Psychology Warfare

Post by Ysh »

Note: Some people may not discussing such things to save stats from prying eyes, this is what I understand. I can believe if you want to remain vague in discussion.

I have been do some thinking about warring strategies for if I ever have to go man to man with savages, as they say. I was consider to do some things like place signpost near my (If defender) or enemy (If attacker) base. These signpost can indicate to the opponent that I am only playing the game naked (in actual life). I think this can make me seem to be more wild and primal and with causing intimidation.

Does these strategies works you think? Have any of you used psychology warfare or have it used on you? I am interested in your story. Thanks you.

if someone told me they were playing naked in real life id just laugh and go about my day, after destroying the sign they left.
Newbie and noob do not mean the same thing.

Neither do figuratively and literally.

It is hard to have diarrhea on demand for me. Do you have tips on diet? I think this tactic is quite messy and only good in emergency situation except for very hardcore player.

Appearing strong or weaker than you will misled threat's reaction to you. When in danger, there is a chance (but don't rely on it) to take advantage of both of these. Appearing too weak and the enemies may make mistakes on their attack from being sloppy, appearing too strong may cause fear to affect their actions or even being too intimidating or "not worth it" to engage you in the first place.

On the converse side, being well liked or charismatic or can help deter attacks from you in the first place. If you are cool with others, manage to make them laugh very well. They may decide not to attack you. I can't really call it psychological warfare as it is not really fighting but it is within the field of the mind.

There are more I can go on with but I don't want to spill the beans on everything I know.
