ETF2L – Latest activity in “Why not recruit instead of folding?” https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/ Reply by GibbZ https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/page-6/?recent=114046#post=114046 I really have to agree with eon on this. Really kootchikoo, clans drop for a reason. What you're saying is pretty much "Why not just not fold!? Its so easy to just recruit loads of people and still play season 6!" Simply patching stuff up by recruiting whatever lower skilled players they can find at the time isn't going to make the clans any more stable and isn't helpful at all towards the community. It's stupid to think that would even help, just because you want your 6-0 points :P Teamwork and stability is built over time, new players take effort to blend into the team. People aren't going to stick around and make this effort if theyre not completely happy with the lineup or at all playing with people they like (in most cases, playing with friends). Nor are people going to want to stick around just to lose every match this season. Funnily enough, alot of people find it less fun when all they do is lose. So eventually people will leave if loads of randoms are thrown into the mix just keep the clan from folding. As much as i'd like to agree and wish there were less clans folding these days, it isn't going to happen. You can't expect everyone to be like loco and never give up :P Do agree with reforms staying in the season and keeping their name though. Yet I still play with you :(]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=7255&post=114046 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:44:51 +0100 Reply by tapley https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/page-6/?recent=114046#post=114031 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=7255&post=114031 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:18:07 +0100 Reply by illii https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/page-6/?recent=114046#post=113887 generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=7255&post=113887 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 12:04:02 +0100 Reply by Ino https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/page-6/?recent=114046#post=113877

It's not a statement. It's a question.
Besides, what has that to do with the issues discussed in this topic? If anything it proves you don't have to fold after one setback.
No offence Koeitj but you were arguing that it is so easy to reform a team out of clanless or unknown players to prevent the foldage, right? Maybe not every team leader is about to recruit every shit and untrustworthy player they can get. they may have standards and want players around them who they can trust. who they know from the past and who ain't wrecking their clan image. this was exactly the point with my teams back in TFC thus we called it the day. I'd do the same if I would face the choice again in TF2 and this has nothing to do with elitism in any kind of form.
Mads was a nice guy, he fit in the team. Wasn't the most blessed player skillwise, but did his job and worked in the team. The only real mistake we made recruiting was Deek (I wont go into details about that).]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=7255&post=113865 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 10:47:02 +0100 Reply by kitty jones https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/page-6/?recent=114046#post=113856 Besides, what has that to do with the issues discussed in this topic?

I never been proven wrong on this matter though. Only thing that has been proven is that peoples opinions on this subject vary. There is no right or wrong. If you say I'm stubborn that just means you can't accept the fact that your opinion isn't necessarily right.
You have no clue how ironic that is, stubborn implys i dont take on other peoples opinions, i do. Your implying your right and everyone else is wrong (either that or your not getting your true message across or im not understanding it correctly) I'm implying none of us is right. It's not black and white. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=7255&post=113791 Wed, 28 Oct 2009 00:33:50 +0100 Reply by eoN https://staging.etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-7255/page-6/?recent=114046#post=113783 I never been proven wrong on this matter though.

Just bring in the personal attacks. Just a method people resort to if they lack the intelligence to debate in a normal fashion.
You don't understand what he means. It's an expression. Having a thick head means you don't listen to what others are saying, you think what you say is right and the rest is just bullshit. . I understood him perfectly. I don't think you understood what I meant. Now I could start with personal insults, but I'm not like that.
oh and btw wasn't it Koeitje who made an e-drama after the rejects got punished for recruiting a banned player? guess he shouldn't rise his voice that much against others when it comes down to player recruitments who actually fit the team in every aspect it needs.
Yes, we recruited a banned players because the admin team did jackshit about it. I even have logs of anakin saying there basically was no admin working on AC at the time. Besides, what has that to do with the issues discussed in this topic? If anything it proves you don't have to fold after one setback.
i disagree with this. so many clans have struggled through the season even if it means they finish bottom. this is greatly appreciated by everyone in the community. it means that matches dont have to be defaulted and matches that have already been played are not time wasted... so id strongly urge all teams to try and finish the season. also means u salvage a little pride by not folding : )
You hit the nail on the head there flush. It's not just HH folding, there are many other teams that fold for various reasons. Especially folding for a reason like not getting the results they expected pisses me off. All you are saying in such a case is that you want everything handed to you on a silver platter and you don't want to put any effort in it.]]> generator=rsdiscuss&baseurl=https://staging.etf2l.org&feed=forum&forum=league&topic=7255&post=113713 Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:47:04 +0100
