Whats up guys - I own the iT servers (Jump iT, JuJump iT, Surf iT, Bball iT, and MGE iT) and help run tf2jump.com. This season I am also helping sponsor LG (though in my head they are called Team iT). I have never played any competitive tf2 in my life... yet sit on these forums/natf2 all day at work. AMA.
9 hours at work with absolutely nothing to do... I'll be stoked if i get a single question!

Do you ever think you'll go into competitive tf2?
What made you want to sponsor a top competitive team and fund the servers (one of which is based solely on DM practice for competitive play)?

flynn__Do you ever think you'll go into competitive tf2?
Never. I used to pub nonstop (i jumped from 600 hours to like 2500 in 8ish months) and i think that blew me out. Nowadays I don't even really enjoy playing anymore... ill hop on like once a month for a day and then I'm over it. If I did still enjoy playing I still wouldnt play comp though - I give new meaning to the term 'sore loser' and it would just be bad.

Surprisingly, I really enjoy watching competitive tf2. About a year ago I was joking that I should create a Team iT (since having a team is the next 'logical' move when you own 5 servers) ... coincidentally right around the time I had this idea I met cyzer and they were going through the whole eMg sponsorship ordeal - so naturally I volunteered to get the team to LAN via carpool in my civic. I was just learning about the sponsorship situation in tf2 and it kind of blew my mind that one of the best teams couldnt land a reliable sponsor. Then it happened again with Quantic... thats just bad luck. I always joked that I would sponsor them... but after realizing how much money I donated across all the teams fundraisers for the last lan, I figured it was better to back the team who (in my opinion) doesnt deserve to get fucked as much as they do. LG is awesome and I am so happy they have a GOOD sponsor - I am just providing that XX amount of money needed to get from LG's funds to lan - sorry if that didnt make sense... it did in my head.
As far as the servers... I was supposed to be a temporary Jump iT owner when the server stopped being paid for 2 years ago. I ended up staying the owner and slowly expanded to 5 servers.

breloomwhy do you use a fake name on your facebook?
My facebook name is my first and middle name - due to my job and the fact that I do THIS all day at work... i thought it would be safer that way.
breloomhow are you such a classy lady?
I came out of the womb classy.
breloombraided pubes on guys: yes or no?
no - unless its a french braid... because that would be impressive to see
breloomwho would win in a fight you or your sister?
I think that question was answered last Christmas
breloomhow white trash is your little sister?
A year ago? 10/10 - Today? 0/10... she dropped her loser man and is going back to school/interning and has turned into an amazing young woman.
rayyyHow did you get in to jumping?
Back when I was a pubbing maniac... this random guy use to play with us almost every night - he never talked or anything but he was really fkin good. We started talking to him and turns out this stranger was wonderland. I didn't know who he was or what trickjumping was, but after seeing his movies and watching him on Jump iT I was in love (with the art, not wonderland) - I am a pretty terrible jumper tbh... and never put time into getting better. Jumping is one of those things I just love to watch... and watching is how I ended up here today.

I love watching people fail... especially when they ask me for advice (lol). But I do love watching you fail a smidge more than other people. I will never forget watching you go through scorpion as soldier... you had the patience of a monk with that one jump with the electric squiggly lines. weirdo.
PlatinumWhy aren't we FB friends?
Because you havent added me! I let e-friends add me if they want to... I know a lot of people are weird about adding people they dont know irl so I just let others do the deed.
PlatinumAre you as excited for i46 as I am?
I dont think I can get on your excited level since im not going =( but I am very excited for you guys!! I will even take a break from gw2 (which comes out on saturday) to watch the finals!!

If it werent for the fact that the IP's would change... I would say absolutely. When MGE iT went down for a few months and it had to get a new IP it never recovered. To this day people are still surprised when I tell them its back up.

Not sure if it works like this in TF2, but couldn't you scale back your hosting plans for the iT servers so you're paying the minimum amount per month and then redirect all connections to the Tragic ones?

VortexWhat do you find more fun, jumping or surfing?
Jumping by far... as cool as surfing is it is just so useless - you will only use you surf skills on surf maps. IMO jumping is more fun because you actually use some of the technique out there on the battlefield. Plus with surfing I find myself getting frustrated with things like lack of speed and those damn ramps that just stop you randomly - jumping relies on skill not mapping!

we'd still have to be paying around 4.50 a month for every server which would basically just leave the total amount payed about the same, even if tragic gave a batch server discount or something the drop in cost probably wouldn't be worth all the hassle/confusion. I also think you can't force a client to a different server (I'm not sure on this though, maybe things have changed)

Absolutely not - in fact I encourage your efforts. Although... I DID think you were a girl for quite a while when i first met you so this could be dangerous.
eulogy_whats the funniest pickup line you have heard while playing teh video gamez
Lord I have no clue... I used to be a social butterfly on the mic so I have heard pretty much everything - and to be honest the whole getting hit on in an ONLINE VIDEO GAME scenario gets really stale and annoying (especially when youve been doing it as long as I have). Nothing is original anymore... plus 95% of the time everyone thinks I am a little boy anyways.
