SC|Wizard,

Not that I disagree with anything you're saying, since I respect your
opinions on the subject, but how we do things in some eyes [like Chicken's]
may seem alright, were as to others [like SC|Wizard] it's inappropriate.

Everyone plays different based on their environment, and Nostromo is no
exception.  You can't use the tactics you need to play on the Nostromo
Lith-II server at places like Blue Sun James Bond Lithium, or Yoda's Rail
Barn. Simply put, you die a lot faster.

IMHO, I'd like to see the runes "detuned" a bit. The weapons are rather
balanced, but I agree with Wizard in regards to the ammo loadout being
reduced. As an admin on the server, I have the option to change these
settings, but I leave that up to the lead admin. The only change I have made
to the server was to place hook damage back on after it's been gone for over
a year. [suprisingly, it took about 3 days for anyone to notice!]

You're not the only individuals who have noted that our server [especially
as of late] "sucks". Members of my own team have also stated their dismay
over the last week or so. [Not over tactics, but regarding the server in
general] What is amounts to is we're having a daily "clan war" with one of
the other resident Clans on the server, {GDI} [ http://www.clangdi.com ] and
that's where a lot of this "teamplay" has been directed. Up until about 2-3
weeks ago things have always been cordial between us all, but lately there's
been a lot of  tension. Either competition has gotten out of hand, or
something still unspoken of occured. Coupled with the possibility that one
of their guys *may* be running a bot, it's gotten worse.

In either way, we [SS] refrain from teaming up on anyone outside of {GDI} as
practice unless it's warranted. which in reality isn't that often. Our
teamplay has stemmed from observing our opponents actions and compounding on
their tactics, using them against them, and using them every time they make
a showing.

Please don't think we beatdown on everyone that comes on the server or on
just anyone. I'd like to think we're better than that. Although I feel our
tactics as of late are a *lot* more aggressive than what we're used to
doing, I feel we're still within the limits of good taste.

As for "this guy" we've beaten on for a few days... he's in the above
mentioned Clan. Whether that justifies our methods in anyone elses opinion,
I am unsure. In my opinion, it does. I may be wrong for that, but that's a
decision I'll deal with as both team leader of [SS] and as a player. How my
team plays is almost directly dictated by mine and my lieutenants decisions.
They aren't responsible for my choices, but as team players they do honor
them. Don't fault my team for following my decisions. That lies on my
shoulders.
