its funny that you guys take it seriously when people call each other hackers in tf2

Just appreciating the irony of a failspy accusing one of the best Spies on the server of hacking by reacting to the decloak sound.

I got back on the server for a little while before it crashed and I forced to go elsewhere. I might check in this evening, maybe not. It will probably depend on who is on the server and if I want to play with them.

Paranoid, I love your signature.

Is it...

..spectacular?

Blog update. TF2 for Mac tomorrow, which is "later this week" in Valve Time.

Damn, the Scout looks badass in that picture.

You're wrong, "Speem Gortress zmavailable on the Babac." is clearly supposed to be Team Portress available on the crack.

Hey guys, reporting another late-light troll. Moonpie was being a general nuisance to the server at large (74% of players votekicked him once I forced the vote, since he wasn't showing up on the kicklist for a lot of them). He rejoined immediately and began bugging them again and ignored repeated requests to stop.

oh shame on you

or rather, shame on me for being unremarkable enough this past year that you didn't even recognize me

when have i been anything but sweet and adorable? i have 7 days clocked at this server (never any complaints) and a reserved slot despite not playing at all since the sc2 beta came out, and you come in because a 16yearold with 1 day is taking himself way too seriously. these pompous self-entitled and anal kids were correcting anyone who made a spelling error and being condescending on a fucking cartoon video game at 3 am. what a buzzkill.

my "trolling" consisted of spelling things incorrectly on purpose and rehashing everything they said back to them. i even got them to spend an hour talking shit about the bible and to argue the most obvious things, like how potatoes grow underground instead of on trees. eventually it hit them that they were (quite obviously, i might add) being mocked and that's when they got you. ask any other regular present at the time, i made no unprovoked attacks.

He rejoined immediately and began bugging them again and ignored repeated requests to stop.
i received no request from anyone i recognized to stop. i realize your intentions are good but there is no need to exaggerate.

nice patting yourself on the back there

That's not him patting himself on the back, it's acknowledging a fact, like if Frogg called himself a great Heavy.

Okay, maybe not to that degree, but same basic principle.

I'm fairly sure we can count Paranoid as one of the best Spies on the server, owing as he until recently had the most knife kills, and is rather well known for being a great spy among the regulars.

I can go with that, as long as you let me claim the same thing because I hold the global Revolver and Sapper awards.

*makes mental note to reclaim global Revolver/Sapper awards*

Er...you saw nothing. <.<

EDIT: I find a strange irony in possessing the award for most Razorbacks broken. I think I'm getting careless.

For those of you that missed it last time, myself and others are doing yet another Starfox TF2 OCR night this Saturday night starting between 9:00-10:00pm EST and running till it dies out. Yes, it's a Starfox micspam event, however, I am running the rule of no excessive micspam so that it doesn't completely overwhelm everyone. If you're playing TF2 that night and don't enjoy Starfox micspams, just mute everyone. We have a good amount of players, but... it's currently an uneven ratio between the two teams. So if you want any of the following slots, PM me or bug me in Steam (don't publicly announce it):

Starwolf Team:

- Pigma

- Panther

- Andross

Bold - we really need someone to be Pigma

If you want be someone else, it will be considered after Pigma is filled.

And now to let this post be ignored simply because I am the one that posted it.

- Repositioned the Fun Fact on the summary tab of the Achievements dialog and gave it a background to fix truncation and readability.

- Added a priority order for displaying win conditions when multiple win conditions are set.

- If timelimit exists and is not 0, then show timelimit.

- If timelimit does not exist, show maxrounds if not 0.

- If both timelimit and maxrounds are 0, show winlimit.

- If timelimit, maxrounds, and winlimit are all 0, show nothing.

Also, logging in from a Mac within the next 4 days will net you an Earbuds hat.

The game is also 50% off right now.

I have my priorities. The first is to take out enemy sentry guns, which I'm really good at doing. Hence why I have a gold (and now global) sapper award, but only bronze knife/backstab awards. Not that you can get Backstab awards right now, since FireSlash disabled the plugin that logs those.

why would a sentry be your priority its the absolute last line of defense and is incredibly easy for plenty of other classes to take out

its also a heck of a lot easier to take out a sentry than a target thatd actually be important like the enemy medic or top attacker

also hah tutorial for macs

Sentries are difficult to most classes save Demo and Soldier, and most of the time they're pushing the front lines. Spies can sneak around and disable both the gun and the engineer.

Sentries are also only occasionally the last line of defense, I've seen plenty of Engies build their stuff far up to create a first line of defense.

It's a different playstyle that I can certainly see advantages for, especially on maps like Dustbowl or Goldrush where sentries can and have stymied pushes. If there's no Uber around, or able to get to the front lines intact, spies can shut down those defensive points and let the team push forward.

In addition, sentries with a constant Engie guard can be annoying even for spies, and they're not always super incredibly easy, especially if there's more than just the Engie around. Taking out sentries is just a different way to help the team, plus taking out enemy medics and the top attacker are never as easy as they sound. Ever.

Well, part of the point is to sap the sentry gun when your team is about to push.

I also tend to push carts, cap points, and capture Intel as a Spy. None of which show up on a K/D ratio, but do in points.
