Introduction
This guideline is made by qazlll456 for concluding the sequence of ideas about leading in CSGO zombie escape mode. After over 1000 hours played time to become a zombie escape leader, I decided to conclude everything that I used and learned by was I am a zombie escape leader.
Unorth is a person that inspired me to start leading, by his legendary skills, he is a trustworthy and reliable leader and friend. I have learned some zombie escape leader skills from him, so his name should be honoured here for all the good reason.
Divider area is used in the article for a better reading experience.
This guideline will be divided into six-part:
- Vocabulary
- Leading preparation
- The moment before you leading
- During leading
- After leading
- Summary
========================================
Above is the introduction.
Next is the section of Vocabulary.
========================================
Vocabulary
Since this is a guideline for a specialized area, explain the special word in the guideline is necessary.
1. CSGO:
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) expands upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 19 years ago.
[ https://store.steampowered.com/app/730/CounterStrike_Global_Offensive/]
2. Zombie Escape Mode:
The main goal of the zombie escape map, other than having a good time and a lot of fun, is to escape as a human from the zombies. This sounds very basic and simple, but in practice it requires a lot of teamwork (coordinated or not), good aiming skill, experience, knowledge of the map and your equipment and ultimately your timings between cover and escaping.

3. Zombie Escape Mode Leader:
The person guides other individuals to a safe place.
========================================
Above is the section of Vocabulary.
Next is the section of Leading preparation.
========================================
Leading preparation
The Leading preparation is talking everything that you can do before you take the lead, it involves different area, so even you are not qualified in one area, and you can work on other areas that you are capable.
Hardware requirement
This is a reality requirement, it is all about money. A full-power computer for gaming is pretty expensive these days. Decrease graphics quality to increase gameplay performance is very common these days. In other words, you need to see a terrible, low, ugly object in the game to get high fps.
Fortunately, CSGO zombie escape mode is a game does not require a lot of hardware requirement to play. Even the player choose to connect to a server is located on the other side world and a player can still capable to play and chat.
There are many websites describes much good gaming computer should be, for example, “The best gaming PC 2019: 10 of the top gaming desktops you can buy”[https://www.techradar.com/news/computing/pc/10-of-the-best-gaming-pcs-you-can-buy-in-2015-1304263]
The suggestion from here will be “you on your own” and “bear the cost you can”, a computer, a screen, a keyboard, a mouse, a mic and a headphone.
Speaking sound quality
This is a personal or microphone issue or both.
The microphone issue will be talking your mic physically or the sound setting on your computer. The microphone quality could be too high to become over quality or too low to unable to use. A over quality microphone can hear your background sound clearly to disturbed other players. A lower quality microphone will pronounce noise annoy people.
The personal issue is talking about a man speaking speed, pronouncing, grammar and logic.
Here are some tips from “Top tips for developing speaking skills — British Council” [chrome-extension://oemmndcbldboiebfnladdacbdfmadadm/https://www.britishcouncil.in/sites/default/files/posters_1.pdf],
I selected two tips that I prefer the most from the report.
Be confident
“Be confident when you speak. Try not to hesitate. Don’t worry too much about what other people think.”
Pronounce your words correctly
“Practise consonant sounds which are difficult for speakers of your first language. Practise pronouncing them loudly and clearly. Think about your tongue, teeth and airflow.”
There is much reason that these two reasons have chosen from the report.
Be confident is very important in a place full of people come from the world, good person and bad person, but the most, it is full of silence person. They actually don’t care what you have spoken, they may don’t even know what you are talking about. Because they don’t speak the language you are speaking. A mistake will be often coming up when you at the beginning section. It is a status to everyone will happen.
Pronounce your words correctly is necessary as a leader. All other people rely on you. When you speak it wrong, speak it incorrectly and let other people misunderstand what you had spoken, it will cause a serious effect which is losing the game. Your accent isn’t your problem. You don’t need to care your accent when you able to communicate with others. But clearly, your accent problem is not the same as pronouncing.
