At arm's length: a brave little adventurer. Under the phone camera: a man made entirely of brush mistakes.I am pleased with it anyway. Picked three colours, tr…

I use a cushion to prop my elbows up. Mostly because my arms give up before my commitment to making poor bedtime decisions does.

Could also pick something none of you knows for the next evening. Let everybody be confused together for once.

Going to ask for a walk-through and write the group names on my own copy. Glad this did not turn into “have you tried being less new”.

I am happy to prepare. I had a diagram open. The people I was with were using different names for two of the spots. That is what finally broke my brain.

Trying to learn a map with people who already know it has shown me a problem: they use callouts to explain the callouts.“Go past the thing near the other thing…

I did say it. Unfortunately my mic was muted.

I got out to help and immediately watched the vehicle leave with everyone except me. That was entirely my plan until it happened.

Reading Latch again, I was arguing against a different thing. Short context is fair. I just dislike stopping the whole squad to litigate every decision.

Could be a reason you cannot see from where you are standing, though. Not every move needs a debate first.

Mine requires a paragraph and an apology.

You are joking but the snack break has probably balanced more games than any forum thread.

Sure, one. Rook said five. There is a difference between finally getting a good round and noticing half the other team has left.

Check whether the cat has moved off the warm side of the desk. Usually the answer is no and the negotiation takes longer than the loading screen.

For this one I would stick to places you can stand in during a map. Accidental captures could absolutely be their own thread though.

Thinking of a relaxed screenshot thread: one familiar map, no HUD if you can hide it, and an angle that makes people pause before recognising it. No prizes or …

Rotate who picks. The only agreement is that everyone owns the game and we give it one short session before changing.

Not chasing someone into a fight I cannot survive. Helping them once does not mean I have to follow every questionable decision.

Yes to that last one. A short call is enough. I would rather know the plan changed than hear an explanation after the whole squad is gone.

My favourite squadmate is the person who barely says anything but somehow has supplies exactly where we regroup. No heroic scoreboard, just a much less frustra…
