Slayerik, that oafy soldier, decided to challenge us with his fake clan to a scrimmage. Us, being a bunch of respectable fake clan members, led by fearless spies and pyros and giant easy buttons, will accept this challenge because we were probably going to be playing anyway.

Place: F13.NET's IVORY TOWER SERVER
Password: f13scrim
Players: 10 per side

If you are not on the list, please don't even join to spectate until the game starts. Thanks.

Nerf
Phildo
Ookii
Schild
WayAbvPar
Megrim
Fabricated
Bhodi
Rattran
Strazos

Subs:
Falwell
Caladein
Gimpyone
Soln

In that order.

The Other team, led by either candy or washed out white rappers:
Slayerik

Also, in a friendly exchange, I called Freshfruit and Slayerik claimed MkVenner. We don't even know if they'll play with us.

Finally, if you can't make it, just tell me by Saturday. I'm sure I can find... replacements  :evil:

I'd be up for it, as long as it's after 7pm EDT Sunday. I work weekends.

Forgot the time, it's at 8pm.

Where's our TF2 Subforum?  :awesome_for_real:

lol

Love the thread schild.

We're up to 7 signups on our forums, I'm guessing by Sunday we should have enough. Should be fun, looking forward to it.

8pm est?   :cry: I'll still be working

I don't know what you think you're joking about soldier boy. I'll shove that hat up your ass.

I volunteer to be a non-threatening stand-in.

Oh its on now. Revenge of the washed up white rappers!!! RAWR

Slayerik's so gangsta, he held the keyboard sideways when he typed that.

I make it know I'ma killa by nature (nature)
Ain't no fear in my heart (heart)
I'ma walking time bomb blowing bitches apart
Making all my adversaries recognize I'm the shit
I make bitches out of whole clicks
Ain't no fucking wit dis
Coming wit my nigga "Low souljafied to the finish
Be a G to the fullest, bitch I represent it
Taking niggas on flights, popping up in Jamaica
Playing niggas like a game a sega
Smoking weed and drinking hennessy got a nigga trippin'
I'm on some sick homicidal shit that's the way I'm feelin'
And suited up for combat bitch I'm down for the cause
Kamikazed about my issue ruff rucking it raw
A lot of niggaz talk the game, but I'm keeping it real
Fuck with me and best believe bitch you will get killed
I'm a motherfucking light, I'm gone watch 'em bleed
Even if it means the death of me, and all i heard was...

If I die I'm take 10 niggaz with me
Take ten niggas with me



No lie.

On a serious note, any thoughts for rules or maps we want to hit?

I would like to see one match "Highlander" Style, 1 of each type full time. If there are 10 guys then the 1 extra can do whateva or we make that match 9 on 9

Gravelpit, dustbowl, well ? 2fort?(not my favorite but im willing to discuss)

IN!!

Assholes, starting this when I am working.  :evil:

Okay then, count me in. Hopefully nothing will come up.

Well and 2fort both suck (and Granary and Hydro) for competitive play because of the fucking tie rules. If you want to play them you'll need to come up with some rules on how to handle stalemates.

I know how to handle stalemates. 5 games, no time limit, when one team hits 3, we manually change the map.

No timelimit means you guys could be playing well into Monday if the two sides are nearly evenly matched.

No, if both sides get fed up, there are people with admin powers. Calling it a wash between evenly matched teams seems more than reasonable.

Too bad we're going to stomp their balls into their necks.

If you have two evenly matched and reasonably coordinated teams with one going all defense and one going all offense, the offensive team WILL push through and score a capture.  Eternal stalemates are the result of neither side being willing to commit to an attack, not the result of both sides being evenly matched.  

The reason you get eternal stalemates in pub games is that offense requires a slightly higher level of coordination -- you need to make sure you all attack at the same time for best effect, whereas the defenders get that for free by virtue of all being in the same place.  It's not a terribly high bar, but it is beyond the average pubtard and therefore it generally only happens by luck in pub games.  I don't see it being as much of a problem here.

If you guys play Highlander-style it's going to be hard to crack a tough D, even with a coordinated O, because of the dearth of ubers.

Also now that I think about it Gravepit and Dustbowl suck as well for competitive play because of the scoring system. You are still goiing to need to make rules for how to handle point ties.

Hope it's a success and you have another one next week when I can play..

BTW, you guys need a couple of spectators who can record demos so we can all point and laugh at you guys afterwards.

I'm definately in

Is there a HLTV client out for TF2? If not, i figured that if i'm too laggy to play i can go spec and record.

I'd be very much down for Sunday. I guess I'd be on the waiting list though, unless I can't count.

Count me in.

God damnit, how did I miss this thread? Well, put me in as an alternate for Schild's team. I'll teach this Slayer kid how soldiering is done. (NERD WAR!)

I'll carry water for whoever needs it.

Not a chance sucka. Your bunny hopping skillz fail vrs me.

Shit, missed the sign up. That sucks. Can we spectate/HLTV?

im sure they will be at least a few spots for spectators...

I'm hoping the specs don't lag the server.

I unfortunately can't make it.  Have to work.  BOO.

But, fun time tonight with 5-6 on both side.

