Wallace I told you this in person, but from my point of view in the CP, they were truly struggling till you guys switched, then we started seeing them pressing our lines and making it onto the Spools field. You guys made a huge difference to the flow of the game and you should be glad that your team has the potential to make that big of a difference in how a game is played. My hat is off to you guys, I agree with C-dog that I don't think I could have made the same decision but I understand it and am impressed with how your team stepped up and made that difficult decision, your award was beyond well earned.

When O.F.U says we could not have made that decision basically what we are saying is : "We know to much". The game before when it was chowda against poopoo, we were going to switch to the other side but, half the team already knew the plan so it ended up just being three of us to switch.

Well Kouza, we like to get involved with the planning and the command. If we weren't involved, I'm sure we would have considered switching and I would have personally be in favor of it.

teams were not even close as far as being evenly matched nor with the sheer number of players. Posted this once and got my account banned. It wasnt even close like oh 100 people off or so. Its called counting dust off the calculator. and fyi i can make new accounts all day. Forums are for speaking your mind minus the profanity. If you dont want that you should put it in your use agreement which i read and it says nothing about pointing out a mistake.

Um, it wasn't really a mistake was it?? the numbers (from what I heard) were pretty even...and in fact, the Villians had about a 3-1 advantage in players during much of the night game. But where it did turn out lopsided was the number of organized teams that went one direction...that is a result of General Al doing a great job recruiting. When you take on the responsibility of generalling a game like this, you should accept that if you don't recruit well, you will have problems. It has certainly happened to me before where I was general and didn't recruit hard enough or early enough, and I got my butt stomped!!
There is simply too much pre-planning and orchestration in these games to tell teams last minute they have to switch over...a couple of teams were pulled for this one, which was ok because they remained honorable and did not divulge planning info they had been privvy to, but it simply can't be that way on a larger scale.

Shameless since you apparently like to cause confusion and call others dishonest and threaten us with numerous ISP addresses why don't you man up and call me. You have no clue what you are talking about.
And no one was banned that I am aware of. Even I was banned so apparently there is a glitch somewhere and I promise you that I have never walked away from dissenters - you can voice your opinion but get your facts straight.

If you dont want that you should put it in your use agreement which i read and it says nothing about pointing out a mistake. It was really a matter of recruiting, I can think of many teams where its just a matter of getting a message sent to them. To my knowledge until the game started even BWC had gotten a message from Traffic (not sure exactly who sent it), and was going to be on the heroes side. They swapped teams before the game started. I am not going to say the teams were not uneven but, be aware that Splatbrothers does every thing in their power to insure that these games are played on an even playing field and, that players who registered after the "Preference Selection date", were placed on the villians side to attempt to balance the teams. House Solstice, did a great job running the field this game but, SOVA, was one step ahead on the recruitment front.

Well it appears that the teams were even but villains got all of the walk on players. Someone tell me how that is even. Teams were made to switch last year so i was told. and noone is hiding behind the forums when i called the office noone anwered and my original post was not confusing at all but when i got banned or whatever happened it got erased. So what would you do.

What I would do is let it go...It's just a game man. As long as the head count is close (it was) distributing talent is all about recruiting as it has been mentioned over and over. In the spirit of the game one of Splat's best teams made the switch to help even things up. This game is water under the bridge and I look forward to the next event. And win or lose I will make the best of it and have fun.

Havoc is right. It's done. It's over. Can you seriously say that you had a horrible time? I mean after all, we did play some paintball. If you are not having fun playing paintball, you are doing something wrong. I have been on the receiving end of a butt whooping and still had a fun time. Play the game for what it is... A game. Hopefully next time you will be put on the team that recruited.

LOL. OK OK. You definitely have the right to complain Spud. Hopefully we can play together soon. BTW, I am going to send a PM about a field up your way so as to not go too off topic in this thread.
