As concise and well though out as your advice is, I would suggest a more structured approach.
From what I've seen, in the few weeks that I've followed the clan, there has not been any structured practices. Quite a few people show up on a regular basis(which is awesome!), but there has been no structure and no planning.
We should look at working on our strategies more, as well as communication. There is alot of unnecessary chatter over skype, when we could be using it for (I've used this world alot in here) strategic purposes. Yelling out locations of enemy, medic calls, strategies.
Looking back at a recent experience that orbital and I had with some pretty decent bots, we found that the buddy system worked pretty well. Someone would take point, while the other would watch his back. Each person would take turns running up to the next safe spot, secure the location, then then other would join them(keeping an eye on the rear). You could think of it as "inch-worming" your way across the map.
I've got some more ideas on this topic, but I feel this isn't the forum section to discuss it. I feel that it would be very beneficial for one of our upcoming practices to take the time and connect everyone to go over strategies and how to deal with situations.
Communication is not my forté, but I would be more than willing to take the reins on the strategy practice. If vortex would like to spend a little one-on-one time, I would love the opportunity.
We've got potential here, we just need to a take bit of time to cultivate it.
