For some reason, I don’t think we’re going to make a team for the Highlander ladder.
We have people interested, but nobody wants to lead
In an attempt to try to organize things here is a ghetto list of ppl and their classes. Class listed first is their preferred and descending is my attempt to gauge how confident they are with the rest:
MaDWak ? SCOUT/SOLDIER
Green ? MEDIC
Yuna ? HEAVY
Shadowinfinity ? HEAVY
Irennicus ? SCOUT/ANY (except DEMO)
BIGWORM ? SNIPER/SCOUT/HEAVY
BIG BAD MOG ? SOLDIER/SCOUT/PYRO
Geese Pants ? MEDIC
Blurei ? ANY APPARENTLY
Bear ? SOLDIER
Spudlyff8fan ? MEDIC/PYRO/ENGY/HEAVY/SOLDIER/SPY/DEMOKNIGHT/SCOUT (out)
Samurai Lincoln ? HEAVY/SCOUT/SNIPER
Suicidal Grandpa ? LUCKSMAN SNIPER
Fuzzy_Snugs - ANY
The way I see it, we covered everyone except a good spy (which is kinda hard to do especially if it?s gonna be highlander format with non-pugs), and more than one person that can play an engineer. Wrangler engy is pretty damn good so it would be nice to get someone that has it. From what I?ve also read, a good demo can pretty much destroy an entire team so if nobody has any confidence in playing a sticky demo I?ll give it a go. It?s not op level but I can at least setup some kills/stall ubers.
Gonna have to pull out on that one, I joined another team, haha.
Though the game allows you to use “mercenaries” so that if you’re short a player or two, I can join in. And like I said, I can competently play any class except sniper. Though I’d be best for filling in as a Pyro, Soldier, Medic or Engy.
Sounds like our go-to Spy?
I’ll drop my name in and say that I can play any class.
I’d just have to learn the roll out for Soldier or Demo on Push CP maps.
And we’re not just going to be going to play random classes instead of seeing who is best at what class, or something similar. Right?
We had trouble just having ppl log on the SRK server…let alone try to organize and critique everyone.
In an attempt to organize my vote I’d like to play Scout if at all possible.
Man, still need a pro demo. Trying my best to learn him but scouts just eat me alive.
Today got an update…
I recorded some demos of 4 or 5 maps the other night, cut out the better kills and made a little frag video out of it. Not a lot of aerials as people in pubs don’t use the air all that much. And I know, I know, there are crits. Kinda comes with playing on pubs. Anywho …

And I will likely have my own team together for highlander, but put me on the SRK roster as a sub, or if people fall through I’ll switch over altogether.
If I were to make a “I kill people in pubs” video, it would involve reflected rockets and Axtinguishers. And it would be VERY boring.
I can actually be signed-on as a sub for any SRK team. My ETF2L username is spudlyff8fan.
Wow, huge update announced…
The Mann-Conomy update (Previously referred to as the Polycount pack update)
Big Features:
5 Class Sets of items
Each set is 3 or 4 items
Wearing a class set grants you a bonus (RPG Talk here we come!) such as +bonus health, faster move speed, etc
Trading is in
Able to customize some items (colors and names) to make it unique to you
Store: Able to buy most items directly instead of having to wait for drops/crafting. Prices range from 99 cents to 4.99 currently
All items currently in the game get labeled as “Vintage” so people know they came pre-update. All future items will not carry this label, so it makes items gained collectors editions.
Team Fortress 2 - The Mann-Conomy Upate
There’s going to be a huge shitstorm over the ability to purchase items, but so long as you can find everything the normal way, I really don’t see a big issue with this.
Edit: http://tf2stats.net/all_items
A good look at everything included in this update as far as items go
Edit 2: What the fuck, I got a free hat from the new update and I haven’t even been logged in for awhile? Thats weird and awesome haha

Oh wait nevermind it’s just the Worms Hat I never logged in to collect
imo, most of the new weapons are kinda disappointing.
But the Degreaser seems useful, considering how I view the fire damage to be crap in the first place.
Not a whole lot to get excited for.
The new Spy gun is ass, the new Spy knife is fun but really just ass.
Soldier rocket launcher seems pretty nice if you don’t have a pocket healer.
Anyone test just how much better the degreaser is for flame -> axe?
The new snifle is interesting.
Is the rocket’s effect only once per fire or does it add up if you hit multiple targets?
The Pyro has apparently been buffed. Really looking forward to testing out the new degreaser now <3. Someone on TF2’s forums claimed that you could ignite -> airblast -> meaty with a shotgun -> and pull out the axting for the finishing blow before the guy lands. Deadly. It’ll certainly help in taking out Heavies up close, as it was pretty much impossible for a Pyro to do anything if a Heavy entered his vicinity.
Just crafted the Degreaser. Straight up buff if you don’t stuck at Pyro. Puff and Sting can now be actually used as a backstab.
The sniper’s bonus of having not able to be hit by a headshot when he has all the new items is stupid.
