Copied from viirus' complaint on the MeRk forums:
It was I who kicked you, but not after we discussed it over TS. The admins online during Vadso and Iron Eagle were abullet, K9 and TJ. On Vadso the Brit team were getting raped and the OD-S clan were on the Russian side. As the Brits were getting raped, loads of people were leaving and at which point I think you managed to get a space. You joined on the Brit side way before the round finished, around 20-30 mins but remained afk till the end of the round. Of few of us MeRk agreed on TS that we would try and balance the side by switching over. We would also try and balance the clans on each team. After Vadso ended I lost connection and said on TS to keep an eye on you, as you had remained AFK for so long and were waiting to team switch. (I did not come across ant !r for a switch for yourself during vadso). I got back in game on the Israeli side on Iron Eagle and switched over to help the MEC team, and in doing so made the teams uneven in favour of the MEC team allowing you to team switch. Now I don't know if you had requested a team switch while I was not in game, but we were trying to keep the teams balanced in order to have a fair game. I would completely understand if you were part of OD-S and therefore trying to play with clan mates, but seeing as how stacked the teams were we'd hope you would stick it out and help the MEC team.

Now I realise everyone wants to play with friends but seeing as how stacked the teams were, wouldn't it be helpful for you and the team, to stay on the loosing side?

And thanks to everyone who stayed on while we were getting hold of someone that could restart the server. Got to hate them squad bugs.

I see no other reason, cause the teams were balanced and when he joined in with another account they switched him immediately. They probably feared this would happen

Kingy wrote:I would ask that you don't switch me (or anyone) at the start of a round without asking, If your trying to even the teams so clan members can play together this shouldn't be to the detriment of other players, being in a clan shouldn't give you a privaleged position above other players.

Kingy wrote:My final point would be unbalanced teams, because MeRK seems to attract more clan players than regular pubbers it's going to be inherently difficult to balance teams anyway, but I feel there could be more done about this than there currently is. Today we won two easy rounds in a row more than 350+ tickets - 0 each time, hardly a challenging series of games.
Don't take this the wrong way I'm not trashing your server, it's great overall, admins are fair, the map rotations are generally good and it has a nice solid playerbase, but there are some rough edges that need smoothening out.
