Was fun tonight! Couldn't stay much longer Still, good to have some fun again with goodjers ;)

but not on stan's....i am disappoint.

On the server list it only showed one on Stan's....

Stan's had some troubles with the SteamPipe stuff that Gumbie had to come and fix. Thanks to Gumbie for taking time away from whatever he was doing when Ragin' and I started bothering him.

We need a big red button that auto-transfers all of us to Stan's once we reach eight or so on another server.

Whyyyyyyyy did I stay for 2fort. Ugh. And I thought Dustbowl 3 was a meat grinder.

Interestingly, although we mopped them up on the other maps, all the pubs became Hale's Own once 2fort started up. Clearly they know something I don't.

Edit: Now that I think of it, there was an imperceptible shift as we switched from playing ctf_2fort to dm_2fort. And that is why I fail.

OK. I would consider running a tournament, assuming those who ran the previous will give some guidance and advice.

I threw this out before, but I think a tournament played in arena mode, with more smaller teams would be fun. Instead of best out of three you could play best out of seven, and allow strategy to change the flow of how things are going. Teams of eight, playing six at a time would mean we could field a decent number of teams, and players could be rotated in our out (although I think we will have enough trouble making sure six are available for a match).

Then again if we have four twenty man teams for twelve on twelve it will take longer to schedule and may keep the server full for longer periods of time. Remember when Saturday afternoon shoot around was the norm?

Give this man a Community Weapon!
I'm in, but I definite do not qualify as any Team Captain. Draft me to a team that wants an average Sniper or Pyro. Be nice to the old guy.

I play heavy weapons guy occasionally, put me on a team, cap'n.

I'd be down with an Arena focused tournament. I miss straight-up deathmatch.

And my rocket launcher!

I volunteer to help organize a tournament too! Granted, I've never participated in a tournament before, and I've obviously never organized one before either. But really, how hard could it be?

Not a huge fan of Arena to be honest. But it won't stop me from playing either
Will help out where can

I am normally available between 8:30 and 9:30 C.T. every night for some TF2. I have spun up the pub a few times but feel a little powerless if something goes awry since I am not admin. Also, fear of rejection and a failed spin-up usually deter me. I then proceed to a 2fort server and shoot mannes for sport. I love to taunt pubbies on those servers. Last night I only had a few mintues so I did not join goodjers on that other pub server. Thanks for the invite though evilseed.

I thought evilseed was only inviting me! I guess I am not special after all!

I would set up a second thread for Tournament sign-ups. That keeps this one free for normal talk. T-Prime, you can be Wakim's second in command. It's not Gumbie second in command since Wakim is no Madlaughlin, though.

I'll get you added as an admin.

Thx Gumbie. If you could point me to a good source of instruction on the commands this would be good.

This is me, playing yesterday in a team full of pubbies vs Team Pubstomp GWJ

Hey, I have a great idea! Maybe if all the Goodjers who play TF2 get on the GWJ server and play together....

Nah, crazytalk.

The only thing you can do in this dire situation is invent clever ways to kill your GWJ buddies and taunt. e.g., punching snipers to death as a heavy. Then they will know that although your team lost, YOU are the REAL winner

I found some GWJers on a server last night and found my new favourite stupid KOTH map (although officially I think it was single cp map).
I forget the name (another GWJer with a better memory fill it in please, cp_trainsawlaser?). It features trains, saws, lasers, and "train rain". It has a scoreboard at spawn that counts train victims. Good for screwing around. I don't think we could stand more than 15? minutes of this and definitely not for serious play.

QFT. I had two horrible Badwater rounds at the bottom of the scoreboard.

But when we switched to another map I redeemed myself and was able to sleep soundly.

Last night someone made a GWJ event to get on the server, so I got on the server, but no one else did

So, tonight.

There are already 24/7 servers of it. This is oh so very wrong.

I was disappointed in the lack of saws. It's the second thing in the title and there's only like one saw that's in play. The others are in out of the way areas that are easily avoidable.

There are trains during train rain with saw blades attached to them.

Yeah this sounds good.

Trainsawlaser is goddamn amazing. I think it was the Penny Arcade server where I played it first, and it's an absolute blast. Especially if you're buzzed (GET IT HA HA)

Try to play Sniper then. You'll find all of them. The mapmaker clearly hates Snipers.

Strange pan get. Now I'm sad that I don't have a strange ham.

But then, who doesn't, really?

Tonight, we dine on pubbies.
