pugs tend to run straight to the lz and it's always their downfall. i did like 30+ matches and only had half of them full extracted. mostly someone at the end got killed. though, i wont blame anyone who gets grabbed by a banshee.
myself only failed 2 or 3 extraction. one of them was a big hug :/

Not entirely true though, the opposite is also very likely.
The few non-full extractions even on bronze was because of a few yahoos who stayed out there shooting to get that "one more kill", then missed extraction by a few seconds. 

One run I even had a guy who didn't care to move to the extraction zone. 
Like as if the "kill score" mattered. 
Ah well.

The fact that you can't own up to being mistaken directly and had to use another snide remark as an excuse for the previous one.Your current reply says much too about how you deal with others correcting you.

Awesome. My turn!

Okay, this will be in the guise of paraphrasing as I am attempting to nail down the breakdown in communication.

Lividliver: Object is wrong because of X.

Adhok42: I see something wrong with X because something is throwing up a red flag for me. Allow me a moment to find it... I have found it. It is Y.

Lividliver: I am going to be defensive because your cold calculation feels cruel and insenstive to me but pretend it does not bother me by using a smiley that protrays innocent intentions. Also you are somewhat right but I'm still going to be hurt because of how cold you were.

Adhok42: I will attempt to lighten the situation with a fictional quote that hopefully conveys I feel you are being a little too serious and I did not mean to be so cutting. Your attempts to hide your hurt do not fool me in the least.

Lividliver: I can tell my gambit to hide the hurt did not work. However I do not see your quote as humorous in the least and feel even more hurt as I feel you are attempting to be more sacastic then humorous and will respond in kind by insulting you in a way that is not easily detectable.

Adhok42: The insults are not hidden in the least to me and now my vengeful nature has been provoked. I will now actually respond with actual sarcasm in an attempt to goad you further. Hidden agenda: I am attempting to draw out more infomation in an attempt to determine where the communication in our dialog broke down but to do so I need further dialog.

Lividliver: You goad worked and I respond in kind calling your inability to rectify what I perceved as a mistake and insult you further because now you are actually insulting me.

Hmmm... I see two points on both sides that could have handled the dialog better. Perhaps the quote may have been the wrong answer for me, perhaps you were too hasty in writing off my "Red Flag" as an insult and not as just general information. Whether or not you are feeling too defensive to read this with a neutral outlook may in fact be my fault.

 Hey all, just got a few replies from Mr. Hollan about this whole situation. Apparently, the announcement was made too early and they are "discussing how to proceed cautiously". I'm not sure what this means, but it could mean we possibly won. Or they just planned to tell us we failed when the DLC drops.

Uh-oh... last time that happened we were already in a rage over the N7 matchmaking.

This don't look good.

They could be discussing the miscommunication of the operation goals.  I would like to believe that is the case.

Your very first reply to me isn't as simple as that.Look at how you started off that post.That is the reason why I perceived you as being snide.Was it really necessary to open off your reply in such a manner considering that I respectfully disagreed with the previous poster I was replying to even if I was wrong?

Replying with a quote that I as a non-native English speaker might not understand does not help either.I do apologize though if that quote was supposed to be some positive form of communication in your culture.I could only read the words for what they are and to me,they sounded indignant about being corrected especially the last part which sounded like an excuse to me to not own up.

Edit:In hindsight,why such an elaborate scheme for such a simple matter?I did not even bother to hide me taking offense.Neither did I withhold my admission to being corrected about the previous poster's figures.I outright told you that I felt you were being snide.From there on you engaged in such a plan?

This...so much this. Between Asari adept snipers toting Javelins and Kishocks, and folks who can't be disposed to detonate your targets, I'm not surprised at a potential failure.

Chances are that such players are regulars on bronze or silver where disposing of the enemy quickly as a team is not a necessity since they can just rambo about on their own with their high level rares.Thus,they might end up placing more importance on scoring.

I find far more people on Gold who refuse to detonate Biotic Explosions.

probably yes. Unless you saw the topic about it on BSN, there was no way to know that it was necessary full extraction. Maybe they will consider partial extractions as valid, which probably would reach the goal.

This thread is kind of funny in that I was thinking all weekend, "Man, there are some serious scrub groups playing this weekend!"

Not that I'm a pro, but the bad seemed particularly bad the last couple days.

[MrChris_CJ]

it was full extraction required on gold against reapers, wouldn't suprise me at all if we failed

Mmm... we see...

You may not have seen my first post that way but that's what I intended for it to say. It's supposed to be read as "Something here is not right. My gut instinct is telling me something is VERY wrong here." It is not meant to be taken as "lol u stoopid". Just a general "I personally believe there is something off and want to make it clear I feel something is off."

Similar for the Quote. There was a message written in there stating "I've been through this before. I'm going to correct this problem before it has a chance to get worse." It is an "Adhok42"-only thing. Not nessicerally an English speaking one.

As for the scheme? I'm a very deceptive individual. It comes naturally to me and allows me to see when others are being deceptive even when they aren't aware of it. It's akin to the hunting techqine to the scorpion. I had to make sure you couldn't just walk away from me before I had a chance to explore this. The human mind is a very complicated thing and if I hit the wrong markers I could have easily chased you off because you would have become wise to the plan.

In essence it's very hard for me to explain why I do what I do as only I am aware of why it do it and the reason for why I do it are not easily understood. It's very easy for me to get into other peoples heads but for them to understand me it requires the long complicated drawn out schemes.

I am not the easiest person to get to know. A fact I am very much aware of while others struggle for years and have barely scratched the surface.

What happens if your squad got extracted with reapers on gold? Do you get something then?

Thats got to be it. Still, it's frustrating to Area Reave a mob of mooks, only to watch the Adept next to you plink away at them with their Carnifex, or worse, a Widow.

My team only got any extraction on Gold because we had an Infiltrator cloak for the last ten seconds. I never got anything better all weekends due to randoms not even knowing about BEs, going off on their own and getting killed, or using mismatched loadouts.

  This really irritates me.  You could be several yards away from a banshee and somehow they are able to vaccusuck the life out of you.  These are the kinds of bugs that make me understand why players exploit.
