yes lets rant about gathers instead of not play them for those reasons, people will definitely listen :kappa:

as a gather player transitioning to teams, the amount of shit people are calling out is actually rather overwhelming (MAYBE THIS HAD TO DO WITH PLAYING WITH SCHU). there's a certain lingo that you use which i started to understand only after a match or two: "that lerk is lit" "i chipped 2 skulks in west" "2 bites on marine next to pg" etc etc. there's acutally a lot of information being shared which i think you might take for granted. also im sure youre used to prem teamwork which is probably way more strategic and focused.

also herakles:
i think when we played with "Mega" that might have put a REAL bad taste in your mouth, it certainly did for me. i also remember playing another game with you where we had an especially unorganized group of players running around with their heads cut off. im sure these 2 scrims influenced this post, and i just wanted to say that a lot of my stream experiences have been really positive and even when i lose my games i felt like it wasnt a complete stomp, but one team got a slight edge on another which lead them to a VICTORY.

you are like 3 years too late to this game.

this game is dead AF.

You know this, Hera

this game is dead AF.

I assume alot of people that play ns2 actually have a fucking life and like to spend the last few hours of the day relaxing and playing some NS2.

After a 10 hour day of getting up early to take kids to school, working/running a business, getting home feeding everyone and yourself, cleaning the shit hole house then washing and preparing to do it all again the next day - Yeah i might miss a call or two and tbh i couldn't give a fuck

I agree with herakles but I also disagree.

It makes a obvious point that the people are suppose to take a game seriously in a competitive gather's because people who are most experienced play there and they want more of a competitive game so they can be better, but the same reason is for the new people who are just starting the gathers.

The newcomer's join the gather's to play with better people because they want to get better because pubs are getting too easy for them... good point but that's not the only reason why they are not communicating, I mean people also come here to learn from the best or more experienced players and listen to them while taking their orders because that's how the newcomers learn, at that point is where I think the "Less communication" comes from.

If the experienced player is flaming at a certain newcomer or just flaming at the team there will be a bad influence or you will just give them less moral to tale the game seriously, they will begin to talk less and also ignore commands, because that's how people are sadly.

So what my point is that flaming or raging at team mates wont help, it's more fun playing with people who enjoy the game while taking a competitive game than with a player that yells at their team mates.

But as I said this is just my opinion and thought so don't take it personally but I totally agree with you Herakles about this topic that people do need to communicate more for a good teamwork.

First off this is a troll thread. Secondly if you're talking about the gather last night with tap then let's just say tap is a man with alot at stake. In general there isn't much flaming in gathers unless you have some very particular players on your team.
