Hi,

Greenies have a new habbit. They stack together on the same team. It's no surprise where the game will go. I never seen it before but it happens.

Is it possible to add a rule that makes greenies distributed on both team evenly ?

It would make games more even than what it is today.

    You might want to fix the title. It says "grennies" rather than "greenies"

    This is not anything new. I've been seeing this since beta times.]

    I understand it is a problem, but restricting rookie choice only is not a good option. Use a force even vote.

    This isn't something you can just fix. Force even teams helps typically. I also generally try to encourage rookies to balance themselves by telling them that it will make for a more balance / fun game for everyone. Often times they're willing. Other times they just ignore everyone :D

    Well; we had a big laugh (we actually did) last week end when "Force Even Team" just stacked all rookie on the same side. We told em that it won't work... They insisted (or did not understand), they played. We felt a breeze on the cheek as we pass through their bodies.

    To be honest I'm afraid the Force Even Team should take care of these things. Like evaluating the number of hours played and give it a weight.

    Under 20hrs the rookie has clearly an ELO above his real level. One guy with 1000Hrs has more chance to have an ELO that reflects his level accurately.

    My experience with rookies. Gives them maybe 20 hours to realise. "Hey, maybe i should listen to that guy with a yellow name"

    Greenies will stack on a steam sale / humble bundle because usually it's a group of 2 or more friends trying out the game for the first time and of course they want to go on the same team. Or it's simply because they all want to go marines as that's the most familiar side to play when learning this game.

    Again it's just a matter of Greenie Education :)
