       Comp Obsession
       By: guest562 Date: July 8, 2017, 9:06 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       It seems like that lately OFF has become obsessed with comps and
       not platooning with other OFFers.  More than once, many times
       actually, I have been platooning with other OFFers and then ten
       more jumps on and it's off to the training room and I'm left
       high and dry.  Now when OFF was doing skills training, which
       lasted for only about 3 weeks or so, it was very helpful in
       improving one's game.  But now that OFF has their comp obsession
       the only thing that gets any training is the comp team and if
       you're not on it then you're SOL.  I thought that OFF was
       supposed to be a somewhat social club that focused on improving
       their members and platooning with friends but it seems that line
       is just BS.  Really makes me wonder why the hell I'm still in
       OFF as I might as well just do some solo tanking...  whatever...

       There are normally between 9-14 members at any comp team
       session.  The sessions normally last an hour give or take.  I
       can tell you as a fact, the first thing I do after a comp
       session: is to send out a platoon invite to the party.  I can
       also tell you as fact, the second thing we do is look for who is
       online and send invites to try and fill as many platoons as
       possible.
       This week has been a little crazy as we had 3 comp matches and
       one practice session, maybe that is where your misperception
       originated.
       Either way, there are over 80 members in OFF last I checked, so
       I can't see your point of OFF being comp obsessed if only 9-14
       members are involved in a comp session at any given time.
       Please send me a friend request and I will make sure to send you
       invites after any comp sessions. :peace:

       Actually there are 108 active members (folks that have tanked in
       the last month).

       NP Beast. Looks like there is another 20 plus that just have not
       played tanks in some time. Unfortunately for Rugby is that he
       platoons with everybody on the comp team for the most part. That
       said, I can understand Rugby's perspective.

       No its not if one doesn't usually have the time to make that
       commitment.  The comp team seems to have a fairly busy schedule
       and I won't make a commitment to a team if I honestly don't know
       if I can live up to it.  Wouldn't be fair to the other people on
       the team don't you think?  So, not the simple solution you
       suggest it is...

       Rugby,
       Have you on my friends list.  We have a match at 9:30 PM EST
       tonight.  Join the party around 10:15 PM and you will be amongst
       the first to know how we did/are doing!  Right after the
       matches; we can platoon up if it fits your schedule.
       Check the shout box as most times for comp sessions are posted
       there and you can always be guaranteed some platoon time right
       after. If it fits your schedule.
       We good?
       :peace:

       Rug,
       Have you sent FR to members listed in our club page? As large as
       we are there are plenty of non-comp OFFers playing 24/7. I'm
       certain they would always enjoy another person to tank with.

       Yes, I agree with Corbantis. There are many great OFFers that do
       not compete but run quite a bit. All the OFFers I know don't
       mind if you jump into their parties and ask to run.
       You could also host an event to include non competition OFFers,
       that would be fun  :Olaf:
