Practice, Practice, Practice
Practice, Practice, Practice
First, Sorry for being late last night. I've been unbelievably fatique with a arse kicking cold and was comatose on the sofa til 8:30.
Any practice is great but what I think would be better is if we stuck to at least 2 maps only. It's difficult to get into a routine if we change a map after each end. I was enjoying Badlands even though we struggled but we'll never learn a map unless we do it to almost death. Badlands is probably one of the better maps we've played to date. It allows both teams to push and pull and co-ordinate a little more than the likes of dustbowl (far to small a map imho).
So would it be an idea to try and plan 2 maps to play for practice?
Would it also help with getting practice underway on time (or close to it) by doing a roster? If we post a practice schedule up and have a yay or nay from everyone then we can figuring out who is to play what prior to starting practice so there's less confusion. What do you think?

Definitely agree on the maps idea. I rarely know what to do on certain maps (eg. gravelpit) so running them a couple of times would really help.

We should start on maps we rarely see on Festers (like gravelpit).

I agree Bbloke, we need to stick with one map or two till we know what we are doing, but somehow we still need strategy for the others. As for the roster idea-one of your best ideas yet. I know I spent the better part of yesterday fixing my connection thinking BoF 1 needed a back up because no one really knew who was showing up. Having a "yes/no" would make it easier than just browsing the forum for those few who responded to practice posts. I find myself stuck playing the classes no one wants to play. Don't get me wrong-that's what I signed up for. But when the time comes to actually play, who's going to play those classes? I think team one needs a team meeting. I also like the idea of playing more pub highlander-I tried to have a small informal practice last night. I got 10 ppl who showed up without notice. Even though most of them were unregistered, it still helped just playing highlander.
Also, Bluebreadtruck's sandwich strategy WORKED-and I will be telling BoF 1.

Also, the impromptu highlander was pretty fun.
The sandvich thing was a strategy? Ha nice. He was a distraction since we had so few but I doubt he would live with more than 1 person actively shooting him
