Joined an LFG team for the Oryx CP.
Nothing out of the ordinary upon joining the chat. Mature voices, everyone sounding pretty chilled. Always a good sign. Upon arriving in the arena, the host tells me we're just waiting for our relic runner, who went AFK right before I joined. He's a 311 Titan, but the host assured me he was a decent runner. We were running the 8 and 8 strat, and I was to take plate one.
That's when I hear it. Distant, but still clearly audible.
"[i]Mom! I'll do it after![/i]"
The shrill, obnoxious voice grows in volume as the foul beast gets closer to its mic.
"[i]No! I said I'll do it after![/i]".
A loud scratching sound emanates through the chat as the squeaker's sticky fingers fumble with the headset.
"[i]K guys, I'm back! My Mom said I gotta go soon! So we have to kill Owyx fast! K?[/i]".
My hearts sinks, but I decide to stick it out. After clearing the initial adds, I notice our prepubescent 311 Titan browsing his inventory. Oryx slams the front left plate.
"[i]K guys! I'm changing to the Twilight Gawwison! Just so I can get to the welic faster![/i]".
I hear another fireteam member snicker.
The squeaker and I leap to the first plate. "One's up". It jumps to the first interdimensional platform, activates the exotic chestpiece's evade, gets propelled clear over the boundary wall and falls screaming into the abyss..
*Guardian Down*
"[i]OMG! What the hell! Someone got off their pwate![/i]"
[b]RoseScythe has left the Fireteam[/b]
Is edit: Just felt like sharing a tale with you fellow guardians. A tale of hard choices. Of paths taken. I hope you all enjoyed it. Cheers :)

This story is great , relatable and just well presented . 10/10
-
Technically you didn't raid with him since you never finished it, the title doesn't speak the truth
-
Glad I never picked up a mic until I was 16, probably saved some guys some trouble.
-
8.5/10 Wanted more.

Hey, you win some you lose some. I've had my fair share of bad squeakers and good squeakers. But on my most recent flawless run I did play with a squeaker but at least he listened and did his best as most do not do any of those things.
-
I can so relate, but what is exactly this 8 8 strat?
-
In my experience, many squeakers are actually very good at this game, though obviously it's a little weird to play with children so young. I prefer not to play with them, but I respect their skill. (If, in fact, they have any)
-
Dammit that was funny!
-
Sorry for your ears. Rip.
-
Once I saw the "beast coming closer", I just started laughing. My brother plays with those kinds of people every day. So annoying...

Sometimes adults have the same issue. The phone rings or the internet fails, or they're just a crap player. I'm 44, with 1100 hours in Destiny, and there are a lot of kids out there who are better than me.

[b]coughs[/b] Damn, that sucks lol. I had a kid join my group for Oryx Hard CM. He managed to do everything flawlessly, and we got it on the first try.

Read the title without the word with...
-
It you are doing it as a chore and not to have fun then go ahead and leave. But you must not think it's any fun or you would be happy enough just going with the flow and having a few laugh.

Edited by F GGY TIME: 1/20/2016 9:25:27 PMNo such thing as online gaming when I was a squeaker. Was just me and Mario 64
-
Anyone read the Squeaker lines with the voice of DPJ?
-
Sad thing is this squeaker is higher light level than my own main character and has actually run a Raid.....
-
Are you sure that the squeaker wasn't Elmer Fudd? Sure sounds like how he talks! Kill Owyx,............Kill the Wabbit

Hilarious

So me and my friend join Crota there was a high level 29(main character) and and a 30 and 2 31s and us At 32 we stayed and struggled a bit my friend being sword bearer we take him down in orbit it was something like this. Slightly drunken and high no one wanted to be the sword guy and I stepped up and shot him and wacked him and he fell over.

Edited by Antic Archon: 1/20/2016 11:24:19 PMWhat is it in young children not being able to pronounce 'r' and sometimes 'l' right? It was never a problem for me.

Out at "Owyx" and then "Welic"!
