Thread: SNF and what it should be.....

1) If there is a lot more communication going on, then you should be doing better than the regular server since you do have a team full of regs who are communicating and it won't be dumb luck of a random noob/non-reg if you win. If your team is getting your asses handed to you, then you need to work together as a team, and find a way to work it out and out smart/play the other team and win. The last map I played, Pira, is a great example. We started out as Ts and for the most part got our asses handed to us, but we managed something like 5 wins I think. When we switched, we needed to win a majority of the rounds just to win the map, and it came down to us winning by 1 round I believe in the end because we worked together and communicated more and learned from our mistakes.

2) It just depends on when you get on and play, but those maps, are played a decent amount as p3 said. Just looking at my pstats for those 2 maps on the reg server, I have about 3 hours logged playing on both so that is at least a good 6+ times we've been to those maps each. I say that because I know they were voted off rather quickly a few times because when we did first get them it was hard for people to learn and it wasn't played entirely, other times the map would get extended if we had a good group on. And I know those maps have been played much more than that as I've seen them being played when I either couldn't play or didn't want to at the time, but I enjoy those maps and try to get on them whenever I can.

It might not be as common in recent months, I can't really say as my CS time is down as well, but they were very popular maps and are still played pretty regularly enough that most people should know these maps or have at least a handful of regs on their team to help them out with said map.

3) Picking teams is always going to be tricky because we do have a large amount of regs and we all don't know each other as well as we know some others because we play at different times or different servers (reg or top5 more than the other) and people will just pick who they know by name or by their teams recommendations. Its a hard thing to try to work out especially with people randomly leaving/joining the server during a match. They don't know who to join, and sometimes just auto, or go with the loosing team. It also hurts when as p3 said, one of your first picks randomly leaves the server without saying anything to his teammates or anyone else on the server. Sometimes those things are unavoidable though (i.e. power/internet goes out, family emergency, etc.) so it is to be expected.

SNF is suppose to be fun though, so picking teams shouldn't be much of an issue anyways, and everyone should be more relaxed, but it seems everyone is taking this way too seriously and we should be happy to play together 1 night for 2-3+ maps together as a true TTP only filled server which is not something that happens a lot on the regular servers because of the random connections (which I'm not complaining about either since they could be future regs anyways, that's how we grow). Just play smart, have fun, and communicate if you don't want to loose/get your ass handed to you. Remember you can AWP/Auto as well even if you dislike it, but if that is an issue for you, then save up for one and put the other team in place or find a way to kill them and waste their money. You have many choices at your disposal such as smokes, flashes, HEs, and other long range weapons that shoot much faster and are more accurate/powerful (except AWP in terms of power) to counter act said weapons. There really is nothing more enjoyable than to kill an AWPer with something such as an M4, AK, or even an SMG such as the p90 or mp5.

And it's fine Mako, it just was a tense arguement between the teams when you joined and you kind of got stuck in the middle of it. Only way you'll know is play in them and learn. Don't worry about it too much man.
