squads
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but some of us were thinking it would be cool to have teams, or squads where no one else can get on to that certain color unless aloud by that squad, or team. Now I know that there is such a thing on the GU league, but I am talking about on every single map out there. So I am just asking to see what others think?

What would be the point of that?

Re: squads
That would turn the currently open games from inclusive to exclusive and is not a direction we want to go. Part of the fun of playing the game is playing it with others. Playing with your friends is good and all but that is the reasons leagues exist.
There are far too many cases where this idea could be abused to exclude others and it doesn't really solve any problem with the game.

Re: squads
Think of what will happen if there are many members of one "squad" on one map and noone else. There will be one team full of people, but noone for them to play against. The way it is now players can switch to different color to play in a situation like that.

You can totally do that on your own server, it would be easy to write a plug-in to do what you are talking about, but it's not something we'd want to apply to every server

Ok...one more thing that I did forget to put in with my first idea was that if people didn't like the first idea...what about a quickshot league?
