Flood the missions with Enduring Medic Avoiders supporting a couple high-powered Strafers?

But that requires more coordination than we currently have.

Though this will bring down the Rage of Burn upon me (meh what else is new):

We really need as many of the active players in a fb convo (or some other kind of instant messenger) so we can rapidly request back-up/coordinate deployments. It's one of the things that's helped the RDD work as an effective unit in the past.

As long as you're posting them in the score thread in the HMW GD we're good. Psych will sort it out.
Since I've gone through ALL the friggin missions since the start of this thing I've likely got them but I am prone to mistakes when tired (and almost ALWAYS tired when doing this)

Speaking of, here's my last report before I go to bed & likely before the end of the event.

We could have done better, but I've also seenthe Bots do a LOT worse in the past so I don't personally think its that bad.
It was a format that didn't play to our strengths & we just did have some key people on our side active much/at-all (Myself being just as guilty of that)

What is a format that plays to our strengths though? I must apologise as I feel that some of my playing is to blame, I should have ran more medics.

You did fine ZW 8-)

Group coordination has always been a place the Cons do better than the Bots.

When we have an event where we're just dealing with each individual claiming their own kills we'll do better (assuming we're not funneled into the killing fields that the 6-11 & 1-11 event missions were this time)
Right now the Cons have more active High-Level players than we do so trying to face them head on in missions like that was just suicidal. Those Bots players that weren't invested in the event tended not to deploy into them thus depleting our already light back-up.

I've been talking to Psych as the week progressed and he understands where there were some mistakes made in how this event was implemented. He's a fair guy that wants a fair fight so he'll adapt and do better next time.

I cannot stress enough that as soon as there are new missions we'll turn off all the old missions and get things balanced.

But these missions need to be written, and not enough people are stepping up to help.
