I've been searching the forums for the rules for Freeze Tag here and can't find any other than the 1 that pops up during play, "No racist remarks." The issue they are both bringing up is that I don't defrost people. I don't think that is an accurate statement. My defuse scores (Assist Score?) is normally middle stack of the team. I try not to get killed while I'm defusing people, which I tried to explain to Mama last night. She felt I should have stopped where I was and defrosted through the novagas. As the last player, I had just killed an enemy and was in a very bad position. Knowing that the guy I killed probably told the team, I tried to move. The only direction initially was away from them so I that I could try to circle around. Unfortunately, I was killed. The ensuing berating from Mama surprised me.
Today, Shooter started the same thing. In fact, after Candyworld, he made it a point to yell (not an exaggeration) over his mic at me. When the next map started I texted that there hadn't been an opportunity to do much defrosting. I know that sounds lame, but {ESC}Hybrid came to my defense. We had been pushed so far forward together the whole time we were communicating and wiping up the other team.
I have no doubt that I need to improve my skills in defrosting. On the rare occasion that my kills are high, my overall score is usually half the top players. I imagine this is due to the score from defrosting. Defrosting is an aspect I'm not used to but I'm getting there. What continues to puzzle me is the "if you don't play this game how I play it, you're wrong" stance. I may be new to this style of play, but I don't willingly ignore my teammates' frozen condition and I certainly help the team any way I can. If I'm continuing to be a problem, wouldn't a PM be more helpful?
