ok at it. I have pride in my team. I stand up for um and I hang out in "my' Team's thread. I've become friends with a number of people on my team.
That's a bit unfair. A lot of hard-core players for one team or another have changed sides for various reasons:
Viper48 played 22 games with Cobra and led the very first cobra team ever. But he played 1 game with the Joes before returning for another 6 or so to Cobra.
VadersQuest Co-led the original IG team for 6 games (4 wins) back in the day, but when the Joes needed a new leader, he stepped up for another 6 games.
Lody played around 15 games for Cobra before turning Joe for 2 or 3. Look where he's back to now.
Gungho Joe played 18 games with Cobra, followed by 8 with Joe, and then 3 more with cobra before quitting for real life reasons.
Night Viper is one of the most staunch, hardcore Cobra's I've ever met. He's played around 20 games for Cobra throughout the years (i need to check), but he's agreed to play with the joes for 2 games or so to get to know some of his friends here better.
I've played 24 games with the Joes, leading for 12, winning 9.5 (co or squad leader for another 4). Heck, if you check the roster, there's still about 30-40% of it that I recruited for the game. (add in some IGs and a cobra and I'm around 40 recruited players). I played a couple rounds for the IGs for various reasons, but now i'm back to support this team.
Ren and Luigi bleed the olive drab and are just going to the mercs to help build a new team that would otherwise have little-to-no chance against an established opponent. They'll be back by next game I predict. They've put in almost 30 games on this team between them.
Each person I list switched sides for personal, or game-related reasons, or a combination of both. That doesn't change which team they truely feel loyalty to. So I would be careful about casting aspersions on loyalties of those who play on other teams for a couple games.
I know you mean no harm by it, but its not really accurate.
*NOTE: I would also point out that its not bandwagoning. Each of the first 6 people I listed changed sides from a winning team to a losing team. Ren and Luigi went to a brand new team with little hope of winning their first game.
