Practices

[Pratt]

I'm not sure exactly what happened during last night's practice... I wasn't there. But I do have a request of everyone.

If you are going to participate in a practice, you need to plan to stay for all 5 maps. It becomes really tough in Left 4 Dead to reorganize things if people drop. Also, right now we are usually having to invite people to round out 8 players. These people might be (like in last night's case) prospective recruits. In either case, they are people we hope will continue to come to our rescue when we're short-handed. If we can't set an example and play through the game, these folks aren't going to want to take time out of their schedule to help us out.

We've all been through the frustration of being in a game and having it fall apart because people decide not to stay to the end. So let's not be those guys. I'm not pointing any fingers because like I say - I wasn't there. I don't know who left in what order and I don't want to know. We're trying to be as flexible as we can about practicing and still being productive so we can get better. We're mostly all tired of pub stomping and want to play in a more organized fashion so we can have quality games. In order to do that, we need to be reliable.

So please help us out. We understand things come up. Find a replacement, do what you can. We're all in this thing together guys.

Thanks.

Doesn't seem like we respond well to the formal structure of a practice. Maybe we should spend less time preping for matches with practice. And just play together and have fun and get to know eachother better. the rest will come with time. Personally I don't care if we get our asses handed to us every ladder match. I'm in this to hang out with some cool peeps and have fun playing a game with my friends. Maybe we need to get back to that aspect of the game and skip the practices for now.

thoughts?

Either way I'm willing to go with the flow.

Get your opinions out guys let us know what you want. The only thing thats going to keep this clan afloat is input from our members. Tell us how you want things done. Don't be shy. And don't feel obligated to take part in matches if you decide its not your thing. Don't just clam up and suffer in silence. That will only breed resentment. This is your clan to. Tell us what we need to do to make it feel more like home.
