bah, I just typed a rather long post and lost it down the black hole that is the intarweb, when my connection to lm.org got severed
so I'll sum it up instead. Saltz is my favorite com, not just cuzza his impressive win/loss ratio, but because he makes the games more interesting than most comms' straightforward brute force strategies of capping res nodes, saving for a heavy train, rushing/sieging hives...
but Saltz, you're so hard on your teams, even the intelligent members =P of course there's the lamers who never follow orders and always think they know better than the com -- but then there's those of us like myself who have faith in the com and follow orders 90% of the time, but have doubts once in a while, about things like passing up empty res nodes when we're down to our last one... effectively meaning that if whatever offensive we're on fails, we can't afford another... thereby trashing a half hour's worth of effort holding the enemy back...
I'll freely admit you probably know better than most of us... but even if you COULD see everything from that lofty chair, you still can't think of everything with only one head on your shoulders... most of lunixmonster's clientele is reasonably intelligent (compared to most pubs) -- so give us some credit too =P confidence is helpful for a comm since wishy-washy strategies usually fail, but on the other hand, don't treat your team like they're just idiots you're forced to deal with in your evil scheme of map domination :p suffice to say, most of us do our best, and if you want a team that is totally mindless but aims well and follows orders to a fault, I refer you to
