I just... I wound up hosting for a bit, and a player by the name âDad of 3â came in to join my game
He was... well. Clueless is an understatement. When I say he has no idea what was going on, I mean the second round he was in he SLAMMED the alarm button and said âmy screen said imposter what does that meanâ
âIt means youâre the bad guy this time, dad,â We explained. âBut next time try and keep it secret, okay?â
The next round, he killed another player right in front of me and immediately self-reported.
âI got my first kill,â he said.
âGood job, dad!â we all replied. âYouâre getting itâ
He was so proud, next round, when he helped us catch the killer. And we were proud for him. He was trying so hard.
His kids showed him the game, he said â âLook dad a memeâ â so he was playing it for them.
âWhatâs susâ he had to ask. âIs it inappropriate?â âNo dad. Itâs short for suspicious, because suspicious is a lot to type.â âWhatâs gg?â âIt means good gameâ âok. Thank u. ggâ
Two rounds later, he slammed the alarm again. âMy map looks different,â he said. âThere are buttons on itâ
âThat means youâre the bad guy again, dad. You push them to sabotage us. Try it outâ
We spent that round watching Dad of 3 gleefully pop in and out of vents at random and press all the buttons just to see what they did
âHave you killed anyone yet dad?â âNo. It feels strange.â âItâs okay. Itâs just a game. You can kill us if you want to practice.â
He was trying so hard. I donât know if heâd ever even played a video game before, but he was trying so hard to understand this thing his kids enjoyed, and my little group of strangers was doing our best to help him get there.
Iâm so proud of that random fatherâs effort, and Iâm proud of all the other players who were so willing to help him learn.
Then out of nowhere he was gone. Mid-round, Dad of 3 vanished to a bad connection, and Iâm legitimately sad. Iâd hoped weâd get the chance to play a round for real, and Iâd have liked the chance to wish him luck and say goodbye.
But since I canât do that, Iâm throwing this into the void: I hope you have a nice time, Dad of 3, and I hope we were able to help you learn so you can have fun with your kids.
Good luck out there, buddy.
