3 Teams -.-

[Rhino1928]

Ah yes, the infamous three teams... Yes I agree, quite an annoying bunch of fellows this can become. But let me put a few things in perspective before we rush in on putting a ban on teaming...

First of all, is clans. Clans/Teams have been a thing since Day 1 of MCSG back in April of 2012. MCGamer/MCSG back then, was created solely to replicate The Hunger Games as close as possible and unfortunately that means large teams more commonly known as Clans. Now if this idea were to pass and be implemented, how would a Clan/Team, scrimmage? Clan Battle? et cetera. Due to this, this idea will never happen, no matter how many times it is suggested.

Secondly is to go back to what I said above about the old MCSG. MCSG was created so that people could have fun and relax back on a cool gametype. This grew and grew into what it is today, a large competitive PVP network. But people have lost sight of what MCSG/MCGamer was truly created for, and that was to have fun, and unfortunately if your idea of fun is running around as a three team killing off solo people, then there is nothing to stop you.

Hope this cleared up a few things, have a nice day and if you have any further questions feel free to PM or another Moderator.​

I believe teams are okay. To be honest, it makes the game challenging and exciting, and most of all... intense.

To ban teaming would be to stop players from connecting to each other. Youtube collabs would kind of suck, and clans wouldn't be possible. You could say "just allow clans only," but that means that every time a mod catches a three team, they have to say, "are you a clan? Otherwise, I have to ban you." So that wouldn't work because people would just lie to the mods.

Another thing: a drop in players. The teams are mostly split up on MCSG and Hive, and stopping 3+ teams on our server would make a lot of players leave. That would make Hive FULL of three teams, causing more hate for teams on Hive than they are already getting. That's not solving a problem, that's pushing it somewhere else.

Finally, this would make 4/2-2 teaming common. When I say 4 teaming or 2-2 teaming, I mean two teams of two that target one player and therefore act as one team. It works, and they cover more ground. It would be hard to punish for this kind of thing.

Teaming to increase your odds is a strategy, whether you think it's cheap or not. I've even teamed with two other players to kill a team of two hackers. If you can't three team, hacker two teams would win even more than they already do.

As much as I hate getting three teamed, they are a part of the community, and shoving them out of it wouldn't help anything. Is a chance to win for solos important? Yes, but this suggestion goes too far to increase that chance.

This idea has been cycled so many times man. Firstly, the idea behind taking away teams just isn't feasible. That's outlawing playing with friends basically, actually wait, that's exactly what that's doing. People have preached the idea of taking away teams since the beginning of this server and look where we are today. Even if MCSG would make it a reality think about how some of the community would react, you know, the ones who like to play MCSG for fun and predominantly with friends. Also think about how many people would be banned. Clans would be non existent and it would only be fun for so many people. Secondly, there is actually a thread of things that will never be implemented or if suggested will be skipped over http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/no-no-suggestions-updated-read-before-posting.32625/. Thirdly, you might just have to deal with it, teaming is something that has and always most likely will be part of these servers.

Having a rule like that wouldn't stop people, I guarantee that. People would figure out a way, were humans and we do that.
