People who are new need old vets to lead them. If you don't take the lead as a vet in a squad of unfamiliar names with no apparent leadership, you should expect your round to suck. I'm a very good squad leader, but I know that if I form a squad with a unique name, enforce a policy of teamwork (usually no sniper kits, period), and require squad mates to listen to if not also talk over VOIP, I usually have much more fun each round than if I just let nature run its course.

If someone gets separated from the squad or selects sniper when otherwise not requested I talk to the person first to see if they have a reasonable explanation like "Oops, I didn't see where I was." or "OK I'll go support as my next kit." I let them stay in the squad. If they none of this happens... they be getting a the boot. I won't have a rogue ruining the game for the rest of my squad mates, who are earning their place.

Mag, your heart is in the right place but maybe your brain isn't. This thread started about 2 weeks ago when I decided to quit POE2 after playing for a close to 1 year now, I have no problem talking to ppl, on the contrary I sometimes feel I am talking too much making ppl uncomfortable. While there might be the odd one out like you and Husky that come onto the TG server looking for a a good squad orientated setting most don't they just come here to kill and thats it.

I have lead scores of squads and I have been told every which way to go F myself because of my insistence on following the server rules. Now I am happy you have found a home, just like I did, but thats just it, you were looking for this kind of atmosphere, some ppl just aren't. When the bad out number the good, thats a good a time as any to mosey along. Even Husky just noted in a comment that he finds mostly the same bunch of ppl to play with to sift out the ass-hats.

So remember this is after months of thinking, not just something I came up with yesterday.

On another note, next weekend, the one after this one will be my final, I am asking if you guys could setup a night of Incursion so that I can get that out of my system before I retire. BTW I didn't mean to be disrespectful Magonushi, it just gets to me every time I think about why I am leaving something I love.
