you are just the WORST PERSON IN HISTORY

It's amazing how often I hear that.

 

[Professor Beef]

Hightower is soooooooo booooooooring. Every time I go to the GAF server, I can guarantee that I'm going to be seeing it.

I saw that on outpost earlier. Crazy.

Argh.. and i just sold my crate #30 D:

 

[vanty]

Finally got Pyromancer (1 million fire damage) tonight. Last pyro achievement, took so goddam long, made even harder when they nerfed flamethrowers ages ago and most of my kills became shotgun/flare or axtinguisher.

No way I'll ever finish off any other class, next closest is 6 left each for sniper, scout and heavy.

If you want to limit mapvoting, change the plugin so that a certain percentage of the server has to type "nominate" or "rtv" or whatever for a map vote to initiate. Otherwise, the server will choose the map (which means Yeef will choose the map, which means we'll always go back to map voting).

Miss two days of posts and have to read damn near 300 posts...

I'd love to jump in for the highlander tournament this time around. At this point we pretty much should field two teams, each with a host of back ups. We can practice slightly earlier in the night before the server fills up. The fact that we have a SourceTV connected to the server means that a ton of people can watch during practices and give feedback. My schedule will most definitely calm down by November. I think this week is my last major midterm hump until December.

How much is a strange kritzkrieg worth? 8 refined?

 

[Iadien]

No one is changing the map votes. If the vote doesn't finish before the map change the server just picks a random map. If people would actaully defend on CTF maps maybe they wouldn't end before the 3 minutes into round that the vote starts...

Thanks for pointing that out, but I know difference. Unless of course the server is changing the map to whatever it wants several minutes after the map vote completed.

I've been seeing 5-8 keys for them. Strange Machina for 15 keys. lol Crate 30 is selling for 3+ keys.

How long did it take you? Took me over 60 hours.

Do people really not realize that these crates are probably going to be just as common as any other and prices are going to tank?

I got 2 keys, 1.33 Ref, Fancy Dress Uniform and Birdcage for mine.

The guy who bought it uncrated a Strange Machina and sold it for 10 keys...

And I'm sure that it is confirmed that they are rare. Some people i know idled with many accounts and got several #31 crates, but only 1 #30 crate at most.

Hey guys... I uploaded my first Steam Workshop item last night.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2107

If you guys like it and could toss me a "rate up" then I would be ecstatic and you'd be my hero. Currently on page 7 of Pyro headgear with the "top rated" sorting. I'd love to be able to move up a bit! Thank you kindly

 

[CornBurrito]

We can't be having admins kicking regulars for no reason. Take n0b's admin away so Kuro will come back.

Just nob kicking kuro until he blacklisted the server.

Really? That's a real douchebaggy thing to do. n0b kicking, not the blacklisting of our beloved server.

There are reasons. But they have nothing to do with the server and you're right I shouldn't have done it, and I'm sorry I did. If Kuro wants to know why he can talk to me, but it doesn't belong on the server or in the thread.

looks good man!

what was your inspiration?

 

[DarkKyo]

looks good man!

what was your inspiration?

Thanks!!!
To be honest, my original inspiration was a victorian woman's hat... actually originally inspired by someone's icon on GAF. Not sure what their icon is from but its a pretty girl with a victorian hat on lol

Originally I was going to keep the form you see here(band around the bowler with high sides) but have a flower/feather on top. Instead I went in a more gender-neutral direction and created a little flame medallion. It's called Victorian Secret because it's not really a guy or girl hat specifically

 

[wartime1020]

There was that night last week when wartime established a tyranny and did manual map changes the whole time, but he kept it varied and occasionally polled people and was also drunk so that hardly counts.

I do it all the time, when I play that is, I don't just change it to maps that I want to play. I ask the rest of the people on the server. Degroot, Pacman, and 2fort are shit, when I am playing I won't sit there and let you guys kill the server, sorry.

 

[Iadien]

I rarely play with you wartime, so I doubt it was you that was changing maps. Also I hate all 3 of those maps you listed, so I wouldn't have stuck around for them. =p

 

[CornBurrito]

Pacman is fun. What is wrong with you two?

