STOP SHOUTING HELP WITH NO CONTEXT

THAT'S IT

Oh, there's so many good things to do with your radio, too.

Calling out the specific direction of the contact, the last location you were at, and what you recognise when calling out for help, and just generally being concise.

Saying "HEEEEELP"

As opposed to "Fuck, they've got me at 'x location'!"

It's easy to see which is better.

Screaming in all caps also makes you look like a retard, so don't do that unless it's SUPER important. ( Certain SL's love screeching in all caps. )

I can't agree.

When person starts screaming like this:
zskninoh wrote:"HEEEEEEEEEELP"
"HEEEEEEEEEELP"
"FUCKING HELP ME BALDIE SCRUBS"
I start feeling sudden urgent to find this person and shoot him to death myself. Which is a good motivation for a search party.
