Fireslash, thanks for popping in, but I think by the time you got there the damage had already been done
Ooh, it sounds like something went down. What happened?
</morbid curiosity>
EDIT: I remember on Granary that someone with the name Gary was being accused of hacking. (Someone mentioned aimbotting specifically, but whatever.) I specced him for a bit and he was...a Spy (what), although he had the Ambassador, which would explain an aimbot. But he fired it too fast to allow for perfect accuracy, which are required for headshots to happen. And he never broke double digit points iirc. So...hax, or just idiotic players? (Not you guys, you're cool. In fact, I think it was some of the BGND people accusing him, but don't quote me on that.)
-
So I don't know what happened, but a bunch of people who I didn't recognize managed to totally own us on Dustbowl. The Demo spam probably helped. (And I definitely walked into a sticky trap placed at our spawn exit at least once.)
Then my internet decided to shit itself for the second time today and I said fuck it.
-
I'm suddenly reminded of the time I thought [lions] was [loins]. That was...special.
(Then again, it could have been for real, and my paranoia could just be manifesting now. That's what the voices tell me, anyway.)
-
cp_well is custom?
...
Goddammit Valve.
-
IIRC, waffle fire is caused by custom particles, which only appear in custom maps. (duh) So...keep track of which custom maps you play on and stop playing on the ones that cause problems? Only permanent solution I can think of.
-
I lol'd heartily.
-
id (and im sure paranoid and others) would be much more interested to see how they play on a full server
Not all of them, mind you. Some, like Rollout, looked kind of...eh. The one's I'm really interested in are HAARP, Vector, Animus, Panic, Premuda, Nightfall, and Slate. (In approximately that order.)
-
That was suggested ages ago, lol. (Not in so many words, but yeah.)
I'd be totally up for that. Been wanting to try HAARP and Vector for ages now.
-
That's when you start saving for a new computer.
-
Early dismissal from work to go play L4D2. Yeah.
Life is good for me.
I will see ya'll @0330 EDT.
You mean...
Brushfire: "Can I leave early?"
Brushfire's Boss: "Why?"
Brushfire: "There's this new game that's coming out tonight, and..."
Brushfire's Boss: "Sure, go ahead."
...
Best boss ever.
-
You may as well scratch me off the list for tonight. (lol it starts in 15 minutes anyway) I have that project to do, then staying up for L4D2 going live. I may be on later, but it definitely won't be for the scrims.
-
Players who are participating in the current scrim will be determined before teams are picked. From those players 2 voluntary captains will start picking. (Captains can duel for first pick in a ditto match. For God's sake, not as Cloak & Dagger Spies.)
Fixed that for you.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it tonight. I'm responsible for piecing together a group project that's due tomorrow. (Although I seem to have an uncanny knack for making time for TF2 anyway, but that's another matter.)
EDIT: On an unrelated note, Server #2's been pretty empty apart from these weekly scrims. Do people just prefer the stock maps?
-
Oh.
*scratches idea off list*
-
Yeah.
You can tell by their avatar sometimes.
Though that situation of name changing wasn't to hide identities or anything.
The only non-tagged NQA guy I know of is Brock Samson
And I'm willing to bet GUN! is one too based on the name changes.
That would explain a lot, actually. Like why these people whose names I had never seen in my life were somehow owning my ass.
Does anyone think maybe informing some higher-up at nQa or something would have any results?
-
although none will ever be as bad as this
Oh jeez.
Were the NQA guys from last night the ones with Gun in their name by any chance?
-
Is there a particular reason 2Fort and Hydro are right next to each other in the rotation? They're more or less universally hated and it seems like a surefire way to empty the server. (It actually did empty about halfway through Hydro, although I'm not sure it was because of the map or because everyone was fed up with teamstacking.)
In other news, Borax updated to rc_2.
-
A reinstall of hlstats is already on the todo list between powerlord and I due to backstab tracking being broken since the server move, but if that doesn't fix it then there's a legitimate flaw in the program. It is still claiming that it's ignoring frags during the bonus round though, so I doubt this is going to solve it.
I must have missed this. <3
On a totally unrelated note, I remember some interest a few pages back about playing on some of the contest entries from the latest TF2maps.net contest. I haven't had a chance to play on any of them, but I think it'd be worth seeing how some of them pan out. (HAARP, Vector, and Premuda in particular, but that's me.)
Fancy page with download link.

rofl. Tf2 christmas cards http://store.valvesoftware.com/productshowcase/productshowcase_tf2-holidaycards.html
Want. So much want.
Interesting. There seems to be a filter on allcaps.
-
Honestly, I don't care about pregame mayhem, humiliation, or end-of-round slayings. I just want it to count my backstabs again.
-
Mind you, you can hear the damn thing from miles away, and most of the guns will take her down long before she gets into range, so...
Maybe it's just me, but I can never hear the Spitter coming until after she's spat all over the floor. I'm thinking it's just me not being used to her sounds, but I've gotten to hear Jockeys and Chargers with consistency already, so...idk.
-
I assume this part of the master plan to slowly phase out the old server?
-
what people can generally do and is rather effective is open teamchat (press u) and type "@hey this guy is a real ballsack can you do something" or whatever you want
the @ before the message will send it to only the admins on the server and it will appear in GREEN on their screen so its kinda hard to miss
I did not know about this feature. Duly noted.

I'm a veteran when it comes to dealing with sexism on the internet
For some reason this line made me smile. I'm not sure why.
I have nothing productive to contribute to the matter since I wasn't there to witness it.
-
I'm not sure if we're being sarcastic or not anymore...
The Sandman ban doesn't affect me because I never use it (although I still need that achievement), but I'd still prefer it allowed because my inner OCD goes whaarblgarbl at only one weapon being banned. Also because I honestly don't see what the big deal is with it anymore since it can't stun Ubers and -30 HP is huge.

LOVE <3<3<3
Carry on.
EDIT: Wait, I'm apparently not friends with you yet. I must remedy this.
