dont worry it's a worst case scenario kinda slot

New bingo card, plus some incentives!
Boxcar and I drew up some new bingo card slots to combine with the previous season, and you can go here to get your own. Instead of everyone having the same card, everyone should get one randomly generated from the list of 44 possible slots which is visible here. The first person to post a verifiable bingo will receive 5 keys courtesy of yours truly.

Good luck

Also if you're participating for prizes post a link (doesnt need to be an imbedded image) to you bingo either ITT or DM me on TFTV (Link here), I'm not paying up to people who cheat by using more than 1 card

Double Edit: I fucked it up a bit, particularly "team dies on viaduct week" as viaduct week no longer exists so make that one "juju autism derail" as that seems like a sufficient replacement

The Caller's card will be kept updated here

I know listing tryouts on an LFP is kind of not useful as many people are trying out for multiple teams, but I'd just like people to have an idea of who they may be playing with and the caliber of player I'd like to pick up depending on who ends up sticking around as at the moment it's just me and carter gauging interest from other LFT players.

Scouts: LFP/Chaseduck/Antecedent?/Lou?
Pocket: Carter
Roamer: Console-
Demoman: ???
Medic: DomTheWhiteGuy???
Subs: Pont

I'm trying to make a team that is going to move forward together to IM in the next season or two, ideally going at least 11-5 in the regular season. I will be looking for players who are willing to scrim Monday-Friday, and team demo review. I'll only be doing TFTV production/casting myself once a week (and only on non-match nights), and as I'm currently moving more towards a scheduler/talent recruiter role in EssentialsTF I should be available every weekend. I am also aware that towards the end of the season I have a tendency to lose motivation, especially if I end up playing medic, so I've asked fygg from OMNI5 to mentor the team, keeping us focused on winning as well as helping refine our map pool and help us in demo reviews. Picking up players who are down to play other games together and do team-building stuff (chill in mumble, etc) is a big focus for me with this team.

Warning: wall of text below concerning me playing non-medic on a high open team

TL;DR: I am aware I am not of equivalent skill on roamer compared to the people I'm trying out, and while I really really badly wanna play soldier, i'm down to switch to med if it's the only thing stopping people from trying out.

hey i thought your profile was very visually appealing and thought we would get along

one one end, adding a map could be a nice way to try out new maps that are up and coming like reckoner, kalinka, propaganda, bagel, cardinal, and synthetic, especially seeing we just had a new map tournament (albeit was a european one, not NA)

on the other hand reducing the map pool so granary_abortion is out would be neat

regardless of what happens progress!

will also be really neat to see team's skill level revolve more around their map pool

if you play, learning about/fixing guitars and pedals is something pretty interesting, you learn a lot about woodworking/wiring/soldering and finishing a product and having a nice good-as-new guitar/bass is really satisfying. (paging beelthazus about actual luthier work) Plus having a guitar you built or restored yourself is a cool talking point!

honestly learning to repair anything is really informative/helpful, and can teach you a lot. Find whatever interests you (PCs, instruments, electronics, furniture, appliances, etc.) and learning how to fix them can be fun and help you gain more in-depth knowledge about that particular thing

5:53 PM - Console-: hmu when CSGO PUGs are done
7:04 PM - Console-: i meant running lol
7:04 PM - Console-: just realized
7:04 PM - o5.wolsne is now Online.
7:05 PM - o5.wolsne: All good
7:05 PM - o5.wolsne: I'll be home sometime soon hopefully
7:04 PM - Console-: lit
7:19 PM - o5.wolsne is now Online.
7:20 PM - o5.wolsne: I actually won't be home for an hour

Guessing within ~30mins from now

i'm up for it sure

haven't played with carter since s24, but was fun to play with and a good roamer at the time. Makes some sick edits, too.

please stop talking out of your ass. We literally do not know how the majority of NA stacks up against EU, as recently the only times there's been international representation is when FROYO murdered mostly non-prem teams (save lowpander) at ESU community rumble and a kaptainless Se7en played at Rewind II. The main point of sending teams over is to be able to have more than one opportunity a year for international competition, and to be able to actually see how top teams stack up in each region. Ideally teams with orgs (Velocity, Se7en, Ascent, etc.) are able to do international travel with their prize winnings and sales of team merch, which has been getting a lot more prevelant nowadays, so I don't imagine community financial strain being as heavy as it once was (save for production and talent going over, which afaik is being at least partially covered by ETF and is otherwise on the individual)

Mainly looking for good/funny quotes from anything other than twitter, for that you can refer to http://www.teamfortress.tv/32408/favorite-b4nny-tweet

good one from ESEA GF interview

Habib: *inaudible earrape gibberish* YEA, THAT WAS A PRETTY GOOD SERIES, UM-
b4nny: habib, not this…

In reality though TwiiKuu hit the nail right on the fucking head. While the folks at ESA have done a lot to help our community, iSeries has been and always will be where it all started. Fuck, if it weren't for i46 I don't think I would have ever even taken interest in the game and gotten to meet and experience all of the amazing things our community has to offer, and gotten to become a producer/caster. I know I speak at least for myself in saying that iSeries is irreplacable just because of the history of the event. Also

NA to NA is more expensive, at least going coast to coast.