Here is a TED Talk video talk about English speaking, From the Speaker “Heather Hansen”.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dum2Z4B3js]
For other languages e.g. Spanish, please refer to your own school class when you learn as a child.
Or, Duolingo [https://www.duolingo.com/]
Relationship with other players
Help from the others is very important, I would state some example here for a good situation when you are the leader.
Example 1: More than 10 men support your leadership and speak loud wanted you to become the leader.
Example 2: There is no other person here wanted to lead.
Example 3: The admin won’t stop your leading and help you stop others interrupt you.
So, the opposite and bad situation for you will be as follow:
Example 1: No one support you to be the leader.
Example 2: There is a person/group of people stand out to disagree or even against you to be the leader.
Example 3: The admin will stop you by mute you or anything to stop you.
A leader is nothing without an audience. If the leader leading group of people, it is a flexible place.
About becoming a leader:
- No one can stay forever
- No one needs to stay forever
- Don’t make a person stay forever
- Change the leader when you needed
- And respect other people who are the leader
No one has to listen to anyone, everyone feels free to do whatever they want, whenever they want and wherever they want. Don’t force anyone to listen to any leader,
Obey Causality, someone did stupid things, he deserves to die. We are never able to wake people up when they fake sleep.
Audience acceptance of a leader
How important you are?
A simple test can help you.
- Become the leader.
- Stop speaking instantly at one point.
- Check how many people die / when people start dying after you are silencing.
When you are needed to most, people will die immediately the moment you silence.
When no one needed you, no one even notices you are silencing.
Some complicated case will be just a few people died and difficult to know that these people died is it count on you.
This table can apply to a theory from me; to measure a leader performance and ability, use a percentage of the living after the round win to identify. When a leader almost every time only he survival, equally mean he abandon everyone around him. So, on the other hand; when a leader can maintain the living percentage from the beginning, it is a good leader since from the beginning.
There one especially case I want to point out, there is a type of leader will help their self and their friends, and not included others. Sometimes you may survival as a “side effect”, but their main purpose of leading wasn’t to save you, it is the man “talking” and their friends.
========================================
Above is the section of Leading preparation.
Next is the section of The moment before you leading.
========================================
The moment before you leading
Observe a suitable time for you and others. Do not force yourself or others to become a leader. When your suggestion will affect him, he could receive bad consequences from being a leader, you or anyone should not force anyone to do something they don’t want it.
Seek for the right time to lead
3 Factor in a game that can measure; Map, player and leader.
In this list, as a multiple option list, it can drive to many results.
The best situation here will be ”03579”, when you know the route, people know, love and recommend you become the leader. Also, you have no sickness affected you to speak.
The worst situation here will be “12468”, when you don’t know the route, people don’t know, love and don’t recommend you become the leader. Also, you have sickness or tired affected you to speak.
Claim to be a leader
Legitimacy, justifiability and official leader place are necessary. Especially when you have no power except talking.
Most of the server right now able to claim to be the leader, after you claimed, the official staff should help you to verify you are the only one who speaking and leading. So, if you don’t claim, the word from you is more than a “suggestion” more than a “command”. Besides, others can interfere with you, such as saying completely opposite things from you, at this moment, there are not much to do to convince people why you are trustable.
The first group of people should help you is the administrator, they have the right to maintain the official leader leadership. When you claimed to be the leader and if the administrator didn’t help you at this point, the legitimacy of the leader will be questioning for all people. People may even think is this server care the leader? Why even the official leader will be interfered by the bad player?
The second group of people should help you is the people who are listening to you, over here, the reality is weird, there are 3 groups of people exist here, the people always listen to the leader, the people always don’t listen to the leader, and the people always listen to anyone speaking. A more strange issue will be all these 3 groups of people can divide into a dominant group and a recessive group.
“Good player” means good to leader leadership. But “Good player” does not mean skilful or professional, as a teamwork game, the “Bad player” make his own decision and harm others to protect his own fun or life is a danger to others. If a person messes up and fixes his own fail, stop blame him because he repaired the situation.
