I understand the point of the scramble on temp 1. Sometimes I dont like it because I like to play D on push maps or whatever. Thats fine. Today I rage quit because we scrambled the teams 3 times, the third one being right after the first cap. The third scramble made things worse(because IMO the teams werent that stacked), then when i pointed out it made the teams worse someone started a vote for another scramble for no option to vote "no". Myself and at least one other person rage quit. Stacked teams WILL happen on pub servers. Nothing I have ever seen on the tempest servers is nearly as bad as alot of other servers out there. Go play on a 24/7 -Q- clan server and see my point. Lets stop the admin abuse here people, let people play the game! /rant

How about you define what stacking is?
How about this issue about stacking will never end and will ALWAYS happen. This issue will never end and almost everyone I see does it.

I didn't think you were a noob Saber...you know what stacking is and the teams that had been randomly picked with the initial server initiated scramble were really bad. Maybe I shouldn't have scrambled the teams in the first place, but I could visually tell that the teams were stacked but I didn't scramble till the first round took under a minute. Its tough enough to keep people on Fastlane to begin with, but with the rolling that would have occurred, I felt I needed to. As for the other scrambles...I didn't do em.

Thats my point, and scrambling obviously didnt help, so lets stop abusing that function. Let it scramble at the beginning of the map like its setup to do. If it makes it worse, whatever we will deal with it, but dont do it 2 more times within the first 10 minutes of a map. Also after the last scramble was made, you joining spec, then waiting for the teams to even out so you could join the stacked team didnt help saber. Im suprised you had the balls to post in this thread after that move.

That WAS my fault...I thought I was initiating a vote not scrambling right then...THAT part IS my bad.

I do think you might have a different definition of stacking teams. I rarely see teams roll the other side.

I was there for a short time and I thought we didn't have enough time to see if teams were "stacked", as our team had just capped cap 4, and then after a couple minutes the teams were scrambled... as soon as that happened, scrambled again as we barely get out the door. Just because a team has 4-5 pDs doesn't make it a stack... No offense, but I'd be more inclined to worry if there were 4-5 Hax, or especially if there were 4-5 NFK, those mofos are deadly in a group. pDs is one of those clans that doesn't necessarily recruit based on skill (which is a good thing in my book, this game is meant to be enjoyed, not stressed out over). Regardless, I think it may be prudent to vote for a scramble as opposed to just scrambling on a whim, and definitly don't scramble before a team can finish a round... I would say maybe it would be a good idea to scramble after maybe, 3 wins? Even then it should be up to the players... :D McCheese wrote:I've always said all women are 2 drinks away from full on lesbian action Lead Salad wrote:I never figured whut for a fairy..wait, yes, yes I did.

The initial team scramble had good intentions, but a few random number generators started a chain of events that ended up killing the server. There were a few newer people watching this fiasco with comments like "why is everyone whining?" or "do these clans usually act like this?" I wasn't impressed with the team balance myself, and I know I contributed to this mess a little, but step back and think of the impression we're giving on other people. Video games are serious business. So much anger over one team winning 2 games in a row. It's getting depressing. I need a hug. Win Cookies Awarded: 7 (bawwwwww)

I feel being mature people (most of us) can see what is happening when 1 team wins easily 3-4 times.. a few of the better players especially pds should switch teams.there are a few people everyone knows stack obviously.. you watch them sit in spec until a spot on the "good" team opens up. They know whio they are and we know who they are give em a little good natured ribbing that may make them think about it.
I personally like being on the "unstacked team" sure you lose a few times but you don't lose 50 Pt's since e they are on your team =P and you get to kill your clan mates that can be much fun.
The stacking is actualy alot better then last spring and i dont feel scarmbling without a vote is a good idea.. you cant make everyone happy. But Joe pickupguy's happiness is more important for the servers then Joe Admin's

Unless the server is on the brink of death, leave the scramble alone. If people vote upon the majority of it then go ahead, but other then that the admin menu shouldn' t even be used.  ahhhh_crap wrote:no, splinter has ethics and whut has emotions

Thats my point exactly, there was no rolling going on. The first cap I belive happened between then 2nd and 3rd scramble. It might have been the second cap but no more then that, and they put up a vote for the 4th scramble without an option to say no.

I can only recall 2 times that a team that I was either playing against or played on was getting rolled in the last 3-4 weeks, and we scrambled after 2 successful wins by the offense on dustbowl (2 rounds meaning the offense won 6 in a row), after that it was fine, but I offered up a vote a few times during the romping and the players voted it down by quite a bit (70-80% said no scramble). The only reason I offered a vote in the first place was because 2 people were complaining very loudly and frequently and left soon after... oddly enough the round they left their former team dominated the pants off the other team... life's funny that way. :D Oh, and chillax peoples, don't fight, just hope on the Duck-Wolf team and you'll be fine, lol.
