Anyone here going all out ignoring rule books?

I follow my own rules which are generally.

Step 1- get all BBQ stacks

Step 2- gens popping, 2 gens left 4 survivors I'll tunnel/camp if necessary

Usually if someone farms someone off the hook, I'll down injured guy amd go for the farmer. Sometimes if I need momentum I'll be a dick.

Even if you play nice you'll still get hatemail.

I only follow rules that I set for myself and the actual game's rules, not anyone else's.

When I play survivor and get tunnelled/camped, I do my best to not get caught/struggle to the last second to give my teammates more time.

I would have bet on politicans and american game journalists^^.

Uhh I won't break their personal rules just to break them, but I'll simply have my fun within the game's official rules.

Whether their rules line up with those or not, it's whatever to me.

Unlike many here, I don't get a kick out of other people being salty.

Not really a killer main but I get over it and que up for another lobby.

In my opinion, these are the only "unwritten rules" any player should follow:

1 - Play how you want to play and enjoy the game.

2 - Respect is akin to Newtons 3rd law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Ergo, if you show no respect, don't expect any.

3 - The Killers role is to kill, the Survivors is to survive... Both by any means necessary. Hate the game, not the player.

4 - When the gates are powered... Anything goes.

5 - You paid money for a multiplayer experience, and thus aren't entitled to win every match. Anyone who takes umbrage to this should stick to single-player games where-in you are entitled to win for the money you paid. Being salty because of a lost match is unbecoming, embarrassingly juvenile, and toxic to the communities reputation. We're all people pitting our skills, strategies, and knowledge against each-other. If you lose and have nothing good to say: Leave a "gg," calm down/lick your wounds, and move onto the next match.

6 - (For PC players anyways) Post game chat can be closed using the ">>" in the lower right of the chat box, and will remain closed until you either open it again or restart the game. No one deserves abuse, so if you find yourself frustrated over excessive endgame chat toxicity: Just close it, and continue enjoying the game in peace.

7 - This is a 4v1 Lobby and Match style Multiplayer game. When you queue up to play a match you are committing to seeing it through so that everyone can enjoy the game, and everyone else who queued up is depending on your commitment to the match in order to experience said enjoyment. The acceptable reasons for Intentionally Disconnecting from a match are as follows:

1. A Game breaking bug rendering you incapable of playing a normal match.
2. A Player(s) taking the game hostage/hacking/exploiting bugs or game mechanics/bullying or griefing you. (Report these ones after leaving the match)
3. Influences and situations outside of the game that make your disconnection unavoidable in order to deal with said circumstances.

Disconnecting from a match intentionally for any other reason is a practice in bad sportsmanship that Ruins the experience for all other players. Disconnecting over petty reasons doesn't do anything other than piss off everyone else, and makes you a worse player for it since you don't learn how to play any better by quitting. Too many DC's from too many players can also result in leaving the community as a whole with a sour experience, and could eventually kill the game we love. If you are frustrated with how a match is going; Take it in stride as a learning experience, see it through to the end, take a break, and decide if you want to queue up for another match. We all bought this game in order to play it with others despite how each match goes, and the majority of the fun this game offers is in the challenge variation of each individual match.

Don't be a petty DC'er.
