How is it toxic to tell someone to hurry up?

molten cedar
#

Yes.

jolly valley
#

And it is not toxic to wait until the last second before you end your turn? 🙂

I don't think that hurry up sounds offensive, but...ok

You can also report someone for spamming the emoji (being "toxic"), or mute them if you are so sensitive.

Not adding this feature just because a few people feel offended by it is like McDonald's making their toilets "all-gender" because some idiots who believe they are the opposite gender would feel offended when they don't get allowed in the toilet of the gender they are not.

The solution to someone being offended by "Hurry up!" is the mute option. You can simply cease to receive new chats, or even report the player for being "toxic".

You're right. It's exactly like that. na_generalthumbsup

Honestly this would just lead to toxicity

My point is: You're annoyed by something. So you want to annoy them back. That's fine. But I don't have to support that.

You're fine to think otherwise.

It was added as a meme phrase originally. People spamming any phrase can be muted and even reported, that's right.

You suggested an Idea and I don't like it. You can throw me into a pot of people you hate, or you can try to see my point.

People disagree. That's perfectly fine.

# jolly valley I understand your point, but not all people would use it in a toxic way. Most pe...

If I tell you to "Hurry up" when you're before me in line when buying something, would you ever take that as constructive criticism? Do you really think that's how you "change people"? Or do you rather just want to react to something you're annoyed by?

The phrase does not come with any other intend than to be toxic.

With a friend you can use it in a joking manner. That's why it was added to the game, as a meme phrase.

Well, you know for yourself that's not true.

"Being too slow" is always subjective anyways.

What about when there are 6 players in Capital Conquest choosing their capital and the last player chooses it the last second of their turn...
5 players before him managed to make the choice, and you genuinely believe that the last one didn't have time to think of what to choose in the meanwhile, out of so many territories he has...
Let's say that the 5 players before him were very quick, taking less than 20 seconds to choose, that's still 1.5 minutes before his turn. He deserves a "hurry up" in all-caps with an angry/raging emoji

I am that guy. Sometimes I have difficult decisions to make. Or maybe I just take a bit longer generally. Not everyone is the same.
I don't think a "Hurry up" would help me in any way.

If I was just the idiot doing that deliberately every turn, then you could report me.

I may deserve it. But I don't need to support toxic tools to do that to people. Because I don't like that kind of behavior.

That would make sense if reports were actually manually monitored. When you report someone for stalling, no admin comes to spectate the game and decide whether or not the report is legitimate. The reports just pile up and the game automatically suspends the acount after it gets reported a certain amount of times. This does not stop the player from stalling, because he doesn't even get the reason of the suspension. Even when a player gets suspended, they don't know why, it just says for violating the rules. If it said "you have been suspended for stalling" then it would make more sense. But still, a player doesn't get suspended until they receive like 100 reports, and it's unlikely that 100 people would use the report function whenever someone is stalling.

Every game with a chat is full of people whining constantly that others should hurry up. Even if they play quickly in general and just take an extra second to think. You might even know people who do it in real life, but then you can luckily just stop inviting them.

I just want to point out that I am not here to argue whether or not either one of us is in the right, I am simply explaining my point of view, everyone has their opinion, hence the voting system for suggestions

I can use my voice for a change though. By the root though. Treating the symptoms isn't very effective.

Also I would like to point out how certain other games have certain emotes that are used for toxicity even if they aren't originally meant to be used that way. For example, Clash Royale with the laughing emoji, or Rocket League with "What a save!"

Giving players the option to say something like "Hurry Up" is even more direct that the previous examples, and even with a mute option, should you really have to mute someone or turn off emotes all together just because you play inherently slower, have a slow connection, or any other myriad of reasons because someone else is spamming "Hurry Up"? Also imagine that this is every single game... Your player experience just goes to garbage at that point.

I don't think anyone has such a bad internet connection today, to lag in games like this...
I often play using my cellular internet connection (4G) when I am not at home, and I never had any issues, so I don't really know what internet speed does one need to have to lag in such a game. Even if such a connection exists, it shouldn't be more than 2% of players that play with such circumstances. So 98% of people who are stalling are either being idiots (deliberately doing that) or they aren't paying attention (doing something else or whatever). Either way, they deserve a "Hurry up!"

#

Not to exeggarate, let's say the ratio is 80% - 20%. It's unfair for the 80% of situations where someone deserves a "hurry up" that we can't communicate this just because of the 20% who legitimately can't make their turn faster

I play at the pace I feel I need to play at. I try to think ahead and generally do not use the entire clock. However, there are times in a game when the entire clock is needed, or you are deciding between multiple good options, or you are communicating with allies about “attacking the red player” when you may need most or all of your clock. If people started spamming “hurry up” I would most likely ignore them. If someone’s generally speed of play (taking the entire clock way more than necessary) bothers you, I suggest starting a Do Not Play List. That way while the game you are currently in won’t change… you will know not to play them in the future for your own enjoyment. Just a suggestion.