 

[wartime1020]

Pacman is fun. What is wrong with you two?

We are sane, sorry.

 

[CornBurrito]

We are sane, sorry.

Just turn on low-grav during Pacman and you'll see.

 

[Drkirby]

Pac man is fun, till it is played for the 10th night in a row. Then the magic starts wearing off.

The low grav made it less fun IMO.

 

[TGMIII]

EU server problems should now, hopefully, be fully resolved. EU/NA gaffers throw some ideas you have at me for maps etc. Poor server is neglected.

I've never seen it played that often. Usually only a few times a week.

 

[Chinner]

are there any halo maps we can play?

 

[Togglesworlh]

Keeping voting in defeats the point of taking voting out.

RTV is the worst goddamn thing ever to be in the game.

Remove every mod's ability to change the map. Especially wartime's, because he's a rager and you can't trust a rager.

 

[Sciz]

Degroot, Pacman, and 2fort are shit, when I am playing I won't sit there and let you guys kill the server, sorry.

There's usually such a long queue that even when people do ragequit over one of those maps coming up, the slots get filled again.

 

[Yeef]

Got a Swagman's Swatter drop last night. According to the description it is the best hat.

 

[wartime1020]

Two points, so is it a good thing these shitty maps are played, so people that have been waiting can get in? We should be fine playing bad maps because if they are played when the server is full, new people will join, and thus it isn't an issue? Secondly, what about at the end of the night? once people are already likely to leave, a shitty map can be the thing that pushes them over the edge and can cause a mass exodus. Why not just play good maps, that people like? What would be so wrong about that?

Some people like those maps. Just because you think they're shitty doesn't mean you are the end-all be-all of opinions. Get over yourself?

 

[divisionbyzorro]

Hightower is the best map.

Degroot is the second best map.

 

[Drkirby]

Degroot is also good in moderation, just whacky melee fun. Always a blast to play a few rounds after some more over powered melee weapons have been added from anther update.

 

[Blizzard]

I was thinking of this but wasn't sure so I didn't say anything. Wartime is one of the few people I notice changing the map, but he DOES usually seem to ask people. People might not answer, but at least he asks.

 

[wartime1020]

Oh believe me, I agree, my opinion is not absolute. I am just basing my view that they are shitty on the effect they have on the server, when they come up toward the end of the night, people usually leave... what conclusion would you draw from this?

Also, how is "get over yourself?" a question?

The conclusion I draw from this is fuck those people. I don't give a shit. If they want to be a bunch of babies because a single map comes up that they don't like, let them. If I changed the map every time a shitty map came up, we wouldn't play half the maps we play, but the fact that ANYONE likes those maps means I don't change them.

Late night GAF, once most people leave, is best time GAF, anyway.

When the server is empty, that is the best time? really? The system is flawed in that the voting doesn't actually bring about maps that people want to play, most of the time it is a sophie's choice situation.

The system is flawed in that voting exists period and people like you have the power to change maps just because they don't like a map.

 

[Borgnine]

Degroot's treachery knows no bounds, can't you see it's tearing us apart. Yeef, seriously just delete the damn thing from the server, no one will even notice. No one actually likes to play it, they just troll vote it so people will get mad.

I don't know mate, early-night GAF (the few people that try to start the server going) is usually amazing because all the rules go out the window. Plus it's an awesome feeling joining at 5/24 and then checking the scoreboard 5 min later to see 23/24.

The problem is that there are some people who like it. I detest it. But, as you say, with map voting, a lot of people actually do troll vote quite frequently. It happens all the time with Degroot and 2fort, despite most people claiming they hate those maps. Once again the solution is to remove voting entirely, because then Degroot will still come up, but a whole hell of a lot less often. The people who like it get to play it and the people who hate it only have to suffer once in a while.

I have been playing with GAF since beta. The best time is late night GAF when all the serious-pants misters leave and only the cool fun people remain.

If you just want the server to always be populated just force Javaman to play 24/7.

 

[Sgt.Pepper]

Why don't we have rotation? Voting is worthless, and most of the nominations ever get chosen anyway. And let's be honest here, most of the time people will vote for the same maps all the time. I'm guilty of this myself.
