#TakeTheBlame | The Power of Honesty

[Yisroel.Rabin 16,224]

Well, your campaign has some merit. 

 

But don't go blaming someone who has missed a few shots because they don't have great hand-eye co-ordination. 

 

It sounds as if you're saying...Apologize to the team each time you miss a shot. We all have missed shots because of game lag or had miscalculated the enemy's next move. Are you suggesting at the end of a battle, the losing team should take time out for confessions and atonements? Everyone saying it's my (the individual) fault we lost. 

 

I guess I'm missing the point, here. I haven't seen anyone blaming anybody for losing a battle or missing a shot. Yes, I have heard players complaining they missed a shot because of lag. It happens quite often. 

Nah, I don't mean actually take the blame for missing every shot you do. I mean, don't go blaming others for every shot you miss.

Naw. I know when I'm doing well and when I'm not. Sometimes, I'll try changing turrets and/or hulls. But if I'm still doing poorly, I just quit playing Tanki for that day or evening. I'm not a poor player, but if I'm playing poorly, then I feel I'm not doing my team justice, in which case, I'll log out of the battle in hopes that someone better will join. 

 

If I'm on a noobish team that's playing worse than me, then it really doesn't matter how I play. But bottom line is, I do not blame others for my own faults or mistakes. I own up to them. If a team wins because of my missed shot, sure I blame myself. But if it was a matter of, say, one flag for the win, then killing the flag bearer is only prolonging the inevitable.
