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

Ok, Lets elaborate here. I got a phone call saying that some people weren't complying when being asked to stop teamstacking. Yeah you didn't have time/couldn't ok...whatever. And then you were not in the server when I was going to come in and have a DIPLOMATIC, and nice talk to you. So I found you on GFM. NO SOONER THAN I JOINED THE SERVER, Sgt. Hulka, who thinks were scum, says, Better stop teamstacking guys. Then some of your guys proceed to call me an ass for telling them to do something. Which is clearly stated in our rules. So please don't even try and throw this on me.

You can check the logs to see what was said.

Thats all I have to say on this.
Good Day.

1) Sgt. Hulka does NOT think MOB is scum, Sgt. Hulka was taken out of context with a screenshot. I recall typing that, quite a while back. If my memory serves me correctly, I was typing to a MOB member, or maybe "taunting" MOB members on the other team. Nevertheless, it was not meant as a derogatory remark. I like to think that I am funny, maybe that doesnt materialize in text...



2) When we went to the GFM server, we were a little upset with the threat of being kicked for not splitting up. We get in there and here comes Radiation. So being the funny guy, I made the comment of team stacking to Gump and MajorBlood (both of AWOL, both on the other team). It was 2 on 1 at the time. This is when Radiation starts "flashing his badge" threatening to kick us from that server, (does a pb kick on an empty slot, shows that he has the ability to kick). This is when I said, basically " do what you gotta do", and disconnected.

Many times I have seen players (including MOB members) use that little flaw in the game when teams are not quite even, say 10 to 9, and they want on the team with 10, So they join the team with 9 and quickly join the other. Making it very lopsided until auto-balance kicks in. When we join, if we cant all get on the same team, we will wait until someone else joins the other team. If nobody is connecting or joining after a few minutes, we will auto-assign. But I did make the comment, and it still makes sence: If we change our names and remove the AWOL tags, nobody would have a clue. There are many other players out there that have ventrilo access, that communicate together.



3)We try to keep our AWOL guys calm and in line. We would rather be known as "good people" than known as "good players". Sometimes things get said in haste that shouldnt. I will appologize for Gump for the name calling, it was not necessary.
