Last night was embarrassing. I was basically batting practice for Doytch's bat, and a pincushion for Pillowknight's needles :lol
We need to create a TF2 Defense Force! Too many people are off playing COD4 and other games. Unacceptable

Bitches love smiley faces
I'm surprised I even stuck around for as long as I did last night.
Well hopefully now that there's a notice on the steam page, the pop-up will bug people into booting it up.

Haha yeah, pretty much. But not as bad as the few rounds where I tried soldier and scout. I kept forgetting to reload 4 rockets

I think that's because everyone was pretty much just going after you. I know I was, you were like the lifeblood of your team, once we shut you down we were fine.

The bat is fun. You always get a clip of dialogue when you kill someone with it.
Don't worry though, I beat Javaman's skull in a couple of times too, I'm an equal-opportunity batter.I was kicking quite some ass a few days ago on the NeoGAF server as an Engineer. I tried to get some footage.. but it doesn't go well on youtube.

Just finished playing on the GAF server. God Warpath. Does it always take that long?
Went medic on that map and actually did pretty decent score-wise. I have no idea if I was actually a good medic, though. I almost never play medic because I think I suck.
So if anyone was there, how'd I do? I was Twig!

Yeah, Doytch had an uncanny ability to follow me into the darker, scarier recesses of Well where I was trying to build up a tele exit. Between the cap points shifting and Doytch batting 100 I don't believe I got a single useful tele up the whole round.
THURSDAY GET! Do I need to sign up somewhere to make it official or something? (The event description says "check the chatroom," but no one is ever in chat. :/ )
Melee-only sudden deaths FTW. Less bouts of "Who's going to be stupid enough to go after the camping engies first?"

Was no one there with me? D: Or maybe no one remembers. Oh well!TheOneGuy said:
Haha I got a pyro with the bottle once thanks to the help of a medic. But that's about it. I don't use the bottle much! I use the bat all the time, though.Hitokage said:I've killed somebody with the bat, shovel, axe, fists, wrench, bone saw, knife... but I don't think I've killed anyone with the bottle or the machete in a match.
Melee attacks are underrated.
Its not so much an exploit as an admin teleporting his team below the map.
I've done and several people have had the end of my teleporting extravaganza. Ask Hito and Java man about being above the map.
Or when I teleported Hito in the sky just to fall to his death.
Or when I teleported Hito into the enemy spawn
or when I.. <insert action here> Hito into <insert location here>

Rlan, was that on the server Icy operates?
An explanation/demonstration for the exploit can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeyviYcNTZk&feature=related (hopefully anyone that does that on Icy's servers would get banned.)

Yeah Rlan's video was on GAF server. I saw my little turtle icon on the screen
EDIT: Never mind, missed the above like to the video. I knew this was an exploit since it was occurring on 360, too.
ICY: If you're gonna be banning cheaters, I don't know if Pillowknight ever told you about incompleteunit. I entered a game that was lagging terribly. Asked if anyone else was lagging, and the entire team jumped in to say somebody was using a speed hack. 30 seconds later, Pillowknight said he saw his teammate incompleteunit using the hack to warp around and was asking for admins to kick him. So he should be added to the banned list (along with the dude above... assuming he was on GAF.)

Well im not really sure how speedhacks work. But, I did see the guy zipping around multiple times, as in he was in one spot and all of the sudden he was 10 paces ahead.1-D_FTW said:

Does using Vent have any advantage over in-game chat for TF2? I'm happy with pressing v to talk even though I'm usually the only one talking :lol

Why not until the next patch?
Tuesday night GAF server got full later at night (around 10pm CST)

Oh, I don't know hwy I didn't think of this, but a spy could get past it too. or some rocket/nade jumping... but anyway, that exploit is annoying and can ruin the game, especially if blu does it and they get all their engineers set up so they have sentries covering both spawn exits.

Until Valve fixes the exploit, let's just knock off Gravelpit off the rotation of servers.
omgimaninja said:
Cause of what firex is saying. I suppose I could just jump out of any match that involved Gravel Pit (But that's my favorite map.) I've just developed zero tolerance for these types of things.
This obviously excludes GAF night as this is mostly/only gaf members. But I'm sure that exploit is gonna be in nearly every game now and the gaf server is populated by a lot of anonymous guys.
omgimaninja said:
Better idea still. As much as I love Gravel Pit, it's gonna be everywhere until fixed.

I'm off to dinner then will be on all night after that. I expect 24 others there too!!

I just logged on and tf2 is updating. Maybe they're fixing gravelpit?

Server needs update stat. Gravel pit hasnt been fixed yet...
But there were a lot of things updated :
Source Engine
* Fixed a bug in networking that would cause long stalls (up to 10 seconds) when a split packets weren't be reassembled properly, which forced a full update to the client(s)
* General optimization to tracelines
* Fix for broken .dem file playback
* Added backward compatibility code to allow demos recorded with protocol 12 to continue to be playable under protocol version 13
* When showing "WARNING: Connection Problem", now indicate the number of seconds remaining before an auto-disconnect will occur
* Fixed a bug that would cause NULLNAME to be shown as the player's name in the scoreboard for a short time
Team Fortress 2
* Fixed exploit where spectators could spawn into the world without actually joining a team
Hydro map changes
* Fixed an exploit that would allow players to jump out of the map
Granary map changes
* Cover changes to the first capture points of both teams. Reduces some of the sight lines for defenders, and should make the area easier to capture
* Teams that are holding more points will receive a greater spawn time bonus (spawn timer reduced for the winning team). This should help attacking teams build momentum
* Minor visual tweaks to the BLU side between capture points 2 and 3
* Clipped off a super high (demo pipe jump) perch in the middle area
* Increased base round timer to 10 minutes
* Added windows overlooking the final cap from the capture point 2 building (via new room next to conveyor route)
* Minor changes to lighting in the middle area
* Moved the middle spawn points farther forward (saves 6-7 seconds off a Heavy's run from this spawn to enemy capture point 2)
* Reduced spawn advantage/penalty to a total of -/+ 6 seconds when on the final cap (from 10 seconds)
* Fixed material alignment and model interpenetration issues in home spawn rocket rooms
SourceTV
* Increased default bandwidth rate from 5 to 8 KB/sec for spectator clients
* Increased SourceTV demo buffer size for table class descriptions from 64 to 96KB. Team Fortress 2 was running over this
* Performance improvement for copying unreliable data buffers to SourceTV clients
* Updated the list of events in TF2 tagged for the director to play
