    I tried with literally 5 mosquitos flying around me, it didn't work well.
    Without lamp it's literally impossible to kill mosquitos.

    Well I'm glad I got to play king, it plays really well I think. Shame about the spawns though.

    Oh, I do apologize for the bad commanding on insurrection. I had the worst time placing buildings, little hills everywhere makes it look like you can put a rax but lol no.

    So what maps do you guys think worked out great?

    Yeah, this was well put together and I would nominate you to be the person to host these kind of things.
    Certainly better compared to like the last 3.

    I would recommend themes to pugs, like big maps only, small maps, custom maps, snow, choke point maps, ect.
    To keep things fresh and different so we don't develop a routine.

    Just no fucking escort or district please.

    git gud

    Vicki did a lot of work honestly, setting up the server and managing maps. She had to deal with a couple of things not quite working right, like glycenpass at the last moment.

    Cyberkiller deserves a lot of props too, he fixed a lot of the custom maps so they could be played.

    I did fumble the ball a bit with commanders. After insurrection freak wanted to command king and I had to go afk during snowstorm and tropicvendetta's comm vote time. I really shouldn't be cooking something in the oven during a pug. Still it was nice to see people step up to command, I think we had a couple of new comms in the seat too and I don't think they did terribly either.

    I kinda like the theme idea teef, we can fill up a server on canyon any weekend, but it is harder with other maps. Though I think a decent mix of maps is crucial for a decent pug, no one wants to play something like slaughtered back to back.

    Fine, be a lazy shit then.
    Try to give credit and you just cast it other people.

    Disgraceful.

    Thanks for organizing the PUG!!! Unfortunately, I had no time to play... Hopefully the next PUG :-)

    I like BigTeefs idea of theme PUGs:

    - big maps only
    - small maps,
    - custom maps,
    - snow,
    - choke point maps, etc.

    You know: "After the game is before the game"... maybe in November we can play snow maps and in December "down under" summer maps... what do you think? ;-)

    How many players were online yesterday?

    Loved this pug it wasnt shit for a change, and these old school custom maps were amazing fucking LOVED insurrection that map is so amazing to play like seriously, loving the shit out of that map.

    I want more big map pugs, like insurrection or king, but king with like 40v40, could we get like 64 player server again next time and play the pug on that with huge maps none of that small map shit, think big, think insurrection and king.

    Destroyer's POV shows the reason why king is really good.

    In the last 5 minutes I was handling 2 enemy squads in NF main, yet this map can still afford another group of people doing completely unrelevant things on the other side of the map.

    You really don't get to experience this on any other map.

    It actually shows that a map can be too detailed and this distracts from the core gameplay. Usually the team that got too involved into fucking around in the south-east corner lost the rest of the map and the game. The same goes for fuel's central refinery part.


    Also @Sparty

    FIX THE FISSION ENGINE!
    Once I overheated I had to sit there stalled for a minute until they finally killed my heavy off. Generally I would wish for engines to have less gimmicky behaviour and more some easy to grasp trade-offs.
