Some Help please
For a while now I've been thinking things over, and I realized that I swear WAY to much and say overly harsh and rash things when I play on tf4. It's not something i'm proud of, and I don't wan't to be that guy who everyone thinks is a complete asshole. I really hate how much of problem this is for me, and i'd really like to tone it down a bunch and/or stop.
So I was wondering if any of you guys could help me out and give me some suggestions and pointers and stuff to help me cut back on the harsh language, because i'm almost certain you guys hate it as much as I do (if not more).

Re: Some Help please
Ok, first of.....i was there
Because i was playing in the server around that time. I wasn't completely following the conversation ,but apparently some people got offended at someone talking about
twerking and other sexual related stuff. The person who brought it up said that he felt restricted on the things he was allowed to talk. In reality, it seems to be typical
over-exaggeration from the server ,but at one point an admin had to mute the voice chat for 10 seconds due to 3 people bickering. I hope Katanarama wasn't one of them
because if you are going to bring a complaint be direct to the point. Because what you posted doesn't help anyone or anything since didn't even try to explained what happened
and instead are venting on something that is not related to what occurred.

Re: Some Help please
If you're a potty mouth in rl, I can see it carrying over into the game. If you're not, then:
1. Don't take the game so seriously.
2. See #1.
All I hear from you is cursing in a raging tone.
tl;dr - self control.

Re: Some Help please
The way I avoid swearing is by not swearing. It's really not hard.
Re: Some Help please
Just let the game be an outlet so it doesnt spread in to real life. I yell a lot online and get a decent amount of rage out and it makes things easier to cope with irl. Work, school and dealing with people is much easier knowing i have an outlet to vent. As long as things dont go too far and you dont develop an actual hatred of online people, dont worry about it and make sure youre still able to have a good time. Everyone is here to play games, so just dont ruin the fun for anyone.

Just don't swear. It's not like you have a tick or something for swearing...right? >.>

Just think before you speak. That may sound cliche, but most people on TF4 just spout whatever comes to their minds. As Porky said, "self control".

Take a break from the mic for a bit. Ease back into it and try to chime in only when you have something to contribute to the existing dialogue rather than using the mic to rant and rage.

Re: Some Help please
I can appreciate a good ol' bit of mic rage, and I probably indulge in it a bit too much myself.
Tips: 1. Get a wife. Shouting angry things randomly seems a lot sillier when there's someone else in the room.
2. Turn down your mic transmit volume. No one cares if you're raging if it's at a whisper.
3. Just don't do it if someone else is talking. The worst thing about people mic spamming is that it overwhelms actual conversation. Just avoid doing that and you're a step above a lot of people here.

Re: Some Help please
You misunderstand, this wasn't a complaint about an event or anything this was just me asking for some advice.

Re: Some Help please
When pablo joined the server, he was an annoying shithead who wouldn't stop swearing over the mic. After several mutes, I put up a vote to see if anyone else was annoyed by his excessive cursing. Think about 80%+ of a pretty full server found it annoying. He toned it down from that day onwards and look at him now. He's doing fine.
It's pretty simple really. Just don't do it. Or every time you feel like you wanna drop F bombs, do it without holding your transmit button down.

Re: Some Help please
I don't really see why it's such a big deal unless it's like.. literally every other word... I couldn't care less about swearing, they're just words deemed "bad" by society (slurs are different of course) Just be yourself, mang..
Now, if you are seriously like.. RAGING, like actually taking anger out on people on the game then yeah, I hope you find what you need to be more at peace as that is not good for anyone. I've taken anger/frustration out on people a few times in the server and I always feel bad about it :C

"OK, try to imagine yourself in the J2 Server... You get your first look at this "Pinkle" as you enter a clearing. She moves like a bird, lightly, bobbing her flamethrower. And you keep still because you think that maybe her visual acuity is based on movement like Johnny5 - She'll lose you if you don't move. But no, not Pinkle. You stare at her, and she just stares right back. And that's when the attack comes. Not from the front, but from the side, from the Hippie and Wolsky you didn't even know were there. Because Pinkle's a pack hunter, you see, she uses coordinated attack patterns and she is out in force today. And he slashes at you with this... A barbed-wired-wrapped fire axe, The Axetinguisher, in her left hand. She doesn't bother to headshot you like a Porkbun, say... no no. She lights you and slashes at you here, or here... Or maybe across the belly, critting your intestines. The point is, you are alive when she starts to rape you. So you know, try to show a little respect..." -- 3Ducks

Re: Some Help please
It`s pretty rare for a guy to ask for help on his attitude on the server. In my sincere opinion, Katana isn`t as bad as some other players.
Just try to not shout everything out, and you will do fine. Look at me, I´ve had couple of explosive shout moments, but I`m still doing fine.

Yup, my toes are dried up again.
