Can Artist join as a spectator and sing us songs?
Also, we gotta decide on the ruleset. What weapons are banned, just the Christmas update?
Pomson thoughts from Star (same guy that had the Spy-cicle vid, probably the best TF2 youtuber right now in terms of channel content): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=db9-C9v3shE
My thoughts: When it comes to decreasing Medic's ubers... Not many people have gotten the Pomson, and the only times when I've played against it while as Medic have been while I was using the QuickFix anyway, so I dunno if I want it banned or changed or not. I personally like it how it is, but for the same reason why I didn't mind the original Sandman; I want the game to move away from being so god damn dependent on ubers. Let them be the most powerful thing still, but not the be all end all can't be sure to win without them that they're currently considered. Especially with the way map design is going on these days, there are becoming many more and more ways to pick apart a tight turtle defense other than rushing in with a Demoman ubered to obliterate everything while Soldiers spam artillery fire from the rear. Another reason why I cried after the Battalion's Backup nerf.
As for decreasing Spy cloak, it gives Engineers something other than the Southern Hospitality to help against Spies, and when it comes to spamming it and catching a Spy I see it the same as spamming shotgun shots, or as Soldier spamming rockets around the area, or as Pyro spamming flames and flares. But I have to admit that I might be a little bit biased.
Finally, I like it as it's a soft way to pressure Snipers, like the Flaregun is, and doesn't require me to use the Wrangler. One change I wouldn't mind seeing it get is the ability to be airblast reflected.

Well guess i have some bad luck
I'd say just the newest weapons should be banned (pyro and engineer space sets and xmas weapons), just because not everyone has them yet. Other than that, it's all fair game. I also call no random crits.
As far as maps, I was going to do a pole. I'll only be able to play one or two maps since we're doing a monopod at 9:30. I was thinking Steel, Gorge, Badwater, Upward or any of the other popular-with-everyone maps. I wouldn't mind doing Foundry as well though. I think it's a pretty good map and people that normally hate 5cp seem to like it too.
Also, would you guys prefer doing stopwatch mode or would you just want to stick to regular games. For those that don't know, basically in stopwatch mode the first team to attack sets the target time. For example, if they capture A in 3 minutes then the target for A will be 3 minutes. When teams switch, the new attackers will have to cap 8 in 3 minutes or faster or they'll lose instantly.
You can just watch on SourceTV while we play! I'll upload the demos afterward too, of course.

Agreed on no random crits.
Gorge and Badwater - Definitely. Though the other maps you mentioned I have no problem with either. Foundry would be interesting since it's still mostly new to everyone.
Nay to stopwatch mode, though I could be persuaded.

Am sad I missed the sign-up conversation.
Every match needs a token black guy on the mic.

I agree with the weapon bans, since I'm not playing Pyro and would have to give up using the Manmelter.
As for maps, my top votes would be Upward (stopwatch) and Foundry. If we wanted to do a third for tiebreak, I'd give in and say Hightower.

This sounds like the most interesting time to reveal that I'm black.Am sad I missed the sign-up conversation.

<3 you guys.
Looking forward to seeing the replays, assuming I can't spectate.

I'm not into organized games much, so if I did get in, I was just going to goof off, which is what I do pretty much every night in GAF these days anyways!
I will, just for you!

Team 2 is going to win. > I was going to sign up for soldier or demo, but I wasn't sure if I'd be able to play at that time.

So how soon are we going to actually know what day the game happens?

If I can get a mic to work on my laptop, I might just buy one for this event (then never use it again).
So it's 6pm Western time and 8pm Eastern time right?
I'm pretty sure it's 5 western.
Wow, that means I have absolutely no time to sleep. I've been up for around 43 hours now, and my eyelids weigh a ton. My parents come home a bit late, so no one can wake me up :/
Guess I'll have to stay strong ;_;

I may have missed the answer, but will the rest of us be able to spectate the match?
SourceTV should work, and Yeef suggested it last page I believe.
My vote for the maps is Upward and that new one that just came out.

We can try stopwatch on the last map. That way we at least know what our teams may/may not be capable of.
Nope. I've been super busy these past two days. I had to work on the Weekend, so that sucked :/
I vote for stopwatch mode.
Go to sleep and ask for an alternate. It's not worth your health!
I agree.
Also, note, stopwatch is ONLY for maps with a defending team. So it doesn't do anything on 5cp maps or PLR maps, for example.
TF2 is no fun when you're tired, especially for a faster paced class. I get irritated over little things and play very poorly. Treat yourself to some sleep and you'll feel much better.
If only I followed my own advice. Life is too much fun for me to waste time sleeping!
I can handle it. I've gone weeks with single digit hours of sleep.
Anyways, this is something I really want to try too. I've always wanted to play Highlander, but when I do it with random people, all I used to get out of them was cuss words and rude comments.

Oh I know, but this is the last time I do this (stay up more than 24 hours). Since I've been off since last week from work, just messing around. Next week though, back to my normal schedule.

Team 2 has Professor Beef and BY2K, which are both free in UMVC3. Beef is even more free in SSFIV AE.
Team 2 definitely going down.
