I just always click Red at the start of the map now. Since most of the stackers go blue, this tends to work out well as far as me not feeling dirty for steamrolling a bunch of newbs. And it means I get to hear Fruit and Schild cry about these damn pyros incinerating their motherfucking. :-D

I really didn't notice anything I'd consider cheating except perhaps phil being a cockmunch and torching a sentry through a wall. :-D
Heh, it's not cheating if I'm exploiting a legitimate game mechanic. And I suck so hard at pretty much every other class that I think I deserve a little bit of win every now and then. |

I seem to be the first to join maps, so I just random and let the cards fall where they may. It does heighten my enjoyment when I get angry messages from schild; it makes being a spy all worth it.

I always hit random unless I am late joining a game and one team is shorthanded. I take my beatings like a man and bitch about my team on chat, like a REAL gamer.

lol It must get old when I'm in the losing team , always hearing the same shit from me on voice... "I guess I'll have to run medic again since NOONE ELSE WILL" "Hey engis, for the 15th fuckin time....PUT UP A TELEPORTER" "Do we REALLY need 3 snipers (on Well)?" |

I take my beatings for awhile, but after about fifteen minutes of asshattery I generally switch teams and beat their heads in with a fire axe. I'm happy to lose because the other team was awesome. I'm less tolerant of losing because three of my teammates think it is fun to play bat tag in the spawn room for the entire round.

Is it a bag full of cocks or is it a bag made from cock?

Those aren't mutually exclusive.
Also, if people are playing bat tag in spawn while you're losing, or AFK, or whatever, and an admin is on, say something. That's why kicking was invented.

"Hey engis, for the 15th fuckin time....PUT UP A TELEPORTER"
Bad engineers almost annoy me more than bad spies. Both equally goddamn useless. Really awful players seem to pick those two by default. "WHY DID YOU PUT A TELEPORTER UP THERE?" "So I could get to my turret faster!" /fail "Move your stupid turret, we already have that cap point." "Ohh awesome, no dispenser." |

Nothing I hate more than trying to defend a point as a heavy and running out of ammo. While there are three engineers running around NOT building dispensers behind me.

Being accused of cheating is slightly annoying.
Newb snipers on my team drawing attention to my spot is infinitely more annoying....FFS, snipe from somewhere else.
Also, I seem to be able to get the in-game steam UI to work. At all. Any ideas, or is my PC somehow too gimp to just do it?

That's why it soldier/medic combos are so godly during sudden death. It's amazing how fast a turret farm will go down when there aren't any "real" combatants around to protect it.

Sudden Death is stupid. Or more specifically the CP and CTF scoring systems are broken. Dumbest change Valve made to the game. Also the new patch nerfs Engineers in Sudden Death -- their buildings explode when they die now. |

Also the new patch nerfs Engineers in Sudden Death -- their buildings explode when they die now. Why are the scoring systems broken? Points in games don't mean shit if you don't win. It's merely a record of your kills, captured points, and buildings destroyed. And yea, of course the new patch nerfs engineers. Not like a turret without an engineer is much of a threat anyway... |

In a CTF game if you have 2 caps to their 0 caps you should win the game when time expires. But you don't. Cause Valve are a bunch of fucking retards. In a CP game where both sides can cap points if you hold the most points for the longest you should win. That's how QWTF/TFC/BF2 and tons of other CP games work. Ties are fucking bullshit in those sorts of game types. |

Winners win before the clock runs down. |

How is capping the flag more than the opposing team a tie? That makes absolutely no sense at all except in Valve's bizarro world. I can sort of understand the brain-damaged CP system since they are trying to dumb down the game as much as possible and apparently the standard CP scoring system is just too much for their target audience to handle.

I'm sure, somewhere, in their lack of documentation, you can turn off sudden death. But even then, the goal is 3. Or 2 or whatever you set it to. My opinion? We should set 2Fort to one cap to win on Ivory Tower. Goddamn that would make it frantic fun. Problem with anything more than one is after one team gets it once, one or both teams go straight into Turtle Mode. Also, why do you think Valve is insulting you? I think their target audience is people who want to have fun, not people that give a shit about scoring systems. |

I think setting it to 2 in 2fort and Mach2 would be better than 3. Nothing more depressing than a long 2fort match, where you finally get the 3rd cap, and the map rotates. To 2fort.
Seems to bring out the worst turtling instincts.

I really think we need to revisit the map rotation. Granary, Well, and 2fort in a row is pretty brutal. It's an hour and a half before you get back to the style of gameplay IMO most prefer.
Granary
Dustbowl
2Fort
Gravelpit
Well
Dustbowl
As is, it's a sad moment when you finish dustbowl and you know you're not going to get back to it or gravelpit before you have to go to bed.
Btw, is dannyBstyle someone you know, schild?
