    If you are reciting the Serenity prayer during your gaming session, maybe you need another outlet for relaxation and fun.

Conceptually, the balancer picking team captains only and then the team captains picked teams like backyard childhood sports would be cool. In reality it’d probably slow the starts by 10 minutes and butt hurt half the team players 😂. Still it’d be interesting if this is how it was done once in a while.
It works when you have a group that of people that have AT LEAST game sense and communicate.

That's RARE at D2F.

I said this before, Louie (RIP) would refuse to play when I asked under the same conditions UPSET is bitching about.

It's TERRIBLE gameplay.

Make it 2fort2k4 and all it does it WIDEN the spiral and elevator. It is all this server needs.

But, drippy refuses to run it once a week to test it.

    How about the O players who sit in spec for 5 minutes to see how the game goes and then join after they've seen what the d is like?
They should stay on yellow. :)

    You mean Upset?

Naw hes the one who joins a team, goes back to spec, joins a team, goes back to spec and then waits until it looks like he can join the team hes trying to stack and joins.

Sounds a lot like a pick-up game vs a pub

Im sure drippy will workshop this idea

It's always sad when the balancer sets the teams to like 5v10 and the 5 are God-tier D2F players that still manage to reek havoc out numbered two to one against the ten pissants.
This is usually an intentional gaming the balancer

Ooof, I've actually never really noticed that with him. Im not going to call people out but I see it happen a lot. Maybe they're afk though, I don't know. It's probably better to be afk before joining than to be afk mid-game. I had to leave a match last night to take a dump.

Edit: I've seen this mentioned before and the general assumption is that the D will never be the same as it was a few minutes ago. I guess the advantage is to see where the SGs are and if there's any holes in the D.
As far as it being a real thing, not sure how many people click autojoin or actually click red or blue. I generally almost always click auto.

    I click okay on the server message > Press 5 > Press 5

(auto assign > select Medic class, jajaja :P )

https://www.lunaticrage.com/drippy/custom.php#cookie I once got a cookie for switching about.

"Currently, you have a chance of getting a cookie if you switch teams to help balance them/improve match quality."

And I don't wanna join the winning team, that's just yuk :P (and that might mess up the algorithms in addition to my RQs/DQs even more o_O )

I always auto, but as I've stated, quite noticeable the folks that sit and see where certain people end up and what they're playing.

    ive autoed plenty of times. Also being first one to spawn in to see others do what ur talking about on the other team including you gg. Yes occasionally ill pick certain friends to play with to have more of a chance to play the objective, trying to enjoy the game and play with friends and not be on a team down by 5 and have no o and d. Least i dont RQ like gg does. Ill take a beating, although i have raged before we all do.

Well that's creepy. That exact quote was in the book I was reading last night.
It's the serenity prayer. It's recited in many recovery programs (AA, Al-Anon, etc).

daily prayer / sp has saved my bacon more times than I can remember.
