Just so you know, I have the best avatars ever.
Just finished playing with a bunch of randoms. It was a blast, but I'd really like people who talk: littlemaths is my Gamertag. Looking forward to playing with some GAFfers!

GAF TF2 Game - Thursday 10/25 - 7:30PT/10:30ET

I can host if need be, but my connection is a little problematic at times. If anyone wants to volunteer a good connection for hosting purposes, that would be great. Also, whoever hosts needs some free space on their friends list because I think you need to have everyone on it to run a more or less private game.

Players:
Cornballer
MasterFox187
Decamus
thechapel
WWGray4
halfemptyfilms
joeposh
A 12IN
Zen Warrior24
Mojo Zomg
Cerrius
Akujin Alastor
Voltron64
Hammer0982
II Quagm1re II

I'd like to be in on this too. If you need a player toss me an invite on Thursday. I suck at this game though. I need more practice i guess.

You can pick the game up pretty fast. Find a class you like and play with it for a few games. You'll pick it up pretty fast.

Agree. You might want to start as a demoman or a medic. Demoman is great for people who are bad at aiming. Spam the field with spikes and you can watch the hilarity insue. Medics are a great and require the least skill. Max out your uber and when the time is right, release your ubercharge.

Of course, a skilled medic is a godsend. I had a match last nite where my team was barely hanging on. Then I came in as a medic and the tide changed. Healed my party members, ubered, and forced the other team back to their first point. They even tried getting me with a spy, but the spy couldn't backstab me since I was constantly jumping around the screen while ubbering(a great counter for lighter classes). The medics needle gun is also surprisingly powerful. It can take out nearly every class except the heavy with just one clip.

I agree that it doesn't take much to learn, just have to play around and have fun. See what other players do as well. One thing I recently learned about the demoman was that when you used the proximity spike grenades that secondary fire explodes them. It totally changes the way to play demoman if you didn't know about it before. I use that as my main weapon just because you can so easily explode it in peoples face!

I have played a medic some, but I don't feel I have mastered it yet. Like you said, you can take down almost anyone with the medics needle gun, I haven't figured out the range on it, but I have been on the receiving end of it a few times and know how fast it kills.

I really like playing engineer, and now spy (two opposing classes really as you find out playing one or the other). I really hate spies, but when I am one, it is fun to exact the same punishment I got dealt so many times. I hate the bug on 2fort where spys dont get sappers, really odd and needs to be fixed.

I am willing to host for tomorrows game, but I can't guarantee a 16 man or even 12 man game going flawlessly because I havent hosted enough times, it really depends on who is playing. I have noticed that one person can bring down a whole game to its knees with lag, and not to say its really that persons fault, just it happens. So I think out of the available hosts we should test to see which is the most reliable. Should be fun, cant wait! My brother is making time to play even though his GF has the day off haha.

If there is still room, count me in for Thursday. I'm comfortable playing most any class, tho I'm not the best sniper. I just reluctantly cleared a bunch of room on my friends list... hope to see you all tomorrow!

I was under the impression the spikers don't explode UNLESS you detonate them... so how did you use it before? I've had many a time where a scout or spy was trampling over my spikes while I had the primary weapon out (bad habit).

Of course, there is the chance I'm very, very wrong. =D

I like to line the inner sides of doorways and try to goad them through.

I can play any class, with the exception of the Scout and Pyro. I don't mix very well with either of those classes.

Edit: For people adding individuals who are playing in the Thursday game, my gamertag is different than my GAF username. My gamertag is Decamus.

Yep, left trigger. Worth noting is that left trigger is the only secondary fire that the demoman has, so lay down some proximity mines, switch to your other weapon if need be, and as you shoot a few dozen regular grenades at the bastards, chase them into a corner filled with proximity mines and... BOOM.

Yeah left trigger. I was under the impression that if an enemy went over the spike grenades you put down that they would explode, with the exception of spies because they are either invis or in disguise.

Spies can go invisible and heavy weapons guy can spin up his gun without firing.

They're the only one's I know other than the scope for the sniper. :lol

Arrrrgg it crashed :(

Is there any way to make a continuously running server? I tried just turning it on and sitting in the room as a spectator, but eventually the game's going to end and require human input, right?

Shit, I wish there could have been dedicated server support like there is in R6 Vegas :(

Good playing with you tonight robut. I didn't have my mic in because my roommate was in here and we were both watching baseball on and off and he was studying. But it was good playing with you. We dominated.

