But why IG???!!! I mean come on... the Joes can offer the Dreadnoks more money and then blam!!! Trust me VQ.. if you do this... someone is gonna have to monitor this full time. You can't just piddle around and not pay attention because then something will happen and you got a flame war from hell. Can we just have a 3rd team and call it MAELSTROM!!

Cobralala and I will work out the logistics...
Nothing is official until he says so It could work and here is an example.. The IG and cobra teams attack Joe HQ Their combined strength is almost double the hit power of Joe. The solution? Auto weapon systems and special counter commands. Could even out the playing field but Like I said......Cobralalal is the one to say yes or no to this, yeah I want that 3rd team but he is the GMD. More info to come when it comes so for now.....just know that its a possibility. Latter guys, I do have to run. The other problem is attempting to determine exactly how much of a coordinated attack earns retribution damage. For sake of argument lets say Joe and Cobra team up against the IGs. If they direct 40% of their hits at one another but 60% at the IG's does that earn retribution? What about 30-70? 20-80? 10-90? Clearly 50-50 is evenly fair, and 100% of both teams is biased, but where is the line between what is a 'fair' split and what is not? Similarly, lets say that Cobra turns half their fire on the joes, and half on the IGs, but the IG's are banking on cobra assaulting only them and direct all their fire against cobra. It so happens that the joes see cobra is ahead in Health points and decides that day to direct all their fire against cobra. Completely by accident, the two teams wind up "ganging up" on cobra. Should they be penalized for a chance mistake? In theory, retribution damage would be a good way to even out possible scenarios, but at what point is a scenario termed "unfair"? I don't think there's a single definition that would be acceptable to all. |

I think if something like this is gonna happen.. we all take off right now until next year. It will take a good month to figure out special spots like machine gunners, medics, and so forth.
And excuse the hell outta me KNEROH. I didnt know the Iron Grenadiers was YOUR BABY!!! (Note to self... stay on Cobra team) |

I really hate the way this is going to sound, I don't mean to criticize, so please forgive me if it sounds that way. Cobra is in a bad way now. They're about 8 players behind based on the 5 back they were last game and our 3 new recruits. On top of that, many of their players had low posting percentages. Their leadership had to recover from a devastating first day changeover that left everything at the top shaken up. They really need time to get back together, in terms of leadership, players and strategy. Probably 2 games. If the IGs are introduced now, they stand to lose a sizable fraction of their core players, which will weaken the team even further. While G.I. Joe could stand to lose up to a third of the team and remain relatively competitive, that is not a loss that cobra can take at this time. It might be an idea that can be introduced later when the teams are even, but now is a really bad time. |

Oh DH.. I know what your deal is. Since you keep patting yourself on the back for recruiting 35% of your team.. your afraid to lose them to a third party and then have to deal with fighting 2 teams and now you got the option of actually losing to one of them. If I am correct in saying.. it's your team right now sporting the IG banner sigs... not anyone from Cobra. So my guess at this point would be.. your going to be losing more than Cobra and that is the reason you are dis-agreeing with a 3rd team.

this could even be something like the maelstrom round from rob and pyro's game, but I agree with DH to wait until both teams are at least on an equal standing as this was a bit of a shaky round for us
