Recruitment (looking for team)
Allealstuff
I know you had good motivations for making this post, and the general premise is true, but I disagree with a lot of your specific points tbh:
Alleal-Keep it positive. This is as simple as rephrasing what you're saying. Instead of 'why didn't you kill him," or "how did he get behind us," make them into general suggestions. Say "I need someone to follow up on my damage," or "our flank isn't being watched close enough." Saying it the first way doesn't do anything but insinuate that someone must be responsible for it. Saying it the second identifies the problem and provides a solution at the same time, while keeping it neutral.
While I agree with being solution-oriented in your commentary, I don't think it helps to make things general and remove the individual aspect of it. If one of the scouts on my team is overextending and I call "guys, don't overextend", it gives less weight to the suggestion for the scout actually doing it and might also cause a player not doing it to misinterpret the call as being about him and stop playing right. I can understand people who think all criticism should wait until after the game, but if you're gonna work it in you shouldn't be so general that the criticism is no longer useful.
Alleal-Not everything is someone's fault. Blame doesn't always have to be distributed for each bad turn your team takes. Remember that the other team has 6 players trying to do exactly to you what you are to them. You won't win every bit, and a success on the other team's part doesn't necessarily denote a failure on your own.
Yes and no. While sometimes the blame game is pointless/it's impossible to figure out whose fault something is, you shouldn't settle for "well, the other team just did well". Unless one dude gets like a triple airshot, always hold your team to a high enough standard and don't say stuff like "well, we just got out-DM'd, so whatever"
Alleal-In the same vein, if something happens once it doesn't mean it's going to happen constantly. Something slipping through your flank is bad, certainly, but it doesn't always point to some fundamental flaw of your flank players. Mistakes are made, and chances are the person already knows it's his or her fault. There isn't a need to point it out every time it happens. In the instance that there is a fundamental flaw, address it with the knowledge that degrading the player will only make things worse. You don't need to sugarcoat it, but keep it as free from accusation as possible.
This is 90% true, but if there's a need to bring it up at all it's probably because there IS a fundamental flaw and not just a one-time thing. If you're the dude calling and you instantly start yelling at your team for a mistake they made once, that's bad. But if there's a series of mistakes over multiple games and the players making them aren't working on it, that's different.
AllealAlso, realize that the player may not be able to solve it on his own. Ask your roamer to spend more time on the flank, or stick closer to your combo if your pocket has weak ubers.
Never stick closer to the combo as a roamer lol
idk why I went so ham on this post considering its point (bleakx should work on his attitude in-game) still stands, just throwin my 2c in

kuzaradiumI'm 24, have a job, a Master's, a decent car, and I pay my bills - but I don't have enough to move out. My best option right now is a "starter home" that I can buy in about 1 year from now provided I do some debt-elimination.
I actually have to MOVE from where I grew up (and my family) in order to find affordable housing (and employment). Housing costs are going to destroy the 15-30 y/o generation in this country.
There are some decent places about an hour out in Baltimore - but if we're not talking there then I'll be shipping my ass out to the deep South (which is not bad considering I know people down there thanks to college). I'll never be able to afford 90% of Maryland.
you could team up with a buddy to buy your first house. And really, anything you put into a house you get back, plus some. We made 90K on our first house after only 5 years, so in the end it's worth it even if you don't live in your desired area yet. It does get better!
Depends on where you are, I don't think house prices are rising in much of the United States post-recession

rangaim just curious, whats the medical opinion of marijuana for cases such as yours? are drugs such as prozac just better for depression
from what ive seen marijuana is really hit-or-miss, for a lot of people it's helpful and for others it has little to no effect
