Scenario 1):
The map just changed, people are bitching about the last comm and eventually picking teams.
At this point, everyone has the scoreboard open to check who they want to play with, which team they prefer for the next game and most importantly, which team is stacked.
Suggestion:
In a similar way of how the introduction of team avg skill displays on the scoreboard has shifted peoples attention away from badges and towards actual numbers (even if those are not perfect) I would like to suggest another purely suggestive method of suggestion.
The moment any player joins any team (Aliens, Marines, ReadyRoom, Spectate) the background of their name on the scoreboard (debatetable) gets highlighted (bright colour) and fades to normal in 10s.
Players will be able to tell who stacks, who switches (for good or bad) etc. It will contribute -effectively- towards less stacking in general and a more informed mindset. It is implicitly superior to any restrictive method.
I've asked mendasp. He can't see how this is easily implemented, and is currently taking a break from ns2+ (fair enough).
That's why I'm posting here, maybe someone else has an idea how to make this possible...
