MessiaH's Guide to Effective Communication & Strategy

[empske]

yeah I hate waring and a caller gets abused, makes me feel bad

On another note salad is absolutely useless on LAN and is only good for making jokes at

[centurion]

There are a few providers of vent channels the best of which being the Tomato Family and Reality Gaming. Both will generally be happy to set up a channel for you so find them on #tomatofamily #reality-gaming or #gotgames on irc.gamesurge.

as joel told me after deleting our channel, the tomato family will only now set up channels teams in the top tier. If you did have a channel and your random, its been deleted.

When i saw "Messiah's Guide to Effectiv..." I thought it was gonna finish with "Effective Pubic Region Trimming/Shaving" haha

This is better though.

[MessiaH]

Hahaha Maybe that will be my next guide Too funny.

[chX]

Very nice guide MessiaH. Good read and will help a lot.

Judging by that scrim we had last night I need to teach a few of our members the concept of "shut up and play, you tools"

[Requitas]

Very good read MessiaH, well done.

It's a very hard thing to do. I am known to rage on occasion /end understatement of century

I also rage sometimes (hell, most people do), but that doesn't mean you need to start flaming and bantering with the opposition telling them they are bull**** and the like.

Not only is it annoying for the people who just want to play out the game, but it can give your entire clan a bad reputation for just one or two people being morons.

Awesome messiah.


Adding to what shotty said, usually the caller is the only one in the team who is good enough at it/only one who wants to do it - SO - Players should LISTEN to what calls are made. I couldnt count the number of failed rounds i have played in cos only 1 player hasnt listened/rambo'ed on the call (dale wdup man).

Pretty much.

Great Work MessiaH, front page'd!

[veRizmo]

Good article, it will definately help some new players improve their comms. The hardest thing about communicating is trying to take control of the round when your caller is dead, and after slutting with plenty of decents, I often see good players in a 2/3v5 situation, with no caller, just staying silent and dieing off 1 by 1. So yeh my tip would be to make sure you're confident with co-ordinating your team mates once your caller's dead.

[wzy]

great read man!
cant wait for the more advanced strats
good job!

[chem is the best part 5]

As stupid as this topic is, its surprising how many people actually need to read it. IMO, it should come naturally. Once its habit, you're all set. I find myself holding down my vent key in pugs.. without vent open, beginning to call, and then I realise ..

But still, nice work Messiah. I would've worded a few things differently, but its mostly good. The flash thing I didn't agree on.. that being, I randomly throw flashes for distractions while running different directions to which it was thrown. If I think someone could be there, I randomly do it to throw them off, which means I'm not "near by", rather, just distracting (which, I guess is just an anti-strat against whoever gets flashed).

But still, nice work.

[Hectic]

wd with this article. the strats are told in full detail and the little bits that ppl miss are stated. wd +rep

[watermelon]

gg-o players shouldn't be writing these guides.

[shirasE_]

I breezed through it. Reading it all but not exactly reading every detail if you know what I mean. And I thought it was pretty good. Will help newer players and teams with their teamwork and playing competitively.

[fluke]

Well, i stopped reading after 3.0

[Blake]

gg-o players shouldn't be writing these guides.

Some GG-P players should be taking note of how to appropriately use communication.

gg-o players shouldn't be writing these guides.

That's nice, no one cares what you think.

[Mittens]

Good read. Relevant to my interests, being captain of a new team and all.

[MessiaH]

Glad you liked it Mittens.

In a fortnight I will make myself available as part of the GotGames bootcamp team to help out new teams. PM me on IRC then if interested.
