Firstly, HM definitely gets a recommendation from me! His medic brought Red to victory several times, though his demoman (in my opinion) isn't actually that strong, or at least as strong as the demomen we have in PHS. He didn't seem to take advantage of grenade jumping that often, and missed good opportunities to get my team's charge from behind by flying in behind us. I recall another moment where my scout completely obliterated you, your medic, and your heavy (I think it was a heavy) in a hallway when you could have pushed me back with well placed grenades, or even grenade jump away from me. However, your well placed sentries were the bane of me and the rest of my team, and without them me and the rest of Blue would have just kept pushing your team back again and again.

Sorry Dropbear, while you're good, from what I saw.. you're only good.. That's not BAD, you're definitely a cut above the pubbies for sure! But we PHS need above average.. Not the greatest, but at least above average. There were many moments where you could have decimated my spy and you wouldn't take advantage of it, and a few moments where you wouldn't shoot back against my revolversniping (or at least take a different route around it). I really hate to judge like that, but at least I'm giving constructive criticism!

dropbear did pretty good when i was playing with him this afternoon...

Again, I said he did good, but there was nothing spectacular about his performance..! Again, he's definitely a cut above pubbies, but I don't believe he's at least on par with the rest of PHS. This is my opinion however, and maybe 3 other PHS disagree with me and will take him in. It's not impossible! Again, as I said in the previous page, he doesn't need MY vouch to have a chance at getting in.

I just noticed that you said you're a PHS in your sig... who are you?

I'll just say it as it is, even as pubbie as it sounds. I have to blame my stuttering lag during those matches, mainly on the dirtbowl stages were it got horrible and I had a good 2 second delay.  

I know I have a problem jumping/rocket jumping around too much which often gets me killed, and the fact I have a complete disregard for my hp along with the tendency to jump into large groups of enemies with no backup.

Anyway, I guess i'll do another tryout later to see how it pans out and I can just hope that the stuttering won't be too bad.

Yep, I noticed this part too, but thought it would have been hypocritical of me to comment on it at the time. Still, keep at it and you'll get better! I had/still have a problem with bumrushing bravado from time to time. You may have noticed me actively trying to remember to retreat when need arose, but I still suicided a couple times with my scout. You can beat it if you remind yourself that retreat can HELP you push them back in the long run, and that a Dead You isn't as effective as an Alive You, so retreat before you die!

As for the lag, I experienced a good bit of it too occasionally, as you saw. I'm not shooting down your reason by going, "YEAH?! Well I was lagging too and I ROCKED!", I'm actually validating your reason because I wasn't doing that hot either!

Anyway, I guess i'll do another tryout later to see how it pans out and I can just hope that the stuttering won't be too bad.

I had a feeling that was who it was.. I wish people would stick to one name, it makes things comfusing!

[Unsung Hero]

lol now I want to change my name again.

And now that I recall, I don't think I even had a tryout. I just applied and was accepted by Vein. 

[Humble Master]

Yah. I was fealing realy nervouse about the tryout so I'm glad that I got KZ's vouch. Also thank you for the input on my Deto skills. I know I need to work on them so it is nice to have confirmation from an experienced player.

While an efficient way of accepting members, it's very one sided and not very fair to the clan! Vein was probably rushing in active members to help get us back on our feet, which worked until he left.. then we were leaderless again until you (I think) started scheduling. Then I offered to start scheduling, then I became defacto leader, and now I'm the official leader. Funny how that works out, eh?

And if you're gonna change your name, PLEASE change it back to Unsung Hero! I liked that name, and it's the name we all know you by (it's also the name on the front page that we know you by).

No problem at all! I'm more than happy to help, and I could tell you were a little nervous (woman's intuition? I dunno!), so I started a little namechatting fun like, "DARN YOUR SENTRIES!", to help ease your mood. Did it help any?
