<div class="IPBDescription">regardless of game.. every single time..</div>Something I've noticed is that when it comes to team-based multiplayer games, my team will always lose.
NS? My team loses.
NS:Combat? My team loses.
CS:S? My team loses.
BF:V? My team loses.
You get the picture.
It doesn't matter, the game, it doesn't matter what team I'm on, and it doesn't matter what server I'm on.
Even if I wish teams every other round the team that I will have joined will lose. And if one team has been constantly winning for the entire game, just utterly beating the crap out of the other, I can join that team and they'll lose.
I don't get it. Even if I was the worst player on earth I shouldn't be so bad as to lose the game for my entire team on a constant basis.
Does anyone else have a similar phenomenon to share?

I win about 99% of my NS games <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The reason behind this is quite simple: I have build an "Victometer"; this device allows me to transfer victories from one person to another. Just take a guess, why Schumacher has been winning the Formula 1 that often <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And in case this didnt spring to your mind: Yes, i stole your victories......all of them buahahahahaha
No one wants to play with me <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
Especially the last few times I played HL2: CTF on that jail level. Massacre.
Now I only lose the game...oh Yesterday....

I bet DOOManiac could defeat your Victometer if he was on your team. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Oh great, this is gonna be worse than those people that believe in chain mail.
*EDIT*
Oh my god I can't believe I got punned. I am so going to get revenge for this.
Chain mail sucks.
Plate mail ftw <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Nope, same here DOOMeh. Can't explain it but I just use it as an excuse to fly the airplanes in BF:V. (Which I didn't think anyone other than me played.)
We'll have to join a server together on the same team. And then we can combine our amazing sucking to make amazing awesomeness.
Or something.
I dunno though; I've often had whole teams that really aren't good in CS and still won the round pretty much on my own (depends on the map though) sooooo... yeah. Maybe you just have a knack for using the space that the one good player who was winning it for the team left? :3
Or actually i just suck as marine which is why i either comm or go alien i can do very well in these 2 but running round attacking or defending as marine you will see the lower than newbies score i get 10 kills - 55 deaths <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And note that my performance seems to have no affect on the win/lose relationship. I can be completely owning people, and be at the top of the scoreboard for my team, or I can be at the very bottom, and its the same result.
But if the game is DM then usually I am in the top 5. Quake, UT, Action. I own at all of those.
We need a true DM version of NS. :D
Though think back to when it started, and find the event that caused this change. Then play therapist with yourself.
!
I'll take s-words for $500
However, I seem to have the exact same problem as you with NS. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> As you very well know, while I'm not the worst NS player ever, I'm pretty close and never ever ever under any circumstances ever have a positive kill ratio. The problem springs from the fact that no matter how good they say they are, no matter how well they were doing before, my team will <i>always</i> suck even more than I do, while the other team stays the same; maybe it's because I've had too much exposure to you. <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
