Some quick things... <br /><br />#1 - Ladna should move into 2011 and not 2009 ... I rarely say anything about TT anymore. It has and always will be shit for me because my connection hates Chicago... There is no placebo effect when I see corpses running around and dont hear flag messages... ZD can be blamed all ya want, but this simply does not happen on other servers. I play a decent amount of pub on NJ and have played a lot on Montreal. I dont have those issues there. That goes all the way back to Doom2.net Chicago servers... Same issues. It takes too many hops to get there and for whatever reason, I can&#039;t frag on it. I can&#039;t help my connection goes through New York to get to Chicago and I frankly don&#039;t care anymore. It is what it is and I can&#039;t fix it.<br /><br />#2 - Montreal or any other server shouldn&#039;t be &quot;forced&quot; on the player base, but TT is forced on us. Instead of doing a coin flip or SOME KIND of way to see who gets server choice, TT is the automatic choice if another captain gets a slight advantage.<br /><br />#3 - TT could be a 24/7 stuttering mess and Hate will fondle TT&#039;s balls. If I got sub 20 ping, I would also feel the same way. We are all selfish in some aspects and want any kind of advantage we can get. I had that for a while when Jkist had the Duke servers and you don&#039;t realize just how much of an advantage it is unless you actually have it.<br /><br />Anyway... I always thought the geographical argument was a terrible one when it comes to the Internet. Proximity in physical locations doesn&#039;t equate to &quot;internet geography&quot;. If proximity was the case, I would get a far better ping on TT than I would Montreal since Chicago is much closer to me than Montreal...<br /><br />Nevertheless... As much as I&#039;ve bitched about TT in the past, I see the same bitching coming from Montreal... We got Rust and Reck after every priv game saying &quot;Fuck Montreal&quot; as if we didn&#039;t get the message the last 50 times. It is what it is.<br /><br />I have a great connection as far as stability... It just doesn&#039;t route well at all. Again, it is what it is and whatever server my team plays on, I&#039;ll do the best with what I got.
