The Survivor/Killer Code - Written By a Killer.
Been thinking about this for a while, and actually had a lot of fun writing it. If you want to add something, feel free to do so below.
This is essentially the code I'm trying to play by right now, as challenging as it can be sometimes.
- If you have a DC, a DOH or I'm absolutely skunking you, I will likely give the last 1 or 2 of you the game. It doesn't make a big difference to me in BP and I'd rather not beat on someone that has no chance of winning.
- That said, for the love of the Entity, don't farm forever. Get your BP and go, please. I'm already maxed on Chase and Hits. No need to waggle your bum at me (I'm not going to sit there for half an hour watching you heal). And if you want me to end it, all you need to do is run up to me.
- If you can clearly see that we are mismatched and you are skunking me, please give me a chance to get some BP too. A few hits and hooks won't kill you, and you'll also earn more BP, whilst slightly improving my general opinion of survivors.
- Thou shalt not queue up with a deranked/smurfing friend to crush lowbies. That's just bad karma and makes the game a little more toxic overall.
- If you get slugged and crawl away somewhere, I'm not going to waste too much time looking for you. Don't complain if you die in a bush.
- If you run up somewhere where there are no hooks and I down you, don't complain if you die in an attic.
- I will try to conduct myself with your fun in mind, so long as you conduct yourself with mine in mind. While we are both trying to win, let's not be butts about it and try to ensure we all leave with some BP.
- I won't intentionally camp you, unless your team completely outclasses me and I need some BP. My goal is not to kill you, but to try and get people to come close so I can score, or to focus the game into a certain area.
- That said, if I hook you and there are things in the immediate vicinity that demand my attention, I will still likely be around. if I see someone and they lead me back to you, I'm trying to grab them, not down you. But if it happens, it happens. Nothing personal.
- I won't tunnel you intentionally, but if you unhook and run straight into me, I'm taking that swing. Also: if you have a toolbox, are being obnoxious as a Blendette or have a key, you made yourself a target of priority and all bets are probably off.
- That said, if you decide to flashlight spam or teabag me, I'll assume you want my attention and I'll give it to you. Soon.
- If I'm running a Mori, assume that I'm trying to do a particularly obnoxious daily. It's nothing personal.
- If you wait until the last second before all switching to Blendettes with toolboxes, you probably aren't going to get to the gameplay screen. You know what you did, and why I suddenly had internet trouble. Don't be jerks and I'll be happy to jam with you.
- For the love of small baby kittens, there are other offerings besides Haddonfield. Please know that for many killers, this map is the antithesis of fun. At least until the Entity buys a hedge trimmer.
- Be humble in victory. If you sit there spamming flashlights at me at the exit, rest assured that I'm probably going to be less kind to my next group (and by me I mean killers in general). This goes for mocking me in postgame too.
- Be gracious in defeat. Just because I hooked you doesn't mean you have to DC.
- You may boop the snoot exactly once per game. If I'm already winning, I probably won't down you. That said, if I'm playing Pig it's probably for a daily. I'm here to play, not to meme.
- I'm not 'try-harding'. I'm just trying to get my 2 kills. If it feels like I am, assume that you are playing very well and that I'm going all out to compensate.
- Please remember that if you are on coms, you have a significant advantage baseline and that matchmaking no longer compensates for it. Take it easy. I'm sure that if the shoe was on the other foot, you wouldn't like getting stomped either.
- This all said - remember. We all love this game, as much as it feels like sometimes it doesn't love us back. Let's focus more on the fun!
Very curious as to whether survivors have anything to add.
(EDITED to add 18-20, refined some points)

Question about 10, what if we (I) am a more agressive blendette? Willing to take chases, not UE'ing across the map, and use my blendette setup to attempt to disappear midchase?

Was hoping for a comedic "Killer's handbook" or "Survivor's Hanbook" type post talking about all the "unwritten" rules that we have to abide by on both sides... anyways for the most part this list seems reasonable
"15) Be humble in victory. If you sit there spamming flashlights at me at the exit, rest assured that I'm probably going to be less kind to my next group."
This one is probably one you might revise... it's something I learned in other online games with massive toxicity like League of Legends and Dota but each match is a fresh game and a fresh group of people who haven't done anything yet. Toting baggage around from previous games each game isn't healthy for the game neither for your own mental health (though plenty of people do it). It's like the survivors who get farmed by a bad teammate in the previous game trying to sandbag a fresh group of random teammates in the next game as revenge.
P.S. caveat being if you don't get matched with the same person(s) again immediately

*sees 4 blendettes*
Whoops, my router unplugged itself!
What a silly coincidence!

OK, now convince all killers to follow this...

It really depends on how cancerous you are being with it. If you just keep doing it, especially on a map where it can be nearly impossible to see you - yeah. Don't let me catch you, because now it's a grudge match.
I'd love to see a comedic handbook like that, but aside from the 'boop the snoot' thing, I'm not sure how many I could come up with.
Regarding 15 - I'm trying to show how being nasty to the killer in one game can cause them to take it out on other players in future games. I'm not being 100% literal here.
Because, as I said, they all switched at the absolute last second - assumedly to stop me from bringing Franklins, a Mori or just dodging the lobby.

10/10 for #7 and #17, by far my favorite points on your list!

I'm a survivor. If someone brings a key I will try to point you in their direction. Unless you have a Mori.

I’m extremely tempted to do this when it’s a p3 claud with a key ngl

Thanks. 17 is now 20, by the way XD.
0 -
Y'know, I still stand by #17 regardless
1 -
Heh. Yeah. As much fun as it can be, survivors now think that a Pig must let them go if they point in her direction.
The only boop I'll accept is when someone runs directly into me in stealth and boops me before I can respond. Well played, sir.

If they boop the snoot, I will play the game out as normal.
If it comes to a decision of whether to give them hatch, the individual's snoot booping history may be considered.

Love this! Honestly wish more people, no matter what they queued for, kept stuff like this in mind when they played. We should all be able to chill and have fun.
