To this it would have been a valid response from the noobs to shift the blame on the vets for stacking the other team since the opposing team was filled according to the way I explained in my previous post:
And then we can have this kind of response from the vets:

Like holy @#(! we've uncovered the super secret ultra tech of two players working together. It's soooo unfair and beyond the talent level of anyone in this game.

Ok, i hate entering this discussions, it's all about how you and him and them perceive things, too much fog.
But i think this needs a bit of context. Not long ago we have 2 players that always played together, coordinate things and were very good too, they atracted all the Voobie ones that love to get carried to easy wins (IE: 104). they wouldn't want to split between teams, cause, well, they didn't wanted to. One of them provided a lot of help to the community, so i figured he kinda deserved to play w/e the way he wanted, so instead of whining about the stack, whine about how they should split (they would log out instead of splitting), Dome, P1 and me would join the other poor stacked against random voobcomm. We got on discord, coordinate and get to win a couple of games. This had a very insteresting side effect on my individual gameplay.

Mind you, i was just another random voob, and i get to enjoy my randomvoobness a lot, since i coud join w/e team i saw fit.

Second, most of the times i'll join the stackedagainst nub or voobcomm, just so we can get a game going, P1 or someone else of my friends (poor them) will join me, pm me WTF this comm, i'll just tell them to go with me to kill us a couple of miners, kill the other teams econ, they resign, i get flack for stacking (i did kept it shut when they decided to join the more experieced comm, since they thought, yay easy win)

As an example of how interesting things can get: a couple of nights ago we had a small game going in a big map, cause WTF not, i join a friend who at that point has commed like 3 games, and a nub player. against 4 random guys. At some point all my team leaves the game, and i'm 1 v 4, they decide to bomb and reduce me to just my Exp sector (didn't care cause i have mini 3 IC hvy ints, thanks to Panda who left the game with mini2 ints and mney for upping the exp). one of the 4 guys decides to jump teams, to make it a bit more interesting, now we can mine a bit more, more ppl join the game, it ends with a 6 vs 6, my team wins. Some random voob who joined the other team in the last minutes whines about the stack.

Finally, and in the spirit of all good things, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5FfJ89rGPc

It's a humorous poke at all of the little things that make me never want to command again. Think of it as a Barry Brown style "day in the life."

Ill get to the later posts soon as I am very slow writer. But what happened then is only one part of this discussion since the event is not unique but served as a lead in to this discussion. I was not intending to rehash that particular event anymore since I want to discuss on a more general level. But of course I am open to discussing about it later.

I mean, the mini2 that was 2k away from the int pilot as he was going... well I'm not entirely sure where he was going, but that mini2 is obviously not helpful when you're flying expansion, so $#@! that noise. But good god damn if he didn't see a SEISMIC on the opposite side of a sector two alephs away from our expansion! Hold on guys, I'm deseperate to get some tech. What, pick up nan2? $#@! that can't you see I'm on a mission?!
...

You didn't need to be so specific as to mention seismics... makes it obvious who you are talking about

We all love you P1, despite your inability to be at 3 places at once, keeping your miners alive, voobs coherent and tech researching.

Also mumble strats > discord strats.
