Alright, now that two people have said this... I guess I wasn't very clear on what I meant. In elims, you aren't really taking numerical data. It's more about a couple of lead scouts taking notes and building strategies out of the strengths and weaknesses of opposing alliances. It's not as intensive.
I'll reiterate my main point: just be nice to people, and they'll be nice to you. Be understanding of others' situation, and they will be understanding of yours. This entire discussion has become uncharacteristically heated, not just for CD, but for FRC in general. It's interesting, absolutely, but let's try not to leverage age, reputation, or rhetoric to prove each other wrong. Discussion, not fighting.
