Buffalo Bill: The original idea was Up's, and he mentioned it more as
a passing thought of "hmm, I always wanted to try that".

UP: Yeah. It was really just a pipedream until I was talking to Buff about
all the misconceptions public players seem to have about competitive play.

Buffalo Bill: As we talked, we worked out who would do what and how we would do it,
and eventually all it came down to was "So, are we both actually willing to go through with this?", I think.

Buffalo Bill: He and I both agreed, and after that it was merely technicalities. Just a matter of
getting the thread started and seeing how people would respond.

UP: Since Buff is pretty well known on the Steam forums as a competitive player, he made a post there asking for
some applicants. Two days later we had a team and started the training.

Buffalo Bill: I think I'm mostly known as an elitist douchebag, tbh :p

How often do you go through tactics with the team?

UP: As often as we have enough people for it to be worth it.

Buffalo Bill: If it was up to Wildcard he'd be going through sessions with them every night. That's not really a bad thing though, they've made tremendous progress since we first got them started.

UP: I've been pretty surprised by how willing they are to go through this stuff, to be honest.

Buffalo Bill: Agreed. The first time we had the whole team together Wildcard said "a quick session to go through Granary" and we ended up in mumble and the server for 2 hours. Not a single complaint. Just questions about "What happens in situation X"?
