Well played, Jenuall! When I created the Rocket League Tuesday session, one of my goals was to make sure that everyone was welcome to play, regardless of skill level. The aim is to have fun playing and to enjoy the chat. Sure, we have a range of abilities but - for this session - that shouldn't really matter.
Last night I was majorly pissed off, though. I've slept on the incident but I'm gonna call it out here. Unfortunately, one person (and I'm not to going to specifically name him in this post) was, in my view, out of order in verbally slating the abilities of other players; and not in a "funny" way but in a really unwelcome way. Worse, I subsequently saw that this unwelcome criticism was also posted on someone's live stream of the session.
It's an awkward situation because the person isn't a GRcade member and I know that some GRcade folk are friends with the person; indeed, I normally think of the person as being pretty decent. Of course, I want to avoid any conflict being instigated but I will have to say something to the person in order to try and avoid any repeat of the unwanted behaviour.
Tl;dr Everyone is welcome to play at this particular Rocket League session, regardless of ability. If folk don't like this approach then maybe it isn't the right session for you.
