Why don't you think D pyro is acceptable?

Thanks Siscos for showing me this

.

Ok now to the topic.

The training thing has always gone up and down. Never really pulled through. Fortress Training School was I believe the first group to successfully get some players fully familiarized with the advanced skills you have can perform in FF. The idea is always cool with me and I always teach people in pubs anyway (if they have a question or are willing to learn something).

But the idea of the name is a little off putting because it practically sets a negavite image unless explained. Rage Quiter's can be verbally hosite, concent to a whining behavior, or make claims that this person involved with RQing, would rather be playing TF2 Competitively, and then quit. Side effects may include listening to Taylor Swift to ease the stress, Filling out a butthurt application (internet edition) or lashing out to parents or friends to aggressively vent off the horrible time this person had, playing the game this person was playing.

The 2nd thing I have against the name is that it will attract the wrong kind of attention. How/why? Well to me it's kind of evident that the llama's who play this game for the kicks will see the name "Rage Quit" and attend that service for the kicks. When you have players like that who aren't committed to what you're innitial plans for that group is, it kind of destroyes the reputation and the focus of what you're trying to accomplish.

But I'm talking on a level of extremety. The possibilities of that happening are a less likely but plausible to say in the least.

My advice is to know your roster, and to pick players who are old enough and responsible enough to maintain the purpose of the guild through the means that you're providing.

Off subject, Do NOT answer Sisco's question. You're only asking for more trouble. Just focus on what you are going to do, and ignore being side tracked. IF you need some additional help, I wouldn't mind lending it.

Yo Trailer. Good idea man. This mod needs more people moving forward for FF and less talking shit on the forums. You need any help hit me up.

Who cares if it's been done before. This game still gets new people and a lot of their welcome is unfriendly at times. It may not be the numbers we want but every one is valuable to boosting the communities numbers. Kudos to you bro.

I say good luck with it, hope it all works out. You say you are dedicated, but those in the past said that as well and they all bellied up and lost interest. If only the player base wasn't so small!
