Firstly, I’m not saying that WL’s are bad or anything like that, I think that WL’s are cool and can add a lot to the game. But why do people care so damn much about getting them? It’s not like you need them to play the game, and even if you get them, congratulations! You now have a whole lot of new problems:
-
Synth: This probably is the most harsh WL to play. If you’re still innocent when you get it, you will be absolutely heartbroken by the fact that you will be a Surgerybot 9000 for 80% of the time. You will also be player reported for the most minor inconvenience that happens in a game.
-
Pred: You must have a cold head and can separate the game from reality if you get this WL. Pred players as a whole get a lot of heavy shit said about them in OOC, and individually you get mocked by other preds (although it’s just their RP) and players.
-
CO: I don’t know what to say about CO, except that marines will blame you for everything. Also being called to listen to the appeal of John Mcgriefer 1000 while hydro is falling doesn’t sound great either.
Everything I’ve said in here came from experiences in-game, or from what I’ve heard from WL’d people, and since I don’t have any of the WLs myself there’s a chance that everything that I said here might be absolutely wrong LOL
