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

hello to all you that i get the chance to play with/against - pretty much everyday - those that know me know i suck, but nonetheless,,,,,,,,

first off, for whoever wasnt even on the server at the time...

it was 8 on eight or something like that

ther might have been 4 maybe 5 of us and yes on the same team except for one

someone mentioned something about evening the teams, which at 8 on 8 basically everyone is wating for more people to join

well obviously 3 or 4 of us cant just jump on to the other team and start playing 12 on 4

so we all left and went to the german front mod server where it was only us playing

and radiation - who seems to be very kick happy - came over there -where it was only us mind you

and kicked us all out of THAT server, doesnt make sense really, sounds like a bully to me

i think he got picked on too much in high school, anyhoo

every time i have had the pleasure to play with/against him he tries to kick someone, - odd

and if your gonna give us an ultimatem (sp.?), we should have more than 5 seconds to comply.

even so, we left the server then were kicked out of the other one,

if anyone should be banned/kicked it should be radiation, before you lose all the people that like playing on your awesome server



as for why we are here- it was definitly for the level of competition we found on here.

lots of servers to choose from, i think you guys should be proud we chose this one[url="java script:emoticon("][/url] , not question why we are here.

earlier in the day, there were two of us awol fellers, against 7 or 8 mob guys

which of course gave us the beating of a lifetime, we didnt care, glad to see more of you guys on there

thanks for the opportunity to play on here

'Pvt. Stevo' That my be true but the problem I've seen was some of you were in Spec and you only joined when you could get in on your own team. I was the one to ask you to even up sides. One of you ask why and before I could even answer several more jumped in with sarcastic remarks like...I'll remove my tags, change my name and so on. When I ask to even up sides it wasn't meant the to be the player count, it was simply meant to even the odds which none of you gave me the chance to explain. You got mad and left and I believe you were the only one to stay for awhile longer.

To plead your case the above is not the way to do it and IMHO appears to me you are still angry. When you guys moved on as you say, you guys were the only ones playing on that server. That means you had to be playing against each other. Why did you not stay in TF and simply say something like "OK we will try to even out the odds on the next game?" That's all it would have taken and this long thread wouldn't have happened.

Are you talking about TF that you only had 5 sec? Not sure what you mean here. If so then I know this is not true. You guys left in a hurry when Rad came in and ASK you to comply.

Calling a MOB member an A@@ then disconnecting don't justify that member getting banned IMO.

Well I can only speak for myself but I do enjoy playing with and against you guys. Although at first I did give a few warnings about some of the language used by some of you. That seems to have cleared up and in fact I saw Animal Mother get on someone the other day about his or her language. I'm not without a few choice words myself Steve, but you have to remember their are many eyes watching. Children are my biggest concern and they are on here. No, parents can't always watch them so I at least try and set a good example for our servers and try to keep it under control. If you think about it, why curse at all.

I hope this thread will soon die and we can all get back to enjoying the game. Just have respect for everyone and if a MOB member ask you something don't fly off the handle.



All the best,