Do not interfere with any other leader
It is a situation talking about that you shall respect other people that are leading right now. Until he dies in the game or leaves, you shouldn’t put your decision over others that are listening to the official leader.
Let other people can blame him completely when he failed when you interfere, his responsibility is spilt to you since you didn’t let him lead completely, he got a gap to Slip away his own failures.
On the other hands, honour him when he leads completely and didn’t make any mistake to save everyone.
========================================
Above is the section of The moment before you leading.
Next is the section of During leading.
========================================
During leading:
Create uniqueness of a leader
It is custom style, you maybe have your own stuff to lead people to recognize you to accept you. For example, your tone, word.
Moreover, how do you do to play a game and help others?
You need to know what people can do, and what people can’t do.
One ridiculous example, you want 60 men in the server dodge laser successfully. Knowing people limit and play the right map fit for them. If you don’t fit the minimum required of a map, you can’t win. There is no clear standard of a minimum required of all map when you can the map once, it mean you fit the minimum, why it is minimum even you can win once? Because when you are better, you suppose to win the same map you just won over and over again.
There is a very weird phenomenon come very often, it is that people can’t win the map they just won a few minutes ago, in this situation, you can consider these group of people at that moment, lack of stamina.
Be well known of environment
Environment involved multiple objects: Enemy, ally, props, ground, key, doors, gate, and secret things.
You should know that what is the best things lead you to win and to live. As far as I know only “LOTR Mines of Moria” need people to sacrifice to win. All other maps should able to win all together and has no excuse to kill people to win.
Except it is a new map, otherwise, you should know the base of the route, such as how many and which kind of item existed.
In addition, special things on the map, since it is special or secret, you don’t know is not a shame, it may not clear to have a guideline to use any item in all map. It involved experience. When to use, where to use, target place is totally different.
Identify loyalty player and toxic player
4 type of people, obviously loyalty player, hidden loyalty player, obviously toxic player and hidden toxic player.
First, let define loyalty player, loyalty does not mean skilful, experiencing or professional. Since this is a team-based game, let us ignore all the exception case of people don’t need to follow and still pass through, a leader may demand people to follow his custom strategy to go thought. For example, want a healer heal at the door.
Second, the definition of a toxic player will be purposefully or accidentally kills people. Intend is unimportant when the result involved dead. The toxic player had morally responsible, it got several ways that the toxic player kills people, for example, from purposefully edged inside the bunker let enemy kills him and then kill all other people inside it; accidentally used item blocked the escape way and everyone dies.
Third, announce anyone being toxic or toxic people out loud. You probably see them, but others loyalty player didn’t notice. They may too focus on defending or new to the map. Also, you may not able to stop it immediately or can’t stop them. Then, save the most as you can and let go about the people are going to die.
You are not god. If God exists, why would he see people die when they believed him? Probably you trust the wrong god/ the god doesn’t want to protect you/ there is no god.
Welcome to polytheism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytheism] world. Since your god you trust don’t respond to you, do you want to try some new god?

- Taoism [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taoism]
- Shinto [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinto]
Observe and control skilful player
I Made two diagram to explain this topic.
The X-axis represents the Skill level of people uses their gun skills, The Y-axis represents 1 Teammate individual. The circle in the diagram is to make it obvious to see the area. It can simply mean the rank level of CSGO competitive level. Sliver, nova, eagle and global.
Assuming:
Case 1: You have a teammate as the diagram represents with different skill level. What do you suggest they do for your team?
Case 2: What are the best things to do from their view and what is the best things for the team?
It conducts differently by different people, it has no clear answer.
I divided 5 levels of skills of zombie escape. From the top “dodge laser”, High Parkour”, “Low Parkour”, Double jump” and “Normal jump”. Actually, there is one secret level, named “totally new” on the bottom line.
