I really wish that pug.na wasn't dead until after midnight, the games are usually at least close to balanced and people (for the most part) don't act like complete idiots. It's honestly more fun than anything else you can do without a team. Also, if pug.na were to come back to life and the high open through invite crowd were to actually play it, mixes would be better and there would be a lot less bitching about people rolling them.
I personally love the fact that I, some idiot who has never been on an open playoffs team, can play with the better half of invite no questions asked. A lot of the people I know are fucking terrified of playing pug.na because they see an average of 5 invite players per pug, and as a result it's always dead. The fact that mixes are the only irc pugs most of those people have played doesn't help, they expect the level of bullshit to remain constant.
