How did the server stats know I was from Norway :O
Also how does the priority work? If you play tonight you are more likely in the future to get in again? Won't that just make it impossible for new people to get in? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Like first night at fight club style?
This is on the assumption that a 2 priority gives a better chance than a 3, but I don't know that.

This is the opposite of true.
The script that picks teams works like this:
Starting at Priority 3 it goes through and picks people, at random, based on their first choice. Then it goes through again and fills any remaining spots with second choice picks. And so on until it gets to 9th choice. Then it picks 4 alternates at random working it's way down based on how many classes were picked (so someone who is willing to play all classes is more likely to be selected as an alternate than someone who will only play 2). Then, if it still doesn't have enough players, it jumps down to the next priority and does it all again.

Damn, that is pretty legit. Have fun guys.
All the regulars signed up.
I should've signed up
I didn't!
Pretty janky.
Hilariously, it was working better for me on Euro servers than on one in the States.

sgt pepper lets his team down by being afk, then comes back and is 2nd on his team on the 2nd round
NOBODY CAN CAPTURE ANYTHING ON GORGE!

You forgot RUSH. Everyone likes RUSH. Also, Pam Anderson is ugly.

No, I certainly thought of Rush before purposely omitting them.
Then your opinion is invalid.

SourceTV was lagging a bit connection wise. Ping shot up at times and stuttering happens. No affect on 4.0 server right?
seriously, everywhere I looked it was snacks coming straight at me.
Sorry for being such a terrible medic guys, but I kinda learned a thing or two at the end.
Why I play too much engy on hightower and harvest? Yeah, Scouts wreck me too.
Edit: It's more on the Scout than it is on you. Eventually, if you yell Scout enough your team gets annoyed enough to help.

as it turns out tuesday might be one of the worse days of the week for me
I hate high ping heavies. Red Dog Salta and Alien should be banned. There's nothing like peaking around a corner for a 10th of a second, backing off but still getting killed 5 seconds later.
Also, snacks is a jerk.
Here are there demo files:
Harvest (Waiting to play)
Gorge
Barn Blitz
Foundry

Snacks is a fucking beast with that scattergun. I know he annoys the shit out of me on Hightower when he goes Scout, but please Snacks, keep on soldiering it up. Hahaha.

also playing a payload map for highlander, especially a spam heavy map like barnblitz, has to be the worst thing ever
all scouts can do at the beginning and maybe the middle is go for teleporters or try super hard for a medic pick, and then they can't really do anything major

I'm not saying every time I died it was the servers fault. I fucked up a good amount times.
But those clutch stabs, especially on the Heavy, just weren't going through even though I had the angle. In hindsight I should've went Dead Ringer to deal with all the laggy stabs.
Worst offender (unrelated to the HEAVY levels of Jank) was a failstab on Sixghost as he was standing still whacking his sentry. Had a perfect angle, but it still registered as 40 damage. I feel if that had gone through we would've won.
Still, it was a fun attempt and we can make it better next time.
Can we have a weekend Highlander game? Wednesday's I have to wake up very early and I don't want to be a zombie during training.
Eh. I think it was mostly even. We won Barn blitz, you won gorge and foundry was pretty even until two of our people left mid-game. Even then, for 7v9 we held our own for pretty long.

People were ringing the doorbell like crazy, it was my neighbor who saw some weird guys in the street. She's 2 houses after mine, she didn't want to risk.
I don't think I even went afk more than 1 minute. I just let her in.
I thought I did.

Highlander brings out the worst in some people.
Which is why we're doing this every two weeks instead of every single week. A great bonding experience.

Red team is all bros now. We're even getting Red team tattoos from the same place Fallen got his "Live by the crits. Die by the crits." tramp stamp.
Whore.

I think the biggest problem was communication and people not showing up on time.
Also, deciding which maps to play ahead of time would speed things up. And deciding on the rules in general.
Also, Highlander will only be every other week; what sorts of events would you guys like to see on the non-highlander Tuesdays?
ZekeThePlumber

I liked your idea of customs maps on Tuesdays but I'm not quite sure how that would work out as anytime the vote goes up the masses automatically flock to the maps they're familiar with. Is there anyway we can do a "player's choice" night where only nominated maps show up in the map voting?
Also as for Highlander, I think having class specific alternates would help expedite the starting process. If you can't show up within a certain grace period after the starting time, you forfeit your spot to someone else.
Yeah, that's easy. Forcing custom maps only is easy as well. I can have unlimited map files and edit them however I want.
