The Definition of a Bad Teammate

by **AndyDufresne** on Tue Aug 25, 2009 4:59 pm

My definition of a Bad Teammate---someone who is entirely or mostly quiet in Team Chat---unless of course, you are playing with a repeat teammate and know their usual moves and can communicate via simply by your actions on the board.

But since every now and again I play random pick up team games with unfamiliar people, talking strategy is usually a must for me.

If you don't do what JR24 says, when JR24 says it, JR24 is not happy. That means, he'll lose. Hard. Doesn't matter if you've dominated the whole game, bitchy is as bitchy does.

I gave up on team games because of useless team mates. I may not be a brilliant player but I at least understand the concept of a team game. In one game the guy actively blocked the team from gaining two regions, ignored everything that was said to him, never said a single word. Yet left me glowing feedback... even calling me a leader. How can I have been a leader when he was stone cold deaf to everything I said!

Indeed, I was a bad team mate that game! Too many other things going on to play games on time, unfortunately---during that period of time!
