Hey guys, for those who don't know me I'm mustardoverlord, demoman and team leader for Dead Ringer Storage: http://www.ugcleague.com/team_page.cfm?clan_id=8004
I know that us platinum highlander players should, on average, be giving back more to the community than we currently are. Thus, I decided to do so in a way that would harness my greatest asset (talking a lot), and organize a grand ol' question and answer session with a diverse crowd of NA plat players from a variety of teams.
I can't reveal the final list of contributors, but here are some people I've asked so far:
From Gentlemen's Club- vhalin, ash, and Arthur
From Electric Temptations- Argo, phAZE, and Satan
From DRS- Hard Ass Johnny and myself
From Murderforce 9000- stabby and sigafoo
More players to come!
Here's the way the format will work: I am cross-posting this on r/truetf2, the UGC forums, and teamfortress.tv. Post your questions on any of these threads, and I will gather them and sort them as best I can. This weekend, I will gather the whole posse in mumble and we will stream the answers LIVE, and I will try to get a moderator to track the twitch chat and gather yet more questions still for us to answer.
Feel free to ask any non-trolly question you want (with a few mildly trolly questions mixed in, if you really want!). We will happily answer as many questions as possible, as thoroughly and honestly as we can. Questions can range in topic from class and general tips, to our opinion of maps, other players and teams, UGC rules and decisions, and even our favorite hats if you wanna be ~that guy~. I hope to see lots of creative and thought-provoking queries from y'all!
The event will go live this Sunday, the 23rd, at 6:00 PM est. I have yet to determine what stream to use, so stay tuned for that to be announced.
C U THERE

I have one, but it's more of a joke/troll, how do you have 161 hours in two weeks or 15,583 hrs on record in only 3 years of playing/steam account? Can you explain the last time that you have felt direct sunlight :P Well, that assumes that you know what sunlight feels like :P

What is your favorite kind of mustard?
In HL, after facing yet another wrangled sentry or being airblasted ad infinitum, have you ever thought "fuck this I'm playing 6s"?
Platinum is down to just 9 teams this season, is it going to be possible to revitalize HL at the highest level?
What do you have to say to your detractors who hate you for your shit-talking ways?

What are team's thoughts on releasing more POV's? I always like when teams are able to post vods from matches, especially with comms, but it seems incredibly rare for the amount of effort I feel that it takes.

What's, in your opinion, the most productive way to practice, other than scrimming? 6s or HL.

Why doesn't highlander ban more weapons?
Why were previously illegal weapons like pocket pistol, enforcer, and reserve shooter legalized even though there weren't any balance changes?
Do you think that HL's insistence on allowing every weapon hurts its legitimacy as a competitive format?
Thoughts on the more or less failed UGC crowd funded prize pool? 6s raises over $10,000 a year for events from a much smaller userbase. Why can't UGC meet a much smaller goal with a much larger userbase?

To Snipers:
How do you 1v1 against a Sniper that moves left-right-left-right?
And all players:
Why don't you get bored of TF2?

AllealWhy can't UGC meet a much smaller goal with a much larger userbase?
Historically speaking, people pay money to play sixes in ESEA. It's the top level of TF2 available OR for a shot at LAN OR whatever other reasons they have.
UGC is a free, accessible league for beginners and is generally at a lower skill level (despite slightly increasing interest in HL from invite-level talent.)
I mean I'm sure if UGC for some reason charged registration and funded its prize pool off that, they'd have no problems.

Assuming I have the time and I enjoy all competitive TF2, although 6s is more important to me, why should I (or how would it benefit me to) play both 6s and HL instead of just playing more 6s?

What is your opinion on Gold division?
Do you feel Platinum would benefit from having more low-mid plat teams? Or do you think Platinum is better off with its current state of 9-10 teams?
What is one thing you would like to see to improve the current state of Platinum division? What about the league in general?

as the best highlander players, are you happy with how the format is doing? does it feel more random than you would like it to be? do you think you are pushing the limits of team coordination or does HL still feel like a clusterfuck, even at high levels?

When you play on steam for close to 80 or more hours in two weeks you begin to gravitate toward that lifestyle.

Current state of HL coverage compared to 1 year ago (or even the year before that) - I like to think a lot more is being done within the community.
Why am I better than you at TF2?

- With the popularity of competitive TF2 bleeding into almost every aspect of public play, what could we do as a community to encourage more people to join in on the fun?
- Would Highlander benefit from having a smaller or larger whitelist?
- What maps aren't getting enough exposure - or - which map deserves to be re-made/updated the most?
- Opinions on the state of the Platinum division?
This one has Mustard in mind but others are welcome to reply as well:
It is known that in the past that you've voiced some major criticisms with UGC and how some of the people run the league or represent the league. How do you feel the about UGC today compared to 2 years ago? What are some things UGC can do better?
