Hey guys, any thoughts on running a 6v6 tourney with gaffers just for fun and shits and giggles?
I have no idea how teams could be formed or even possibly be remotely balanced (i blame wartime), but, it might be fun?
All the other OT threads have competitions and tourneys and stuff. Why don't we?

thanks!
edit: urgh, I still can't figure this out. So if I want to make an alt account, do I need to get my main to gift a 50 cent steam game or mann co item? I'm looking at the steam store and dont see any 50 cent items, and there also isn't any 50 cent items in the mann co store that you can trade.
Then I think I'm supposed to buy 2 keys to make it a premium account, as $5 is the minimum to put in the steam wallet
Add $5 to the wallet of your alt account. use 50 cents to buy a rocket jumper. keep the remaining $4.50 and the next time you want a steam game, use that alt account to gift a game to your main account (paying the difference if necessary.)vehn said:
To upgrade a f2p account to premium, that account needs to be the one doing the in-game purchase.
Holy fuck, whenever I play with you guys, I feel like I am the WORST Team Fortress 2 player in the history of life. I can't play my main because you all seem to see right through disguises and are totally spy-proof, and when I try to play Pyro, I constantly am out Pyro'd.
Maybe I should just stick to Valve servers forever =\

Damn, my framerate plummeted tonight. Harvest and Viaduct were slideshows where one second I'm fine and then the next, Heavy or minisentry has killed me. (oh wait that's the regular game because people playing tf2 have no skill and rely on those classes)

That's because GAF server has communication, not matter what Kuro might say, unlike Valve server or many other pubs. If you are going to play Spy in Janky-Ass, stick with Dead Ringer/Timewatch, don't bother with YER and change your disguises to less conventional (Heavy, Soldier).JackEtc said:
Also, don't go through ways that always have a lot of people.

My framerate was janky on some maps tonight too. particularly Doublecross. It's odd because it'd be fine when i was spectating people in deadcam, but then when i was alive it'd just go to sthit.
Also, hit detection was REALLY bad tonight. Tons of time I'd shoot someone and it wouldn't register for like a half second. It was most noticeable on badwater. Curiously enough, the server crashed right after badwater, so I'm guessing it's a server-side issue.

Wartime wouldn't have it easy if artistdude and boonoo were scouts. Pub stomping isn't a measure of skill.yeoz said:
That said, you'd need to on comp mode on or people will join and shit on everything.
And stop jumping as scout! :/

What would I play? I'm a terribad Soldier and Demo, fucking flat awful Scout and playing Medic everyone is on my ass.yeoz said:
Comp is not for me. D=
I find highlander much more interesting than 6v6, personally. So many times I've been tempted to enable it, but limiting I'd feel bad limiting the server to 18.
As a tangent to that, I've been thinking about setting up the SourceTV bot on the server. That way, even when the server is full people could watch the game and/or download full-match demos. I'm not sure if our current host even supports SourceTV, but I'm curious to see how many people would be interested in that.

This would be awesome but yeah, no idea how we'd form teams and how a tourney would be set up.yeoz said:
I mean, getting 12 players would be super easy, 24 a piece of cake, but anything above that and you'd have organization problems (and that's not even taking into consideration substitutes if a team doesn't have all its members ready in time).
Pancakes
hot, steaming, as melted butter slips into the cracks, drizzled with sticky sweet syrup OH GOD
That's what I feel like most of the time on the gaf server. I rarely get backstabbed, it's just annoying to run into those turds every 5 seconds.Pancakes said:
So I was given an "Original" rocket launcher today.
I am pretty damn impressed!
though that and the liberty launcher and the reserve shooter all sound terrible in TF2, the shift to the middle makes..all the diff-erence in the woorld.
Yeef, Source TV sounds like it could be fun
though if the server is somewhat janky as it is...

The new steam trade beta makes idling in text mode so much easier. Now i dont have to delete the launch options if i want to trade items for my idle account to my main account.
(Text idling isnt working with the shortcut method, if i use sandbox. Got a Blackbox, Solemn Vow and a market garedener in my idling account.)
I'm pondering to create a second idling account because of the incident yesterday...
Do you know if some GAFers have giftable copies of TF2? I'm getting 2 keys tomorrow from my brother, because he got Portal and HB3 from me. So i would pay 1 key for each Giftable copy of TF2...

Giftable copies of tf2 are probably rare. Anyone who has them would probably just use it themselves to get an idlerBakphoon said:The new steam trade beta makes idling in text mode so much easier.

Didn't use an external idling program... Different.moojito said:
The server isn't full for like 16 hours of each day. If we run a tournament and can't lock down the server during those times, we could always use TF2lobby to find some other server and just stay on it all night.
If my playtime wasn't so inconsistent I would love to join in. I've been getting more of a preference for Highlander over 6v6 as well.

I'm guessing the new beta trading system. I don't think there is a trading limit unlike 8.
Zomba13 said:
Yep, steam trade works this way... did a comparable thing earlier today (but MUCH less items)
Edit: Is Bills for 2 giftable TF2 copies a good trade? (I give the bills)
Edit2: the trade would be done in steam trade beta. Also i will have to contact the trader first, so i dont have to hurry
Well a giftable copy is presumably worth $5 since that's the minimum wallet amount it takes to make the free version go premium.Bakphoon said:Yep, steam trade works this way... did a comparable thing earlier today (but MUCH less items)

Bill's Hat is worth $8-10 according to this Steam thread: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2048353
So I guess it'd be about even, but I'd honestly keep the hat since I think it looks cooler. Whatever floats your boat. Someone else correct me on the value if I'm wrong, please.
