Roland was extremely livid today because of a guy who shot full barrage of hwacha rocket from point blank distance... destroying only ONE engine.

Well... I was playing with Roland today. We both joined the crew formation. We started looking for a new match, aaaaaand... After five minutes we stumble upon one.

What was wrong?

We were split; he was on the ship as captain, and I was on ship of the enemy team.

Dafuq matchmaker?

This happened to me yesterday!  We had a ship of four people and ended up split between the teams.

Found a great use for the matchmaker today - I decided to begin grinding the finally nerfed teaching achievements. After loosing a few games by moving my self repeatedly onto ships full of the greener-than-green newbies who've just bought the game on sale - I could taste my glicko rating plummeting. Now, I don't even need to move myself I've reached the golden situation where it'll place me on a crew with 3 people below lvl 12 without fail - I'll have finished all the achieves I need by the end of the week! =)

I did warn about how easy manipulation of the ratings would be. Though..... why does it keep sticking me with paste-eaters?

Sometimes... that paste is airplane glue.

I saw that one before, but did not hit screenshot quick enough before that crew member left. What happened after that?

This has happened to me before as well. I couldn't click out of it and I was stuck forcing me to leave the room and come back.

I couldn't click anywhere and nothing would work so i rebooted. I'm pretty sure that's what happened.

But what we did was i was engi in a pilot slot, whilst melon searched for a game as a pilot.

Match maker really hates that xD
