Team Stacking Options

[Oberst Klink]

Hi, how is everyone today? I haven't posted in quite some time, but I neede to get something off of my chest. I play almost exclusively on MOB servers because of the great people and the great custom maps, particulary Tuchola Forrest, my personal favorite. It seems as of late there is some team stacking going on, not from MOB members, but from other clan members joining together, and usually lead by one clan in particular, who's name I will not mention at this time. I was on last night, playing against one of these stacked teams and a couple of MOB members were with me on vent and expressed their displeasure as well. I have to admit, I haven't read all of the MOB rules, but from my experiences, from being in clans and playing on clan servers, I've often seen little tolerance for deliberate team stacking. Don't get me wrong, I love a good challange, but the last several times I've been on, I've seen clan members, sitting in spectator waiting to hop on the team with all the clan members. That same thing just happened, lead by the same unnamed clan I mentioned earlier, which is what finally prompted me to make a post. I would just like to know if anyone else is a little OVERHEATED by this and if so can anything be done about it. If nothing can be done, I guess I will just have to play a little harder or try harder to get on the stacked team, LOL Everyone have a great day and I appreciate you letting me vent my spleen in your forums.



P.S. Sorry for any mispellings, but the spell check doesn't work, lol. KLINK

if i may chime in.

i play against the AWOL clan all the time. they are, as we all know, talented players. it can get rather discouraging at times when they "happen" to all be on the same side. we know that there are rules against stacking and now that this is out in the open i am sure they will abide. i would respectfully request that the talk about banning them be greatly tempered and allow them to adjust their play to comply with the server rules on their own. i would like to point out that their attendance on the forrest is constant and accounts a lot for the activity on that map. i (as inconsequential as i am) don't want to see them leave and don't want them chased out.

i was talking to my usual bunch on vent the other evening when this latest occurrence happened and i voiced that what we really need is (as shred alluded to) is a better showing of the opposition. i realize that that too could possibly get out of hand but i get fearful when talk of "kicking / banning" is the used as the first option to deal with a scenario that simply discussion may correct. seems a bit heavy handed.

i would like to ask a question out loud if i may - the "AWOL Clan" if that is how they/you wished to be thought of. at one time used to be able to support their own server/games and web site - i have been to their site but it looks a bit deserted. they now seem to play exclusively on the MOB - Forest. it seems a bit odd to me that the AWOL clan has taken up residence on a MOB clans server. i would think the natural progression of a broken clan would be to a ) fade away or b ) the joining of another clan by their members - say (you guessed it) MOB. but in this case they seemed to have put their HQ somewhere back by German 3. maybe there is a lot more to this then i am aware but it strikes me as a bit odd but i am again a noob and don't profess to know "how things work".

AWOL please take the criticism constructively and abide by server rules. i for one would miss driving over the north bridge and having my jeep shot out from underneath me by %$# HULKA @#$@. i am sure that the AWOL bunch are communicating while playing so i might offer that they use vent and interact with some of the other usual players there in an attempt to bring more cohesion so that future situations may be less dramatic. "lets play".
