Spikey, Kawrae, BasingCrew, TWLB

[Cape]

what the fuck does it really matter? I mean yeah, we all know how fat cig smoke is, but that's beside the point. I'm sick of hearing people complaing about stealing players from other squads. If basingcrew was smart enough, they would have recruited an extra couple of backup spiders and terrs so that if somebody left, they could easily fill the void. Everyone has a reason for leaving, it's not like they sign on and one day decide maybe i'll type
?squadleave today. Obviously there was something they didn't like about your squad, mayeb a certain player, or maybe there chance of winning, or maybe there weren't any fat people on it. Now they have some of those things on dice, so leave them be.

True,True, and true

Well its obvious why they left

1. Spikey + Kawrae couldn't show how good they really were on a squad like basingcrew
2. BC has no chance at leagues
3. Dice wins twlb and they get their names in twlb arena

[Jrahen]

Well,Its a big loss for BC.

But they can pull it off by recruiting some experienced basers.

Megaman, I think Spikey and Kawrae could have done more for BasingCrew then they can do for Dice.


Nimrook,
Players leaving a squad is indeed what we see everyday in here, this shouldn't make it normal nor acceptable.
I've seen many zones, its not like this at others. And I dont think pointing out some squadhoppers is a bad thing to do. since they have been very egoistic about their choice, they did not say a word about it with anyone before they left and I still dont know why excactly they left. Ofcourse we'd still stay alive, I get about 5 PM's a day of players wanting to join, but yeah If I recruited those my squad wouldn't stand very long and strong. What I'm looking for is the right players to recruit, which is very hard at the moment.

If losing those two players really does some damage to your squad then you should rethink your ideas about running one.

[Jargha]

Dont blame cig it was my choice. Yes we screwed over BC yes we are bad ppl and no we dont give a shit

looool

If losing those two players really does some damage to your squad then you should rethink your ideas about running one.

Explain how 2 players leaving a squad does not damage a squad. And why I should stop running one because it did damage my squad.

[HellzNo!]

Explain how 2 players leaving a squad does not damage a squad. And why I should stop running one because it did damage my squad.

It's quite simple, if your whole squad is relying on 2 players to compete, and without them you're "fucked" then you should rethink your strategy dude. As a captain of a squad, you have to be prepared for shit like this to happen. Everyone goes through rough times, where there best players leave, but coming on the forums bitching about it won't do any good. I mean, after last twl, we lost blood/koan/mattey/fruitang plus a bunch of other starting calibre players, but you didn't see us trippin. Go out, recruit some active talent, which you should have done in the first place as backups, and get your shit together. That's why i never understood you're whole "recruiting only this many players for specific ships", when they leave, your squad is fucked.

[Sumpson]

It's not like it kills our squad, but it ofcourse does damage the squad like it did damage pallies when all those players left. When having all players play one ship for the squad, the squad is always playing at its best and most competitive which is a good thing for the teamplay within a squad.
I keep it as small as possible so the players can get used to eachother while playing and while being online. I didn't like the other squads in TW where there were tons of members you dont even know on the squad chat, a squad is based on it's community, by having everyone know eachother the players will get more loyal to the squad.
I felt betrayed by them for leaving and then not even having a good reason for it. Then noticed many players in game we're talking about it so I thougt it might be a good thing If I posted in here what excactly happened and how it affected BasingCrew.
The same day I posted this on the forums Apt contacted me that he has too many players on Juice and can't give them playing time on Juice and thus wanted to talk to them about joining BasingCrew.
I haven't heard any word from Apt anymore about this, but Royst was saying he did say something about in the juice chat and Royst was already thinking of joining us and since Apt wouldn't mind it he decided to join us. We also recruited Dwopple for BasingCrew as shark, he has been playing shark in ?go base allot lately and got good, not sure yet how good but he wanted to join badly so I decided to give him a trial period to check him out.
Those are both sharks, Suede has been moved from a shark to spider position since thats always what he wanted but we didnt have any sharks and he is also a very good shark. JeBu been moved from jav position to terrier position. We will be recruiting 2 more spiders hopefully Apt will help us out on this.
We're not totally fucked, just damaged. It wasn't like I was desperate about it so I got to the forums and whine about it. I thougt it might help and people seemed to be interested, it worked out fine.

Having backups is still the best thing to do, especially now that you're lossing some people and having to replace them on short notice. Before the player lock, what's to stop more from jumping ship? We all know it happens every year so why not be prepared for it, now more then ever with a player base unsure of their loyalties. While lossing these two players did damage your squad and has not killed it, the possiability of this happening during the regular season could. It is possiable to have that small community feel without sitting on the edge of being kicked out of TWL but it isn't easy. You have to seperate between backups and starters to start (this includes advising and focusing your people of their place/task) and within that you need to train up, even out disputes and mix up your lines according to the opposition to appease backups and advance the face/reputation of your squad through social means to bring on more talent.
