So.. Just raided with a squeaker.
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 :)
Knight is run.

Edited by JayDoli: 1/20/2016 5:08:42 PMI joined a LFG team for my first Crota Hard last year. We were wating for the swordbearer and when he shows up its a squeaker. We got that shit done on the first try after he and the others explained the diffrences between normal and hard and what to do to me.

Don't be afraid of them. Most that I have come across are extremely reliable and capable. They look up to you/us. I play regularly with my ten year old son and some of his friends. I will admit one thing though. At 10 years old it is very easy to talk and get off topic in a hurry. That crowd type I will avoid, but I try to give them all a chance.

I think everyone has been in this position before. It's unfortunate that this has become something that is the norm.

21 RepliesEdited by Prism: 1/20/2016 4:36:21 PMYou know I'm 26 but my voice isn't that perfect but half the times I raid is at night since my father is sleeping I can't talk and I always get the raid done flawless. Yet I didn't say a beep rather then messaging what position I go, it's so much quieter and peaceful not talking at all long as you know what you doing.

Even though in past situations you were a dick, if I had yelled at my mom like that my 360 would be gone so fast.

I laughed so hard at this!

Dear destiny diary.... Muted.

well children will be childish, its bad tho i know

I don't judge raiders by age. Some kids are better at raid mechanics than adults I've played with. That being said, my mom would've kicked my ass if I told her I was too busy playing video games to do what she asked.

He doesn't know how to use the Garrison... what a skreb

Annoying as that is, to be fair idiocy & loud background noise/yelling are not squeaker exclusives. LFG gives them in all age groups & nationalities.

Oh gawd, Im sorry man

Edited by TheWolffe104: 1/20/2016 3:47:59 PMI dont know what the issue is; I once did the raid with one other american and four mexicans. We didnt speak spanish, and only one of the mexicans spoke English, until one of them discovered he could speak english too.

Joined one for nightfall kept giving running commentary and refused to shoot at certain parts kept saying i will hang back and cover behind even when no enemies spawn

1 ReplyLol, I was pretty dialed in. That's some good imagery. I normally don't run the relic, but on the sisters part, when I randomly am torn and am using my titan, I don't really see the need to use Twilight Garrison? The raid boots give a boost to agility. :/

id have done the same

Needs more work.