You seemed to be a top scorer most the night, good stuff. We'll try to play on F13, if its full though be sure to check if "Morituri Nolumus Mori" server is up, I try to get things going there when I can.

Damnit, I'm busy tonight... I would've totally showed up to backstab Schlid.

Edit: I should be there in all my 800x600 glory!

Slayerik, you're gonna be on the receiving end of that shit in about 10 hours.

Did I mention I got pretty fucking unstoppable with soldier? Heyearrrrrgh. CANADA!

The sun even shines on a dog's ass once in a while.

I should be around if anyone can't make it.... and I think my mic actually works now.   Huzzzah.

Phildo smash.

Welp, such is the way of things - it looks as though uni work is going to be keeping me from attending on time. I will try to make it a little later, if one of the subs or players wants to rotate out at some point. How many maps are we playing, and how long for?

Updated info in first post.

fug, I gotta miss it.  No pole dancing decals for me   :(

Valiant effort! :(

Fun times, those Gravel Pit games always came down to the wire.

C'est la vie. We should've been allowed Freshfruit since they had Fagglerock (oh god, so easy, had to). :awesome_for_real:

Slayerik wins a perma-ban for his crit-rocket madness!

Plus his fake clan cheated by being less bad than our fake clan.

<edit> Team to fake clan, to make it less clear

Wish I had warmed up beforehand; couldn't make a shot to save my life on DB.  :awesome_for_real:


We should do this again.

Funny part is, I didn't get to play a ton of soldier...I was kinda just filling roles most the match...The last game we were stressing pretty heavy, finally we made some progress and I just started hurling rockets at the point and matrix dodging the return fire.

That shit was a lot of fun. Thanks to all who participated, I have a feeling this could be a weekly thing. Props to Ookii for running it and turning me into fresh gibs repeatedly.

Mkvenner was still a ringer for you guys, that guy is pretty sick. Fagglerock gives him a match for spy pretty well though.

Lemme know how your emergency room trip was for the crit ass rocket removal, schild.

Straz, you dome pieced me a few times on DB. Can't win em all!

Thanks everyone, was great fun. We should definitely do it again.

Was a lot of fun, look forward to another match at some point. Strazos, I wouldn't be stressing about your shooting, you had me steaming multiple times over here. Good fun all together and thanks for hosting the match. Stop by our server sometime, more than welcome.

I blame myself for the loss, I was playing fucking horribly tonight.  I'll try not to stay out til 5am drinking next time we have one of these matches.
Still tho, good times, great fun

I only caught the last few rounds, but bad luck on the loss guys. MVPs to Mkvenner and Bhodi for keeping C-point alive for a rediculously long time. Boo-hiss to Schild for bottoming. Dragged down the team imo, should be kicked from clan.  :-D

Bad luck my ass!

Its not luck when I turn on ze crit rocket hax.

I don't know what was wrong with me.

It's the pressure man.

Slayerik, what does MnM stand for? It's not Mug'n'Mouse is it?

Where are the demos so we can all point and laugh at schild?

Wish I had the part where schild sat launching rockets off the top of the Gravel Pit tower...with 2 blue behind him killing the medic.

I loved that part, especially when everyone was yelling "BEHIND YOU GODDAMNIT!!" into voice chat.

I wish I could've pulled that off.   :awesome_for_real:

Morituri Nolumus Mori ... stands for 'those about to die dont want to ' or some shit in latin ... MnM is basically a conglomeration of MMO players, some from back as far as Shadowbane, that I have kept gaming with or in touch with over the years. Our most recent MMO was WoW but most have burnt on that. Previous to that was SWG, Planetside, etc.

I remember that time you gusy were talking about with the medic and the rocket man. You guys were ubered and I'm like, well shit I'm done for. The soldier kept spammin rockets off the ledge. I was an engi and got a shotgun blast or 2 on the medic and helped with schild before I went down. I think he was so used to engi's being up there, friendly ones, that it didnt produce the usual rocket to the dome effect.

I got bum rushed by Pyros so much it was depressing. That moment at C on Gravel Pit was just icing on the cake :awesome_for_real:.

No demos, but scoreboards (I D/C'ed before our last game on Gravel Pit):

(http://percentsign20.com/files/tf2/f13-mnm-granary-final.jpg)

my cybertrons decided to go on vacation from 7-10, so instead of recordy goodness I just got pissed off at NWN2 AI. were there, in fact, any demos?

You lacked teh medic.

So you guys did do better w/out me :(

My 800x600 glory weekends should end soon w/ the purchase of a new computer.  Surprisingly, weeknights are my new gaming nights.

After the granary pyro rush you guys pulled off (nicely done) I dont wanna hear about our 1-2 pyros we had the whole match :) Both sides seemed to have about the same class make up most the time. Lots of soldiers.  I thought you guys were better about having medics around, we usually only had one...There were also certain parts of dustbowl and gravelpit (damn B skylight rockets / pipes) where you guys really seemed to have your shit together, but once you lost the initial point the D crumbled.

Pyro is <3.

So we on for next week?

There are a couple F13 guys who have almost uncanny aim with the soldier rockets.  I whimper whenever Nerf comes on,  since he seems to have the "seek Johny Cee's head" rockets.

