If possible, staying open to criticism, even if it's combative, is generally a good idea :)redcowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710056327957225884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538219718087331009.post-64172858318655838762011-03-09T10:36:56.230-08:002011-03-09T10:36:56.230-08:00Good post!

An angry outburst every once in a while can be good and spark some emtion and get some people to work, but you need to make sure its not just negative all the time. Often times after an angry outburst people will just start criticizing each other (playing the blame game if you want to think of it like that), if they instead can give constructive criticism along with some things going well I think that is a big part of what can make an angry outburst like that helpful to the raid.Tamekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16270118394688830499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538219718087331009.post-66744858852589438772011-03-08T04:36:41.309-08:002011-03-08T04:36:41.309-08:00Larisa, I think you're right!

Furthermore, if one person has continuous angry outbursts, they run the risk of turning their perceived personality into an angry one (in which case, they would have to do something neutral or kind to be noticed!)redcowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710056327957225884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538219718087331009.post-76295357621724448292011-03-07T07:15:50.136-08:002011-03-07T07:15:50.136-08:00All guilds need an angry outburst from someone onc...All guilds need an angry outburst from someone once in a while, a bit of a shake-up that can stir a good discussion. However, there are diminishing returns on it. You have to use it with care, only when it's really, really needed. And not too often, because then people stop listening or even get demoralized. A bad day is fine but if all you hear about is bad days and there isn't any "we're actually a pretty cool bunch of people to play with" sprit left, you've hit a road that is likely to spiral downwards.Larísahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769822260333419777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538219718087331009.post-2883039550689136942011-03-06T22:37:52.398-08:002011-03-06T22:37:52.398-08:00I am always wary of playing WoW with manfriend bec...I am always wary of playing WoW with manfriend because he has a tendency to start talking in Vent when I'm saying something embarrassing or snarky - not something I want broadcast to the raid!<br /><br />And yeah, I was pretty hard on myself for losing my cool, but the next day I came on no one said anything, and since then there doesn't seem to be any awkward or bad feelings about it.<br /><br />Internet dragons, I'm coming for yooouuuuu! *_*redcowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15710056327957225884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1538219718087331009.post-38303654699464464142011-03-05T23:56:49.774-08:002011-03-05T23:56:49.774-08:00You know, people never believe me when I tell them...You know, people never believe me when I tell them that I'm swearing up a storm and scaring the beejezus out of my husband with my gripiness. But, sometimes it DOES overflow. One day, I'll click the push-to-talk and actually say something catty... in raid. I actually get embarrassed when I let it spill over.<br /><br />That being said, I've never had anyone else comment on my cattiness -- even when I've apologized. Just because it's out of character for you doesn't mean it's uncalled for, and honestly, we generally are much more critical of ourselves when it comes to not "containing" ourselves when we're having a truly horrible day.<br /><br />In the end, you gotta expect that no one is going to be 100% all the time, whether it's in gameplay or attitude, and you just take it in stride and keep on downing those internet dragons!Windsoarhttp://www.jadedalt.comnoreply@blogger.com
