If the team has a strategy, I am more than happy to hunt with the pack and be a good wolf. I am a willing wingman during slayer games and will try to keep in voice contact with the team about opponent strategies and groupings.

If there is no strategy, I am full out BEAR. I am terrible at games like slayer and territories when the team has no strategy because I feel compelled to rush an opponent and try to inflict as much damage as possible before death. I hope only to cause enough damage that my teammates can collect some easy kills or gain control. It is not uncommon for me to have a stats line of 8 kills, 8 asst, 14 deaths during a game. My value as a bear is in CTF and assault games. I am more than willing to rush a base to start the flag moving or to get the bomb in the circle. I am also a willing human shield for a bomb or flag carrier if need be.

I have determined that, all too often, I am Lone Wolf.

Ouch.

I think that we should be the Bee. Bees try to attack you by them selves are rather ineffective and quickly squashed, but as a swarm they kill quite effectively. Now swarming takes much less planing and tactics than the wolf pack but that also means that it is more adaptable. If one wolf is taken out then a good chunk of the plan is gone. But with a swarm, it doesnt really matter if one or two bees get splattered, there are always others to replace him.

In this sence I agin advocate waiting up for another bee or two after you respawn before diveing back into the fight. Of course this is advice that i myself forget to use...

Perhaps it would be best if we assigned buddies befrore the game starts so that everyone knows who their support person should be? That way when the match starts you already have a buddy. The problem becomes when one person dies and respawns on the other side of the map.
Do you:
a) Wait for the respawn person to make their way across the map to their buddy?
b) Go on alone
c) Look for the closest group of buddies and join up with them, and the respawned person waits and joins up with other respawners.

All of these are viable options but I think that option C is the best choice. Discussion to follow.

why would you want it as that icky uniform wasp.... i mean i can't tell who is who every one is a freeking wasp!!

I had the number 6, but everyone in my group mistook me for someone else. If I go with the bee, everyone here mistakes me for someone else.

So I've decided to switch it up again.

Forgive me while I put on my serious pet peeve hat for a moment.

I'd like to make another plea for people to PLEASE try to keep the idle chitchat to a minimum during a game. Even in a custom game, a nonstop prattling in the ear gets old really quick, especially when its something you don't care about whatsoever for ten minutes straight. I'm not gonna point any fingers specifically (this time), but the offenders probably Know Who They Are. In a matchmade game its even worse, as there's no chance to strategize.

Tonight someone asked why EvadeEvadeEvade and The Beekeepers don't merge. This issue would be one of the major stumbling blocks in my way of being in favor of it. It's not the only reason, but its a big one. When I end up quitting for the night (and I'm not the only one) early rather than sticking around solely because of the annoying chatter, its getting to be a big problem.

For example, there is no need to announce and brag about every double kill in a heavily populated, small arena oddball game. We all know you're getting them every 3 seconds. We are too. Or at the very least, please use local speak instead of the team speak button.

/me takes off hat
ooh look, shiny things... /me wanders off.
