Umm... Cind3rs. I'm part of TAI. I usually am logged onto XFire when I'm online. Just so you know...

And I'm online a lot.

lol. 

Well it depends on the hour, they're certainly enough players to play games with but sometimes I've seen that on the odd hours filling up a game quickly can sometimes be hard. It's usually not because they're not enough players though, its mostly because not eveyonre likes the same game(map, pub or not, competetive etc). The majority of my games fill up in 5-10min.

The best way to go is to talk to your team mates in Pug games, friend them, and ask them to play with you when they're on.  Pacov also runs balanced vent server games, where you can meet some great players to play with in some competitive matches.  Personally, I'm a big fan of playing with a small group on vent.  I try and invite people whenever I can.  We're usually a friendly bunch, although drunk and disorderly sometimes (hedgie can attest).

Best of luck finding a play group - we are out there!

We'll be okay, worst case we'll start 1v2ing Tim.  Enough drinks and it should be an even match!
