[Chaos]

It's actually not as easy as you've just said.. I tried.. I failed

[Cheez]

My bad, I didn't mean to imply that it is an easy job. In fact I think being able to call and organise a team while still playing a good personal game is extremely difficult. Just meant that in my experience, having a main caller often fails if he is too nice (or too much of a pussy ) to shout over people and tell them to be quiet for a minute. Having four people call that there is a pyro on the right isn't exactly very important when the caller is trying to organise a push (just an example).

[Chaos]

even harder with 9 people compared to 6

Also, with Rainbow, I did call, and I was always shouting.. but excitedly.. I was always sooooo tired after playing (and top fragging pretty much every time!)

[Bl4ck]

I'm thinkin that Chaos should be leader, he's loud and he doesn't care if people hate him
Also, he seems to know what he is talking about.
P.S He's got a distictive voice so I know it's him talking too, which is nice.

[Ringelbeatz]

Chaos for leader.
I think he should play soldier, he is the best solly we have and I think as soldier you are more in the action and you can react faster on enemy movements.
Like I said I won't be around for some time.

Good luck, I don't know how fast I can get a new internet connection and you all know that it can be a real pain in the ass.

No wonder you folded!

[Teatime]

Hate to be a party pooper but there are a few more points where I felt we failed (to some extent quite miserably).

To some extent this is clearly the lack of experience as a group, Ringel is absolutely right about that. But there were also some unnecessary mistakes (like a WDG soldier being able to flank us unnoticed while we defended the 2nd CP on Granary). To some degree I even missed some of the gut instincts one follows on a good pub game.

A caller will certainly help a lot. This must be accompanied by the discipline of the rest to listen and to properly prioritize which info they should offer themselves.

Discussing a few more strategies might be in order as well, as boring as that usually is. We need a bit more coordination. "Push the cart" simply doesn't cut it, you must consider to create diversions or stage a two-pronged attack. To some degree a caller can do this, but beyond that that's need awareness and common sense. If 4 teammates head into the tunnel on Badwater it might be advisable to take a different route, or if 5 people attack CP3 on Granary from the left perhaps it's a good idea to have 2 others take the right route.

And one a personal note: The point I was close to ragequit was when I was setting up my buildings on Badwater in the mine-exit and Ams strolled up to me and calmly sapped (and destroyed) my sentry while I was completely alone. Something like that can make all the difference in such a match.

Yeaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Also...you say that - but there were also lots of other opportunities where I tried to flank you - killed cruelcow or a sniper - and then met a quick death as everyone turned around and killed me - obviously as a result of comms.

yeah, i died as sniper a lot. but when i died i was screaming down comms to let people know someone was behind. for better or worse i was trying to let the team know

[Bl4ck]

The thing is, if the team is doing well you don't notice things, but if it goes wrong you find out and get irriated. You have a bear in mind that a lot of things we were doing well were completely unnoticed.

[Lister]

But you also killed people a damned lot. :@ think you dominated me for a while

[Brahms]

You guys really make this highlander thing sound like a lot more work than it's worth.

[Teatime]

Just to show what a complete masochist I am may I suggest to repeat the whole ordeal on next Sunday.
Same maps, not necessarily the same people, hopefully some different results.

Meanwhile we T-Regs should stick our heads together and see what we can do better.

[Finaldeath]

I've got a feeling I'll be writing up some rough guides on how we'll deal with each map and take apart sentry positions and class combos - I feel I let the team down not organising pushes more on Dustbowl and Badwater as the medic there. I can't comment on Granary; I barely watched the match and really was only listening.

Can one of our leaders post about a new practice game tonight? I would love to play on Wednesday at least against a TF2 lobby group AFTER we have gone through some of the maps we need to play a bit more.

[Teatime]

Do I see correctly that we haven't submitted the results yet?
I too don't have scoreboards for Dustbowl and Badwater
(Note to self: Better get used to do those manually)
