Like I said in the meeting, team events almost ALWAYS go bad. Here's a few of my points:
- People May Not Want To Be On A Team Making Them Mad If They Have To Be On One.
- What If Nobody Wants To Be On Their Team Due To Notoreity Level, Weapon Levles, Etc.?
- What If They Get Mad At Each Other Or Blame Each Other Because They Lost? It Would Ruin Their Friendship.
- If We Didn't Give Them A Choice, Then They Would Not Know We Gave The Option, Therefore, Being Fair For All.
- What If Somebody Isn't As Good As Another, The Other Teamates May Take Over, Or Blame Them For EVERYTHING.
These are just a few of the problems that have happened in the past with team events. VMK stopped doing team contests/competitions, because people lost friends, and some quit VMK. I've lost a friend in a team competition, and almost lost two. I don't think it would be fair to have team contest/competition. What if they want to be a one person team? Voting, is a way of deciding this, but it wouldn't be fair to the other people if they didn't want teams. Even if they can still be a one person team on a team race, it doesn't seem fair that they have to do the entire thing, while others don't.
Yes, team building is important in ANY game, but there's limits. Team events on a lot of games, usually go badly. There are other ways to work with people, but in my opinion, team events aren't a very good way of doing/teaching it.
Just a few of my points, that I tried to address in the meeting :). I was pointing out facts, and my opinions, on the idea, and that's what meetings are for :) LOL.
Sorry if it's too long ;),
