[Steam] Thread XVI: The biggest in-joke in gaming

[Aron Times]

I find that the effectiveness of the spy is directly proportional to the number of engineers, snipers, and heavies on the other team and inversely proportional to to the number of spies on your team. Also, some maps are really lousy for spies. Nucleus, for example, is so open that there is virtually nowhere to hide.

What do you think?

[Oh no]

well **** guys i ****ed up were supposed to go against a different team and i had scheduled with someone completely different...**** me...no game today but treayn is going to work with scheduling with the other guys...

[Dogmantra]

inversely proportional to to the number of spies on your team. Also, some maps are really lousy for spies.

I think this is true for every class. More so the better the person playing is. It's got to the point for me where I literally cannot play Medic if there's another one on my team. Soldier and Demo not so much, but if we have a couple of each, I'm screwed.

Yeah, too much of one class tends to be worse for the team because you lose balance and other strengths from other classes.

However, Nucleus I find is at least a decent map for spy. Mainly due the multiple levels and the fact that it's a giant ring. Gives plenty of places to escape and come from a different direction.

If you are on CHHA YELLOW and are not already here, we need you NOW.

ANYONE REGISTERED FOR YELLOW, WE NEED YOU OR WE WILL HAVE TO FORFEIT.

[Science Officer]

It might be difficult impossible to find, but I have a suggestion for the next movie night.

Geisha is.... japanese girl...

Geisha is... beautiful...

Geisha is... wild...

Geisha is... ROBOT.

For the future, if any other teams have a match and need a Merc, hit me up if I don't have a match. This also depends on what class you want me to play....

We won.

[potatocubed]

We didn't forfeit.

Instead, we won at everything.

\o/

[Smiling-Jack]

We won.
[10characters]

It was beautiful.

[Dogmantra]

Congratulations!

Did you all record demos and someone take status screenshots?

[Azimer the Mad]

I was recording the whole thing...including when I blew up four people on the cart! Great good was done by everyone.

[NeoVid]

We did scarily well. It was amazing.

Though I have to say it helped that the enemy medic usually didn't wait until there were teammates to heal before he left spawn.

Also, Dustbowl is totally different if there aren't 4 Engis on RED.

[Dread Cthulhu]

I recorded demos, got screenshots and have uploaded the results to ETF2L.

The game was great fun, all of Yellow played really well. And the NGs were excellent opponents.

Oh, and if you want to leave them any messages feel free to do that here.

[Etcetera]

Yeah, I recorded too.

My favourite bits where where I came in the top 3, killed an engie by jumping on his sentry and shot stuff with a shot gun. Ooh, and the bit on dustbowl third stage where my sentry kicked ass.

My least favourite bits were where everyone had cooler UIs than me, my mic wouldn't work, I couldn't change my loadout and when we almost forfeited.

[NeoVid]

and when we almost forfeited.

I showed up in time, dammit! I had been told right before that I wasn't needed, so I had to convince my team in the LoL game I was in to surrender.

[Azimer the Mad]

Not bad for a replacement demoman. The teamwork we all had was amazing.

[Etcetera]

I'm not blaming anyone, that would be, well, stupid, immature, counter-productive and petty.

I was just worried that we would lose.

[Fawkes]

So how do we upload our demos?

[Dread Cthulhu]

Hey no, playing the blame game would be silly.

But if you have to blame anyone, I did tell NeoVid explicitly that he wouldn't be needed just before the game. And I forgot that Byrnbot said he would be a little late.

Also, we don't upload the demos. We need to keep them for two weeks in case any accusations come up. I'm almost certain they won't, but if we don't have them we're punished for it.

[Dogmantra]

So how do we upload our demos?

As far as I'm aware, you don't need to unless the other team challenges you on a rules point.

Bear in mind though, you must keep these demos for at least two weeks.

Yes. I screwed up. Dinner/clearup took too long. Had forgotten to excuse self early out of courtesy.

I OWE EVERYONE IN YELLOW A REAL LIFE DRINK: If you ever find/meet me in real life, I owe you a cool, refreshing beverage.

Right then. You're coming to the UKitP meetup.

Other than that scary setback, everything was awesome. I loved to dominate their Heavy/Medic pair.

[Aron Times]

Congratulations on your VICTOLY, Team Yellow!

By the way, how did the spies do? I noticed that on some of the scoreboards, the Yellow spy was in the lead. How good was the enemy spy?

[Dogmantra]

I noticed that on some of the scoreboards, the Yellow spy was in the lead.

This is because Kainozzo IS the Spy. He doesn't play the Spy. He doesn't even main the Spy.

He frigging IS the Spy. Even when he's a flipping Heavy.

[Dread Cthulhu]

The enemy Spy got me a couple of times, but he wasn't too much of a threat. I didn't hear anyone cursing him over the mic.

Whereas Kainozzo was good to a ridonkulous degree. I was spectating him on Upward when he stopped about four people capping the point.

[Byrnbot08]

This is because Kainozzo IS the Equalizer. He doesn't play Equalizer Soldier. He doesn't even main the Equalizer.

He frigging IS the Equalizer. Even when he's a flipping Equalizer Heavy.

So, Kainozzo really... Equalized the teams?

I couldn't resist.

Congratulations Yellow! And you're now guaranteed your medals I believe!

Congratulations Yellow! And you're now guaranteed your medals I believe!

They have to participate in all matches.
