Because I know that someone on my team will go take Zone A and flip our spawn. EVERY -blam!-ING TIME. Even when we control both B and C, they will go take A.
And if the enemy starts taking C, causing the spawn to flip, the randoms won't do the smart thing and go fight to take it back. Hell no. Too much work. They'll go over to the unoccupied and undefended Zone A and proudly take it. Sometimes they'll dance, the morons. It never occurs to them that there's a REASON it's undefended: the other team is BEGGING YOU to go take it.
WILL YOU FOR THE LOVE OF CRAP STOP DOING THIS.
A Control match on Shores of Time, between 2 teams that both know what they're doing, will revolve around taking zones B and C. The only time ANYONE will take A is when Bravo takes it as their first zone. After that, there is NO reason whatsoever to ever see any announcement regarding Zone A. NONE. WHATSOEVER. I don't care if you lost all your zones; go take B or C. DON'T take A. It just makes things worse.

STOP IT. JUST STOP. DON'[T TAKE ZONE A.[/b]

Back when TTK just came out and my friend were still playing... 1 day, we decided to mess around and just keep the A flag. Normally we spawn trap the shit out of teams, but thought let's do something different. Let them keep the 2 flags, knowing a team will just wait for you to go after them. Watch them get impatient and come towards us just waiting for them. So we camped the A side. And never left. We waited for them to come through chokepoints that A side players normally have to go through, and won the game pretty easily. Aside from a few titan hammers (which were OP then), the other party of 4 people I think + 2 randoms, were too impatient and kept coming to us. The game went all the way to the time limit, but we won by a few thousand points... like 18,000 to 13,000 or something. That's not possible to do with random teams, but with just 1 crappy flag, we still managed to beat the shit out of another team.
