Not sure what this is supposed to be about.

A poem of some kind?

Domer has made a cohesive interpretation of my poem which apparently DID make sense to HIM.
There are bits (but not all) of your interpretation that truly reflect my current sense of the situation. But I felt it crass and whiny to state my feelings outright. Incidentally, this has nothing to do with noobs.

I like CoyoteCreed's verse. Hopeful thoughts to my dreary dirge. Thank you, but my heart remains heavy.

It is unfortunate that ketchuo did not attempt his own interpretation, but instead, chose to hijack my thread -- a most unwelcome involvement.

But Domer's enthusiasm for bad haiku has me feeling gracious at the moment. So I give ketchuo a second chance.
Hence, I challenge you, ketchuo, to write a haiku that directly responds to mine. No references to little ponies allowed.
I eagerly await, but first I need another ale. brb

As for this thread, I really don't see the purpose at all because people know this already. Not to mention a lot of new people will stack on the winning team.

In other words, it's pretty hard to stop new people from stacking but that's how I actually got good at tf2. Playing on the losing team and actually having to fight people that are better then me.

ketchuo, you did not reply with a haiku as I expected.
I said already that this is not about noobs. So, 10 points off for not reading before responding -- and because your response was not haiku as I had requested.

Regarding the "purpose" of this thread, I am dismayed that you consider it acceptable practice to hijack my humble little thread because you find no purpose in it. Can you not tell that I am in a delicate state? And you barge in with your "What's the purpose of this?" man talk. Frankly, it's a bit scary -- everything considered right now.

If you are not going to play along, then please excuse yourself and let the rest of us have fun with it. I understand there are games afoot.

But ketcho, dear boy, I still invite you to embrace your latent poet and contribute your bad haiku. Certainly the historied culture at the famous The Ville can indulge in a little literary exercise every so often.

Here is another...

Biting words
Edges nick
Ether interleaves
Pragmatic slave
Soothes not

See? CoyoteCreed, Inner and Crusty (a bit direct, but still acceptable) have grasped the joy of bad haiku. I invite others to reach down deep and express yourselves in bad haiku. Respond to mine or tell a story about your own experiences here.

Do not give up hope.
Encouragement and teamwork
Yield positive things.

A few of us admins were on the server yesterday, during non-peak hours, helping keep things to a dull roar. There were hilariously blatent attempts to stack going on - a constant stream of players joining spec to force auto-balance, then switching teams. Inevitably, these were the top scorers on the team that was having some slight difficulty pushing, trying to jump ship. We would move them back, and tell them not to do that. The very next mini-round, the exact same thing would happen in reverse, people in the previously winning team were flocking in droves to spec to try and steal spots by forcing the auto-balance. We returned them to the appropriate teams with repeats of the same requests mentioned above.

The result? More whining than you can imagine. One of the players, after repeatedly ignoring us and trying to do this rather than help his team, stormed off crying about admin abuse for preventing him from switching to the winning team by this underhanded method. Several other players, including ones who hadn't been team-swapping, spent several rounds making snide remarks about our rules and generally being idiots. Sadly, in response to this, I can only say "The Internet."

Interestingly enough, the teams were almost perfectly balanced - neither could beat the other on offense, and both could hold a good defense at about the same point. The number of players who have no interest in a balanced game, however, is quite significant. We do our best to keep things evened out when we can, but it's a part of the TF2 "dynamic" (such as it is) that has emerged particularly forcefully since the F2P patch. As we can see by looking around here at the forums, if we nurture the good ones and maintain our principles, we can gain new friends and community members. As for the rest, it is frustrating, but we can't let them define our gaming experience.

Teamwork is infectious. If we tenaciously maintain positive teamwork positions, encouraging good play through polite interactions, crisp communication, and leading by example, the cream will rise to the top. When the jerks and blowhards see success coming from something other than their mouth and their ego, maybe, just maybe, they'll begin to get a clue and begin the conversion process from lamer to gamer.