Heres hoping I can make it next time. I have gotten a bit more nasty with Soldier and Pyro lately.

Nerf and I played on a different server last night, I came out in 1st at the end of the gravel pit cycle :( :( :(

Sigh.

Can't deliver when needed. I'm like a living MMOG.

I'd say points aren't everything, but thats only if you are running engi so that your team can have a teleporter. Or suiciding as a pyro to fuck up rushes.

When playing medic I quickly learnt to latch onto Nerf whenever he passed by and practically ignore everyone else, as he was the only one on with the unnatural ability to kill everything that moved. So keeping him alive seemed preferable to uber wasting heavies (on the rare occasion when I trigger an uber at the right time).  :-P

Ah, my specialty.

I had a blast last night- we definitely need to do it again soon. I had brief flashes of competence last night, which surprised me. I still need to learn to value my life a bit more, however.

I have no value on my characters life unless I'm an engineer or playing a demo and mine guarding a capture point.  Other then that I play with reckless abandon... probably too much really especially on Sudden Death.   Really that round is so unappealing to me I just want to end it as soon as possible. 

You both would've been crying last night, Schild outscored me ffs.  Next time I need to make sure I dont drink as much, or more, either way, i'll figure it out, we will have our revenge!

Note to medics, if you haven't figured it out yet: don't waste your time on [f13] Sky. Sure, I'm a demoman. But I'm a solo rambo that will get your as killed. Or I'll turtle around doing nothing. Basically, whatever you want me to be doing, I'll be doing the opposite. Can't help it, really, I'm a contrary bastard.

Even though I suck at TF2, I need to get on and play some more with you guys before the title moves out of the du jour stage.

Alright schildy, ball is in your court. You pick the day/time this time around.

I'm free pretty much all weekend, so count me in.

I vote for sooner than this weekend if feasible, can we really not scrounge up 10 people on a weeknight? I know you fuckers don't have lives either.

I can commit to tomorrow (Tuesday) night up to about 10 PST.

What does that make it EST? 2am?  I can commit till about midnight EST, but I work flex hours, so no biggie if it goes longer (M-Thur).

I'm free for some weeknight head bashing.

Consider me there ill start a thread when I finish lunch.

I'm game for some late night bashing... I usually get on when you all are leaving and Prospero is the only one left with the F13 tag.

Actually have been playing more engineer and pyro, plus there is one map I had a ton of fun on as a scout, it was the big map with the staircase/boxes with 5 capture points, was great fun getting the other team to chase me down.

Please to be playing this time!

I can usually play after around 9:30 est. on weeknights, but not for 3 hour sessions.

I wanted to apologize to you gents for my abrupt bail out last night. My "super duper high dollar lasts forever" power supply took a major shit, complete with the dirty socks smell.

I was playing like absolute shit anyways, so was probably for the best. I'll be at the next one with bells on though.

You assholes need to record demos next time. I didn't get a chance to make fun of schild this time around :sad_panda:

We'll have HLTV working for the next scrim, I honestly didn't know what it was before!

And I only had 5 minutes to setup the server.

You don't need HLTV to record a demo. Your 4 spectators should've been recording demos while they were watching.

Yea, but then you only get it from the point of view of the person watching, whereas a HLTV allows the viewer to then change around as if they were watching a live match.

Apparently the player-recorded demos also allow you to swing the camera around.  I recorded a few minutes earlier tonight and am going to experiment.

Oh awesome.  Apparently HLTV just captures the entire match and you can go where you want at any point, though I suspect having a first person view of Fraglerock would due to show how we lost the scrim.  :-P

That's only if the server is recording the HLTV/SourceTV demo since it captures all the data packets but yeah that's a better idea.

I don't see how that's possible unless there's a config file setting you need to enable.

Maybe we could watch mkvenner since he carried y'all...and he's suspect damnit! ;)

I think it limits you to viewing players that were close enough to you for your client to get the info about.  Also, it looks weird because it doesn't draw your player model in the right place; your HUD and first-person model follow the camera.  Not as useful as I was hoping.

8PM EST is like the most bullshit time ever.  Esp when the fucking server mods LIVE IN AZ.

What the fuck is wrong with you people I'm not home w/ computer on and beer in hand untill 7pm PST

Seriously, lets schedule around Hoax...I've been wanting to smoke him for like the last few years.  :inluv:

I'm probably just jealous of the grief title though.

And Ookii who doesn't get home until 6:30pm (PST, for at least the next 5 days)

Well, I'll be on tonight, but maybe we can change it for next week to a little later.

So I can properly touch you PST people w/ my shovel.   :pedobear:

8pm, woot. So much nicer than trying to hook up in EQ2 when folks were getting on at 1am EST :|

Ditto.  Hell, I usually don't even think about going home until 7.   I got up a couple hours early this morning so I could cut out early this afternoon. 

If I play like shit tonight I get to blame it on sleep deprivation.

I blame it on HG:L and laundry both if which need to be motherfucked at some point tonight.  But yeah TF2 first if we're doing a pickup and shit.  I may even plug in a mic.
