A Frank Discussion about Unicum Gameplay

But World of Warships is actually closer to this:

Special thanks to NoZoupForYou for that awful video.  I was going to compare it to Snakes and Ladders.

Ok

[Lert]

But what if my name isn't Frank? What do I play then?

[Cobraclutch]

Me playing WOWS :D 

 

[chewonit]

That crossfire game looks hard...

[Madwolf05]

Oh my inner 90s kid loved that video so much.

hehehe thank you for that, I was worried no one would get it :D 

[MajorRenegade]

it more like this

if you get hit, you get sunk and have to start a new match all over again.

And the reality of me playing WOWS.   Just like Charlie.   My ship ends up like those chess pieces - MELTED

 

[Doomlock]

Well that video was 90s nostalgia. I've never even heard of the game before.

 

Quality ship post Mouse.

World of warships for me

I usually compare it to Hungry Hungry Hippos. 

[LittleWhiteMouse]

These are all great comparisons.  Keep them in mind the next time your hear a unicum try and stat shame someone.  Just substitute your favourite board game for World of Warships.  "I have a 70% win rate in [Hungry Hungry Hippos]."

Ha speak for yourself :P I go to the gym on a daily basis and live a very active life. Being good at world of warships =/= being bad at life.

 

Now if I was only a unicum in the gym.. #purplegoals 

[Big_Spud]

 

And don't forget to do the opposite for ultra baddies. Next time you hear someone saying they play for fun as an excuse for being terrible, just substitute in: "I like to smear applesauce all over the [Checkers Board], I'm just playing for fun anyways."

 

Life as a unicum revolves around hating literally every other person in a match, without exception.

[Jnobsir]

 

How I see myself when playing most CA's.

 

What I actually look like.

This game isn't complicated enough to warrant the term unicum, it is more a game of positioning than combat.

Not really, stat shaming is a reflection on the maturity level and emotional state of the person.  The guys in SIMP are some of the nicest I have gamed with and the most helpful to other players. Sure we get asshats in the clan, but they dont last long.

For example, we had a guy TK an arty in a battle I was in with him, unplatooned, I called him on it in the battle and in TS. Clan Leadership warned him, the 2nd time he did it, he was booted.
