So, if you're mining an area and feel that you have sufficiently covered the base and want to take over duties for mining the base, then advise your teammates. I would also STRONGLY suggest that you let your team know about the 30 mine limit. I didn't find out until last week and I've been playing for 3 weeks now. An average player wouldn't expect to see mines disappear from the game like they have done here. So if others are planting mines that you feel are useless, just let them know that you are taking care of business.

Of course, you'll run into the oddball who just won't care and will ignore messages or just wants to play Rambo style but for the most part, you'll be creating more team oriented players by giving them advice.

If you ever spot me in a game (CedricSneer), don't be surprised to see messages from just about everything I'm about to do. I like my team to know where I'm going or what I'm doing. I also like to notify my team where mines are disappearing and where enemy mines are being placed. And most of all, I like to notify my team of incoming attacks from a certain side. If only I could come up with more efficient ways of doing this instead of typing it all out...
