I'm glad it's mostly positive, but I would like to address some of the negativity slung in my and ShackTac's direction.

Then I suppose it was just the cause of some serious confusion.
I did not know that you were on Teamspeak, nor did I recognize everyone in the squad to know just how many randoms there were in it. I do understand that ST comes first, seeing as its, well, "STINF", but it looked like the best alternative for an infantry squad at the time.
I never claimed that you guys didn't follow the rules, or were "high and mighty" or something, but you do need to know that when you're playing PR with Shacktac, you're on someone else's server, and thus their gameplay etiquette may differ from what ST is used to.
I also did know that you've been on and off in PR, seeing as you had previously not really played it due to the horrid deviation system, but I did not know for how long, and in what amounts, so I apologize if I happened to insult your game knowledge or whatever. The way the squad was going, it did feel like I was playing with fairly new players, though. Perhaps due to 1.0 being so vastly different, or just some bias of mine, I don't know.
I would have appreciated it if the squad would have asked me to leave beforehand, or at least mentioned that your primary comms are via TS, so there would have been no comms misunderstandings.
No, I don't hold a grudge, but as I said, the atmosphere was not the best.
What's that about language? I think I have a fairly good understanding of the English language, and I don't recall speaking any Finnish. I did stutter constantly due to having to micro several things at once and think about what I have to say, but other than that it seems fairly insulting to mention that.
