Is it just me or does it look like the guy on the left is having a lot more fun?

He's having more fun while improving his skill at what he's doing. The guy on the right will end up degenerated and fat :)

nice one, and its true, ... well in most cases. I don't have anything against doubles as long as the teams are equally matched, like colonels vs colonels or so. But when it comes to colonels vs noobs, well ... thats not a fair game

What does that mean? Are you announcing that you plan on changing/tweaking the scoring system, or is that sarcasm? I have trouble distinguishing the two!

Perhaps you've been living in the wild for years, and find yourself great at climbing but not so great at escalator usage. Those things scared the hell out of me as a child...

Perhaps you have been trying to go UP the escalator that was going DOWN

Terrific, I must agree with it!

However, that won't stop me from taking advantage of the system.


On a second thought, just playing a doubles doesn't make it easy. You have to be good to win, regardless. What's the point on playing team games if you loose them all?

As a noob who isn't completely clueless, I was turned off of team matches almost immediately. It seems to be riddled with high ranked teams feeding off of clueless players. Is that what clans are all about?

you can't see it in the photo, but the steps on the escalator are actually paved with noobs' skulls.

We need a triples pic - perhaps a man with a jetpack?

maybe, probably about 15, I picked up another 4 lately, but most are tourney games with john123, my friend from offline, who lures me into those sort of things. Either that or personal requests from players, like #U.

I'm happy to play any game type really if someone requests me in a game.

EDIT: Woah, actually I've over 25, guess you may have a point hendy. Still amounts to less than 1/4 of my games, and I tend to lose as many doubles as I win, due to problems such as deadbeat partners and far more practiced opposition. Certainly never took the picking on noobs route.
