tf2 12v12 pseudo-competitive pick up games
I thought it'd be fun to try a few different things within tf2. I was talking to my stream chat, and some people mentioned 12v12. Obviously, there's no way that 12v12 could work as a real competitive format, but we had a pretty interesting conversation about a 24 man pug. It will essentially be a very glorified pub, tf2 the way it was meant to be played. Dynamic pushes, good comms, teamwork, etcs. I'd love to do something like this, starting tonight.
There are two rule sets that we will be trying out tonight, so bear with us. They are both subject to change, after looking at the results of each pug.
All of this is going to be organized in my stream chat where mumble and server info will be given out. I'm expecting to have everything 100% ready between 7:30-8:30 est.
GROUP: http://steamcommunity.com/groups/12pug
Ruleset 1
Ruleset 2
Stream
Just stream chat
Configs, based on UGC cfgs
I've got a mumble server hooked up, but if you have a tf2 server that can be used please contact me on steam. Rhere were a few people in chat willing but I can't remember names because I'm garbage. I have money to spend on it if needed, but I'd prefer not to have to.

I prefer Ruleset 2, even though there is no Ambassador. That's my definition of "Vanilla TF2".
By the way, what is this?
"Soldier can only have 2 banners equiped[sic] at once"
Does this mean that if there are 3 soldiers, they can't go Buff/Backup/Conch?

Yeah that was to prevent damage resistant, mega-fast, mini-crit dealers from killing everything. However, that might be pretty fun. We'll see I guess.

This sounds really fun, and playing vanilla (ruleset 2) would really warm my heart. Very unique idea, "tf2 the way it was meant to be played" sounds incredibly intriguing.
Perhaps a steam group for the pugs would be helpful? You can post announcements on there for pugs in case people weren't aware you were streaming, etc.

We were 5 people short tonight. We had fun, but we didn't ever play an actual game.

Made it a little while ago. I'll edit it into the main thread as well. The group will be updated with info sometime tomorrow.

Hmmm.....
Two 6v6 teams in two separate channels on mumble...
Two team captains with a whisper key for each other...
Gravelpit...
"We're pushing into B from short in 10 seconds"
"We're pushing from C in 5"
Yes. Yes. A thousand times yes.
Or..... Gravelpit where the attacking team has 2 snipers, 1 scout, 1 pyro, 2 spies, 1 heavy, 2 medics, 2 demos, 1 DH soldier.
I approve.

That was an initial thought. Have two channels, combo and flank with a maincaller for both. I think it would be interesting.

Different, but would still be fun. Either way, I look forward to these growing big enough to do often. Join the group, and we'll see what we can do.
