I have played in TBM games in Dash Bash, and time and time again when there is no admin the teams are So uneven it sucks the fun out of TBM. 8 vs 4 ?, 3 vs 9? 7 vs 5? What is wrong with this? I have had some VERY intesnse games with supra, CB, stan, Full Throttle, and many others. Teams might have been off by one, or two players then, but now its off by like FIVE. I know ALOT of us look at the HUD rather than the radar. Please, all I ask is be a good player and just look now again. I can hold out on lag when the teams are even or close. But when the teams are off by so much, really gets erriating...
All's I ask, is that you look at the radar and count the dots. If it is uneven, help out Dash has the team change code for public on.

Just one more thing to bitch about is that, if your going to be gone for like 10, 15 minutes just leave. Other people would like to get in. This is ALL basic 2+2 stuff here guys and gals.
-You get a Insent message, just leave and when your done come back (Unless you just say, "in dash bash")

Simple stuff makes the game so much fun. And it does'nt take a admin to change your color....just do /green /blue.

Please all....longer than 5 minutes, just leave so others can play...

Basic common sence all,
comments?

AKA Wild Wiskers in TBM....

Just ask someone to change and they probably will. If you're on the team with too many players then you can change.

Usually im always the team with less players. No one should have to say something when the other team is behide your spawn point and shooting you when your spawning, 50% of the time when the teams are even that never happens as much...

It's education. It takes time. Just stop playing and mention the uneven team several time. Talk especially to more mature players and veterans; they are the most likely to switch.

The simple things in life are the hardest to achive when unsupervised, Give most people supervision and they become high achivers. Other wise they become useless at most things, even a simple thing like deciding color becomes to much to handle.

I've come across this problem as well Choro. What I do: first I ask someone to switch, no matter which team I'm on. Then: If I'm on the large side, I switch, and if I'm on the smaller, I kick the heck out of the large side, and make myself feel good about winning in uneven odds. XD

In a game with mostly vets and/or people with common sense, an admin never has to intervene. Just ask someone to switch if you're on the smaller team, and just do everyone a favor and switch if you're on the bigger team. I've never had to ask more then twice before someone evens the teams.

I hear you just as much as everyone else...

Also guys its not that big of a deal, if we are just flexible anyone can change and we can have an even game, or dash could put team changing color codes in it.

@ChoroinicIce I know what you mean. I've had games (in dash) where even vets will come in on the stronger side so that its like 7 against 3. When you mention the un-even sides all you get is a response like "stop whinging". It doesn't normally bother me but last night it was 2 players + 1 bot against 7 players :[. Those people know who they are! And I would have thought they would know better XO.

Also not much fun for the newbies who spend all their time spawning then dying.

@OoFfa
I DEFENTLY can relate, it is sad that some people do that when they darn well know they should be on the other team.
@Jedi
I have noticed in ALOT of online games the team with less players sometimes comes out winning then losing....quite odd XD
@ALL
Dont forget I have had more good TBM games then bad, I do (or try not to) forget about those. Some people dont know how to play fairly, so be it. And yes I have tried time and time again to tell people that the teams are uneven, and I get no response. It's just a game, yes I know, but it makes the game a little better when you have less of a excuse. Lag, of corse will always be there but with all the stuff modders,scripters are pumping out I wont be suprised if they are able to make a auto balnce script for the public.
Until then... XD
