Uhh, RNG people's stacking isn't a problem since the way they (I mean you guys) try to have fun doesn't affect others i.e. Couch jumping with base jumper and sticky sniping from the air x)

As an example I'm using some people's stats here.
http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/57713 Sofaking - win ratio 63%
http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/72300 Ataris - win ratio 55%
http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/42639 Me - 49%
http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/165350 Wollfpup - 52%
http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/2615 Cowking - 56%
http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/113320 june. - 68% wow (I know he's pro)

http://stats.hyperiongaming.org/playerinfo/108971 women-tiger 61%
women-tiger is not a stacker at all, however, his win ratio is kinda high.
I see him autojoin (≒ blue team) first.
I really like him on this point (as well as how nice a person he is).
And then other players including hyperion regulars start to join blue.
There should be more *good* people like him so nobody has to think of a stupid thing like which team's gonna win and just use autojoin.

A friend of my told me he join a team on which his friends are playing on so he can have fun playing with them.
It's understandable, I like playing with friends as well.
But, IMO that's not the only way to have fun with friends.
Even if you are on the other team, you can still have fun (i.e. dueling).

edit: to show what is actually happening
screenshot right after the round end
If Wolfpup is right, the blue team is not trying and should have many deaths.
But they have MORE deaths than red has (x2).
I mean blue teams was trying.

Blue team couldn't even cap the 3rd point and teams were scrambled.

Please try to look at the problem.

First off, please take a look at the pic I've added.
(No intention of accusing someone specifically, sorry if your name is shown in it)

As you can see, all of my hyperion friends are on the same team.
This CAN NOT happen if you don't pick the team on purpose.
Playing with friends on the same team is fun.
But, this is causing a problem.

I'd call it a "Teamstacking problem" here.
This is not new or unusual at all.
Those wearing the RNG tag tend to join the same team. (Just an expample, sorry :c)
Like they do, other hyperion regulars (of course, not everyone) do that.
When this happens, something start to change.
It is that one team keeps winning. (Yup, teamstack)
Nobody wants to keep losing.
And I don't want to play if either team is TOO GOOD since it's not even fun.
I feel it's fun when both teams are equal in "skill" and I don't mind if I lose.
How do you feel when you can clearly tell that your team is gonna lose?

What I see after the round end is ragequits.
Not just one or two players, like four or even more.
In the screenshot, there are 5 people in spec including me.
It's clear that they are unwilling to join blue "for some reason".
inb4 you call me a teamstacker: You won't see me playing with sofaking, mmm_cookies, ken, Rina etc x)

You might think forcing autojoin will lose player traffic.
But, as far as I know, if you keep letting people teamstack will also lose player trafic.
Note: (-TN-) server is forcing autojoin IIRC

However, as part of Donor memberships, those who donated should be able to pick a team to keep this awesome server running.
Also, "!Addbuddy" looks ok cause it only allows to players to play on the same team.
That won't be a problem.

Hoping nobody would say "Go play on other servers" or something like that.
This is a suggestion.
I like this server and would love to keep playing here.

Thanks.
