[Adder]

I added [ihr] to the end of my name, and I encourage anyone else that only hits random to do the same.

Anyone from any of the servers is allowed to add the tag, the only requirment is that you always only hit random.

People need to realize that balanced teams are way more fun than rolling another team over and over.

Let's show the stackers what's up.

[Hell-met]

except no one knows what it means unless you tell them

[insomniaprincess]

was wondering what that meant when I saw you with it earlier

[Drunken F00l]

Same here. Was wondering why you changed your name or what clan you joined.

[Adder]

except no one knows what it means unless you tell them

WELL NOW THEY KNOW

[insomniaprincess]

I hear knowing is half the battle.

[Versed]

I phail

[wieks]

to bad [IHR] didnt stand for - I Hit Red

i would b a member ten-fold

but to be fair i am usually the first to get into game and i liek defense more...

[jwstohr]

I stack. I would rather be on a team that communicates and wins than one with a bunch of tards on it. I guess that is stacking though. And don't let wieks's excuse fool you, he is a stacker too.

Stacking is a byproduct of a lot of things. On A/D maps, red naturally gets stacked for a ton of reasons. Attacking requires ubers and coordination. Defense simply requires the death of the offense. Defense is also conducive to engineers and demos, two of the easiest pub classes to play (other than pyro.)

Stacking is also often mistaken simply for a bad class make up. For example, team A rolls team B. Team B has no medics. Team A has 3 medics.

Team B: "nice stack, assholes!"

Some people also just like to play together. Naturally good players, regular players, are going to befriend each other and want to get on the same team. They don't have ventrillo and want to shoot the shit and have fun together so they join the same team, stacking inadvertently. I say inadvertently because they're not stacking to whore points and win, they're stacking to have fun playing together.

IMO, 90% of "stacks" can be solved by:

-More medics
-Less pyros
-Less engies

It may not guarantee a W but it'll slow down the rape train.

Though this isn't really directed at Adder, I'm just sick of people crying stack when they lose with one medic who's off needling sentries half the game. If you give that much of a shit about winning, then fill in the class gap. If you don't care and just want to play whatever class you prefer, that's fine too, but don't whine when you get roflstomped.

The only thing that really pisses me off is when people suicide halfway through the game to join the team they think is going to win. People who deliberately stack just to win piss me off to a lesser extent.

I stack. I would rather be on a team that communicates and wins than one with a bunch of tards on it. I guess that is stacking though. And don't let wieks's excuse fool you, he is a stacker too.

This is incredibly lame. Communicates and wins? You said it yourself, you're beating down a bunch of tards, aren't you? Do you play games for a challenge or a self-esteem boost? If everyone had this same idea then only the good players who communicate would join one team. It's a self-fulfilling stackacy. Personally, I'm just as happy being the underdog and it actually feels like you accomplish something when a team getting pounded gets its shit together and comes back for a win or two.

On a lighter note, I noticed some "reverse stacking" going on today. People were waiting for red expecting the stack and most of the better players on the server randomed, stacking blue. gg.

Also, Adder, you know just as well as I do that picking random is the same as picking blue.