Cannikin Law(木桶原理)
[ https://wiki.mbalib.com/zh-tw/%E6%9C%A8%E6%A1%B6%E5%8E%9F%E7%90%86]
There is no English version I can found, the translation from me will be “A barrel value is defined as the water it can contain. But the key factor to design how many waters it contains is not the longest board, it is the shorter board. Which mean the Shorter part of any organization is the limit of what it can be done.”
The “shorter part” can be represented as a person or a group of people in an organization, for example, the weakest group of people in a game. The “shorter part” is not fit the minimum required performance, such as defending skills, running skills, cover skills, and reaction skills.
In other words, instead of getting a lot of professional players, we should avoid keeps changing the weakest people in a place, and help them improve their skills to maintain our game experience. Because when the strongest player goes to your place to play, they won’t stay, they are coming for any purpose, but the point is they are going to stay temporary, they have no sense of belonging to the place. Always train new player and treat them good. It is the best way to increase the sense of belonging of the new people come to the place that you have a sense of belonging.
Let the audience involve of your decision
I found there 4 stages of human awareness of something.
Obvious agree or hidden agree and obvious disagree or hidden disagree.
First, agree and disagree is a personal choice, we don’t need to care that much why he made the choice, we should care what can we interact with and what is the effect of it.
Prepared explanation
When you in charge, you going to make some decision, how do you lower the impact from the others? There is a presumption here that you are making the right choice and do it right. So, when you ask people, you should already be prepared the explanation of your decision, you should have a full version of why you want people done that. When it is in an emergency case, give a short version explanation to people, once you got a chance, complete and make the full version explanation. Consistent with your statement and accept new evidence to improve.
Self-fulfilling prophecy
Do not base on a conclusion to confirm by backwards method, for example, you assumed this is a hard map, for now, so you decided the team can’t win after you persuade them they can’t win the current map, and then they really lost the game. You have done yourself into a state named “self-fulfilling prophecy”. You assumed yourself can’t win, and then you “work hard” to make yourself lose, and then finally you lost the game as you assumed.
To avoid these such as ridiculous loop, you need to change the perspective.
You can say:
“This is a difficult map, we played a lot of time and still lost, we don’t know what going to happen this time, let’s try!”
“We just played an easy map and turned to this hard map, it is a big change but we can handle it!”
The solution of avoiding “self-fulfilling prophecy” is don’t assume result. Honest to yourself and others, you don’t know the future. Future can be changed by everyone reaction, your skills and knowledge react to other people can create a new effect.
Emergency emotional first aid
The following section is based on the YouTube video “How to practice emotional first aid | Guy Winch” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2hc2FLOdhI)
According to the video, a number of points are concluded.
Reaction of Loneliness
“It makes us believe that those around us care much less than they actually do.”(05:51)
When you fail or made a mistake during the leading, it is easy to blame yourself, every mistake you made, it increased the sad emotion inside your heart. For example, hopeless (“no one can save this team”), anger (“ah, they are very useless”), frustration (“why they can be so low skills”), confuse (“are these people want to win”), jealous (“someone was leading very well, why can’t I do it”), depressed (“I am so useless that can’t even lead this team”).
“But loneliness is defined purely subjectively, it depends solely on whether you feel emotionally or socially disconnected from those around you” (06:16)
Reaction of Failure
According to the video, he used an example when he observed 3 kid playing the same toy in a day-care centre, Kid A, B and C. The toy is a plastic toy that with many buttons, and there is one red button to slide to let a doggie pop out. Kid A tried and fail to do it, and give up with sad feeling. Kid B didn’t even touch and start crying. And the same time, Kid C tried, finally get the dog pop up and end up with happy.
So, three kids here can represent the most type of people we met, the first kind will be tried and failed, the second kind will be don’t even tried and already give up, the last kind will keep trying and win eventually. Everyone definitely capable to succeed, but they set a mindset that they can’t succeed. It sounds familiar because it can call a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Reaction of rejection
Getting rejected is painful, no matter the people reject your lead, or people reject to follow. It is very dangerous to think why people reject you and your amplification your weakness or sadness. Since you can’t stop people to reject you, but you can ignore it and move on.
