While my name is Mr. Moundshroud, you can call me Moundshroud, Mound, or Shroud if you are into the whole brevity thing. The hours reflected here are just with this alt, i.e. my main one. I do stream under another name, but I don't build up my followers in the traditional way. You will never see TTV at the end of the Alts I use to gather content. I'd rather the games be played fresh and without baggage. I would advise against cheating, whether it is by hacks or lag spikes. As I said, I'm a streamer and every game is recorded. It would also behoove you to hold your salt. Good manners cost you nothing, and you will look much better in content being a good sport. Salty, angry folks make great content and get me viewers. If you are truly angry at me, why would you want to get me more subscribers?

My philosophy of the game is simple; I play to win. I play within the rules. If it is allowed by the rules, it is fair game. I will not judge you for any tactic within the rules, and I would prefer that you afford me the same courtesy. If you are tilted, remember the old saying, "it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than open one's mouth and remove all doubt." Silence makes a more mature impression than salt. You could be a good sport and simply say GG at the end whether you are happy or not. That makes you look like an adult. Fake it until you make it.

Lastly, a simple truth about life (and video games) that I have discovered is that you learn more from your failures and losses than you do your victories. I've gotten pretty good in my small niche of this game, but there are still bad matches, bad games, days when I just can't do anything right. Sometimes you get outplayed. Sometimes you just aren't feeling it. When I lose I go back and study why. I own that loss. I take credit for it just as I would for a win. Blaming it on others is avoiding taking the real steps required to get better for next time. We lie best when we lie to ourselves. Remember that, and do your best to be honest with yourself if with no one else. It is the only way to get better at DbD. You do not have power over the actions of others in this game, but you do have power over yourself.
