Maps: Most of the stock maps are good enough. Customs should be handled with care. Plugin: As long as there is some sort of voting functionality I can't complain. Settings: I prefer no random crits no damage spread yada yada so pro competitive tryhard. Alltalk is fun. There should be some sort of votekick functionality just so we don't have to bug admins to get rid of asshats. Reserved Slot: If we need to buy reserved slots that's cool.

I was wondering, Powerlord, if it would be all right if we made use of one of the servers for our UGC Highlander match on Monday, Feb 6? I apologize for short notice. If that is all right here is the link to the page with the and maps. http://www.ugcleague.com/files_tf2h.cfm Here's a direct download to the configs. http://www.ugcleague.com/files/configs/ugc_HL_v020412.rar Here's a direct download link to the match map, Warmfront. http://www.ugcleague.com/files/maps/cp_warmfront.zip Oh and Paranoid, I taunt because I care.

If anyone would like to be part of another Highlander tournament we are setting up a team and still need another member or two to fill out our roster. Here's our team, feel free to ask anyone on it for an invite. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/termsofenrampagement

I am liking these balance changes. Hopefully Valve will start scaling back its recent trend of power creep.

Not annoyed, just busy like everyone else.

Since the game now supports custom decals it may be wise to update the MOTD to include the no porn rule on custom textures.

The lag that everyone is seeing is a problem in TF2, not the server. Valve (John Lipencot) has already said that they are working on it. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2117746

Bill's Hat: ~10$ Genuine Deus Ex Set: ~20$ The rest: ~2-5$ You may be able to find someone willing to trade a 30$ game for your backpack. You can even do it securely by opting into the Steam Trade Beta. That way you can't get scammed.

The hat you want may not exist yet. Actually you may be able to get a lot for it since it's a new effect. You may want to post it up on TF2TP, SourceOP, and the SPUF forums to get a feel for some decent offers. I guessing you can get ~5 buds (50 keys) for it. You could also start asking the guys that know unusuals like Sun Spy and Pink Taco.

Hit me up. I can equip you in a way that pleases us both. I have many multiples of almost every weapon. That goes for the rest of you. Look through my backpack to see if there is something you need. http://www.tf2items.com/id/necromancy

There we go. http://imgur.com/5eP25?full

You do not get thanked nearly enough for the work you do. It is really appreciated. Thanks.

So Drunken Fool has just been hired by Valve. http://www.sourceop.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=53374 http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/ihc8m/i_ruined_tf2_at_least_twice_and_am_now_iama/ He will be releasing all the Source OP plugins in the near future.

Yep. The Great Lakes Reddit server had invited Robin to come and play with them. I forget the reasoning or event. Good stuff there.

Maybe Valve doesn't take Medieval mode seriously.

Are your guys crafting metal together to try and get the new hats? Because most old hats can be traded for ~2 refined give or take.

Yes you were. It was really funny.

I like Moondoggy. He's good at that one thing and once you counter it he can't do too much. He's good but he's used to easy stairstabs so you can bait him really easily. I just like to go Scout when he's around because he only uses the DR. He also hates the Shortstop. Yay replays:

I think I will run through this small vent swinging my equalizer. Wait, did I just kill a Spy? Awesome! Better taunt so he knows how good I am.

Tried to figure out who Jon Lippincot is. Here is his profile. http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197997296694 The only other mention of him I can find is from when the blog mentioned Minecraft. Weird that they wouldn't think about a reason to have both on at the same time especially since the replay function has literally been in development for over a year.

bind Mouse1 /slap Necro Try this. It's still under heavy development by the guy doing it but it will allow you to bypass the SILK codec. http://flaggedgames.wordpress.com/tf2dj/ So I'm expecting no less than the following commands to be in full swing on Admin Abuse Night. Because I expect a high standard of abuse from my admins. Slay Blind Gravity check * Bomb (Time, Freeze, Fire) Burn Beacon Teleport

Actually, you are correct. All crits do triple damage with no fall off based on their base damage. This means that the crit damage is figured from doing damage at mid distance. Crit damage does not include damage ramp up which adds about 50% to the base damage. Example: Shotgun pellet does 6 damage at mid range and crits at 18 per pellet. Damage ramp up at point blank brings each pellet up to 9. Most weapons barring a few follow this rule. I thought that was a tongue in cheek joke that you left in. It was pretty funny. So the patch notes about rewarding players that craft new hats means this: If you craft a new hat it receives a number. It has yet to be determined how far up the numbers go but it seems to only apply to newly released hats. This should make metal very valuable very quickly.

The reason that it appears that the weapons are less inspired is because the new weapons that they are releasing are simply stat changes to existing elements already in the game. The truly new ideas came with the class specific updates because they introduced new mechanics. These updates are new models with different stats but the same mechanics which is why they feel underwhelming. Another note. The beta seems to have added a user made mod that added in a bunch of unused lines from all the classes. http://www.reddit.com/r/tf2/comments/gyldi/beta_update_4262011_lots_of_crazy_new_items/ Final note. Saw a post about a new DJ that supposedly works with the new SILK codec. I don't know how well it works though, I am not knowledgeable on this area. Apparently servers can choose to use the old codec as well which would make HLDJ work again. http://flaggedgames.wordpress.com/tf2dj/
