Not sure if I'm more disappointed in you for bumping it or with the community team for deciding the thread needed to be deleted as opposed to simply locking it. Regardless, glad the conversation in this thread has been mostly civil.

If they do, I make a note of it so that next time I'm in a trial that they lead, I can stand around and goof off, leeching off of the others. After all, if it's good enough for them, it sure as hell is good enough for me and I'd just as soon not pile on the debt and work my butt off to risk not getting the end reward.

(I bet you a million INF someone will /nerdrage over that statement completely ignoring the fact that I warn them first.)

I started warning the league right before we started. But then they claimed they didn't see it. Yeah, right. They saw which team was supposed to go into which lab/storehouse, but they didn't see the no-bombing warning. OK. Pretty selective instruction reading there.

In addition to warning them not to cutscene bomb, I say "first team done help the second". And each time I've kicked, there was plenty of time to help the other team... it wasn't like the other team was working on their last cache. I know I had time to jump into the other map and work on a target. But actually helping out is not the cutscene bomber's style. They want to just stand around while others work so they can showboat.

So if anyone says, "I didn't see the no-cutscene-bombing warning." Then did they also miss "Help the other team!"? That's *very* selective sight there.

So to avoid the "I didn't see the warning" lame excuse, I now recruit, "Forming a Lambda. PST. All ATs. RWZ2. No cutscene bombing." If anyone thinks I'm "too SRS" (anarchists are lulzy that way), they can simply not apply. And if they do apply and bomb, they get kicked.

Speaking of anarchists who have problems with social skills and getting along with the conventions of the league leader who was kind enough to invite them and organize their play-time: One time when I began the Lambda telling folks not to cutscene bomb, one player was all like, "Hey, why you no fun? This isn't srs bizness. this is supposed to be fun!"

OK, first of all, if this is suppose to be 'fun', why the heck are you starting an argument in an aggressive and ignorant matter? Some people like to have fun without cutscene bombing and are having fun without it. Some people are farming Emp Merits and don't want to spend another second in their thirty-fifth Lambda that week. So instead of simply asking 'why', we get that aggressive whine couched as a supposedly innocent question.

So I explained why: Spend time helping the other team and not showboating. Don't risk aggroing Marauder early. AVs have higher perception especially with the Orbs around.

So he continued the aggressive questioning.

<KICK!> <ignore ignoramus-man>

For someone who's main goal was fun, he was picking a fight over the ability to act silly. I guess acting silly is SRS BZNZ!
