  • I mostly have played Medic and enjoy it, however I have been loving engineer in 2fort.

    Cripes, there's been eighty posts since I last looked at this thread. Uhh, I tend to do reasonably well as distraction/capper Scout and defensive Heavy, but Pyro and Engineer aren't out of the question either.

    I don't have much of an opinion on items, I'm in support of Valve Maps Only (save for 2fort), and I'd like to point out that Nate didn't consult me before volunteering me for a Team Captain position. I'd rather avoid it if at all possible, I'm a shocktrooper, not a leader.

    Something I'd like to bring up is the possibility of class-locking, where you start as your chosen class and can't switch during rounds, only between rounds and during setup periods. Was this implicit to the whole tournament scrim thing, or was this something that needed to be brought up?

  • I'm decent at annoying scout, I can play heavy adequately, and I'm getting better at grenade/melee Demo. Just don't ask me to snipe.
  • I've not played enough to know what I like best, or what I'm good at. I did okay with the sniper, but it felt weird. Is it right that it feels like there is massive lag between clicking and the gun firing? That really annoys me.

    Also mist of the weapons you guys have mentioned so far don't mean anything to me. I guess I need to play on some more servers to get the full range of characters.
  • Scout/Heavy. Tolerable Sniper or Engi with sufficient cover.
  • As far as the weapons, I say we stick to basics. Even though I don't have a problem with the extra weapons myself, I'd rather just minimize the QQ and be on with it.
  • Judging by Andrew's last post, I wanna be on his team. He sounds like the evil coach from the Mighty Ducks. I root for that fucker every time.
  • I wont mince words, im very good at medic. Not GREAT but ive made MVP a couple of times as medic. I can play pyro in a pinch. Any team needing a medic to balance Ro or want more support, im your guy.
  • count me in, medic/soldier
  • Is there any reason why we can't just have randomised teams? The whole "pick me! pick me!" thing seems a little silly.
  • Best on Defense as any class.
    Good as offensive scout or soldier.
    Terrible spy. Just terrible.

    At least one person here is going to have some horrific flashback to being last-picked in gym class. Can we all meet up for dodgeball after the scrim?

    I was oddly happy to not be picked for phys ed, because then I could just sit to the side and read my goddamn book, and let all the rough types go thrash on each other for an hour. In high school, it stopped happening - Basketball, pick the tall guy. Rugby, pick the big guy who looks like he can run real fast. Soccer, pick the big, agile looking guy for defense. I'm utterly shit at all of them, of course, but that doesn't stop anyone - though it was only just before I left that they bought in the one sport I'm actually decent at, baseball, and we ended up getting our season win taken away, because instead of the teacher, Steve and I were actually coaching the team, since we were both Metro leauge players at the time, and the teacher had no fucking clue what was going on and just left us to it.

    Err, what were we talking about again?
  • I play best as a Pyro a Scout, but can handle Heavy, Engineer and Medic as well to a reasonable degree of skill. Just don't ask me to snipe or play Demoman.

    I want to read, but they always make you play, even if it makes the teams unbalanced. In 9th Grade, the coach gave up requiring anything, and just opened up the door to the supply closet and said "do whatever the hell you want." I ended up in a soccer circle with a group of jittery girls. Not the best way to kill 45 minutes, but not terrible.

    One reason not to go with randomised teams is you want each team to have a range of players specialising in different classes. You don't want to end up with a full team of sniper players.

    P_TOG is the only player I really wouldn't want to be against, of those I've played against on the server.

  • This is why I said the draft should be secret...
  • Secret draft is fine.

    Secret draft is fine.
    Fine with me as well. My insecurities in my abilities to play each class will only challenge me to become better at them and better as a player.

  • Primarily a Huntsman Sniper/Spy/Pyro and decent Medic. My Demoman and Soldier skills are a bit too rusty for me to use in these versus matches.
  • I'm pretty shite, but I'm Most shite with the soldier and demo, least shite with sniper, scout, and relatively medium shite with everything else.
  • So when is the Scrimmage?
  • Next Saturday at the earliest, since a bunch of us (myself and Neito included) are busy this coming Saturday.
  • Are we picking a time for Today or Tomorrow? I'd wanna know as soon as possible. :X

    It's not going to be this weekend, or likely next. I'm working and going out with some friends tomorrow, and working next weekend. Probably two weeks from today.

    So, plenty of time to hammer down the rules and practice, then!

    Is just spectating an option?

    If not, I can be decent pyro, heavy, medic, spy, engi. Tolerable sniper, scout, soldier. Not much of demoman if you don't count melee.

    We might want to get these teams picked fast, then, so we have a week to work together as teams - a completely fresh team is hardly better than no team at all, considering average player level here.

    Yup. Think its best to just post a set of days and hours where people will be playing and practicing leading up to the match? THis way i can jump in any time to practice as long as its during those set hours or days
  • I should probably add that whilst I have played all the classes on and off, I have the most experience with the medic.
