Well thats true Lyra and it´s sad that people just switch to play with a special person because they think " oh hey XYZ is at that side! they are gonna win for sure! "
The last time the skill-balance is getting a real problem in my opinion. People are somehow to busy kicking ass than having a look at the scoreboard to check out the teams ( well except of checking their K/D ratio.. )
I also have to agree with big-eye about the ticket-games... is there no room left for newcomers or standard tactics? If you have a team full of new player as SL you can´t work out these fancy tricky moves or can expect that much from your squad as you could with a full TG squad but you still have to work with it.. but it´s no fun running these squads against a full force of expert players who eat you alive. I don´t say " oh please let me cap your flags and frag you so i can have some points , too " I say even up the teams so you can use whatever uber-tactic you want but be sure the other team can stand a chance against it.. or is it that much fun for you to beat up little kids for their lunch-money as well?
I would love to see the server with auto-balance and a auto-shuffle of the teams after each round for a while... because we can´t relay on our mature community to enforce balance in each level anymore.. Just 2 nights ago after the NS scrim... i played for 3 hours and more and couldn´t win a single game.. nothing bad about it, i don´t need to win for fun but if i get raped with end-scores like 200-0 for hours... well there are more fun things to do than that. Our player-count even dropped dramatic and no one cared... At the end ( and after several people already left ) right before Belgrade finally someone responded at TS to the voices asking for balance. But why do we have to ask for that every time? We see the scoreboard at the end anyway.. so just have a look at each side, not just your own. Close games are more fun for every one and if you want to play with your buddies that hard... than just split up and make a competition out of it who is better!

Well i can´t write that much to that topic because it would go way to far... i would use words which are similar to sunlight for vampires...

I really wish we can get back to the way where where when i once joined.



Edit : i found something i wrote about that topic from our IHS forum.
It´s about what i think about dominating the other team

Do you guys remember that day when the E-1st ( i remember Big-eye Silver rasta i think and myself ) went to the server and every one of us started a squad and we used the SL-SL communication-channels? The teams where even by players and skill but we owned them a few rounds in a row.. and instead of keeping it that way we stopped! sure it was fun seeing tactics work. sure it was fun working with my friends together, sure it was damn fun winning and having a laugh at the end about how much we rocked but jesus we stopped! Not because it was unfair.. the enemy team could have sued that option , too... but they didn´t and we are fair gamers! THATS WHY WE STOPPED! because we care about the fun of the opposite team... our enemy, the guys who killed our family, our dog, our dogs family and everyone we once knew.. but they are still TG.. we are still a family and we should act like that and thread our self the way we deserve it.

It´s a bit about why i don´t have fun dominating TG member.. because we are still a public server. We can use those humiliating tactics at scrims where really everything is about winning!
Maybe we should run more scrims to give those who more care about winning or just winning is fun i don´t know. So we can give everyone what they need to have fun here at TG
