Flying Angry
macmacnick:
Trolls getting on your nerves, already warned them, yet there're no mods around? Bring a munker. Kill them with mines. It's satisfying as hell, especially when you and the enemies team up, and collectively attack a them, you with mines, the opposite team with their weaponry. For me, that's how I enforce discipline. Works great when it is done correctly. However, Those assholes, insensitive little bastards who are all like "Heil hitler" or some form of anti-jewish crap pisses me off to the fullest extent, the only way trolls get under my skin. If it's in chat, I roast them. If its in a match, I roast them, skin them alive, and then serve them as part of a five-course meal of examples of what not to do. I'm Jewish. Ethnic Jewish. You try to fuck with me and shit relating to my ethnicity and you'll actually see me lose it. I never lose my cool except in those kinds of situations, and my fury cannot be simply held back. It consumes all, boiling them in a sea of rage. For that, I bring in the all mine, all gunner munker firing squad, armed with lochnagar, incendiary, and charged. They get hell, which is what that sort of action deserves. I'm not lenient when it comes to dishing out that kind of mania.

being no affiliate of any major clan, I commonly suffer the joys of the lucky dip that is joining games solo.
I teach with sarcasm and I prepare for the worst case scenario (I've mastered flying with no skills on since novice level- its how ur meant to learn), I rant and rave and demand and judge every single action anyone not major lvled makes. (because by lvl 25+ you've been drilled to hell on the bare minimum on what's expected)
People under the pressure get better, learn faster, or ragequit by which point lol, I'm leader of Clan AI. If anyone can win with AI it's me.
And if some guy out of everyone on the ship is clearly saying all the right things and your noob captain is doing all the wrong things. They're going to listen to the dude that knows both wtf he's doing and wtf everyone else should be doing. Even if the guy is being a douche.

I suppose the best example of flying angry is LeonXross.
When you are doing right things as you were said, he'll be calm. You know you are doing really good if your name is not mentioned in sentences like "X, why are you not on balloon?"; if such thing happens, God have mercy upon you if you are not half way to mentioned position. If you'd go from predestined position when not asked, he'll get to want have your head smashed on the wall, because he can't do this literally - you'll get yelled immedietely. What might be surprising - this is still just one final warning, when Leon is just on the brink of pure hatred towards you. Harsh? Meh.
On the other hand, when not absolutely livid, he teaches people aboard, tells them ropes, and he do this very patiently and kindly. The highest reward are two things - not being yelled at and victory, cause Leon is really a decent pilot, with insane loadout ideas and one of the best ninja-tactic skills I've ever seen (FFS - sneaking up with that fat-ass cow of galleon, completely unnoticed right behind you - that was traumatic).

If you are trying to introduce "Lucky Dip" into the comunity lexicon you may want to define it in this thread:

As for cajoling new players into following orders I find nothing beats emotional black mail. I was taught the art by the best in the world, my Mother. Every time I make a novice engineer or gunner feel lower than dirt for failing the ship in some manner, I am channeling her.
"If you had brought the ammunition I requested, we would have stripped his hull armor by now."
"A competent gunner could have killed him five times already, so it begs the question why is he still alive?"
"They are out tanking us because somebody had to bring along his stupid little buff hammer, I hope you are proud of yourself."
"We were counting on you to be at your position, what were you doing over there?"
"How could you miss at this range?"
"Because of your incompetence we die here."
"You have failed the team, you have failed your crew mates, and worst of all you have failed ME!"

Pardon my insolence, my kind sir, but yer mother knows nothing about these arcanes of emotional terrorism comparing to mine. And honestly, I'm ultimately joyful, that I moved out of her this october, so I can avoid that.
