So, I wandered around the interwebs to find a compatible server last night. I FINALLY found one. Suddenly, FreshFruit shows up and joins the other team, and then proceeds to stab me in the rectum every time I pause for a nanosecond. NERF SPIES KTHX.
Btw- I didn't realize how good the average player on our server is compared to the pubs. Jesus.

LMAO! I think FF killed me 5 times for every death I suffered from the other team, so he screwed me statswise.

And if you become good at sniping, he'll show you how good he is at assfucking you non-stop.
It's actually pretty annoying.

So does anyone play our wonderful server anymore? It looks like we have all moved on to newer games.

No lie.

I'd love to revisit it, but until we get some new maps, I'm pretty burned out playing the same 3 over and over again.
That, and there are so many single player games on the list to play.

Playing the fuck out of TF2, HG:L being a broken piece of shit has helped. I'm mostly on Medick's Madhouse (bay area), good server, all chat (lulz) & high level of competition = 4tw. The f13 server is often empty but I've gotten some games in it at random times.
There really haven't been any good 3rd party maps to shake out. Castle is considered one of the best and many people hate it, myself included.
Add to that how much 2fort & hydro suck and basically all I play is dustbowl & gravel pit, throwing in one of the 5caps (granary is so much better damn it) for color.
I do hope they add more maps or FSS sucks less sometime soon.

I still play alot but the F13 server is always empty now and the last couple of times I tried to join it, it was giving me connection errors and just timing out on me. Wasn't even sure if it was still working.

TF2 is floating back up to the top of the list. It still has to fight HL2Ep2, but that won't last.

I told you we'd all be doing other things by now.
No one listened!!
But ya, I basically built my new computer and forgot to put the F13 stuff on my list. But everytime I check my friend's list, everyone is scattered :(
IMO, d/c the Ivory Tower, keep Custom Maps but put Dustbowl on there, put UT3 on the box when it comes out.

I check the f13 server first every time I load up TF2, but like many it is always empty. I haven't had my fill of TF2 yet so I will continue to check.

I was mostly only logging on to play our organized stuff, and playing SP stuff in between.

I join the server whenever someone's on and it's not a custom map. Guitar Hero has been eating a fair amount of my gaming time but I still squeeze in a few TF2 rounds whenever I can.

Someone made a CTF map that pwns 2fort, its called something v3 I think. But yeah finally a good map that deserves a piece of the rotation. Castle is debatable, I'm still not a fan but as people learn the map it becomes a little less boring and a little more annoying.

I say we make a point to get together and frag each other over the holiday weekend, just as our forefathers did with the aboriginals back in the day.

Everybody I game with who didn't join a TF2 clan has pretty much quit playing the game for more than 1-2 hours a week. Like one of my friends - he's got 28 hours as heavy, 14 hours as engineer - 3.7 hours played in the last 2 weeks. I'd suggest you guys round up some people and join one of the once a week leagues. It's pretty fun so long as you stick to 7vs7 or 8vs8. 6vs6 attracts too many CS wannabe-pro-gamers. Here's a few: http://tf2.tfleague.com/http://www.teamwarfare.com/http://www.ironglove.com/http://www.sta-league.org/TFLeague plays on Thursday nights. TWL is the 'defender picks the time' as it is now. I've been playing Sunday nights there. IGL is Sunday nights, and STA is on Tuesday. There are even a few places that are going to do "Highlander" leagues. Highlander is 9 vs 9, where you have one of every class. It's quite fun.

So the game would be a fifty year long simulation of how disease wipes out native Americans?

I killed the server for now, GoDaddy made upgrades and we were on old hardware (yea, they made updates like a week after we got it) + people weren't playing. :(

So all of those donations were for what, exactly? A gay trip to the Bahamas? or a new collection of games?
Not that I donated or anything.

It's either going to go to the main f13 server or we'll the second one if people actually show enough interest to need one.
The first 2 months of that second server came out of pocket.
Though I shouldn't have to justify a single, goddamn thing to you.

Nope, you don't need to say anything about it to me, because I didn't (or wouldn't) give money. The people who did donate money probably would want to know though. Me, I just wanted the chance to shoot or BONE SAW people from here. I killed the server for now, GoDaddy made upgrades and we were on old hardware (yea, they made updates like a week after we got it) + people weren't playing. :(
You working at GoDaddy probably should've gotten a cheaper hosting price, or something. At the very least they should've given you the upgrade, if you couldn't just go and do it for the server yourself. So all of those donations were for what, exactly?

Hookers and blow. This I can believe.

At the very least they should've given you the upgrade, if you couldn't just go and do it for the server yourself. You are talking out of your ass. There are 4 other godaddy employees who post on this board including the one who I purchased the server through (to get commission to put back into the second server). I used the maximum coupon price available. No, this isn't the land of milk and honey where dedicated servers grow on trees. But it's readily apparent that you have exactly zero idea of how a hosting company works, particularly one of the (if not the) biggest hosting company in the world. To give you an idea, when I'm not on the clock, I'm treated like any regular customer. It's customer service roulette to get good help and it's even more obnoxious since I can't walk up to the people that actually do the hosting shit. But please, postulate more, and just assume I didn't take advantage of every single possibility I could with the servers. That'll make you seem really, really cool.

For myself, I donated a little. Played horribly and not often or long. Enjoyed myself hugely and do not regret the donation. If it is not used for TF2 I am willing to bet it will find another use. I am more than willing to encourage our little community to explore other outlets and media.

I started with nothing, and I still have most of it
I'm not a complete idiot... Some parts are still on backorder.

Oh god how could I forget hookers and blow. [/quote] The blow made you forget all the fun you were having? Best Disco Polka Party... ever. Actually, by the time I picked up The Orange Box, you guys were all getting high on Hellgate. Now I play on the Christian CS server. Players are so polite there!
