Team Stacking on Barb Options

[Maj. H8Red]

Sorry, Nothing, there's really nothing we can do if admins aren't on the server. I know that's not what ya wanted to hear....but, that's all that can be said.

the game was much better. We even kicked their ass.

So it's okay for YOU to kick someone's ass, but not for someone to kick YOUR ass?



Sorry Nothing, but you'll get no sympathy from me.

I got in late on the game in question and I spec'd it for a while to see what was happening. I believe I was the only representative member in that game. I saw a few new names, and some familiar names but looking at the board before playing there was no indication of a terrible lopsided "stacking conspiracy" going on. I even spec'd a while before joining in, everyone was playing fairly and the game, while it was no "barn burner" was moving along at a good pace and energy.

Sorry Nothing, but I don't see what you're driving at brother. It was a game like any other and no one was stacking teams. In fact, the people playing this afternoon, (no insult intended) wouldn't know how to stack wood, let alone slam a team together just to piss you off. Second round, more of the same, then server crashed and I went to have dinner. Don't know what happened after that. If what I saw today is, in your opinion, "team stacking", perhaps you need a break from the action for a while, cause it just aint so. I promise you there is no "Team Stack Conspiracy Theory". Just gotta take the good with the bad and have fun with it. Cya on the battlefield.

Canuck, when I said we kicked their ass, It was a competetive game in which we won.


Sabot, The thing that pissed me off was there was many spec-ing and waiting for someone to go Allies so they could go german. That is what pissed me off. I never said there there was a conspiracy. I just wish/want more guys to just hop in without worrying about who is winning the battle. Be a man and step up to the plate even if for a losing effort. You guys are taking it as if I think there are guys out to get me or something. That is not the case at all. Do you all mean to tell me that you dont notice that players are waiting in spec to go to the better team when a spot opens? Really? That is what I mean by stacking.

And that's a good sentiment, Nothing... but I suspect you're preaching to the choir.

There's not really any way to enforce that. People will be people. We could possibly encourage it by kicking players who stay in spectate for more then 5 minutes. (I think that can be configured.)

It is somewhat self-limiting... it's no fun to sit in spectate while waiting for a slot on your favorite team. Plus, if the rounds are too uneven, a lot of the losing team players will bail after the round... which makes it even harder to get onto the "winning" team.
