Thats daft.  Gives a big advantage to teams using RW.
Even if you can't report on enemy positions, TP is much easier if you
can talk to each other.

WTF?  No limit?????????????????????????????????????????????????
Are they NUTS?
Guess a team of LPB's will win the league then.  :(
Fuck me, the lag will be like shite an all.

Another balls up.  As you say, many teams are serial campers.  We should
be allowed to choose *not* to camp.  We need grenades for that.
Duh...

>4. FSB aren't allowed to field two teams

You shoulda split the dregs off into a 'pretend' second clan.
Called 'em FSB2.  :)

>Oh well, I'm ranting ain't I? :-)

Don't let me stop you.  Valid points, all.

>I think you can just take it that I'm not happy about this league :-(

Neither am I, now.
