Elite Squad

[fathobo]

Hey guys, it's fathobo here. Um, i'm not going to name anyone who was going for this idea. But, i believe within INS we should make an elite squad. I mean, anyone can be in it. But we rank the groups or squads as how well they communicate, give cover fire, and how they use their weapons each and every person. If we do make this "Elite Squad" and whoever would be put in a high to low group should not consider themselves a bad player. That's not what I, or the person that was speaking of this matter want you to feel. From my stand point, i would like to make this "Elite Squad" because I want to clan members that really don't communicate or don't help each other out to get together and talk and help each other. The ranking system you are put in doesn't mean you suck. If your in a low group and you start communicating and doing everything that makes a team better you may be moved up as an individual or the Squad itself. Now this is just an idea, you can add any ideas your like or dislikes. Also, one way we can succeed at this if everyone has a microphone. I personally believe it would be really beneficial to the clan and to this "Elite Squad." If we (ego) players have microphones and are playing in our INS servers and all talking and everything people become more attracted to the clan and say " Hey these guys know what their doing and i feel like it's a more competitive game on both sides because of this." And, if we do make this some what Elite Squad within our INS ego clan i don't believe we should rank people on their clan rank. We should rank them on the things i listed above. If we do follow this i believe captain wes or someone of high ranking in the INS division will pick the people to rank each member.

Thanks for reading.

Sounds like a good idea!
I have no clue how this is going to be done with our super busy schedule, though.

Very nice. It can also get the division more organized for the next stage this division will move through. Dunno what the next stage will be but maybe the creation of a competitive team (some time Next year 2009) might be great since by the time a competitive program is up and running, there will already be potential candidates for it.

I gladly offer my services with the RPG on the team!

Excellent idea Fathobo. Although I think everyone should have a chance to play in skirmishes... this sounds like a hell of a motivational tool to do things right and play as a team. Hell, we could
even "elect" those players to fill those positions or the commander may choose.

"Gimme kingback on the Durkazoo and First Timer tottin' the pig!"

What do you mean everyone should have a chance to play in skirmishes? Can you quote me on what i wrote that is confusing you? Cause i would like to explain that everyone can be in skirmishes. But just put them in squads the leaders feel they should go in.

i like the idea just dont know how it will work with me though being married and kids, but at least im on workman's comp that gives me a little more time when the wife is at work

Guys, anything like this would be handled through the Scrim and Events team. There is a sticky for discussions on that. However, I'm not too crazy about the idea of elevating certain members in the community based solely on their skill.

 

[The Big Herm]

EGO will NEVER elevate anyone in stature based on their skill level. We will have a competitive team, and we may split you all up in squads for scrims and such in the future, but it will never be solely for the reason of one person being better, or communicating more, than another. Everyone has the same shake around here, no matter their level of play.

If Captain Wes can find a fair way to split people up in an unbiased approach, we can have scrims squad vs. squad....but I see no future of seperating members by skill level.

Consider all of eGO elite.

It seems to me that the way to build an elite team is to play like an elite team. Even if someone is not the greatest player of all time, they will be exposed to the playstyle and move up in skill.

Some one take command of the squad and get three people to follow/point into the hot zone. People will follow and learn as your squad calls out Point men, seconds, 6 shooter, etc.

Just remember, there should be no arguing about strategy or tactics. Determine the squad leader, and the follow him. If he is doing a bad job, he may need help on his leadership. So what better time to practice those command skills than right now.

Not really,support gunner is better than a Grenadier!

Maybe we could get a practice squad going if someone has a server we can play on and we could start working on strategies, team orientation, etc. After all, practice makes perfect. Can't wait til there is competitive insurgency gaming.

I'm closing this thread. Leadership discussed this idea and decided we will not be forming an official "Elite Team" on eGO Insurgency Servers. I am not elevating community members based mainly on skill.

We already have an Elite Team here... the eGs and eGOs that contribute an infinite amount of time and effort to making these the best servers out there!
