Do you guys consider yourself to be a sociable person? Why do you think people are so standoffish?

there's also a point where ripping into someone either when you're voted out or when you're jurying just makes you look like a bitter b*tch that's incapable of losing and that's a real quick way to lose a ton of respect

if u say "Just so you know, if you cut me, I'm not going to work with you in the future!" you're literally saying "if you betray me in this one game i will never work with you again" which is meta-ing which is sh*tty don't do that

Not necessarily. "not going to work with you in the future" is not necessarily saying "I'm going to meta you in every other game." I am definitely open to working with this new player in the future, so I would not say it's meta. If it was meta, I would've said I'm not going to work with you in future GAMES, however, I can understand how you could interpret that from what I said.

To add on to my point, if you strongly feel that someone else should win the game, talk about their strong points instead of tearing other people's games down. The other person worked hard to get to FTC, they should be respected for that.

You have to remember that it's just a game. Also, try and remember that although it might feel fun to tear into someone's game at FTC, it honestly just isn't worth it. I know from experience (when I did it in an ORG and I wholly regret it), and after an experience a few months later, I know what its like to be in a FTC where you don't feel like you have much of a chance and people still tell you over and over how bad your game was. They spent a lot of time on the game, and they're very likely very proud of what they've accomplished, even if they KNOW they're not winning. Just my 2 cents.
