Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon where members of a cohesive group prioritize consensus and unanimity over realistic appraisal of alternatives, leading to poor, irrational, or dangerous decisions. It occurs in highly cohesive groups under pressure, characterized by symptoms like illusions of invulnerability, moral superiority, direct pressure to conform, and suppression of dissent, which collectively undermine critical thinking and lead to flawed outcomes.
Causes of Groupthink
Cohesiveness: A strong sense of unity can make group members overly invested in maintaining harmony, even at the expense of critical evaluation.
Structural Faults: Ineffective leadership that discourages dissent, lack of clear procedures for decision-making, and isolation from outside opinions can create an environment ripe for groupthink.
Situational Context: High-pressure situations and time constraints can exacerbate tendencies toward groupthink, as the need for a quick decision overrides careful deliberation.
Symptoms of Groupthink
Illusions of Invulnerability and Morality: The group believes it cannot fail and is inherently right, leading to excessive optimism and a dismissal of ethical considerations.
Rationalization: The group ignores warnings or contradictory information that could challenge its assumptions.
Stereotyping Out-groups: Dissenters or opposing groups are viewed as weak, incompetent, or biased, making their ideas easy to dismiss.
Direct Pressure to Conform: Members who voice dissenting opinions face pressure to remain silent and conform to the group's consensus.
Self-Censorship: Individuals may refrain from expressing doubts or ideas that deviate from the group's consensus.
Illusion of Unanimity: Silence is often interpreted as consent, further reinforcing the belief that everyone agrees.
Consequences of Groupthink
Poor Decision-Making: The group fails to consider alternatives, evaluate consequences, or seek expert opinions.
Lack of Creativity and Innovation: Divergent thinking is discouraged, leading to a reduction in new perspectives and solutions.
Increased Risk-Taking: Overconfidence and a belief in the group's invulnerability can lead to reckless and overly optimistic decisions.
How to Prevent Groupthink
Encourage Dissent: Foster a judgment-free environment where members feel safe to express differing opinions and critical views.
Assign a Devil's Advocate: A designated member can challenge the group's ideas, acting as a devil's advocate to explore potential flaws and negative outcomes.
Seek External Input: Involve individuals or groups outside the core decision-making body to provide fresh perspectives.
Leader Neutrality: The group leader should avoid stating their preferences early on, allowing members to form their own opinions.

you tell people to go kill themselves. You tell people to go hurt themselves, To fuck off.
You guys didnt listen to me about RoL, and I called out the Pedos that I'd kick some ass.

So whats the terms here, lan, no hands, or fights, no bullshit.
Can we establish that?

I'm not putting a hand on anyone at lan. I wont defend myself. Any idiot that swings at me I'll take it.
I'm moving forward. You guys can enjoy whats left of this day. -tWiTcH

also would be nice if they updated names on here. But I guess the staff are lazy.

I wanna date Tagg.

I want wonder to be SPAWN, in the shadows, doesn’t always show up, but when he’s needed he’s a monster
Sam and Twitch always was on his side, its probably my favorite idea for a backup character

Yes

Go for it. Any update? Sorry to bump, was hoping to switch that, and whenever I get verified do the same w/ RGL

And Wonder is our backup. Because he is, well, Wonderful.

Can you change my name to Twitch, I’m making a ultiduo team for UGC, and it’s going to be my final gamer tag.
Black Box Brock, aka Trinity,

But they call me Twitch.

Because they will squirm when I beat the shit out of you in TF2.

I’m Twitch now.

Yo bro, after 30 days, me and Ethan are gunna make our new team, for UGC Ultiduo, it’s going to be called Spawn.
Ethan my Sam, and I’m his Twitch.

Whenever you get things rolling bud, we will come back and play, I also told the guys in RGL Invite, that I’m taking a break for a year, in exchange for being able to submit my ban appeal, because after that I’m interested in running and funding RGL Prolander out of my own pocket.

Sounds like we got two options, the Devil and God.
That means option 1 is destroyed, said me, Twitch.

In theory, we could essentially boost the economy.
Potentially, stop World War 3, not just that, but Ghosts… its Silent War, a very Cold War, is coming to an end? I can’t say fersure, but with this post I have essentially stopped the very destruction of the entire freaking Earth.

If anyone wants to add me to ask about poltergeists, ghosts or that shit, please, take me ear(s).
