He's the captain so he picks what class he wants to play. The other captain can't pick him. It really does boil down to whether the opposing captain wants me or not.

If the other captain picks me john is going to play scout on his team regardless. *In the event there are no other meds added he'd just kill the pug.

Its all pointless though. We've played 1 pug in the last 2.5 months but the legend lives on.

Yeah he doesn't want his good buddy to get fatkidded :<

Should be getting praised for being a true friend

I would say my scout play is equal to my medic play.

I'm cracking up that people think that my medic play is elite and the other captain is missing out. If that's not the case then why the tears?

John and I had to switch a couple times because he forgot he didn't have a crossbow. If someone is captain they can pick themselves on any class so what does it matter? You think the other team missed out on the mr popo medic x-factor?

We should ban captains from selecting their own class. That way they can't decide to pick themselves on their main class and throw off the balance of the pug. That's effectively what you're saying.

Last season (s29) we got one IM tryout and didn't make the cut. After tryouts dried up we tried making an IM team last minute and got turned down by those we asked. One open team asked us to play as starters but we opted not to play. We settled for a back-up role on alfa's team because that seemed more appropriate. Believe it or not JM and I didn't predict that 3 starters would get cut over team drama. No one on that team predicted that.

Reality is this wasn't a malicious act by us to steal the minuscule open prize pot. Just wanted to play some TF2 with the boys and all the playoff games were close/intense. Its so ignorant to call JM and I sandbaggers when IM/Invite teams didn't want us.

Division: Open to any division
Classes: Depends on the division (ie: I can only play medic above open)

we would prefer a team that doesn't play too late (no scrims played past 10:30 eastern time). 9:00 scrims and 10:00 matches would be best. Flexible on classes. Add me to discuss ^_^ we're available for tryouts right away. also cool with a back-up role if our schedule is too restrictive.

zilly will also back-up for your team if you pick us up

we're backing up for blanket fort

god bless

We placed 4th in the division this season. I just don't get it. Shouldn't we have won again for your argument to make sense? This is a friend team playing casually. Why else would I be playing?

The double standard remains. You're letting your personal dislike for John cloud your judgement. Reality simply doesn't match up to what you're complaining about.

so its ok for trip to sandbag (Invite veteran of 5 seasons with 49 invite matches played) and then bail on the IM winning team he carried without criticism

real fine double standard

and after season 27 n3, tambo, and vaati were all looking for invite teams up until the roster deadline. You can peruse their looking threads and such if you'd like. In fact I believe n3 was trying out for Omni5 invite. I bit the bullet and played medic to resurrect our team and give my friends a place to play at the last minute.

I mean if they're playing/rebuilding then this whole thread is unnecessary ain't it?

are they?

And despite finishing in 4th place tambo & vaati are creating an invite team for next season with 4/6 of our roster. Unfortunately JM's internet is just too unreliable to join them. Its not enjoyable playing with ping that spikes to 200-300 constantly. So do you hate my team or do you just hate John?

Why does Sporadic get excused for sandbagging due to losing players and my team does not?

Every season my team lost players due to rl circumstances or members wanting to play for a different team. You're channeling your hatred towards my good buddy JM onto my team and I. That ain't right.

Here is our roster turnover from the beginning:
season 25 (open): fuzion, reimu, and vaati
season 26 (open 2nd place): Mikey, zilly, Grimm, Rekuso
season 27 (im): meyy (losing meyy impact wise is like losing 2+ players)

I don't know how you expect a team that losses 3/6 | 4/6 | 2/6 players to just seamlessly transition to invite. How many players is Sporadic losing? They all seem to be LFT...

absolute hypocrite
