Funny part is if you are 10 and split the bill into 2 groups of 5 (more work) they usually do not add it.

I usually tip in the range of 20-30%, if a tip is added automatically I don't tip anything extra. If I am not happy with the service or the food I am not tipping.

If I don't tip I usually leave a mark on the bill saying what I'm not happy about so its something the restaurant / waiter can improve if they feel its important for them. If they don't I can only assume that the extra work needed to make me happy isn't worth the tip for them
If you come in with a large group you are going to take up a lot of that server's time. That is time they could be spending on other guests so the place wants to make sure that the server gets a good tip. It would suck if you put in a ton of effort serving a party of 10 and they left you a tiny little tip.