Protect your self-esteem
I am not an expert to help people create their self-esteem, so, I would like to suggest you go find another outsourced guideline to help you create self-esteem.
Stop re-looping the same emotion
“Self-fulfilling prophecy” can lead to good some time, when you assumed you can win and it does, it will feel double happiness. In order words, you will feel double sadness. Do not rethink the same things, when the emotion came, let it go.
This is hard to change because the thought will come over and over again, the thought will come so deep and hard to you, forcing you to keep thinking about that, in the end, lead you or us to a terrible event to you or to all people.
Immediately decrease anger technology
This is a technique describing how to manage anger from Hong Kong school Liberal education lesson.
- Three “No” in the mind
Three “No” in the mind rule is meant to when you release or handle your emotion must no harm to people, no harm to yourself and no harm to the environment
2. Leave the anger volcano
Temporary leave the person or things that caused anger, go take a deep breath or go wash your face to clean the mind but do mind the attitude and skill when you leave.
3. Self-talking a while
By talking yourself with a peaceful word or believe, remind yourself remain calm. For example, you can say it to yourself that “Although I am angry I can still control my emotion.” Or “I can calm myself.”
4. Think to another way
Everything could have a different thought and it could have a different emotion. If we can think it positively or from other people view, if the result not bad as we thought or people are not thought as we thought that bad, mood can change to well.
========================================
Above is the section of During leading.
Next is the section of After leading.
========================================
After leading:
Everything discussed here should not be related to the leading time, it is a future development. No instant effect, by keep doing these kinds of work, it good for a long-term relationship and the future.
Making good relationship with loyalty player
Thank them
Appreciate other people trusting you at the end of a game, it is very important to let people know they are useful to the game because they don’t realize it. If they don’t realize it, it will decrease the motivation of people on playing here or this game, lead to the result of leaving.
By doing this, I suggest all leader need to point out how useful a person specifically.
For example:
1. [Person A threw a grenade to the bottom of a stair successfully cover a lot of people avoid being dead, the one who saved need to thank him.]
[General scenario use]
2. [Person B risk his life to press the button to open the door and saved us, everyone please thank for that.]
[Zombie escape map — LOTR-Mount doom use]
3. [Person C sacrifice himself to save all of us, everyone type thank in the chat please.]
[Zombie escape map — LOTR-Mine of Moria use]
In other words, a leader should publicly shame a person with detail when he being toxic.
Recognize them
Remember them, it’s not hard, right? Add them as friends.
Connect them
Use a different platform to let people stuck together. For example, discord.
“Time to say goodbye with skype and TeamSpeak” Open a group, invite some friends and have fun together.
Don’t always be the leader
Acceptance of the audience
This part is explaining the status of the audience. Status means the current condition of most people in the group, it is a floating number, and it cannot be definite, because it based on the human mind, one of the uncertain things in the world. The situation will make people have a status, after a period of time, the status will be updated, it can remain or changed but it needs to update, to let people know it is the current status.
I created some status to describe some situation a leader may face.
- Doubt
- Accept
- Trust
- Refuse
- Interfere
Doubt will be the first status a leader must face, no matter it is the first time of his lead, or a person first time to meet him, the doubt will always come at first because everyone doubts everything they have seen the first time is acceptable and common.
At this point, I would like to use two YouTube video to explain how to gain trust.
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVeq-0dIqpk
How to build (and rebuild) trust | Frances Frei
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rAngiiXBAc
Why we get mad — and why it’s healthy | Ryan Martin
I would not use all suggestion from the video, because it is a video about how to be effective in a business situation.
If you are not a leader, and you are looking for a good leader factor, I can introduce one for everyone. To define a leader is it good, by counting how many people live from the beginning to the ending by percentage are following and listening to him.
First Video — How to build trust
The explain section of the video
The first video [How to build (and rebuild) trust | Frances Frei] described a trust triangle represented three-component how trust was built. Authentic, Logic and empathy (03:20). If all component works great, you are highly possible for being trusted.
And the first video also described two triangle model of how you should represent your opinion (07:42).
