random people who make teams and play against each other o vs d and then switch sides (unless there are enough for a full match)... kinda like a clan match.. but without a clan!

What's a goodfellow? Fellas rarely play pickups anymore though (well... Gator and VTB rarely do)

And Pixel, http://www.ffpickup.com/#faq

Just think of a pickup basketball game, and then apply it to an intarlerwebunet videar game.

[QUOTE=squeek.]What's a goodfellow?

Proper spelling for the slang goodfella
Not about if they play or not, its about playing randomly on teams. Basically a scrim against that team the 10 or so times I added up.
Last I idled the chan hardly no one was playing. Me wonders why.

It's a catch 22. Without them, there is a large gap in the pickup community. They are extremely, extremely, extremely active. With them, they tend to stack the teams. If you want to play without them, then get in the channel and support it as best you can. We need people to fill the gap that the goodfellas used to fill.

With all the sarcasm aside, in all honesty, many of the goodfellas decided to stop adding to pickups for a couple reasons:
*we uneven the teams on whatever team we are placed
*we dont really need the practice, we've mastered the game
*people dont like us, we dont like them, we dont play
Regardless of all the recent bullshit that has been going on in that channel (and squeek's poor moderation of the channel), I'll still be adding whenever I have some free time from TF2

lawl...I'll just jump in and kick / ban people every so often that ought to take care of it.

WRT the fellas...fuck that. I personally like playing against the fellas...they are good and it's the best prac I can find. And playing with a fellas is great to b/c you can gather how they talk and play and gain insight that way. And on the off chance I happen to join / start a pickup I have never once regretted it. With or against the fellas, no one can deny that they are good and that's the point of a pickup...good people playing against good (better?) people to perfect their skills as opposed to trying to find a pub server worth jumping into.

If you think teams are un-fair...go with captains as opposed to pool...then at least you know the top 2 guys are going to be separated. and the 3 / 4 top guys are getting separated etc.

Completely agreed. I love(d) playing against the fellas. It forces you to get better fast. Other people don't feel the same, though.

I love listening to the fellas when I'm playing on their team. I find their banter quite amusing.

I like playing with and against them as well. Against because they rape me everytime and I hope I got just a little bit better in the process. And with because they got great strategies and can learn a lot from them.

lol but the difference is I wouldn't just ban them for no reason...and my bans would probably only be a few hrs if that.

@Hammock - seems squeek, you, and I are a dying breed these days. I mean seriously who wants to play against people that are better then them, instead lets just rape the newbzorz who come in and never learn anything!

Ya totally, I've always had this mentality though. Back when I played rugby I hated loosing games 60-0, but I also hated winning games 60-0. Talk about boring, I would rather play a game and tie 5-5 than win 60-0. Cause a tied 5-5 game means it was probably pretty intense
