Here is my usual post-event reminder to treat volunteers at dog events kindly. We were at the trial for 12 hours on Saturday and 14 hours on Sunday and are exhausted. That's set up, working, showing our own dogs, awards, and take down.

At no point on Saturday was I not working. I even ate lunch while hunt mastering CAT runs. On Sunday I got a bit of time to rest while waiting to take my dogs into the ring, but even then I was doing something. And when I was not actively showing my dogs, I was working.

So if you are at a dog event and things are going a bit slow, please keep your frustration to yourself and be gracious and patient with the volunteers.

#we (by which I mean five people) literally took down everything in the dark via headlights #the sunday show ran late but we were doing our best #nearly everyone was super gracious #but you can tell when someone has not worked at event #because that's the person who complains #people who volunteer know how hard it is #sportsmanship

Splatmas is coming, and you know what that means?

Bet none of you guessed it's Psudopod's Big Lecture on How Y'all Need SPORTSMANSHIP!

Sportsmanship is behaviour and attitudes that show respect for the rules of a game and for the other players. 

Part 1: Rules of the Game.

There are indeed rules, here they are!

In Splatoon 3 you may be reported for breaking the rules for the following infractions;

Inappropriate Nickname

Inactivity

Intentional Disconnection

Unsportsmanlike Play (Self-Destruction)

Unsportsmanlike Play (Disrupting Team)

Intentionally Not Contributing

Network Manipulation

Malicious Use of Glitches or Errors

Cheating

Griefing (the action or an act of deliberately spoiling other players' enjoyment of a game by playing in a way that is intentionally disruptive and aggravating)

I've bolded the rules I see broken, often, especially during splatfests. Thankfully, I rarely see the ones I didn't bold. What I do see, pretty often, is Bad Sportsmanship.

I am referring to mid-match squid parties.

What are squid parties? A squid party is when the players ignore the in-game objectives and do... Whatever they feel like! Usually, this is seen as people standing around squidbagging together. It's honestly pretty fun! When everyone is on the same wavelength and the full lobby parties, it can be a cool time to explore how the game feels, play party games, and be silly! Note however, I said the full lobby. To play by your own rules when any single player is playing by the game's rules, is unsportsmanlike.

Thankfully, for all you partiers, there is a simple and easy way to make sure every player in your lobby is playing by the same rules; private lobbies! Make a private lobby, invite your friends, or join a pool to make some friends! I imagine "Squidparty" is a code you could use, but please do share any codes you've tried in your reblog. You can even plan games in lobbies, like "bumper brushes" or "hide-and-seek"!

Please, if you want to party, join a private lobby. Everyone else there will want to party, too. Assume everyone in public lobbies is there to play the game as described by the rules, even if they leave you to party.

If you are in a lobby to play, don't ignore partiers. They are just as often "Griefing" with intentions to use your mercy against you. Kill. Leave the lobby. Report. Move on. Pick any of the multiple rules that apply to squid party behavior. You can find the report button in the battle logs section of the terminal. Don't join a private lobby and report the goofs going on there, don't join a public battle and goof.

Part 2: Respect for Other Players

The Sportsmanship life doesn't end when you put the controller down! Y'all still Unsportsmanlike in the community. You need to treat other players right. We don't have Rules out here, but here's some bullshit I'm sick of seeing:

Racism (colorism and xenophobia)

Bullying (extreme language, hate mail harassment)

Being a sore loser (BS points 1 and 2, really.)

I don't need to re-hash the colorism issues. This is an old problem. Stop. Please remember your comments on the physical features of the idols can be hurtful, real people share those features.

What I do have to hash is the xenophobia. Y'all aware that blaming an entire nationality for you losing is bigoted? Y'all aware that claiming an entire nationality is just too good at the game is a stupid stereotype? Stop saying weird shit about Japanese players.

Bullying- hey, are you aware saying "KYS," any suicide baiting, is bullying and harassment? This is EXTREME language. Do not throw that shit around in the Splatfest tags when you're sad you lost. Do not throw that shit around in plaza posts. You will lose your plaza posting ability, account-wide. I dare you to send that shit on anon. I will drag your ass. Again.

It's ok to be sad you lost, but please be aware that lashing your negative feelings out on real people, or in ways that can hurt real people, is POOR SPORTSMANSHIP. Do you remember, in grade school sports, how the coach would tell you to line up and tell each member of the opponent team "good game"? You ever wonder why?

You should always be grateful and courteous, respectful, and constructive to every one of your opponents. You would not be able to play the game without opponents.

This splatfest, I really hope to see some better sportsmanship inside and outside the game.

I've said way too much already, I'll leave you with homework. This 'fest, I'd like for you to thank your opponents. Even when they beat you. Especially then. They did their best and respected you with a display of the fruits of their effort.

#splatoon 3 #splatfest #frostyfest #Frye #shiver #big man #discourse #long post #sportsmanship #rant #kids please talk to your coach/gym teacher about how you act after a fest this is the one thing you can learn in P.E.

‘I want you to approach this in the best traditions of Unseen University sportsmanship, which is to cheat whenever you are unobserved, though I fear that the chance of anyone being unobserved today is remote.’

I know I always bitch about volunteering for dog events after we put on a big one but I'm going to bitch about volunteering for dog events.

Tldr: Treat your volunteers nicely or they'll quit.

Bitching under the cut.

There are certain people at our events who have strong opinions on how lure opping should be done and they are not shy about sharing criticisms. They're all the super hyper-competitive Whippet People. And like, I'm human. I mess up sometimes. If I don't stop the lure deep enough over the finish line that is 100% on me and I generally go "oh fuck" when it happens. I don't make that mistake often (like, once or twice a year), but it happens-- and it specifically happens because I really don't want to run the super fast dogs into the back wall, so I slow the lure early because judging distance is hard.

The non-Whippet People will let me know, I'll apologize, they'll say 'great!', and then we'll move on with our lives. The Whippet People will let me know, and then they'll ask their friends to let me know, and then every time they walk past me for the rest of the day they'll go "now remember that the dogs have to be going full speed over the finish line!" And they'll also bring it up the next day. Multiple times.

I asked a whippet person (lowercase letters) who lure ops for advice and she was like "yeah it happens" and gave some good advice and said I'm doing a good job. She said everyone messes up sometimes and shared a couple of her goofs.

So I don't need people to say thanks or give me accolades or anything. That's not why I'm volunteering. I volunteer because I enjoy dog sports, and dog sports run on volunteers, and if people stop volunteering then there will be no more dog sports and that will suck.

But I am not going to lie, when certain people, who do not lure op, only offer criticism, and bring that criticism up over and over and over, including when I am not making mistakes, and they never ever mention when I am doing a good job, which is the vast majority of the time, it makes me want to say "okay, you fucking do it" and walk to my car and drive home.

#using my angry tag: #sportsmanship #I had a really great weekend #I'm not quitting racing #or lure opping #but sometimes I want to take certain people and shake them #'you realize I'm doing this for free right' #'you realize I'm doing three peoples' worth of work while you sit on your ass and do nothing when your dogs aren't running right' #'you realize I don't even have a racing dog right now right' #'I don't have to be here' #'I could be doing something else' #anyway the people whose opinions I care about have my back #but sometimes I want to bite someone

UEFA refused to organise a minute's silence before the start of the Israel and Poland u21 game.

In response, the two teams decided not to play the first minute of the match and observe a minute's silence in homage to the victims of October 7th terror attack.

Thank you Poland.
