    Earlier today I tried to leave my team of 11 to join the enemy team of 7 to balance out the teams. The server wouldn't let me, stating something about unfair.

Now I don't know about you, but 11 v 7 seems pretty unfair to me. Maybe relax the team balancing slightly to account for these massive team imbalances?

    Quality over quantity bud. Take a look at this screenshot for example.. https://ibb.co/fXnm2BW I was running circles around a defense led by Fred.

    To be fair Matt, that red team lineup was a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Mos Eisley in Star Wars. A defence led by Fred is like putting a silk hat on a pig. Just kidding… I like that saying though.

    Quality over quantity only goes so far. You can't help people who play a capture the flag game like a death match game, and you can't help people with 100 hours played compete with people with thousands of hours played. The balancing the server does seems to work well enough most of the time, but there are times where it does get silly and stops making sense.

Balance in this game is nigh impossible, because of the skill gap between newer players and those that have been playing for a long time, the game is over 20 years old now. Adding to that is the disappearance of most other servers, so all skilled players are more likely to spend their time here, further widening this divide. There are no good answers to this problem, but if you take away player control, you have to get it right.

    No matter how "balanced" it gets, it never is.

Even I can't get by 5 soldiers in the spiral.

You put two HW ele, one top spiral, demos bottom ele and in the bottom spiral.

4 engies in the basement and 4 engies floating with 5 soldiers, it doesn't matter.

I played like a 7vs14 game this weekend and it was me brah med and the island of misfit toys on defensse, we lost.

    If you look at who was on which team, they were.

I mean, FFS, LG being on a team .... nevermind.

Why do you play under the names of other players?

To fool certain players who are obsessed with me. It works pretty good - shoutout to gaba for the idea.

    You fooled me. Remember when I said “when did Thanoulis get good???” And you said it was actually you. Why Thanoulis though? Why not just “player”?

    It's an infinitesimal point but I believe you said *godlike*. Why Thanoulis? No reason really. He's quite the taciturn bloke though isn't he? At least he isn't a nudnik. Ah cmon using "player" is so humdrum.
