Whenever I go to a ctf server and ask if anyone wants to play fort, most either say no, or why would I play that sh*tty gametype...

So far I think we've exhausted that pool of potential players, but I'll keep a lookout for new people. It's a crap-shoot recruiting from there because lot of CTF players are addicted to rubber and are surprisingly helpless outside of that game type; plus they aren't used to teamwork since it's hardly necessary in CTF.

I have been finding that players who have had tons of experience in CTF and may be looking for new challenges are the ones you want...also the newer players. If I have a couple of other fort players with me that they know as well, we can together pull them into a sample game of fort. Many times, we can make it a fun enough experience to suck them in!
