[quote name='jakehoss']Can i please play with you guys.... I want to play grifball more than anything and no one will play with me. and it makes me very sad face. Gamertag Kevin Hossner please invite me ill play/practice whenever.[/quote]
You two should send a friend request to CAG Grifball.
[quote name='John Ketch']Good luck in the tournament, Team Cheap Ass Gamer. I'll be off the grid for the next several days and therefore will not be able to benefit from the solid play of others while I accidentally kill my own teammates. All I gotta say is Thank Buddha FullMetal is on our side.[/quote]
Meh, he seems like he has host advantage or something 'cause everyone is reporting having trouble hitting him no matter when they swing. Forces me to deploy special tactics to take him out, which I use on everyone else too now. So it's not really so special any more.

No, I just have perfect timing (and I have some tactics.)

[quote name='SynGamer']Since so many people have expressed interest, perhaps someone should make a second team. Better to have the teams practice together rather than everyone as a whole if you ask me.[/QUOTE]
thats probably a good idea, because any game bigger than like 5 on 5 wouldnt be much practice as far as the "real" game is concerned. just a bunch of people exploding with hammers. wich is fun, but not really productive.

We could, but given our time frame before the next league (expected to start soon, but no listed date), I'm mostly focused on determining 7 CAGs to play on the current Cheap Ass Gamer team.
That being said, if someone is willing to field a second team, by all means. I'm just saying that I personally won't be able to oversee it, and prefer not to split my current team, as we're going to need as much talent as possible to take on any team we come across in this league.

5. HotShotX (Avg. 2.1)
6. The Anayalator (Avg. 2.11)
7. Draekon (Avg. 2.8)
8. John Ketch (Avg. 3.8)
I plan on creating the final team based on these three charts, essentially taking each person's position as a value, and thus taking the 7 players with the lowest values for the main team, the reasons I chose these three statistics are as follows:
K/D Ratio: Self-Explanatory, A high K/D Ratio shows that you are taking the hurt to the opposition, plowing them out of the way in a consistent and dependable manner, we can count on you to clear a path for the ball carrier to the goal.
Scoring: The heart of the team, no matter how many of the opposition you can mow down in front of you, no matter how hard you can hold back the enemy from scoring, all is for naught if we cannot breach their line and score 5 out of 9 times in each game.
Betrayals: Despite their rarity, they are often the decider between a well fortified defense and a point for the opposing team. The chaos and randomness they bring to the field in the middle of a play leads me to rank them just as highly as Scoring and K/D Ratios, but in a negative light.
That being said, the current roster (but not final) is as follows:
1. Fullmetal (2,8,1 = 11)
1. The Anayalator (3,2,6 = 11)
1. Halfbent (4,4,3 = 11)
1. HotShotX (5,1,5 = 11)
5. Draekon (1,5,7 = 13)
6. Warked (6,7,1 = 14)
6. SynGamer (7,3,4 = 14)
8. John Ketch (8,6,8 = 22)
This weekend, Bungie is holding a Grifball playlist on the social hoppers. The CAG team will split up into 2 teams of 4, and play against other teams on the hopper, switching up teammates after each game.
The last 10 games you play this weekend will be used to determine your final rank for this team, using the same system you see above. Only games played with 3 other CAGs as teammates will be counted.
This will give enough time for another CAG Grifball team to form and practice once the first 7 are selected.
Good luck to all.

It's not even close. Ugh...I knew I was bad, but jeesh. It's like trying out for the volleyball team my sophomore year of high school all over again. I would've made it if it weren't for the severe lack of skill!

No offense kids, but I'm not selecting CAGs for the team based on your drama skills. Save that for the OTT. I'm taking the 7 best based on the plan above to act as a COMPETITIVE team in the Grifball League.
If you feel you can't get along with someone who won't even be leading the team, then I can skip over you and select the next best player if you so choose. I'll handle issues as they come up personally, but the bottom line is this:
Get your shit together, I'm not here to babysit anyone. I can also assure you that I will not be catering to the classic "He's an asshole, throw him off the team or I quit" rhetoric.
This team was made for competition, and though we will also have fun, I make no promises when it comes to getting the drama of XBox Live under control.
When in doubt, remember: Ejaculate is a good source of protein.

Anyways, figured I'd say that tonights gathering was obviously cancelled. HotShot had shit to do, Syn was busy (but may of been available later [EDIT: Spoke to soon. 
]). So it was just three of us being fullmetal, Anayalator, and I. Thus I called it off. Hopefully we'll have at least a 3 on 3 going tomorrow as 2 on 2 isn't very appealing.
Since we'll be back to custom games now that the Grifball hopper is gone, I have a new launch I'd like to try and see if it's more effective. However it requires precision on the ball carriers part.

Red vs Blue has requested highlight reels from a few of the Grifball games this weekend. I've uploaded 3 different plays to my fireshare that show off our teamwork at scoring, and include SynGamer, Fullmetal, and myself.
However, I'd also like to get a few clips of you guys reigning hell down on the opposing side. If any of you have any clips of that sort, shoot a few of them to [email protected]. Let them know your from Team Cheap Ass Gamer.

So, in reading over the rules for the Spring '08 season, it seems they have increased the roster size from seven to eight.
It seems you're all on the team. Well done I'll be updating the OP with the new rules, info, etc., and will need some info tonight as to what league you'll all like to be in.
10pm EST tonight, and yes, I'll be there.

WORD. Hotshot, would you mind posting updated stats that include last night's game? If it's a lot of work and would rather wait until we've got a few more games under the belt, that's cool.

We've got a couple of days to tabulate stats before the league starts. So, while I won't be doing it tonight, we'll certainly be getting in a few more games soon enough.
Also, due to an exam tomorrow, I won't be on tonight.

So that means anybody who wants to up their stats provided they're able to should get their ass on tonight and we'll have a 3 on 3 or 3 on 4 if possible. If members are lacking below 3 on 3 we may opt for Beach Grifball with outsiders (Had wubb, javeryh, GuilewasNK, and AdmiralAlodar last time) and will split up the team to make it a bit more even. If that fails, we can always go own some bitches in ranked or unranked play for a few games if so desired too.
