Thread: Challenge for the Regulars

Its not too hard to hit tab before you join a team to see who needs help.

And like whats been said many many many times before on team threads. Skill isn't everything, if your team isn't doing what they're supposed to then someone needs to step up and yell at them. I find it very hard to believe a team that working well together and doing what they should be doing is losing 10-0. That's not to say they won't loose, just not that bad. Case in point, I suck and are no where near the best player, but when the team actually listens to what I tell them then things tend to get better. Its not cause I'm good, its cause sometimes people don't adjust to fit the needs of the map. They push to far, sit in the wrong place, they call the wrong types of strats.

Team Balancing

Why not make everyone auto assign and not penalize teams for having a higher score.
Just because a team is not winning does not mean all the calls are not being followed. Sometimes you can have a perfect team and still lose because honestly I believe proof of good team work isn`t just victory but the way you play the game.

Auto will stop team stacking,stop unbalanced teams and besides like rattler said let the admins do the player switching.

Also by setting auto assign it will also elimate players ability to self analyze if they THINK a team is fairly matched and in most cases causes other players to be upset because they THINK other wise.

Bluntly set the servers to auto assign and have faith in our Admins abilities to determine the best players to be switched to create a more competitive game play.

Most the time there are 2 many chiefs and not enough little Indians lets just trust the Admins and let them decide and save alot of misunderstanding .

Another option is putting in place a no team switching rule except those that TPG Admins feel are capable to make a decision on which teams need help to keep the TPG spirit in game play.
A new server group with the abilities to switch players for those old time Regs that have earned the respect of the Admins and community,Mentors if you will. Possibly decreasing the work load of the admins in some areas.player/mentor/admin

Either way this little indian THINKS tpg has the best servers in css and I trust the admins at TPG decisions on any configurations that the servers run .

Trust me if something was to harm or if there are issues that effect gameplay on the TPG server line up the hard working Admin staff would be all over it.

So here is what I want to Challenge ALL of the regulars on the CSS servers. I know if an admin is on then it is their job to take care of this but if an admin is not on then I want all of the regulars to try EVEN the teams skills wise. It happens just about every single day where one side is stacked and I do see this having an negative effect on the server when it happens. Basically players start leaving because they get frustrated. Yes I know what most of you will say is step up and take control and all of that other stuff that normally gets said when someone post something similar to what I am talking about.

Sometimes it only takes one player to make a change in the outcome and sometimes it will take more but it will only take the first player to make a move to make the difference. i don't know about you but I personally like a match where it is 14 vs 15 for the final score, to me it means each side was truly fighting for the final win.


So who will step up and take on this challenge? Speak up and be heard!! Let others know you are the better player and will help the losing team.

Gunny I don't think it is something folks doing intentionally but when players get caught up and having a good time and winning playing any game. the tend to loose focus on the balancing of server. which tends to take a back seat at that point.

It's good to bring that up if you are seeing it, Gunny. If you see unbalanced teams and people don't seem to notice then I don't see the harm in asking someone on the other team to come over over steam chat or in the server.

And yeah when my team is winning and I see Luker join the other team I get on the mic and I go:

It's not always unbalance because it stacked on one side. In most cases its poor communication and if you can get your team to start communicating better you will see the teams are usually pretty even.

"And yeah when my team is winning and I see Luker join the other team I get on the mic and I go:"
lol.. that's right! that's right! yeah but seriously, i had a couple people tell me that i stack the teams.. i strive to help the losing team, it's the killer way. i'm like the server whore, everyone gets a ride and then is done with me.

I'm usually one of the reasons why we're losing soo...
