SCRAMBLE is a theoretical command that would shuffle all players on a team (or on all teams) into new positions. Madmax coined the term in the Team Shuffle thread.

Either based on some sort of ranking for as even teams as possible, or randomly for as random teams as possible.

Of course, this was already accomplished almost 3 years ago, here. No code changes needed, just a script.

I'm aware, and I'm also aware that people haven't been able to reach him or his code/scripts for a good while. That's how I understand the case anyway.

Personally, I think that'd be an awesome addition to G5's, especially with all the nice stats it has documented.

I play it on my gameboy from time to time. Also sometimes on an emulator on the computer!

Ah, didn't know there's a Gameboy version—the GBA "Konami Collector's Series" cart, apparently? One of these days I'd like to get a Gameboy Player for me Gamecube. I'll have to keep that one in mind.

Yeah, I have it for emulators, as well. The Vectrex version is sweet, if only because vector-screen graphics are inherently sweet. :D

Awesome idea this scramble thing! That would avoid fights and make everybody practice every position and not get bored of the current one :D

I wonder is there anyway to make def not worry about shuffling everytime somebody joins the team.. like if there's 6 players in one team - defender shuffles to 6 and when a new players that joins is automatically in pos 5 or something like that?

Yeah, you definitely want someone new who has never played Fortress before (or barely played) right in the middle of your grind.

No, but you also don't want your defense at position 3 either.