Cant wait till tomorrow to play with some gaffers. Had a match today where my team wasn't being very coordinated. So I start telling them what to do, since they obviously had no idea how to play the game. Then, when the match was over, some ass on my team starts dissing me out and said that he left a negative feedback :lol. WTF? Then the little bastard makes some racial slur based on my gt about eating rice. i was going to ignore it, but it was too easy and told him I was too busy eating something else. :lol ahh, can't wait till tomorrow....

Oh, and his gt is F3C3S. I've played him before and he's really good. But he seems to not know that TF2 is about working as a team. Avoid this douche at all cost and give him a negative feedback if you see him ;)

If the offers' still up, I at least know a person who has a good connection. I've been playing literally lagless 12-14 player games with him hosting.. it's amazing how smooth it is. He's not a GAFfer however, and I have no idea if he'll even be on on Thursday. I'll have to get in touch with him.

EDIT: Add me to the Thursday list. GT again is II Quagm1re II

So are we still on for tonight? And are there going to be any self-imposed class restrictions? We're all friends, I'm sure we could work it out without killing each other

Just a reminder - it's on like Donkey Kong tonight. There's a slight chance I won't be able to make it, but hopefully I can. Judging from the list below, there should be plenty of people in any case. We have 16 at the moment, and undoubtedly there will be a few late additions. If you want on the list, just post something on this thread.

Hosting
These are the people that said something about maybe being able to host. Perhaps Masta_Killah (GT: Zen Warrior24) or chapel (GT: thechapel) should be the first options. We can try something else if they don't work out.

Ah finally! I'm definitely in. I'll try to host with my 4Mb line, but TF2 doesn't seem to like me(no problem with other games). Tried hosting a 16 player room and it seems to lag for people in the East Coast. I'll give it a shot and test it out today though.

Question: is there any way to run a private game other than just designating all of the slots to be private? The main problem with this is that the host has to invite everyone, and therefore they have to be on his friends list. With 16 people, it can be a hassle. Not sure if we should leave some spots public and just boot non-GAF people that happen to wander in. If there's a convenient workaround or if you have any ideas, let me know.

Class Restrictions
There's been a request that we do it, but I don't think there's an automatic way to do it. I think for now we should just play with whatever people want to play with and hope that no one exploits by sending 8 spies during one round or anything like that. Maybe that would be amusing, I dunno. ;) Let's give it a shot this way, and we can make adjustments in the future if we have to.

Not yet, but hopefully it'll hit rather soon. ><

Oddly enough I just got finished playing a series of matches with a group of Chinese people, and the connection was perfect... I'm all the way out on the west coast as well.

Its hit or miss with lag. I usually lag when playing against east coasters on a 8v8 map, but if it was anything less, I get much better results. I have no problems with west coast players for the most part.

Also, I won't be able to host a match tonite. :( I have something to do later and will only be on for 1-1 1/2 hours for the gaf match. I will enjoy playing with some of you people though.

Not Wario
I don't want to try and host anything on account of the fact that I'm on a college connection with NAT set to medium and crap. I played in one of Besada's games before and it ran perfectly, though, so I guess I'd recommend him.

I sent him a message on LIVE. I'll post when he responds. If nothing else, the only thing I suggest is we just give it to whoever said they could host up to 12 people and pray to the Xbox LIVE Gods that we get a good connection. If nothing else, we can always sacrifice a virgin goat.

just added everyone on corn's list to my friends; so, if you see an Akujin Alastor friend request know it's from me.

Looking forward to tonight guys, I'd offer to host but I can't go past 12 players.

Sounds like there is a ton of interest... if anyone can't get into the main game there's no reason why there couldn't be a second game, is there?

Good news!

I guess the only concern now is getting everyone into the game. Not sure if I'm screwing this up, but this is what I posted before:

I dont think they have to be on your friends list to get into a private match. You'll just have to type their names in to send invites. Tedious, but if you have a laptop or pc near you connected to the net, it isn't that bad.

And 15 minutes till Im off work. CANT FUCKING WAIT!!!!

Oh and for gaffers who can't get in, post on here as I'll have my laptop by me. We can see if other gaffers can host and will relay the message on Live and through this thread.

And comcast subscribers, just to give you a heads up, your service provider has started blocking p2p connections for torrents. Don't know if it'll affect your Live connection, but some people are reporting problems since Live uses p2p.

So I'll be on at 10pm est warming up.

I'll be playing till 11, as I have to call my sister and help her set up her computer. So either I'll duck out till 1130 or play without a mic, which I can do pretty well.
