Thanks to Neo Crusader and IconJade for submitting some polls! NC's will come next time but for this time round i'm featuring IconJade's as it's been a hot topic that's been around longer than N_V, yes N_V, we're living in the past again! :P

But it's also a topic that's often brought up, normally by a bunch of n00bs who can't find backup. Enough with the babbling! Onto the poll!

If you go to the "join mission" page and the available mission is 5/1 against your faction with 3:00 minutes remaining do you…

Technically, I check to see if there is a better mission, weigh the options and try to put my guys in the best option open to them and if there isn't, I'll just jump in regardless as long as I don't think it will work against the con(s) already in the mission.

I am highly torn between options 1 and 2. Mainly because I do both :D

I jump into the mission regardless of numbers, for the most part. I have seen on more then one occasion that once I have joined a mission were the 'Bots are outnumbered it will encourage other Autobots to jump in based on seeing more Autobots in said mission.

But I will weigh my options too. If I see a mission that is 5 against 1 will little time left and a mission the is 5 against 3 with a little more time left I will jump into the latter because the odds are better for the Autobots as a whole.

I do look at the numbers, but I usually jump in anyway. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

I usually look to see if there is a mission I could actually help, but mostly end up putting one of my team members in it anyway. I do it in hopes that someone will do the same if I'm in that situation.

Well... at the times I'm usually playing, it seems there's always about two missions I can actually join before I'm forced to start spawning new missions, in which I am the first one to join. Also, when I join missions on my iPhone, I have to zoom in too far to register to actually be able to notice how many people are already in that mission (that part falls outside of the screen), so it's just first come, first serve, even if I am the only 'Bot to join a mission with 10 'Cons already in it and 5 seconds on the clock (again, the zoom usually means I can't see the remaining time before the missions starts). I've probably been that guy that needed the back up more often than I realize...

But I most certainly make it my business, when I do play on a proper computer and have a complete overview, to see if there are any 'Bots outnumbered in a mission, and I will always throw in the best 'Bot I got to give that other guy some back up. Let's face it: the best bragging rights are to be had in winning outnumbered missions, and my 'Bots usually get in a hit a two, so it hardly ever is a complete waste of resources.
I'm so meta, even this acronym...

Real men will fight regardless of the odds. Knowing they will die will not deter them if what they fight for is worth fighting for.*

It's best to assume every link I post is NSFW, and every post I make is just me taking the piss.

Missed the vote but oh well. I go down the list which ever mission is open I toss'em in. Doesn't matter who's in it. If I have the urge to look then I'll help out the 5/1.
