Alright Rev Teammates, this is your captain speaking .... um hm....

Rev Team......Attention!

i delicate this thread for our strategy discussion against the Legends Team.

First of all, I would like to divide the team into 3 squads:

Frylock (Free Squad Leader)
Warcow (Tur Squad Leader)
Bot (Grey Squad Leader)

I would like the squad leaders to train n find me the best 5 ppls for your category...... i believe the squad leaders i selected know which team mates r best suited for their category.

I need the squads ready ASAP.

Squad Leaders are to report to this thread with their squad list (preferably list in skilz order).

Go Rev Team Go!

Indeed.Congratulations to everyone who made the team.Good luck!

[Warcow]

Wolfy, are you sure I should be turtle leader over you or bottle? I mean, I'll gladly do it, but just so you're sure . . .

[Tag Captain]

I'm currently leader of my (one-person) clan, so I'm going to need someone to hold on to it while I'm in Team Revelations. Anyone who will do this (and give it back once it's over), please PM me.

On a side note, I've decided to join netjak on Banff for the duration of the tournament. There just seems to be more people that I know on Banff from NJ than SI. Sorry to all SIs, but if you were online more I'd still be there. I haven't seen Darque, draquist, mel, nads, resc, blud, Snipes, FA or anyone I knew from last time I was here.

Edit: Warcow, if we're doing 1-scout, I probably won't even be doing turtle. And wolfy is the captain, so he won't be leader of any disciplines; he oversees the whole team.

I think the selections are good ones. As for who should play grey, my initial thoughts are:

Myself, as i'm leading the grey section and I'm pretty damn good at it.
Wolfy, as he's captain and has to do all 3 disciplines.
Realist, who's an excellent grey player from what I remember.
Allstar, a decent grey who managed to beat me a while back.
Twelve, since he plain sucks at turtle, so he has to do freestyle and grey.

That is, of course, unless Warcow wants to do grey, as I've never had the pleasure of playing him.

[Jonspen]

lol,

I agree with all, apart from Swift being a reserve.

I mean, no doubt, swift has skills, probably exceeding my own, but presuming he is playing grey, shouldn't Mithrandir made the grey squad?

I do want to play grey Bottle, I know I've never competed in any of the tournies, but I am quite certain I can handle myself as well as any of the guys on your list. You'll have to play me to decide

Also, sticking me in freestyle just isn't the most solid of ideas . . .

[greendaybum5]

just wanted to congratulate everyone that made it, good luck against legends and have fun with only one scout it makes a big difference

[Warcow]

Alright guys, after some examination of our roster . . .

We have a problem.

Basically, we have a two dimensional squad, that meaning, we have players that can turtle and grey, and players that can free and grey.

Since not everyone can play grey, we have to have someone crossover, and that presents a huge problem.

My recommendations are this.

According to Bottle, 12 should be playing grey, I haven't seen 12 turtle, so I wont disagree for now.

One Grey spot down, One Freestyle spot.

Myself, as turtle captain, will be turtling, and for those of you who have played my freestyle, know that I am not reliable, I should not be freestyling.

Two Grey spots down, One Freestyle, One Turtle.

Wolfy plays all three since he's team captain.

Three Grey, Two freestyle, Two turtle.

This leaves us with a problem, we now have four guys left.

Allstar, Frylock, Bottle, Realist.

Each of these are prospective grey players, Realist is a must, he is definitely our best grey. He has also said he CAN NOT turtle, that leaves him in freestyle.

Four Grey, Three freestyle, two turtle.

Bottle was at one point hailed as the supreme turtler of FPS, so despite any doubts he may have, he needs to be appointed to the turtle team, because we are also lacking turtlers. Now, we're stuck, Bottle is the last Grey entry, which forces both allstar and Fry to turtle . . .

So now, we have a huge problem, Fry says he can't turtle, he can, maybe not at Wolfy's level, but he can, but we also don't really want to leave him out of the grey squad.

ACK! It's such a mind bender, any thoughts guys?

EDIT* Okay so basically.

Turtle: Warcow, Bottle, Wolfman. Freestyle: Realist, Allstar, Twelve, Frylock, Wolfman

Confirmed Grey: Wolfman, Bottle.

So, we need two of the Freestylers to turtle rather than play grey . . . Or not play freestyle, and switch to turtle and one grey maybe?

Either way, that is my analysis so far, I need someone to comment.

[Bottle]

I've had enough of Tag Captain. Post #10,000!

Anyway, down to business. I saw this exact problem when I was looking at who would be grey. When I picked my team, it had a balanced 5 turtlers in it. This one doesn't.

Now, I have two suggestions. Either one of the team WILLINGLY gives his place to someone like Snarr (who is a kickass turtler), which isn't likely or fair. The second is to have Fry and Allstar turtle. Fry CAN turtle, no matter what he says. He's beaten me before. I have also played allstar at turtle, and while there was room for him to improve, he handled it well. With a bit of training I think he could do well.

Here's what I would suggest then:

Wolfman- free, turt, grey
Bottle- grey, turt
Warcow- grey, turt
Realist- grey, free
Twelve- grey, free
Allstar- turt, free
FryLock- turt, free

The only weakness in that team for me is allstar's turtling. Plus my turtling if we're using 1 scout.

Wolfy, I'd like that invite if it's not too much trouble.

First, I'm no longer playing so I would be extremely rusty. Second, I would need to be adept at a second skill, which I'm not. Third, I have never been on the level of a bottle, realist or wolfy so I'd be a dangerous choice.

Thanks for the compliment though.

Good luck to the team! Teach those legends guys a lesson!

[Wolfman]

well, squad leaders, why make things so complicated....

plz consider my suggestion.... (note that we r a 9 man team.. sub included n they need to play n will play; thats my leadership style)

example:

Turtle squad: Wolfman(capt), Warcow(Sq. Ldr), Bottle, Monkus, Swift

Freestyle squad: Wolfman(capt), Realist, Allstar, Twelve, Frylock(Sq. Ldr)

Grey squad: Wolfman(capt), Warcow, Bottle(Sq. Ldr), Realist, Twelve

something like that.... copy??

wolfy

side-note -
1. squad leaders r chosen, not elected..... i oversee this team, trust me, i know what i am doing.
2. We do not need to play in that sequence yet (squad list)..... just do step one first, get your squad together n train.... then we decide the squad hit sequence list later.

[Twelve]

First of all, Bottle, I don't appreciate you saying that I suck at turtle.

But, I'll be blunt with you all. I've already made up my mind that I will be using Monkus and Swift as my subs.

I don't see any reason for me to turtle when Monkus can do it better than I.

I don't see any reason to grey when Swift can do it better than I.

So basically, if I HAVE to turtle or grey, I will call upon our worthy subs to take my place in those regards. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

Now when it comes to freestyle...hehe...I can beat anyone.

12

[Wolfman]

so guys... now we hv this:

Turtle squad: Wolfman(capt), Warcow(Sq. Ldr), Bottle, Monkus, ???

Freestyle squad: Wolfman(capt), Realist, Allstar, Twelve, Frylock(Sq. Ldr)

Grey squad: Wolfman(capt), Warcow, Bottle(Sq. Ldr), Realist, Swift

choose your last wingmen, cow.
