Flying Angry
Canon Whitecandle:
I get upset at incompetence, but otherwise I'm a pretty laid back pilot. I never insult my crew and I'm extremely supportive of them, and generally a lot of fun to fly for since when things get heated I sing and shout battle-cries and other in-character stuff. I'd say that it's more a matter of passionate flying versus 'angry' flying. I'd argue that anyone who gets angry and flustered when piloting is going to perform poorly.
As a crew member though, it pisses me off to no end when the captain tries to blame teammates or the game for a defeat. I can accept it if a crewmember makes that observation first, but if a captain starts going on a soap-box rant about how the Spire is underpowered because we just got sandwiched to splinters by a metamidion my ire will be aroused.

Yes I'm a n00b. Yes I am technically a powder monkey. But the goddamn Powder Monkeys piss me off so bad I can't even articu-

I don't get angry, I get miney. Then blocky...then miney again...then I go chase Captain Phoenix for awhile...then I get ultra miney...then happy.

Captain Phoenix always tried to avoid Clan Clan's mines, because we are "boring" to him.

My mood is very ... sporadic from day to day within GoIO. Perhaps, dare I say it... match to match. Playing with knuckleheads that don't listen to me can get on my nerves, quite a bit. I have a tendacy to get a little chatty with my crewmates, captains, or otherwise.
it's not like I /hate/ ignorance. I spend a lot of time explaining things to new players that aren't even lvl 6+ yet, things that i didn't learn until I was 500 matches deep into GoIO, still thinking that I can bring a buff hammer / pipe wrench to main deck a pyra!
It's odd, because I feel that it's a journey. You start, having no idea wtf you're doing, or how to even literally even, and over time you start to learn things, and then later on you realize "bro I was so dumb before why was I trying to argue that a spanner pairs great with pipe wrench."
Then, you wake up;
Now you realize how everything works as a unit, and if one lippy-noob doesn't bring the right tools, that's going to be GG because you just joined a match where SPQR brought another pre-made (lol) and the matchmaking system decided to drop them into a novice match. (srsly, wtf...)
Actually, nvm; it's SPQR... it's already GG and the ready checks haven't even shown up.
And that's where it begins for me. The anger. The Frustration. Frothing about behind my teeth and reaching a boil, until finally the pot overflows.
You want to fly a gat/mortar pyra? Fine. but WOULD YOU PLEASE PUT THE GATLING ON THE RIGHT SIDE FFS THIS IS THE 14TH TIME I'VE TRIED EXPLAINING THIS SUBLTE YET SUPER IMPORTANT THING TO YOU!
or, one of my personal favorites, "JUST ACCEPT THE LOADOUT! THE RANGE FINDER IS BROKEN, OBSOLETE, AND WE DON'T EVEN HAVE ANY ARCING WEAPONS. STOP BEING A REBEL WITH NO CAUSE AND L2P PL0X KTHX."
perhaps even followed by something a bit more tame but infinitely more cheeky "Bro don't worry about that one enemy that is shooting me with all 4 of it's guns while you "try to flank them around this boulder" with one of the SLOWEST F@%*ING SHIPS IN THE GAME DUDE, THAT TACTIC SOUNDS PRO AS BALLS, I BET IT'S GONNA BE THE NEW META WHEN THIS MATCH IS OVER, IMAGINE IS GONNA BE ALL OVER THAT LIVE-STREAM! #REKT"
But yah, I tend to keep it to myself a lot these days. I channel the rage and frustration through more meaningful and productive means:
Propagating my spite onto others through bullets and bloodshed.
