Leeroy Jenkins and the American way of advising

[Fuchs]

The video is so funny because he chose the worst imaginable place to be uncooperative and overly aggressive. A single player can 'wipe' (kill) his whole team in that place because that place requires maximum discipline. A single wrong step can kill the whole team.

I think that's a poor analogy for advising because a single poor adviser doesn't have that great secondary effect.

The use of the Leeroy Jenkins character in the original text of that Captain was a work of genius, though. It guaranteed a high level of attention.

This may be a little off topic but useful none the less. Another gaming analogy to consider. This youtube clip features a hacker using a soundboard to mimic the player in this game who is responsible for giving out strike orders. It is a good example of disruption and its effect on group cohesion. The first 2.30 is good to watch.

"Time's up. Leeeeeeeerooy Jenkins"

I'd beg to differ, based off what I've seen. Especially if said advisor is the MiTT chief.

Personally, I'm all for a few more Leeeeeerrrrooy Jenkins and a little less ".33 repeating of course.. Pretty good plan... Oh my g@d! Stick to the plan!"

No plan survives the orders process and work within the chaos, not against it!
