I don’t expect killers to let all survivors go, or meme around, or farm, but can we all at least just play the goddamn game?

There is no reason at all to camp and tunnel out two survivors at 4 gens then slug the last two in general, but when there’s five tiramisus? You’re not even getting many points for brutality or chasing if you have no gens to kick and players are just bleeding out on the ground ffs. If you just played competitively but normally you could likely still get a 4K, and/or get more points than playing the asshole way.

It is a game, yes, and that means you don’t owe the other side anything. Play the game, play to win.

But at the same time, it is a game. It doesn’t have to be THAT serious that it warrants you sweating so much so early.

And the people who do it because the fun of the game for them comes not from the challenge or objectives of the game but instead comes from doing whatever you can to be a dick to other people? I say this sincerely, that is really sad. You know most people don’t derive their main source of pleasure from hurting/harassing/annoying other people, right? Like, you know that is not a thing that people who are okay do?

And survivors also don’t need to go out of their way to be as rude as fucking possible, in and outside of events. Like, chill out for a second. Lots of killers are choosing to be casual in the early days of the event, you’re not necessarily actually outplaying them, and even if you were, your “achievement” doesn’t warrant endless teabagging, literally hundreds/thousands of other people are escaping this game every single day lmao, you’re not a superstar.

Just play the game. If you want to be chill about it and have fun celebrating the event then you do you, but it’s obviously okay not to. But can we at least just all just play the game we’re celebrating the anniversary of as it was intended to be played?

    Yeah I’ve been lucky that I’m mostly seeing balanced or even just friendly matches, but the ones that aren’t are so above and beyond just regular overly sweaty playing and it’s honestly so cringey to me lol.

    Some people are so determined to make others have a bad time that they’ll ruin their own points. And I know BPs can be pretty unimportant for a lot of players who don’t have a lot of characters they’re trying to level up or whatever, but still!

    I tried to be a friendly Spirit yesterday and had everyone hooked once at five gens and then just ran around in haunting mode to collect some deviousness points. Made a point to hit healthy survivors then not chase them, downed a couple and let them wiggle out, etc. eventually stopped even kicking gens because they were having such a hard time getting them done and I was running oppression. Then those little fucks had the audacity to teabag at the gate and do the “ez” messages post game lmao. Some people are just sad.
