This sounds like you are accusing TTP of showing favoritism, did you get booted recently for not squadding? You can always LEAD a squad if you are so unhappy with the leadership. Nobody is going to listen to a rant that is promoting lone wolf play here.

This is simply an absurd statement to anyone that plays on the TTP servers regularly. It sounds like you got owned by the 5th, and/or booted for not being a teamplayer. It isn't hard to get owned by the 5th, they are generally resourceful players, and usually make great squads because they know how to take orders, communicate, and play as a team. Considering the rest of your post, you seem to want to play by yourself, and I could see how a lone wolf in a squad full of 5th would clash... I usually look for my clanmates, no doubt, because together we can be very effective. Maybe that is being a bit exclusive, but to accuse us of being on another channel and ignoring others in our squad is just bs, like you did with the 5th. Our squads fill up fast so I can't always get in, and I look for someone in a squad that I recognize because I don't like the silent SLs either. Being with a silent SL isn't an excuse to go it alone, the squad can still communicate... sometimes that encourages a silent SL to make room for a new one. The problem is not with the regulars, who you are taking your frustration out on, but the non-regs that don't communicate.

LoL I saw my name as thread starter. I then proceeded to go "wtf I don't remember starting a new thread." Then looked at title and said "holy shit this thread is old!" Man I was so pissed that day.

Alot of people are coming in out of the darkness. Trust me, if I had not held my tongue in check one of the 1st nights here, I would have been banned by one of the top admins here. I wanted to do him harm before I started ignoring the delivery of 'the message' and started seeing the contents of 'the message'.

I really do wish that some of our regulars/reservists would quit concentrating into the same squads. Spred out some more. Grab the newbs/visitors. Instruct them. You clan guys are missing golden opportunites to snag new blood by not trying to include visitors from time to time.

Some admins have absolutely no issues banning people for chewing with their mouth open. Myself? I HATE banning people. I beleive that most can be reformed into proper TEAM players. Don't get me wrong, I will ban and go apeshit on an idiot/abusive player in no time flat. But, I prefer to kick THEN ban.

Ok, rant off, going back to my schoolwork now. Remember kiddies.... fast flying gunships miss their targets and don't give the gunners enough time to identify and fire on their targets. Take your time and stay up high.

Wow, yes, I'm quoting myself, but its a good bump