Method A: [The triangle tip at the bottom.] You provide evidence, example, twist, story or phase, after a long time, then tell your point.
Method B: [The triangle tip at the top.] You straight to the point and then provide evidence when you got time or when it is needed.
Method B is the suggested method. Because Method A got an opportunity that not able to represent fully about your idea if you got cut off before you are done. Instead, method B will allow you to get the credit when you say it first no matter others spoke anything tries to snatch it.
The suggestion section combine with the video
The three-factor of the trust triangle: Authentic, Logic and empathy
Authentic
When you are alone, you can be the most realistic, consistent and happy about yourself. But when you work with others, it can be still easy with many people who like you, the people you stay with can feel the same, do the same and wanted the same things. This is going to be the easiest situation to work or lead with.
However, the world is full of different people, from the base to easiest see the different and the top to see almost impossible to see the difference. From outlook to inside mind, language, state, nation, organization, group, faction, clan and religious, all the category you may find a person is completely different from you, but the most case, you will find people are mostly different from you, after a period of time, you will create a group of people that are small different from you or slightly different from you, in other words, you found some friends.
Logic
It is hard to give any suggestion about logic, it is a long process to create the idea of logic from you grow up to adult, for example, if someone suggests you abandon your religion in a hundred word, you won’t really take it seriously. if you do abandon your current religion, you must take a very long time and consistently leaving, you will not be an instant leaving.
another example, I disagree with the slavery system and climate change is real and hurting us. look to few hundred years ago, no one will agree with me the things they treat it very normal. I may able to persuade the people to trust me, but it must very few and hard to take action.
Be a better man by learning empathy and logic.
According to my favourite Buddha master,
“You need to have great wisdom to have great mercy.”
you need to be smart, to truly save other people. If you are incapable, that you may hurt other people eventually because you don’t know what that is, the best you can do for them or you can’t suggest the best suggestion for them do to themselves.
Empathy
Physical behaviour eventually leads to an emotional result. I admit I am not an expert about emotion, the video follow is suggested for any that not common about empathy or how to do it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DspKSYxYDM
BUILDING EMPATHY: How to hack empathy and get others to care more | Jamil Zaki | TEDxMarin
Second Video — Why we get mad
The explain section of the video
“Anger is a powerful and healthy force in your life.” (02:30)
A small thing like got angry from the men walk slowly in front of you or a big thing like corruption, these are the motivation of a human.
But we need to know why we get mad first and how do we deal with it. To get mad, we mostly are feeling unhappy emotion and unwilling stopped physically. Example be like feel unfair, goals blocked or powerless.
And then we identify the issue is good or bad to ourselves. The same accident will get a different level of anger based on our situation, are we hurry, or we can tolerate without any serious consequences.
The suggestion section combine with the video
As a leader, you may not need to wait you get angry to lead, you possibly go lead when you see people are in danger, or people send a request to you and want you to help them.
Mostly, the situation of everything is fine and smooth, but you may not always want to lead, you may get tired, or you have no mood to lead as a leader, you want to be a player to play relaxed.
The men care the most, he is the most tired. If you can tolerate people dying, they die because misunderstand, they die because of all toxic player, they die because of fake information and everyone lose the game, then you probably won’t do anything to help anyone and lose together every round.
According to the video, this is a provocation lure you fulfil justice, you may not feel anger when innocent people died, you may not feel anger too when stranger died. Meanwhile, you may feel anger when your friends died. Ultimately, you definitely feel anger when you died.
When you feel anger, does it make you want to do something? The fight-or-flight response is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or threat to survival. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fight-or-flight_response)
During the game, the flight action can simply explain as leaving. On the other hand, the fight action is multiple options, as a leader, you can lead your follower to fight together. As an experienced player, you can tell the correct information to other people, as a skilful player, you can use your skill knowledge to help, hide, hit, anything to help others.
