Meh, well I got my point across, without douche intentions, but hey if it sounds that way whatever, for the way I went about writing it? That was just for my own entertainment.

No hard feelings here man, I haven't been able to attend many of the last events obviously, so I had no way of knowing that, was just taking a guess. As far as the map, and 2 ways, I definetly agree there. We need it, maybe cheap compass's too just for practice with them. And as far as your last point, I in no way meant to imply that we don't need work. Honestly, even though we do win 99% of the time, I still am disappointed with our performance. But that is a thing we needd to discuss as a team, not on this thread. Your team board idea is probably a bad idea. If you read Thunder's post about not really keeping the separate squads except for actual events.

Whoa now, you may be jumping to conclusions here, I don't think the squads should be used for TD. Keep the squads, just don't use them for virtually everything.

I dont really see how the individual boards is a bad idea... Yes it does promote the very serperation we need to overcome in TD's. However, the days of all day TD's are OVER. They are useful (as maybe 30-45 minute ones) for warmups before scenarios, or even after a scenario. But that is all they are good for.. Maybe occasionaly we need to do a full one, but other than that, we need to do scenarios. During the TD's Im all for mixing it up, as well as certain scenarios where things need to be balanced out one way or another. Also during some scenarios we should mix it up as well, just to throw in the unfamiliar aspect. But overall, Thunder, you just said everything that I, and I assume others, have been thinking for a long time, its just that none of the rest of us have had the balls to speak up about it. THANKYOU. I personally see no douchebagness in that speach. It needed to be said, and thats all there is to it.

What do you mean "no one had the balls to say it". I fail to see what took balls to say. All he did was point out the obvious, and I thank you for that. By the way I did not really mean what I said about it being assholish, or douchebagish.
I also believe the TD's do provide some experience and practice. We just need to do as Thunder said and mix up the teams so we get more experience with our fellow brothers, and Sam. ;D
Not saying I'm not up for a scenario here and there. Trust me I am. Just seems like we can never pull a full one off due to team preference or availability. The last scenario I can recall was when we played with S.T.A.T. and Red Team was trying to capture the package (brief case). I say we do another one of those. Actually that is what we will do on 08/30/09 after practice.
*Please read up on tactics and team practice coming up*

Well after reading all that crap and might I say I enjoyed the pretty blue and red color coating Thunder used there on that post. Well now that I said that all that I think is left to say is " kill the red, kill the red, kill the red ".
And now to the bathroom to put some saline drops in my eyes for reading all that.
P.S. None of my post for Aug. 10, 2009 were meant to be offensive I am just berry berry happy for some odd reason. And no I'm not high.

Hey guys I have an idea....lets put our names in a hat and pick teams that way, and give all credit to me.....
Honestly, that is a great idea and we should definitely do that. However as pointless as it may be I still think we are outgunned and will continue to argue the point because it is in my nature to do so. Even though Thunder said that it's all down to individual performance because of his spectacular kills with the M9, I think that was more luck than anything. I also think that given the circumstances again it is not only very possible but extremely likely that he wouldn't have killed anyone. Also with the AK down currently and without me being able to figure out how to put it back together correctly that leaves another AEG off the red squad.
Having said that I think we should definitely split up teams...I haven't gotten to work under anyone in awhile and think that it might help me command squads better if I was following orders instead of giving them.

I didn't say its all about the individual performance cause I kicked ass with the M9 once, that was my example as to why armament is less important than some people think.

I also think that given the circumstances again it is not only very possible but extremely likely that he wouldn't have killed anyone. Lightning I see where your coming from and the whole thing is situational. Thunder could have just as easily did nothing to benefit the team that day. I do however support his side, because I to have used pistols (.1911, M9) at Mcdanel's house. I think I did fairly well, with just pistols and all. Plus it's a bitch when you run out of ammo every 15-30 shots and have to squat behind a tree and reload one at a time. Point is I think this whole thing is all unpredictable and purely situational. Meaning Lightning may have did well with a pistol, even though he was going up against AEG's. However the chances of him choking and not getting those kills are just as likely. I dont really see how the individual boards is a bad idea... Yes it does promote the very serperation we need to overcome in TD's. You guys take me way to literal. I'm only saying that by what Thunder said, Team boards sounds like a bad idea. I'm not saying don't do it, or I won't use them. Simply saying they don't promote the mixing of teams that we would like to try.

Personally I think the team boards idea is a good idea but I don't think that it should just be with the two squads that we have for when we are together as a team but more for when we have our own backyard skirmishes....honestly think about what kind of benefits we are going to have by having a secret thread that none of our teammates in the other squad can see? I think we make temporary boards or even permanent ones with temporary passwords that we can change to suit our needs. Back to the irrelevant argument we are outgunned when it comes to the statistics on our guns but honestly I'm fine with it.

The backyard things only, that way we can get some team planning in beforehand.

Alright listen closely, because I'm only saying this once. After this your losing posting privileges. This is for everybody. Don't bicker on the forums. They are there to discuss different topics, not bitch about who sucks at airsoft. The teams are obviously unbalanced when it comes to armament. That doesn't matter. It's individual performance, and that individual's ability to work well with his/her team.
Stop the bickering of lose posting privilege.

What bickering? I see no bickering here. In fact the post right before yours is in agreement.
It seems to me like you're just frustrated and feel like taking it out on these forums.
