Soft culture thread. Not rules rewrite. How do we keep pubs useful without sounding like a drill sergeant?

Call the strats. Mute the mic spam.

Short callouts. "Medic plant left" beats a novel. And for the love of everything, stand still when you ask for a rez.

I used to spam "help" from the middle of nowhere. Someone finally said "direction or I cannot find you". Changed everything.

I'm only toxic when I'm losing. So... often.

As a newer rifle: people have been patient when I ask smoke names. That patience is why I stayed.

Plant engies need one person who listens. Not ten people freestyling nades into the smoke window.

Correcting is fine. Mocking is not. If someone is learning, give them the name once and move on.

One shot. Then reposition. Always.

I will still call out freestyle knife rounds in voice. Softly. Then not so softly if it continues.

K/D is a lifestyle, not a statistic.

Trials watch pubs before they apply. How we talk is half the product.

I live on et-1. If voice gets toxic I mute and report. Board process exists for a reason.

totalfps - ET / smokes
Utility first.
