I stack by joining the weaker team, thus making them even weaker. Where's the poll option for me?

Your assuming we stack because we think a team is going to win via it's rank/helo crap.

LIES

I join teams because I know who is playing. If it just so happens that they are all high rank, because they all happen to be COMPETENT whose fault is that? Mine for wanting to play with people who don't need help finding their own ass?

For once, I agree with Guitarism Steak Machine.

Yes. What you should be doing is finding the worst team out there and join it because this game is more fun if you have to yell for thirty minutes to get a bomb run going.

Which oddly enough, is what alot of Neo-Carists think

edit D'oh apparently I can spell either ...

If you are antistacking then you must be joining the team with the higher...I was going to say HELO for a second there...because if you are joining the lower team you are newb stacking not antistacking.

the problem mostly lies with the fact that neo-carists suck, and therefore, by joining the team that is down, make the suck worse, and in fact, are "stacking".

we of The Stack™ are stacking no matter what we do. If for example, if a game is 30-40 points in difference, and Guifish, finger, and I all join the team that is down AS, while 3 0's join the other team, the team that we joined, is now "stacked"

so in essence, we of The Stack™ do more to make games even than every neo-carist in this game.

honestly, I would prefer if the neo-carists would join the team with higher AS, because then games might be more even, instead of piling all of The Suck™ on one team.

please leave the stacking to The Stack™

Personally I don't join the unstacked team because I spend most of my games in a pod. I do not mind getting podded on succesfull bomb runs, or in at least a valiant attempt at miner defense that almost succeeds. I do mind floating home for five minutes because we (the com, the bbr pilot, the turrets, and myself) were screaming for thirty minutes for nans and no one bothered to show up. I do mind watching three miners get blown because for some reason the rest of the team thought my scout could handle three mini3 heavy ints. I especially mind when the commander proceeds to blame *me* for not being some sort of god with a magical "all enemy ints die" switch on my keyboard.

This is why I always fly for comms like Spidey and Gui; they will boot the idiots who make flying a pita.

*note: it's fine if you're not remarkably talented. *I* am not talented. I can't fly ints particularly well, I can't do fancy tricks with a scout, I find SFs impossible, but I still manage to be useful. It's really not hard to be useful and doesn't require uber whoring skills.

ahh.. so that was the question you missed on the Cadet Exam. I was wondering.

It's "d", or whatever you re-mapped your prox button to.
