Hey guys and Ma'aam I just wanted to send out a quick thread on our team practices ect......

In the past few weeks I have spent alot of time with LoneWolf and I have got a taste of what our Srgt @ Arms does. You guys have no idea how much this man does on TT and UF and its pretty sickening to see that this guy spends countless hours keeping UF going and we as a unit can not get our collective ca' ca' together to show up once a week for a practice. Or for that matter once a month. This man works not one but 2 jobs and while we all are doing what ever it is were doing Wolf is preparing for Practices Bm's Scrum ect..... It's just a shame that we can't handle 1 freakin hour to get together, I'm just as guilty as anyone in this. We all have something else we have to do it's just funny how Lonewolf always seems to make time for us and we don't have the collective integrity of a slug to give him 1 hour a week, SAD SAD SAD....

P.S. Double dawg dare ya to respond!!!

Well, atleast know that UF doesn't stand alone in this problem.. But atleast we've improved a bit :)

Nice speech, good luck B)

Aye, I am commited to making practices.

Lone is a great guy. Why can we not make time to get together and do some practices?

Well for the Few that Sent Email out, They are Excused...They Gave fair warning they weren't goin to make it...But the others are a Different Story altogether...
What Can you Say, people will be people...

@ All
I have to admit I spend about 1 - 2 hrs on a map learning all the tricks, best escapes, where the arrows take you & from every possible angle you can take on them. I put a lot of time into training you all before you guys even get there ! I am 1 of a few hand full of people who has all maps memorized like the back of my hand !

Here is a example :
The other day I was showing Red Seal, Napalm's maps ! I was dirving back wards (mind you I have not been on his map since they came out (about 6 months ago)cause no one plays on them) when I said out loud to my self,"I know there is a rock here some where." Now Red Seal says to me (we were on voice)," How did you know that ?" Its all in playing the maps and noticing land marks,color changes,colors in the sky above me, or maybe its noticing where a arrow or a bounce pad is. The point is, don't just play the game when you play. Study it, hell I even study the enemy. Believe it or not we all have a certain way we play (do the same thing over and over). Those who study the game don't play the same way ever.

Red Seal made a comment to me the other day. He said," Man I hate playing against you !" I asked him why and he said, "Cause I never know what you are going to do! " Yet Red Seal knows that others like RX make a certain move when provoked. Meaning RX (this is just a example) when charged head on or when he first gets the scrum all ways backs up to the right. These are all things you must teach your self to study if you want to get to my level of playing.

Another item you must teach your self is to drive by radar more then 50 % of the time. I can not stress this enough people. This is my Biggest Pet Pea ! I hate it when my own team mate is not watching the radar and runs into me when I am using a arrow or when I am about to do a trick to score and guess what, dumb butt John Doe runs into me and cost us a goal do to him not watching the radar. I laugh when I see these people on other teams. Hell I use them type of people against there own team every chance I get.

The whole point is to all this, if you want to get better stop playing the game and start studing the game and if LONEWOLF offers training, it is something you really want to take part in. I promise you you will learn something. Hell, Red Seal even taught me 2 new tricks on a old stock map that I never even thought to try ! See even a old dog like me can be taught new tricks. B)

Wonders how long it took Lone to type all that up, knowing his typing speed?

J/K my friend you got skills on the field I wish I had ya don't need to type to score or be a killa!!!

I use my radar when I play TT. A bit too much, tho...

Well, in part with what LoneWolf said, I have studied the skills of all TT adversaries that I encounter, and what lvl of skill I'm required to use against them

Example: Tanty, I can do a simple 1--2--3 slide move to avoide his camping and score a goal (very simple), and then there's RX, Paisano, and Tally. Now I know their skill and I must increase the level of skill usage to outwitt them and score a goal (even if it means circuling the goal for half a minute to create an opening, or look for other alternatives, or back out if I see little to no possibility of scoring that goal)

In other words, Don't be predictable, predictability can break u'r scrumming misserably B) because if players realize that you go by a set pattern, and nothing but that pattern, they'll know exactly when and how to block you.

In short - creativity is the key.

Yes, that's right. Always make sure that the goal is open and abailible.
