Team Scrum is a totally different animal when compared to indie scrum. I've learned this lesson the hardway, boy.
It's all about teamwork and passing and clearing a path. It's really not for all players. Some are better at indie scrum while others are better at team scrum.

There are some mysteries to TS that continue to baffle me. For example, you can have a 5 on 5 game with the same players and have radically different outcomes from one game to another. How is that? Same players... Same level of skills....but totally different results. How much impact does luck have on the game? How about the MOD design? I will admit that I do my worst on MonkeeMan's new mods, but kick booty on Rooster's and Dash's mods for whatever reason. Can the type of mod make a difference too? For example, another shameful admission is that I have lush treads...I perform better on lush maps but not as well on frantic or spooky maps. Can the same be said for others? Most of the elites can play as well on any surface, I know.

What about the subject of chemisty? How much impact can one player make on a team? For example, last night when Memphis was on our team (Me, Bolo, Sniper and Tankgirl), we kicked arse against Hanskta, MJ, Fried Chicken Ben, MonkeeMan and Phoenix 13 to 7. When Memphizzle left, we lost the next game 14-12. It was baffling. Can one player make THAT kind of difference in TS? I think it can, such as last night's games. I've seen one player join a game and totally change the direction of that game (sometimes in a positive way, sometimes not).

Note: Here is a screeny from one of our great games last night. I was SharkTank, TankGirl was MaaM. By the way, another mystery to TS is revealed by this screenshot. You will notice that Bolo and Hanksta are at the bottom of the list with zero goals, but that does not demonstrate how great they both played! They both smoked/killed tons of tanks and made countless passes as they played mostly defensively. In the previous game, Bolo scored something like 7 goals. Hanskta led the scoring in the third game. Go figure.

@Ben
lol true the higher my blood alcohol content the higher my score go fig... Prob because I stop reaching for the beer next to my mouse when im not drunk, obviously I dont need to continually reach if im at the point of non-soberness that I want to be at. Kinda all makes sense now :)

On the same topic those games last night were awesome. We def need a 6 or 8 man server for Team scrum... Dont know how we made it all those games with just the 6 to 8 of us but that was fun... And not a complete cluster-f.

^ WORD! Definitely have to second that one… 8 man server.

Yet more examples of the mystery of Team Scrum....

I always find it amazing how some teams can still win even when they are outmanned and outgunned as last night when Ben, Lonewolf and I won despite it being 3 on 5.... Here's a pic...

Another strange thing that happens also occured last night. Basically, we lost one game and then proceeded to plaster the very same team the next game by an 18-4 score! Same map and almost the same players on both sides... We might have gotten Sniper or Memphis (again, we come back to my question about how much difference a single player can make on the outcome of a game!).

Wish I coulda stayed on for the later games. A couple of those guys earlier last night were just screwin everybody up… Milk & ouch to be specific :) Coulda done w/out another person or two, but ya know.

Yes those where some great games last night ! That first one shocked the hell out of me ! I even rember some one asking if we wanted him to switch and I said," no we will be fine ! " 3 on 5 though we did some great team work last night. For those of you that are saying, " I don't see Lonewolf ! " I was SmokeSome ! All I can say is, I would loved a shot at the 3 on 3 Champs last night ! I think Fried Chicken, Gladiator and I would of painted the town with the tank brains ! Great job last night you 2, I will team up with you 2 any time, if the chance ever comes up to take on the Champs ! B)

Email jangles

We doubled the score against ho, X, and redbeard the other night

B

?

Wow... Doubling that team? Holy smokes! Tally Ho, Tha_X and RedBeard? Who is RedBeard anyway? I KNOW it's a vet using an alias btw.
Just don't know who...

Well I have to admit something but I will not go into detail ! RedBeard is not a old Vet he is very new ! We have become very close friends in a very short time ! We have chatted together both late at night in TT(one night alone we sat in Dash's or Roo's and talked for about 1 1/2hrs.)and via email.

Also Paisano I would love to take the Champs on if we(you, Freid Chicken and me, the team work we had the other night when it was us verse 5 was unreal ) ever get the chance ! B)

Some good games in the last few nights, Fried chicken, lone, lil, memph, pai, etc, Good fing games...
