Guy's seeing as I have a shitty PC I might not be the best for this map? However I am making myself available for Monday

I am concerned. We have a total of 8 ppl signed up for this clannie, 2 of whom can't make the prac tonight, and 1 of whom will be late.
I understand that RL > games, but if we don't get a practice with everybody there AT LEAST once before each match, we are going to get repeatedly thrashed in this league.
iG is possibly our biggest game in this group and we are going to be sorely under-prepared for the match.
I really think we need to try and sort a prac if at all possible which all 8 players can attend before Monday.

If this trend continues, I would suggest that for Leg 2 of the league, we get a couple of extra grrrbians from the Nuts so that we can be sure of fielding full, well-practiced teams in future matches. Not being nasty here, but it'll irritate the living shit out of me if the Nuts make the premier league and the Danglers end up in Division 3 or something because of poor preparation. Danglers are supposed to be our [grrr] clan's first team; they should take max benefit from grrrbian players! At the moment we have more dedicated grrbians helping BBH into the premier league than we have representing [grrr] for the Danglers...

I have said it before in just about every league we have played: I don't mind losing to better teams if we play to our best abilities and are well-practiced and prepared. Losing is part of life, and makes us better and stronger. I will not, however, put my heart and soul into strategies, practices, and matches for a team that other members are happy to coast in. I am too competitive to play for a team 'just for laughs' - I am here to compete, goddammit, and we won't even make for a decent punching bag with our current attitude to practices.

/rant.

I'm going to have to agree with Jono here. For example, Paul and Odi (to my knowledge) haven't even played for the Nuts yet.
We should have kept them as Dangler reserves.

Can we try to organize a practice tomorrow night or Saturday with all of the ppl signed up for the clannie?
Tonight's practice was futile. Sure, the few of us got prac with working as a squad, but we are no where near working out a strat for the clannie.

I know I am one of the more guilty people of the above. And I am not posting here to make excuses.

As you may or may not know I have been remarkably overworked for the past few weeks. I drive 130km a day and work is very difficult and some days its rise n shine @ 4:30, some days its hometime @ 19:00. Then there is the fact that now that I live back at home, I get to see all my family and friends whenever THEY fucking please. Finally, and the most annoying thing of them all, is that I paid PROPER hard earned cash to upgrade my machine for this game only have to run my game at all low settings with shit fps still. It gripes me SO much that I actually feel like throwing the towel in on BC2.

Weekends are very bad for me. Weekdays are getting progressively worse for me and I am starting to not enjoy BC2 because its a badly ported piece of shit that I actually spent money upgrading my machine to run it on. I try my best to squeeze in a few rounds here and there and I can still hold my own... But after 2 hours MAX, the sub-30 FPS and playing at arb times without you guys hurts me.

Please accept my sincerest apologies, if you guys want to drop me, I understand. I will try my best to help wherever I can

Sorry I miss it last night Jono! But i had plans!

I feel bad i have missed the practice. But i had plans!

Please lets all decide on a specific day/days full team practice. I'm sure we all need time to plan our week.
It will be better for all I'm sure to attend a full practice in the beginning of the week. And the one more over the weekend. I'm all up for that.

Jono i know how you feel. We need to practice more and more as a team. We can only get better that way.

But we need set days for practice. And they must be known to all at least in the beginning of the week. So I can plan my week. ( at least i got it all last night )

Now could the admins please decide on the specific days we have to practice! And post them! So this does not happen again!
( I will be online tonight )

Thursday nights were agreed for a regular weekly practice session with the Nuts a couple of weeks back. Last week few people truned up, and this week it seems that it still isn't clear - THursday is the regluar practice night. Every week.

As to the shortage of personnel, I must take a chunk of the responsibiliy for this. I thought that an 11 man squad would be sufficient, given as everyone had committed to the league beforehand, and we were all pumped to get going.

A couple of things have happened since then though.

1. Geth had to go back to Chad. I didn't know that this would happen two weeks after the league started.
2. I haven't seen Grav around much at all, he hasn't posted for a week and didn't put his name forward for either of the last two weeks games. I hope that this i just temporary, and that he'll get back into regular attendance soon.

This in itself leaves us with a team and one reserve. Not enough to run a league with.

Add to that the fact that I'm going to be travelling a large part of this month (3 out of 4 weeks) and early June (up until the 17th), and we have a serious issue with player availability. I'm sorry that this has to happen, but my work has to come first, and I can't exactly turn up for games if I'm in a different city/country to my PC).

If what Sheri says is correct (Paul and Odi not having played for teh Nutz yet), matbe Lee can have a word with AGASA and get the rosters changed to add them to the Danglers? That would at least give us a little more breathing room.

I'll try have a word today with said admins - though from when i asked them about later roster changes last time they said "Sorry the registrations will be strictly closed, if you only have 7 players for this leg, then that's how many you have period."

I'll try my best to see if we can get a bit of special treatment.

EDIT: Trevor is usually quite accommodating, so will see what he says.

SINCE WE WILL BE PLAYING ON MONDAY, PLEASE CAN WE HAVE EVERYONE WHO SIGNED UP FOR SUNDAY IN FOR A GOOD PRACTICE SESSION (ON SUNDAY)8pm till 10pm

Even if it's 2 X 4man Squads vs each other for 2 hours - it will go extremely far is getting our squad work sorted, or at least improved for mondays game.

I would have liked to have done SATURDAY too, but I've got a function on.

Anyway.... there are a few of us truly committed players that want to improve wherever we can, me being one of them, we need YOUR help in doing that or like jonno said, we'll be playing all the 2nd or 3rd division players from leg2 onwards - we're FAR better than that and we're getting let down by our lack of teamwork/squadwork understanding.

For instance, because we practiced this last night, we found that defending randomly is all well and good - sending in 1 guy to take out another in a building is actually suicide, since there could be 2 or 3 guys there. The ONLY way to engage an enemy, especially when you want to get them off a flag cap, is to send in YOUR WHOLE SQUAD - no exceptions.

When moving around the map, NEVER go alone, always move in at least a PAIR.

IF you are a medic with an LMG, CALL when you are reloading so that your squad can cover you.

etc etc.

These things can only work if practiced, they're all fine in writing, but go out the window in practice.

We had a few things that worked well for us and we still strayed occasionally from the tactics, PRACTICE will stop that happening.

What's the point of paying for this server if we're not going to practice?

Personally I want a 4 vs 4 Danglers practice on Mondays and the Danglers vs Nuts Practice on Thursdays, yes, 2 practices a week.
I think it's the only way we can get anywhere in BC2 - from what I've seen, the other clans out there (including the Nuts) are squading well and working well as a team - and we're just not quite there yet.

Anyway - lets get this rolling - seriously -take steroids if you must, lets just get this going!
