Don't be a butthead, Poppet. - AYFKM?!?!?

Hullooooo Poppets!!

As all of my loyal readers are aware, I have spent a number of hours playing City of Heroes as of late. I hope you can indulge me as I diverge from our normal conversations regarding Air Travel and self-promotion to talk a moment about a few short TEENSY things that are on my mind.

Best PRO-gress in CoH is made when part of a team. The best teams function when all are playing their respective roles to defeat an army of evildoers. Additionally, these evildoers who are crying out to be defeated are scattered in a maze like environment with lots of little nooks and crannies where a less efficient team can get separated.

Typically, teams have a leader. That leader, in best cases, leads. For the best interest of everyone in CoH the leader typically not only leads (quite literally - up front) but they also call a strategy when facing an gang of evildoers that would obviously chew us up and spit us out were we to just run up and start smacking them willy nilly.

Butthead #1 - THAT guy - the guy that runs in front of everyone, with his Super Speed turned on, and accidentally aggros tons of mobs we aren't ready for and haven't called a strategy on. This guy will also, upon receiving his ass-kicking (that he deserved) will cry that others weren't doing their jobs etc.

Butthead #2 - The Room Nazi - We all seem to be letting one guy go first - good. Then we lose a member, we are all turning circles looking for him. Where did he go? As soon as you open the map to start looking for him, he shows up in team chat - "We missed some over here!". This guy is super anal about the map and clearing every single bad guy - in the order you passed them and will lead the team backwards and forwards all over the place to make sure that this happens. AYFKM?!?!?!?!

Butthead #3 - The Build Guy - This guy has a level 50 character and wants to share his unsolicited opinion on your choice of build. Had one the other day tell another team member that had they slotted correctly a "healer" would never be necessary" (cough cough BULLSHIT)

Butthead #4 - The Tank "wannabe" - He is a Scrapper - and good at it - if he weren't driving everyone nuts running into fights first and aggro'ing outside of the agreed upon strategy. If you love tanking so much - why didn't you build a tank. And if you run in first and pull all the aggro to you - (without the invulnerability and other resistance powers needed to live) then what the hell is the tank supposed to do? Run around you and pretend to be a scrapper??? AYFKM?!?!?!?!?

Thank you so much for indulging me - we now return to our normal discussions of Air Travel Asshats and BuhlindaC self-promotion.