Give people a choice
Sometimes, you want to lead, but you are unable to do it. Maybe someone is already leading, most people refusing anyone lead, a group of person keep chatting blocking the voice chat, etc. Please accept the reality that you missed the opportunity of being a leader. You need to stop insisting wanted to be a leader, otherwise, you only make yourself more shameful.
The bystander effect and helper effect
The reason this part is placing “After leading” section instead of “Leading preparation”, it is because I define this part as a tool to analyse your leadership and the relationship with people, you won’t know it before the first time you lead and the place you first time to lead.
The bystander effect
The bystander effect, or bystander apathy, is a social psychological claim that individuals are less likely to offer help to a victim when other people are present. (Bystander effect — Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect)
The helper effect
The guideline suggests that when an individual (the “helper”) provides assistance to another person, the helper may benefit. (Helper theory — Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helper_theory)
The environment with a group of random people
There is a very rare chance to have the same group of people from the last game or from the next game. In other words, every day, every round could play with different people, some people maybe you had seen them before, they are your friends or the people you feel familiar with, these people are not the target of this section, since you know them, you should already know who they are and what they do the most. You friend or the people you feel familiar with will know you too at the same time, if you already become a leader before, they will know you understand the play area, how to win with the team, so, they will not interrupt you or anyone is leading and play together.
On the other hand, some people are new, they may be the first time playing with you, they could be the first time playing in this place and they could be the first time playing this game mode, they are the group of people will be affected by the bystander effect and helper effect. Let me define a word, for now, to explain this situation simply, “these unknown individuals”.
According to this table, 4 situations are coming out, no leader is leading to win or lose, and the leader is leading to win or lose.
Situation 1:
When there is no leader leading and people keep losing.
Situation 2:
When there is no leader leading and people can win.
Situation 3:
Where there is the leader leading people and he leads people to death.
Situation 4:
Where there is the leader leading people and he leads people to victory.
Exception case about leader wrong decision
4 stage about 4 levels of responsibility:
- No responsibility at all — 0%
- Low responsibility — 25%
- Medium responsibility — 50%
- High responsibility — 75%
- Full responsibility — 100%
By defining the responsibility of the leader decision, the follower can see how much how the decision is involved by the follower himself. For example, directions command. The leader told you to go to the left side and all of you were dead, in this situation, the leader is full responsibility. Another example, Restriction command. The leader told you don’t go inside an area, and you step in went to death, in this situation, the leader is no responsibility at all.
Above mentioned the presumption of general situations, next, let’s discuss the effect combine with the bystander effect and helper effect.
The bystander effect is working when there is no one helping, or people ask for helping by just saying “anyone?” this will loop when no one dares to help. This is a good timing anyone who actually capable and willing to lead, because no one will stop you, and people are needed help.
The helper effect is working when you or anyone are willing to help and step out helping people, more people will come out and do real helping or destroy people because the helper effect attracted people come to do something, but when some people can fully handle the situation, extra people are not needed, and maybe even worse, they are not capable to help at all, the only thing they are doing is confusing people by giving fake and (or) wrong suggestion.
After both effects affected you when you are the leader, the helper effect should over after a while and you will become the only trustworthy, capable and useful leader.

Summary
This article is a summary of qazlll456 leader experience in the zombie escape server “Mapeadores” (http://mapeadores.com/), it is biased completely, personal opinion and imperfect guideline.
The guideline aims to be a reference to be a better “person”, not just a “leader”, after reading the guideline, you should become more reasonable to the people who are low skills and speak other languages, let a better-qualified person help other peoples, respect other leaders that are working well, start caring everyone mind health while playing.
Since no one pays for these leaders to lead, I suggest everyone should really appreciate and thanks to them when they help you to win and live. It is hard to find people do something for free in modern society.
If you are a leader from before, present or future, you should know that no one should follow you by no reason, you can do a mutual benefit behaviour related to your follower by saving them, and then your follower shall follow you and listen to your command.
Do not try to save everyone, no one has to follow someone, sometime some people refuse to follow anyone, and that is not a problem, in order words, people have the freedom to go to die, but do care that some people will want to make people die with them.
