Re: REALLY need a way to scramble server
I have been playing here a long time and the current format is preferable to my tastes; just remind players that the culture of the ville promotes unstacking, I'm sure there are more gosu players who are willing to switch up teams than you think.

Re: REALLY need a way to scramble server
My understanding, the rule is generally violated if said player goes into spectate and waits for a slot to reopen up on the other side; made worse by the fact that 70% of the time this forces another "autobalance" to accomplish their goal. I will call people out on this and will frequently point it out to any admins presently on the server.Kujako wrote:Not saying it's not in violation of the rules, but the rules are next to impossible to enforce so I fear we must learn to live with it.
This is the only admin power I would ever want: the ability to force team switches for people who are this unsportsmanlike. Dodging autobalance, no matter how flawed autobalance is, is hands-down one of my largest pet peeves in all of gaming, not just TF2. I honestly despise people who can't accept a forced team swap. Yes I know it's not fun, having been on the receiving end of it multiple times, but suck it up, be a sport, and lead the "bad" team to victory now that you're a part of it.

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.
