If you want to play with your friends, join their team at the start of the round and stay there. If you end up on the "bad" team, then don't ruin other people's fun just so that you can play with your friends. That's just selfish and doesn't help the server at all.

I'm also sure that you can afford to be on a different team than your friends sometimes. It's not like you're conjoined twins. When you can, play on the same team; when you can't, then have fun killing each other.
