can someone explain to me smth. about "Wheatons Law"

  • I just learned what Whratons Law is.
    i seached for some video and saw this:

    if i get it correctly he say: have fun, compete, dont be competetive and just dont be a duck :D

    what i dont get is the difference between compete, but dont be competetive?

    many here state git gud, improve, its a competetive games etc.

    Well competitin is an essential part of SoT, competing and having fun is all fine.
    To me a lot of toxitiy comes with eagerness, beeing overzealos, exxagerate about gaming in general.

    can someone try to explain to me how it is meant what he said above, because i'm not sure i missheared it or understand this at all, because:
    compete, but dont be competetive sounds like a contradiction or is beeing competetive to be eager, overzealos, exxagerating about the competition???

  • @bugaboo-bill i guess it is "do your best and have fun".

  • @bugaboo-bill It's pretty simple really, compete but don't take yourself too seriously. If you lose you lose, if you win you win, don't be a d**k about it.

    If you lose, don't be salty about it and complain that people are playing the game.
    If you win, be gracious, congratulate your opponents on a game well played and try to leave it as a positive experience for everyone.

    Your competency in a game doesn't make you better or worse than anyone else, we're all here to have fun at the end of the day, so long as your fun doesn't take away from others' unnecessarily. Be sporting, be kind to your fellow players, don't treat people badly because they're not as good as you and don't victimize people just for the sake of it.

    Basically, don't be a d**k.

  • thanks, that clears it up @Capt-Kanna @Gelidus91

  • @bugaboo-bill

    Compete to the best of your abilities, without disrespecting others.

    It's something which summ1t and Pace22 do every single time they play SoT.

    Also something which many other players (including myself during spawn camp) do, but is sometimes interpreted as toxic, trolling, disrespect, etc. , etc. by other people.

  • @greengrimz yeah sure

    tryig to get the joke in here :D

    not toxic???

    insulting the others all the time - great not toxic at all i see :D

  • Being competitive is a mindset could only assume the meaning of it all is strive for first place but don't worry about getting sunk or coming in second

  • @Greengrimz

    another?

    please say it's not toxic

  • @bugaboo-bill just to clarify the videos you linked to; the other teams was actually insulting summit first and then he talks back in the same manner as they were. Of you've ever watched summit stream you'll see that he doesnt just go off trash talking other people without a reason. Now i cant say that this is 100% but it is close. I even watched him stream in some of those clips. The 2nd video you're linking to the clips are totally out of context its pretty much like watching fake news where they can clip out what they want to show you.

  • @capt-kanna so you say if i let me get triggered i can act toxic as well?

    sorry - no smypthy for this streamer as he is a toxic gamer and he's also a sour and salty loser too. then he blames Rare and the game.

    it does in no way matter what happened before or after or whenever. He said things what show, he's eager, overzealous and not making any fun or contributing to a welcoming community.

    when i got insulted, i dont replay on the same level, i try to calm them down, show emapthy, offer help etc....

  • @bugaboo-bill personally i wouldnt care if people was toxic to me, matter of fact i wouldnt even say anything back. 99% of the time i dont even speak/write ingame. The way i am and see the world is very different from most people. I know they are (as i would call it) brainwashed by society and therefore act in a certain way.

    • Divide and conquer to rule the sheeps.
      Other people online couldnt bother me the least.
      About summit talking back in the same manner i can understand a bit more than just start out with being toxic. I do not agree with starting out being toxic or responding in a toxic way but i think that if people start trash talking i dont see the problem if they are getting talked back at negatively.
      I just dont care how other people behave.
      As i also said somthing like, in a earlier post you made; if we wanted to change how people behave online being toxic etc. It doesnt start on some random game forum on the internet, no matter how many posts there will be created regarding this subject. It is like 'outside of gaming': the more talk there was about bullying the more it happend.

    I suggest you to read into 'theta hypnosis' if you wanna find some real answers.
    Short hint: the more we promote anything (talk about somthing) both negatively and positivly it will manifest and become our reality.

  • @capt-kanna I have seen several of his vids where he is toxic for sure. Especially his treatment of kids. And while he sure tries to behave in game chat, his "off line" or behind the scenes chat is definitely toxic.

  • @nofears-fun what he does "behind the scene" does it matter here? I havent watched everything from summit but from what i have seen i dont think he is this toxic monster, people make him out to be.

  • @nofears-fun oh and forgot "he's treatment of kids" i havent seen anything bad there either unless kids been toxic first. I have seen him troll kids where he hides on their ship and move chests around. Even he's stream chat usually goes on telling him to be nice or not..

  • @bugaboo-bill

    What is your obsession with this one guy who no longer streams SoT? Just curious.. He is not involved with either SoT or Rare.

    Would you like others to reply with hundreds of clips of current official streamers being nice to people? Is that it??

  • @wagstr i only reply because i'm nice.

    read above, then @Greengrimz made the statement about summit not beeing toxic and i linked two videos.

    i'm done here - thats offtopic

  • @capt-kanna yeah all are brainwashed, i see i see.
    have fun

  • @bugaboo-bill aight your veiw on the world is the correct one. i am done responding to your posts, have it your way. only people who agrees with your viewpoints should be allowed anyways.

  • @capt-kanna i should quote your from the other post where you replied, people trolling is fine :D

    you are a funny person - and for sure you are special and not brainwashed like the rest of us. i see i see :D

    uh i need to go, chemtrails on the horizon - run :D

  • @bugaboo-bill chemtrails? lol? like you know anything about what i'm interested in.
    now you're just trying to bait this topic into getting locked cus you are getting your feelings hurt.

    Not sure if you watched the clip. I rather think you didn't. Because he's trash talking those first guys only because they trash talked him first. The rest of it is regular board & overtake content.

  • @greengrimz i got it.

    Still i say it's unneccessary toxicity and justifying it is toxic too to me.

    Saying it's all not that bad is where toxicity starts. Where to draw the line?

    Why not just nice people?

    It's overzealous gaming and exageration. I dont support that!

    Thanks for clarification.

    @Deckhands please close

    I get what you mean. I too wish the world was a better place for many people around the globe, not just in the gaming world. But it is what it is huh?

    Because that's an impossibility, humans are flawed.

    [Offtopic]
    I think we have bad news for you here. Means that you're most likely less special or different than you're estimating yourself and that there are also more not so less intelligent (forum filter won't let me use that harmless word but ok) people than you're imagining.
    Maybe in your specific case are good reasons that back up your claim, but we all need to be careful when putting this fancy hat on ourselves. Just as a side note.

    Still, thumbs up for you not caring about other people's trashy behaviour, this alone could solve soo much problems for some people.

  • How many more threads are you going to start to harp on toxicity in a video game?

    Thanks.

    i hope @Deckhands can close this now.

  • @bugaboo-bill

    The problem is not so much whether we are prepared to accept 'toxicity' but more so different individuals perception of 'toxicity' in the context of a Pirate game.
