I DID turn at the last second to get that spy HS
Hope I have enough junk for what ever Valve has in mind:

No capacitors or diaries though. Mysterious!
Also, I hope its soon, I am running out places to put all the extra weapons. Full accounts don't get drops.

Some dude got an Unusual hat for a diary.

I just wish there was a way to determine how many of 1 item is out there.
I keep on hearing different numbers for how many diaries there are.
Check this: http://stats.tf/cat/other. No idea how accurate it is, but it should give you an idea of how rare the Secret Diary is for now.
Updated roster:
Scout: Snacks
Soldier: fallengorn
Pyro: sixghost
Demoman: Zeke
Heavy: Blizzard
Engineer: thefro
Medic: Oreoleo
Sniper: Soka
Spy: NSQuote
Confirmed for tonight:
Matt
fallengorn
thefro
Kirsten
Oreo
Proven
Solid
Blizzard*
*Time isn't confirmed yet, so I don't know if he'll be available.
That's 7 confirmed, 1 maybe, and we'll be easily be able to pull someone out of the many on our team. But you guys get first dibs since you were kind enough to post!
fallengorn
Bitches love smiley faces
May or may not be able to do tonight depending on time.

So organized matches happen a few times a week now? interesting...
I want to do more mini-sentry tests for vitalism!
Get it out of your head that to play a CTF map you have to protect the intel. Vitalism tries to turn CTF on its head by having you protect the cap. You can protect the cap by putting sentries and patrols there, and also by just taking their intel so that the cap zone closes.
Seriously, defense is almost impossible on that map. So instead of hating it, try to play it as intended and then break it from there.
You can put an Engineer and Pyro in the cap zone area with a mini sentry defense, have a Sniper and Spy roaming along the sides, most of the team is in the upper house area preparing an easy push inside, and the Soldier (and maybe the Demo) can jump around to support all three groups easy. The center even has a nice drop down so that you can emergency stop a Scout cap, and you have the high ground, and you can always just walk back into your intel room if you're that worried. Seriously.
Hold the house, hold the cap zone, and you win. Why use the regular old boring strategy for such a crazy map? That's crazy. Too much of TF2 is about doing what's old and familiar.

I'm confirmed whenever I actually know what time the scrim is. =P

I'm pretty much certain I'll be around to play.

Unless they are used at crafting ingredients, but if you don't care about them, cash that shit in.
I feel less bad about not getting one on my idlers last night, at least.
But how does Dante end up with one D;
Glad to see you're thinking along the same lines I am. There's one decent spot to put a level 3 over the intelligence but it's ridiclously vulnerable, even if you run Wrangler. You definitely want to control the middle which 1) allows you to block the enemy from capping, 2) allows you to cap, and 3) makes it easy to push in to get the enemy's intelligence and come back and cap.
Obviously if you could sneak a level 3 in the middle, that'd be ideal but that's going to be nearly impossible to keep up given the 5-6 flank routes for every portion of this map and the heavy foot traffic near the cap zone. Definitely seems like an engineer would be better off running minis, but I'll try to play a couple lobbies before the scrim tonight to get an idea.

There's ten in x amount of public inventories on steam that happened to get scanned. You're supposed to extrapolate that out. There are many many many more than 10.
That's some fancy estimating you got there.

Another random update. 80.8 MBs.
Trading that diary was a god damn nightmare! Get a good offer, then a better, wait on the better, then lose both! This one dude was trying to trade his diary to someone else for way too much, then buy mine for less, but he was stupid enough to copy/past a chat log with his buyer, so I friended his buyer and just sniped the trade for a lower price.
Traded my diary for a Max Head, Fast Learner, and 2 keys.

80 MB update just hit. I am currently checking to see if any jimmies have been rustled.
[edit]Some new code, may indicate an eighth item. The mystery solving line refers to the set bonus of the Medic set.
I thought it was known already that the Medic set reveals the hidden message on the item or is there more to it?

Well, the update is obviously coming tomorrow. c:
This is update 299 I believe.

Yes, but if you notice there are eight lines when we only had seven items. Also someone got this, not sure if new:
Wow, you are very, very lucky. Enjoy your hats.
Didn't get get a Salvaged Crate recently too? SHARE THE LUCK WITH US, DANTE

Borgnine gave me a salvaged #40? Is that worth anything? :0
You should unlock it, then sell the contents. Strange Huntsman is worth a buds last I checked.
The only drop that isn't worth a lot is the Strange Mantreads, and if you get one you can always give it to me. :3
I'll open it on the server tonight :3

wtf
worth 7 keys it seems? But is that the one with the Strange Huntsman? You could chance it with the luck you have

Tomorrow, the Promise day.

#2: [2]
#3: [3]
#4: [4]
#5: [5]
#6: [6]
#7: [7]
#8: [8]
The eight lines may refer to the banana errors. The top line says Banana Overflow or something to that effect in Spanish and the line above the random code says Detailed Report in Finnish.
SOMEONE TRANSLATE THE CODE.

and when combined, you get a huge ASCII art of Gabe's troll face.
I wonder if the "Code Number" at the beginning has something to do with it or if it's just random.
