funny stuff, a better title for the post, imo, though would be Proper Management of Smacktards (PMS

)

4) If you have a decent number of vets on your team, consider having each of them go SL and taking a bunch of smacktards under their wing in an attempt to teach them the finer points of PR.

beautiful...we need to see more of this!!

Nothing useful to add but I just wanted to say this is an awesome post.

Nice to see people addressing and coming up with solutions to problems like this rather then just complaining about them existing!

Personally, I'm a no nonsense guy. If I have a smacktard who doesn't follow orders, I kick him from my squad.

But personally, I sometimes enjoy fighting smacktards, like I kill this one guy, and his entire team just runs in a big cluster. Too easy.

Or when someone places a rally point ontop of a hill so its the most obvious thing, I love it!

Aslong as its not happening in my squad...

This should be like the "Terms of Service" or something you need to read it and sign a document that says you wont be a smacktard then have it noterized before your allowed to play.

Smacktards are like water. They aren’t very substantial, but if you have a whole lot of them continuously flowing at a position, they’ll do some damage eventually
Unfortunately, like velociraptors learning to open door handles, the smacktards are learning how to request crewman kits and move the APC.
Most smacktards have seen Blackhawk Down and similar movies. They do think there’s a certain “1337ness” to teamwork. Try to play off this.
7) Smacktards hate being called smacktards. There’s really no need to create acrimony in the ranks, so avoid it.
Dude , you are on fire !
Sorry that I was too drunk and distracted as to not act like the above mentioned individuals.
I was really Laughing My As Off reading this !

heh I think we should have soemthing like this in the liscencing agreement for the PR install haha.

Written in 1st person..

1. I will not drive APCs or spawn cars directly to the flag.

2. I will not...

etc..

And then say "well you did click 'I accept' when you installed it"

beautiful work wasteland!!! very fun to read and all very true information and valid tactics!

you may not be able to tame the smacktard, but you can predict his movements and therefore benefit from his death.
