I don't know I think it was more that everyone is just a bunch of cunts and don't want to play maps like FuShe. Also, there is a team shuffle option in BF2CC, and it might be worth testing for a bit.

Possibly. Worth looking into the shuffle option - if I can just find somewhere to put my second monitor so I don't spack BEEF out with BF2CC. If something else constructive comes from this it might be to revise and/or reiterate the server rules too.

This is what I think happened, and after the frustration of the previous raping by the plane I think we on the raping side may have seen it as blowing off some steam, albeit after the previous offender had left.

Team shuffle could be a good thing to try, although when its balanced (as it usually is) then its good to get a squad and keep it working together. I think trying to spread 5punkers across both teams is the best option, because changing squad-members every map would make it feel a bit more disjointed for me I fear.

I'm not sure anything necessarily needs to change, but last night was something of an anomaly. We need to remember to make randoms feel welcome at all times, and go along the "innocent until proven guilty" line for admining on the server, and of course stick to our own rules.

I don't like the idea of team shuffle, I like it when we're all on the same team, it just seems... right. 5punk vs Everyone Else ftw.

I do like it when we have a 5punk squad and we kick ass, but I don't want to do it to the point where the other team is having no fun.

This :above:

It's probably fine if the server is well populated but otherwise we should spread out.

Down with this sort of thing.

As well as making it harder to keep our server populated and even have a game, it's rather counterproductive given the work that's being undertaken to increase the site's profile and attract new visitors.
