Rituals before WoWs session

[Blixies]

 Hello Caps,
Share your rituals before starting your WoWs session, or even a single game in this thread!

I like to stroke my shaggy beard (selfie related) three times for luck before jumping into a battle. If my wife is available, I ask her instead. Tbh she grew tired of it fairly quickly, so lately, I'm just stroking myself.

 

One of my mates likes to have a shot of Slivovitz before every third game, that worsks fairly well for him as well.

What is your ritual?

Spoiler

I used to do that as well, but I'm trying to get rid of the green Devil :)

Mine is actually at the end of a session - I always leave the ship I had the best game in selected in port.

That's pretty cool, I like that!

I usually start with launching the client

I always start the session in my Yubari, if I win I know I'm going to have a fairly good day, if I lose I cry

The Machine Spirit guards the knowledge of the ancients. Flesh is fallible, but ritual honours the Machine Spirit. To break with ritual is to break with faith.

Depends on the hour of the day I launch the game.

Early session is a coffee must ritual

Late sessions is the psssh sound of my beer getting opened.

Fresh coffee or cold beer makes me rly relaxed.

Some raging will occur.....but waaaay less frequently.

I sacrifice a chicken and beg RNG for good teammates, less lemmingtrains, more minimap awareness....

But also i prepare my list of all insults besides me, in case RNG is ignoring and laughing at me

I mentally prepare myself for the inevitable raging hatred I'll have for my teammates.

@Blixies *criesduetolackoffacialhair*  epic pirate beard tho.

My ritual usually consists of supplying myself with enough food and drinks to last for at least a week or so before starting off with lower tiers for shameless sealclubbing to get the necessary confidenceboost to endure high tier shenanigans.

Who do you sacrifice the chicken to though? There is only one worthy deity for such sacrifice, you know?

Thanks matey!

The lower tier excersize actually sounds pretty useful, gotta try that.

By preparing myself to leave some teammates intentionally without air cover when I play CVs.

On an unrelated note, how does your profile GIF have 200 Kb? The limit is 100 Kb for me! What trickery is this?

I wish to be represented by a higher quality moving picture of Tim Curry :(

Interesting. 

For me:

Step 1, a shot of šlivovica, unless playing russian ships then its vodka, for relaxation puropses of course 

Step 2, polish the mouse (so it glides smoother). 

Step 3, start playing. 

Step 4, buy a new keyboard due to unforseen results

I like the steps 1 and 4 the most :)

I too like to empty my nasal cavities before play.
That way, when someone calls me a mouthbreather, I can reply with all honesty "no u"
