Am I idiot or fair?

Am I the only one, when I play killer, who always kill two survivors, and let two of them escape? Most games.

Sometimes I 4k but just if they bring flashlights. Or for challenges.

    I would not say that you are an idiot, but you are pretty nice when doing so. I would not play like that tbh.

    When it's the exit gate time I let them escape, except if they twerk on my watch and want to play again..

    I'm questioning myself because I thought that killers are very rude during this quarantine!

    Not all of us are rude or mean! Playing both roles I can sympathize with survivors. Note: non toxic survivors. Toxic survivors deserve anything heading their way.

    Im KINDA the same, like if I see some BPS I do play like normal but I tend to just hook everyone twice, then slug around, letting them go in the end.

    Heck, i normally let the last person go aka whoever is alive at the end. Unless i need that bbq stack. Unless they get to the hatch first. Than gg and onto the next game.

    I don't understand why killers nowadays are camping and tunneling during all the game.

    In my mind I have to make 2 kills, 2 escape, so I play normally, I camp or tunnel just if survivors are too good and I can't have any kill at all!

    I saw so many killers camping me just because I stun them with pallets, I don't bring any flashlight or toolboxes, or whatever.

    Maybe I'm too kind for this game. I'm a killer who let some survivors escape, and I'm a survivor who don't bring any item and don't meta perk.

    To be fair, playing in a fair way is different from letting two people go. If you dont slug, dont tunnel, dont camp you are playing fair and are even playing fair when you go for the 4K (or a 3K with Hatch escape, if you dont care for that last Survivor getting away).

    Letting 2 escape is more than just "playing fair", thats why I wrote earlier it is really nice. But to be honest, I would find it strange if I get sacrificed and two others get to escape for no reason.

    I think it really depend on what happen during the game. But I know how it feels when you are always killed because of mori, noed, camping and tunneling, then, I main survivor, I don't want to be this kind of killer I just want to have fun and interact with survivors.

    You can do what you like. I usually let one go.

    Once had a game where there were three blood party steamers thrown up. I got my bbq stacks and after that. I was happy. Like i played that match super casually. For i wanted everyone to get some points, to best get use out of these blood party steamers. Since well, i didn't bring them. The survivors did and it would really suck for them, if they got jack in return for their blood party steamers. Had way more games, where it just one blood party steamers and sometimes i didn't even know one was used. Due to looking somewhere else while the offerings where being shown. In that case, well i just play the game normally. Let the dice fall where they will.

    When it comes to slugging. I heard so many people have massively different things to say on it. Some go it's evil. Some go it's fine if it a Oni due to that being Oni's play style. Some see it as legit, if done under certain things. It ok if you are dropping the survivor to go deal with the others trying to bodyblock or are destroying nearby hooks. Like it just seems to be a coin flip, if it a good thing or a bad thing, depending on who you ask. With the only time i seen people seem to agree on slugging is bad, is when it's to let all the survivors bleed out slowly.

    Neither, how you play is up to you.

    That said, just keep in mind that NO survivor would EVER return that favor. (As in, "Oh, everyone else escaped, I'll leave the exit gate and let the killer get me just to be nice.")

    But they expect hatch every time, of course.

  • Ghostwithaface
    Ghostwithaface Member Posts: 594

    Well i seen that happen a few times, survivors offering up themselves to be hooked. Just way more rarer than a killer that gives the last person the hatch. From what i seen at last.

    If it's a baby killer, I run with him until the entity throw me <3

    I play by the prolly outdated standard of everyone dies except the last person standing, who either competes in a hatch race orrrrrr, if I'm feeling sympathetic, is lovingly delivered to the hatch as long as they don't wiggle, but there are occasions when i'll let more than one escape. I definitely don't think it's weird to spare as many survivors as you prefer to. if sparing 2/4 feels fair to you, I wouldn't try to convince you it's not.

    there are many killers who rarely spare anyone at all, which I find a bit.. boring. but given they're not playing scummy I can't be mad about it.

    I want the survivors to remember me as the kind killer who let them go, but they know that I could have killed all of them.

    In the chat, it's no more "camper" "noed" etc but just kindness. And I'm more enjoying that than the toxicity we all know.

    Slugging during a match us NOT toxic. Boring but not toxic. Purposely letting people bleed is toxic. Camping is not toxic, especially against an overly altruistic team, or in a 3 gen where hook is near all 3 gens. Tunneling is more of a greyish area but there are definitely times where a killer happens upon a recently unhooked survivor accidentally. That's not tunneling.

    As an example that happens quite frequently, killer hooks someone, starts to chase someone else, loses them in the corn or because they were 2 feet away from them in sanctum of wrath. Starts towards another gen or towards the unhook notification. On the way the unhooked person decides he wants to try to trip the killer by crouch walking right in front of him. Killer sees an injured person and downs him. Many killers, myself included, will know that that person was just unhooked so they get slugged.

    In that situation, there was no choice but for the killer to be toxic. Other than letting the person run away which at that point may as well be a farming match.

    Point is, context matters in what is 'toxic'

    I wouldn't say either. Fair would be killing the people that you catch, so the fact that you aren't just makes you a nice guy. I'm sure some people appreciate the escape.

    Sure, but if the only way to avoid people acting like jackasses is to let them win - essentially not playing the game, if we're being honest - then something is REALLY wrong. It's the equivalent to the sibling/friend who you have to let win at Monopoly every time because otherwise they get pissed and throw the board across the room.

    Essentially, survivors have browbeat you into not playing the game. If that's ok with you, then more power to you.

    Funny how you write so many words about what is considered "toxic" when I did not use this word at all.

    "toxic" does not have any meaning anymore. People should stop using it.

  • csandman1977
    csandman1977 Member Posts: 2,358

    You are correct. My apoligies. There was an hour between hitting quote and actually writing this post. That being said, replace all instances of where i wrote toxic and replace it with 'playing fair'. The meaning of my post doesn't change at all.

    Well, i will say your goal is very honorable. To create good will and joyful spirits with people in game.

    If I crush a team I let them escape. I imagine I'm the idiotest idiot then.

  • Anara

    Yes, an escape mean a good chat after the match, and positivity is nice!
