if you're affected by these rules, you should take the two weeks off to reevaluate how you treat other people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

general dislike for rgl admining aside, this is an obvious move forward

PLEASE help out and coach tonight - im not around to help rogue & it seems like a bunch of our regular coaches arent around

Bump as a reminder for the upcoming season that private channels are free if you'd like. Please reach out to me by posting in this thread (or DMing my on discord, KevinIsPwn#1337) if you'd like one.

Also if an EU/OZ/Asia/Wherever player wants to pay for a new region ($10 a month) let me know, and I'll get eu.voice.tf / etc set up. lesgoooo

Yes, but you can come play hitscan if your ping isn't too bad. You can also spectate our weekly games or join our discord (http://discord.newbie.tf/).

As someone who has experienced hundreds of people casually appreciating work that I was doing in comp tf2 back in the day with a dozen or so people that felt seemingly abject hatred toward me for some reason, it's not something that most people are capable of just "shaking off". It really really hurts, and I can only imagine that is intensified when that minority is literally hundreds/ thousands of people.

Just wondering to those that have played this for a while in actual games: does the "uncanny valley" feeling of this map mess with anyone else as much as it does me?

This is obviously not a criticism or anything, rather an observation. After spending hundreds (potentially even 1k hours) of hours on the original map (my OG inhouse pug group played gully religiously back in '12-'14), something just feels deeply "off" when playing this new version. I felt this weird feeling of unease when it came up in DM before the cup yesterday, so much so that I had to go to another server.

Is this something that you guys have felt goes away after playing it for a bit?

edit: to clarify, I think what you're doing is amazing & this is not meant to say "i don't like it" or "let's stay in 2010 and never make anything better" lol. just want to see if this is a feeling felt by more folks than just me/ the couple other gamers i was in mumble with at the time

Had a bootleg audio setup for like 6 months my senior year of high school where i had to listen to myself for my mic to work. Got used to it after like 3 weeks or so and now it never bothers me.

Yeah, it's definitely wild that people still don't have this set up yet. That said, it's important to point out specific instances, so that people are encouraged to get it sorted!!

The website is a security mess at the moment, for more reasons than the plaintext pw. I would advise against signing up until they confirm and prove these issues have all been resolved in a post.

A) if they are at all able to know what my password is, they aren't storing it as an encrypted hash in any meaningful way. i hope their definition of resolving this is redoing their entire password system rather than just not making it clear to the user their pw's are stored this way. it'd actually be better to leave it as is than just removing the display
B) vpn, dw about ip
