Stop powering down like a **** and fight.
Who are you to dictate to anyone else how to play?

It is the fastest way to reduce heat.
It prevents enemy players from detecting you in an over watch position until they move away into a more advantageous engagement position.
Scouting and reporting via VOIP on what you see and relying on camouflage to protect you.
To find a hidey hole or destroyed mech to get in or next to and allow the other team to walk right past you.
This is one tactic, of powering down your mech, is one that many players are totally ignorant of. So ignorant players will just assume that a player is just protecting the KDR because most people do that. Then start telling the other team where that person is totally screwing his plans over. How do I know this, that is how I play. Some times it allows you to get another kill, more damage or even win the match if you are very lucky. It takes more time, but if someone does that I will put his name on a list to kill off first in any match I or some friends see him on the other team. If he is on the same team I can inform the team over VOIP that he likes to give out locations.

This is exactly what I'm trying to get across. What's more, once you get to a certain level of play, this kind of no-win scenario is just the epic challenge you're looking for. When you pull it off, it's the kind of win you'll start a post about in the "Barracks" forum. It's the kind of win that gets you those shiny titles you're chasing. It's the kind of win that lets you and everyone who bears witness that your mech-fu is stronk.
If the dead skrubs on your team don't want to help you salvage the match that they blew, early and hard... man, f*$k those porkchops. They're haters who say they're trying to save time, but the truth is they didn't win and they aren't playing, so they don't want you to win. They don't want you to play.
Someday, if these skrub-types spectate and learn enough, say no to drugs, stay in school, drink their milk, and eat their Wheaties, they'll get good enough to be the last man standing on a PUG team that got wasted in the first 5 with 3+ enemy mechs left. They'll know what it feels like to sweat bullets while the enemy passes 25 meters from their powered-down mech. They'll know what it feels like to take a deep breath, power up, and get down.
Until then, all they'll know is how to ruin the game for the people who know how to play it.

he doesn't have the burden of explaining his team what he is doing
meanwhile nobody has the right to disclose his position regardless what they think of his intentions

I keep a pretty broad definition of a winnable situation, but if the last guy's intentions to waste time, be cowardly, etc. are completely clear, then it has become a matter of 23 people's time vs. this guy being a non-useful body. I'm not his teammate, nobody is his teammate. None of us care about how long he survives. The round has ceased as far as I am concerned. We all just want to get to the next game instead of waiting around for our mechs to unlock.

No one has to explain themselves just to prevent someone else from betraying them.

Nope, you don't need to justify yourself. However, it won't matter if you're reported.
Team Treason
Treasonous provision of information to enemy combatants, also known as "bird-doging" is forbidden. This involves a player using the in-game chat to provide the enemy team with the locations of their own team mates. While we appreciate that some players may wish to have a round end early by calling out the location of an AFK team-mate, the risk that this could be used against an active participant of the match to deny them the use of cover and movement makes this a form of a griefing. You may declare a teammate AFK but not their coordinates or position.

All right. I see my mistakes now, and I shall try not to repeat them again!
Thanks, guys!
No problem, man.
I see this all too often, and now I ended up walking into it. The internet is a HORRIBLE method to communicate anything other than clear facts free of inflection, humor, or anything else. Honest mistakes look like trolling, a lack of understanding about how something works can be interpreted as trying to make problems, and then people snap, assuming the worst.
I still wish the game flagged premade teams in your queue. In retrospect, I realize another problem that happened here - we were NOT all part of the same unit in that drop. So, even if you kept all the people in my unit together, you were inadvertently still breaking up lances that were part of a premade.
Anyway, Lunatic, good games to you, and I hope your future experiences are better. Most MWO players are fine folks - I try to be one, too - but mistakes happen, and sometimes bad games, real-life stuff, or a trip to the forums can bring out the worst in people, too. Take care, and have fun!
