Move this if in an inappropriate section.
One big gripe of mine in pugging is the organisational time. What I mean by this is the time taken to;
a) acquire players
b) get players on the server
c) assign captains
d) pick players
e) pick classes
f) pick map
g) try join the game
h) try join the game
i) try join the game
...
Perhaps before this Sunday (or any time really, it is better that we be as affirmed as possible whilst maintaining some flexibility for those who have lives) we could build some teams to pug against each other. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy spending time with you in TeamSpeak, but... how about before the date of the event, we:
Pick two captains here, pick a few maps and build teams. From the forum it'll be easier to make sure the teams are reasonably balanced. Map votes can be done here so they can easily be tallied.
I've noticed often on TeamSpeak the frustration of some folk as they spend 1-2 hours waiting for the pug to start, only to be able to play half a round as they have to go. It's not fair on them. Streamlining this, I hope, will allow more play-time and less faff-about-time. Of course, I'm ever aware of those with an unpredictable schedule. I hope though, however, that you can see the benefit in some form of structure.
Example registry:
Crusader: volunteering as captain (state whether wanting to play or be a captain)
Suggested date and time: 26/07/2015, 1800 CEST (suggest your preferred date and time)
Maps: mb2_alderaan, mb2_dotf, mb2_lunarbase (suggest the maps you want to play)
Perhaps best keep it to nominating three maps (the average we play).
Feedback is much appreciated. This should all be about making the most inclusive compromise between all of us. I'm hoping some of you are willing.
