  • 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 ,

I see. For some reason I can't hear ANYTHING at the meetings because of the strange and odd plus sign in the chat box. I still can't figure out whether or not it has to be on or off for me to hear you guys.

Anyway, interesting points. I guess we'll have to find a way to spice up a regular relay race. Just racing around may not be appealing to people.
