new pilots like I am, who else can I kill?
All jokes aside, this is pointless and crappy behavior, and frankly the MWO community is better then that.
So I am here to invite you to Jonny's Speaking Dead challenge:
-If you buy it and you are spectating don't say anything negative to the pilots still playing... but wait that is not the hard part!
-Instead, bite you tongue (or fingers) and wait until they do something good, and then compliment them on it. encourage them!
-And if there is some uber-pilot from hell racking up the kills? Tell them what a badass round they are having.
-And finally, the real challenge? keep it up for three days, that's it, not forever, just do your best to meet the challenge for just three days.
So, can you encourage noobs, praise killers, and keep the trash out for three days? Will you take the challenge? Dare you?
Even if you don't ever post in chat, take three days to hand out some friendly praise and advice, I promise if you really make a effort to do it at least once every 5 or 6 matches, it will result in a smile on your face, and you will start looking for people to give props to. It will improve your playing experience!
Don't believe me? well take up the challenge and see if I am wrong, I really hope you all will!
Jonny
