Anyone disappointed that you can't actually join Carver?

In ep 3, while talking with Carver in his office you have the dialogue options to agree with his views and even tell him you'll help him. Anyone disappointed that you don't actually have the option to make good on that? Like, when the group wants you to get radios, instead of getting radios, maybe tell them no, or just pretend to be going to get them and instead screw around then come back without them and tell the group you couldn't get them, or even go so far as to tell Carver what's going on...

Now I'm not exactly saying I wanted to join Carver, but after having those dialogue options, it sucks that you can't actually make good on them.

No, he was a madman and he was most likely going to kill your whole group anyway.

Not the point. There are dialogue options that you can choose that seem as though they are leading you to join with Carver, but you don't actually have the ability to do so.

It's kind of obvious we couldn't. When it boils down, the different dialogue only really changes what dialogue you hear and how characters react to you (The biggest choices being Nick/Alvin and do you go with Pete or Nick)

Be interesting

If you were to join them, it would probably differ too far away from the rest of the story.

Probably this

Carver was on the crazy train, and I wouldn't want to follow him at all, or join his group if that was an option. That group was falling apart sooner or later. It was time to jump ship.

If you're OK with murder...he'd be a great person to join up with.

If they had written episode three properly then Carver would have remained the morally grey character he was in episode 2 instead devolving into a mass homicidal serial killer complete with an army of soulless mooks carrying assault rifles everywhere cheerfully devoted to Carver's every whim especially when it comes to terrorizing people and enforcing slave labor with riflebutts to the faces of little girls and acting like well-rounded blackshirted psychos on a powertrip.

If they had written him well then this entire episode would have been a much more interesting (and difficult) ride on TellTale's plot railroad to a Cold Day in Hell.

He still murdered people in episode 2, so even if he stayed the same he would still be a murderer.

And was also implied to have murdered Roman's group.

The circumstances were murky on that incident. As for him being a murderer sure but at least his reasoning was based on an eye for an eye principle since he only started to kill once Kenny started killing first. The Necessary Evil philosophy meant that the only way to protect his people against Kenny's bullets was to shot a hostage. The fact that Carlos' group was guilty of just as much if not more in episode 2 needs more consideration in your argument.

Grey vs. Grey would have been much more interesting than Grey vs. Black.

Carver turned like the Governer in the show. After he lost the first fight with Rick he killed his own people. Carver was headed down that same path. He was no longer a grey after we found the dead men on the riverbank. If those dead men belonged with Carver, I wonder why he ordered their deaths? Christa maybe? Either way, Carver was headed for the darkside before he recaptured them.

Surely the whole of saying "omg i totally get this whole thing your doing Carver" is more like the idea of getting in his good books to betray him later?

I kinda tried to play the game like this. I told him things like "i sorta get this but im not sure" to lie my way to assassinate him but it doesnt work out like that, which is a shame.

It did end rather suddenly i thought and with no real mind games or cunning plans i agree. Just brutal lets kill him asap.
