I like my feathers in a wad hehe. I agree though in after thought that
Team on FFA is lame. If there was a problem with other players or a
player being lame then there should be a challenge issued and it
should be taken to a team serever as it otherwise fooks the fun fer
everyone else there. I remember the clan GHOST guys that used to team
up. Lame. I agree WIZ FFA server are for FFA and team servers exist
for team play.
