We’ll surely benefit from it, even though sometimes the “fun” just isn’t quite there when we’re getting our arses handed to us :)
Maybe try and set up a Thursday weekly with ADA or DI or tW as well. We’ve got enough players now to make a commitment two nights a week, and given so many players are missing out on the GA matches due to overcrowding it’s a good idea to get us playing as a team slightly more frequently.
Could I make one suggestion, I think we would more playing mixed teams with them. If we are going to donate ourselves as cannon fodder then I would like to get something out of the experience and if they could share some of that it would be worthwhile.

Scrimming should be about mutual benefit. I dont think we can expect to play mixed teams all the time, but where is the benefit to us if we are just cannon fodder all the time too?
On the GameArena forums Neg has stated that in the past they have offered to help train other teams, but no-one has taken them up on the offer. Whether its true or not i do not know, since i don’t always keep an eye on the forums, but if its being offered now then maybe we should take them up on the offer. And perhaps a good dose of humility and good manners should be employed in asking!
If Neg is offering now, can some one do the honours and take them up? I’m @ work ATM but will follow this up on GA forums latter, if no one else does before hand – nudge nudge
if we choose to “prac” with Skullz, I dont wish to take part if Neg is playing. As i have stated, he is racist and no matter how gooder player he is racisim is not justified. Now he has “toned down” of late, but i believe its due to the fact he has already been banned and serverly punished.
still, if those who can remember back that far, Neg was part of Nesreca. He/they cast the 1st stone upon us.
Feel free to play him, but forgive me if dont want to learn from Neg.
Similar sentiment, but different specifics from me. I’d prefer not to take have neg be the guy who offers teaches us strats etc. He was definitely inappropriately racist in scrims against us (how some of us replied was ridiculously unacceptable, but that’s another issue) and I haven’t seen any reason to think that’s changed.
However, I’d have no issue playing against Skullz with him in the team.
OK so as per usual, a team divided on the two issues of Skullz fortnightly prac, and Neg teaching us.
Even though it’s a vast majority for the scheduled prac, perhaps another team would be the way to go. Advantages would obviously be we might have a chance. tW would be idea but last I checked they weren’t able to set aside a time every week. How about we keep talk to some of our other regular opponents and report back here if anyone manages to convince any of them to play fornightly on Tuesdays 8pm.

I was unaware of Neg’s past when i brought it up (i said i haven’t always kept an eye on the forums, although i was aware he is kinda unpopular). The reasons you have stated for not wanting his coaching are entirely valid.
I still think it would be nice to get some form of coaching input from somewhere… I’d love to hear how Skullz co-ordinate their team. Last time we scrimmed them i strongly remember often being shot at from at least 3 entirely different directions simultaneously. Perhaps we should talk about complimentary fields of fire at our next Prac.
I stand by my initial comment. Scrimming should be about mutual benefit.
So your about to be told the meaning of life… right after you put this KKK hood on… don’t worry you don’t have to Join. just been seen listening intently to member of the group.

Errr...
Yes I guess.

Thats a good idea.
Perhaps we could go to two days a week and use one of those days as a regular scrim prac.
Are ADA even in the ladder?

Yes, but they don’t seem particularly active.

No teams would like to challenge them because its pure suicide, but we should play them and learn from them. :)
Great Idea

dont throw rocks at people with a cataplut
If skullz wish to support neg, they support what he stands for.
Neg has been asked and has refused multiple times to denounce racism… he has refused.
But dont let me hold you back, you can make your own choices….. just dont expect me to be involved or support it.
OK so as per usual, a team

Sound like a fair compromise?
Its not a compromise
Its not a compromise, Its a better idea. the right idea.
I agree with Fuzz’s latest post
Semantics. Glad we agree on

So I missed something – it’s like 8-2?
Dupe.

Neither was I
And I don’t condone it – If you know me you know that is impossible.
I would however still be willing to hear any advise or assistance that could be offered.
agree with what your saying
Agree with what your saying chuck, it would be “good” to learn from a l33t team. Skullz are not the only l33t team out there.
So lets find them.
right...
