Hmm... yeah i think that is a good idea too. First of all a tribe team must be like a football team, u need plenty of replacements. So far having just enough members hasn't worked out... as if it hasn't been obvious ppl quit, get kicked, are unable to make prac... etc. Having more than enough ppl like we did at one time was no good either, who wants to be on a tribe they can't play on... at least thats what i was told (of course by ppl who are no longer w/ us). A possible solution to our delima is to create two teams consisting of 10 mem each, for those of u who are mathematically challenged thats 20 ppl in the tribe(more than enough).

PROs
1) We have a source of "second string" players for matches etc. where we can easily find replacements.
2) Only one team will be active in the ladder but the other in it's own way will function like a seperate tribe(non-ladder though), they can scrim all they want. This should give ppl there chance to "play".
3) On top of this we will have enough ppl to make up two seperate teams at prac.

Some pretty big PROs

CONs
1) The team as i mentioned is non-ladder this could be a turn off to ppl who don't make the real team by a sliver.
2) PPL may be discouraged when they find it is difficult to climb into the competetive team.

There are prolly more PROs and CONs but i am trying to make this as short as possible. My proposal is to have one team w/ the tag ^IoN^ (ladder) and another w/ ^IoNr^* (reserve)

PS: Raid if u'd like to improve your skill i can send u some demos of tribes matches for u to see what they are like.

*^IoNr^ <=== was not my idea for the tag basically it can be anything we want.

tonight i was reading what u said n thought to myself....first of all the recruit thing makes the members with the IoNr tag look bad... id never wear one of those if it was up to me =) we could do two teams of competitive members.....for small easier matches we could use either team with one of the replacements from the otehr team if a replacememnt is needed...although the problem comes to big matches when u want the best members from both teams. .... members will not have chemistry with people not on there competitive team. on a another note= today i head that ^IoN^ is kicking pretty much everyone n started over with only about 3 members... i heard it through sckyline who heard it from MAG. i started cracking up i figured there could be a thread of truth in it..... if theres its its some fucked up bullshit n ull hear words froem me (u always do) now as for the demos sun please send them or put them on the dl section of the site. ive dedicated sunday to jus learnin routes.... i didnt wanna say this but ive never been n a real match for ctf anyway... scrimms.. and others like arena n all but never ctf matches..i will learn though i promise give me time ill be productive to this team....
