    Spend 20$ a month for six months on flowers for your wife/lovebunny, then pop the question: "about my TG membership..." -- you may see a change.

    And yes, it was a bad keyboard battery set -- just changed them and no more uncontrolled movements, bowl or otherwise.

    And thank you for the kind words. There are many styles of leadership and play on TG, but you will find all of them equally mature. I let the CO (BigGayAl) down that round when I strayed too far from the Processing flag, afraid of boring my squad, then things changed and we had to fight our back to territory that we would have otherwise owned.

    Overall, I was quite disappointed with my own leadership that evening. Not at the top of my game, but we did do some good two squad maneuvers with JohnFlenally's squad, and we saw quite a bit of the map, with much movement to and fro.

    It was quite something seeing one non-TGer leave our squad in disgust at one point when we were holding for backup from another squad before attacking the Estate. Off he went on his own, attacked a flag all on his own, and died. I could not help but wonder how much fun that is compared to playing with 5 others, communicating and coordinating with team mates, and sharing the victory or defeat. And all we asked was to hold a minute or two. Talk about ADD...

    Cheers,

    I remeber that round well. It was fun and action packed at estate and with Biggayal at the helm(CO) we had excellent arty fire. Can say one of the better memories is of my(squad 4) and Emale(squad 5) doing a pincer move on and nme squad to the north of estate through the rice paddies. Once we reached the edge of the effective radius I called in arty on top of the nme squad. With arty on them and no where to go the squad went boom.

    After having served under E male a number of times I have to say as a whole you doing very well SLing. My only problem is it seems you are distracted alot of the time. Don't know what this is caused by but as a suggestion I would try and keep the "frapsing" to when your not SLing. In reguards to boring your squads don't be afraid of doing things that sound completly retarded(d-day beach landing), and make sure your squad knows that up front.

    My only other beef is that after posting my name half a dozen times in the forums emale you still seem to butcher it lol .

    Yeah, I think it can sometimes be quite difficult to defend a position not under attack, especially when you're aware that a number of people in your squad aren't TG. I think the key thing to do is just to keep talking to them, really - make sure that your squad knows exactly why it's here, etc.

    Or even give them areas to watch for that make them feel more responsible for a specific task:

    "snooggums cover SW, mingmong watch the north ridgeline, Embigginer drop some medkits on the flag" It makes you feel a little less bored while waiting for an attack.

    After watching flag hopping in Vanilla and POE2 and knowing how much more effective holding a bleed is I actually enjoy defending. I get that air of not knowing when the attack is coming, something I lost in fast FPS like CS. Of course wandering a little towards a near flag for support but keeping an eye on a held flag may make things a little less slow on a map like Forest, but I really like holding a flag more than trying to regain it. If I start a squad and actually name it I have named it defense, got a flag on the second line and made it clear when people joined that we are not moving from that flag for the rest of the game in POE2. Of course the AAS mode in PR mets the same type of unit move to the next flag in order, but losing that second flag is oh so problematic to the advanced squads.

    Roger that - with everyone in a defensive circle/manning guns/taking position on rooftoops, it can be a tense situation waiting for the enemy to come creeping out of the bushes...especially when you can hear an approaching engine...

    So E-Male, don't be worried about your team getting bored, I certainly wasn't, even when things were quiet. All part of the fun...

    I'm very much looking forward to working with 1st again, your SOP's are spot-on, and I've just been checking out your HQ Page - great stuff.

    See you on the battlefield.
