Team Fortress 8

[Bananamatic]

Valve gave it out for NOT using an idling program

the idlers raged like mad because they got boned out of their items
unfortunately I wasn't playing back then

[Cadmas]

So far the only weapon I've gotten is the spy's pistol which is meh.
I rather have weapons that do more damage than add something that's supplementary.

Other than that Cheaters Lament and a Merryweather.

Also all these dual pistols and crates are cluttering up the backpack. 

[Esifex]

Oh. I thought Cheater's Lament was like 'HAHA YOU GOT CAUGHT CHEATING'

[Mounting Jaggis]

It's more like "The cheaters are lamenting for not having this hat". Which they did, a lot. People even made servers that banned you for having the hat in your backpack, regardless if you equipped it or not. Kind of weird, banning people for not cheating.

EDIT: Broken Sydney Sleeper is broken

[Deity Link]

yeah, EvilDaedalus is al/ways the first one to notice these glitchs.

It's not that "cheaters" were lamenting not getting the hat; it's that people wearing halos felt the need to acquire a holier-than-thou attitude to accompany their new headpiece, and would continually talk down to idlers.  Idlers, as well as people that didn't give a damn about the whole thing in the first place (hi o/), got extremely pissed off extremely fast, and the incessant bullshit started flying from both sides.

[Cadmas]

lol my brother has already put the spy gun in the "craft this crap away" bin.

[Bananamatic]

lol, I also got double killed by the piss rifle
it's a horrible concept anyways

also airshot

Nah, the new spy gun isn't bad.  Hell, for the average player that uses The Ambassador you're better off with the new gun since the decrease in damage isn't much more and you probably weren't capable of getting a headshot on anything but a stationary sniper in the first place. (And if you were using the revolver it would only take one more shot than you'd need to kill them with The Ambassador, anyway.)

If you're not going to choose the superior weapon (revolver) you could at least pick the better of the unlocks.

[Mounting Jaggis]

I never used the Ambassador, and the only reason I use the Revolver is to kill guys with less than 50hp, kill Razorback Snipers, and defend myself when I wait for my Dead Ringer recharge. This new gun will be helpful for the DR, and with the Saharan set it becomes the Silent Ringer.

[Cadmas]

I'm with ya there about the Ambassador being bleh. Like I said I always prefer a more powerful gun over the chance stuff and gimmicks.

[Barrakketh]

This new gun will be helpful for the DR

You forgot that the new gun is the only other way to recharge the C&D other than by waiting.

[hyorinryu]

I love the ambassador, even though the regular revolver is probably better. Ammy-critting a spastic is so satisfying. It makes me feel pro. The over-the-top FABULOUS of the gun doesn't hurt either.

[Cadmas]

Drool, degreaser drop.

[Bananamatic]

I guess I should start using stickies

some of these pubbers are almost frighteningly dedicated - not even 3 stickies on the point stop the capping attempt

[SAS]

HLxstats-mod counts every hit with the Holy Mackarel as a kill.
RAMPAGE!

[Esoterica]

So I've found four Degreasers now.

Trading them for new Scout, Spy, or Sniper items.  Or better yet, a Powerjack.

Also, if anyone has spare earbuds I want them, because I traded mine away for a level 97 Vintage Vintage Merryweather. :V nvm rat bastard backed out on me :<

I won't part with my scout weapons (they're all one of a kind right now, don't have any dupes), but I'll give my spy pistol or spy knife for a degreaser. I'm not really too fond of them to really miss them right now :V

[Cadmas]

My brother traded his crates to some pyro. Pyro opened them and got a name tag and the sleepy cap.

Also now got the useless danger shield.

[N-Forza]

I'm only using the Ambassador (and the Targe) until I get their respective achievements.

[hyorinryu]

Exactly how much are cans of paint and name tags worth? Also, can they be crafted.

[Esoterica]

Name tags are $5.00 in the store, paint's $2.50 I think.  Both can drop randomly with weapon-rarity.

[Krakozhia]

Aloha, me again.

...Is it just my computer or do 0 servers come up no matter what criterion I put in?  Even just "Team Fortress 2" and nothing else comes back with no servers.  Anything I'm missing? Should I be looking at the (TF2) site for any news or anything?

Sorry to keep bothering you folk with my newbish questions

[MediumSoda]

...

isn't that bad, though? It's like bragging that you've gotten arrested for child molestation. Why would you want to admit to doing something you shouldn't have?

I think my sentence structure could use some work  :blush:
You got the hat for NOT using the idle program. Anyone who used it didn't get a halo.

Has anyone gotten a key for the crates through a random drop? Or are those story only?

[Esoterica]

Store only, sadly.  I've got three of the damn things.

Also trading is the best thing ever, I traded an Ubersaw for a Magistrate's Mullet and also got a Napper's Respite <3  Might trade the nightcap for the sombrero...maybe.

EDIT: Traded the spy knife for a sombrero, scratch that :V

EDIT2: My hat collection has soared to an all-time high.

Mein Leben.

Got the entire Pyro pack now.  That +10% speed boost is amazingly noticeable.

Man, and I thought I was being a bit greedy wanting to trade my extra Vintage weapons for Refined Metal. Maybe I should look around some more.

Really?  I can barely notice the 7% bonus the medic has.  I don't think I'd give up the Axtinguisher for the Powerjack, either...the Degreaser makes the Axtinguisher much more attractive.

At first I was like "big deal", but then I started walking around at Badlands mid and was rather impressed with the extra mobility.

My experiences with axtinguisher + degreaser haven't been too great, either.  You can actually beat a heavy, but against classes capable of moving around enough to dodge a hit, you still need to wait for them to fall after the puff, which completely defeats the purpose.

On the other hand, Degreaser + shotty is god tier :V
