goodnight sweet prince

that's a big if

me every time i die to a trap after my teammates walk through it and don't clear it
some stupid shit i say: "yo get in were fucking farming them"
"this uber is a non-juicer"
"this is an aids uber"
"stop feeding these cancer patients"
"yo we have full ad this is going to be a fatty uber"
"im clowning on them"
"I'm dead... wait nvm they missed me rofll"
"there's 2 soldier bots pushing big door"
"just pull the old switcheroo and take their side"

chiz likes to say "let's do the meme mid" or "we're browsing them"
connor says the phrase "tbh fam" every other sentence
wrech likes to say "did you say FEED????"

the developer snapshot of mumble (1.3.1) has this as it's default skin
it also has a lot of nice features like the ability to locally adjust people's volumes (as an alternative to locally muting them)

he revolutionized the "shitty 12 y/o roamer main captaining to avoid getting fatkidded in pugs" strat (which has since been adopted by the likes of neon charmander and mr bacon)

of all the shitty roamers and 12 y/o team captains I've played with (and gotten mutinied) he's probably the least retarded, but that doesn't mean much

last i played with him he either didn't pay attention and fed or decided to take add meds in order to focus more on the game, which resulted in him being super hyper and then not comming

edit: this being said he isn't bad at the game and given the state of open (cloudmaker playing roamer in grand finals???) he could probably do well on a highish open team

incoming rant
why the FUCK does this site randomly ban 6 out of the 9 maps right off the bat?
i feel like this is a bug but if it's not it definitely needs to be rethought

i think i can speak for everyone in saying that when rng leaves you with a choice between pugging reckoner, metalworks or granary you know it's going to be shit

if it were up to me I would either ban a minimal number of maps randomly (maybe 2-3) and allow captains to narrow it down further, or add back the ability to rock the vote
rtv worked perfectly fine in literally every other pug service that has been used in the past (most notably pugme, tf2pug.na and tf2mix) because people actually do not want to play the same map over and over again
as dingo once pointed out, it's astounding how people figure out how to make each subsequent 'new pug site' worse than all of its predecessors
the reason pugna's irc bot was good was not because it had aesthetically appealing visuals or that it had a bunch of fancy extra features, but it was simple: it did what people needed and nothing more

I feel like in terms of priorities the main thing should be people actually enjoying the pug rather than arbitrarily enforcing rules for more "diversity" which actually ends up with people banning reckoner and granary 95% of the time but being forced to play sunshine metalworks or badlands
i would be very interested to see some statistics for the overall number of pugs played on each map to see if the system actually works the way it's supposed to, but that being said I feel like the majority of people would rather be able to choose which map they play (along with which sub player they get...) than try to achieve the 'perfect' balance of diversity
i actually cant remember the last time ive played a pug on snakewater and i play way too much on this fucking site rofl

edit: actually even if the system was kept as is one possible solution to the problem could just be to allow for rtvs but only if there is, for example, a 7/12 majority players who don't want to play the map (though if it were just to be a majority if 10 people joined fast they could rtv even if the last two people don't want to change the map)

muma to bait

i hear this guy got away with that pretty well

sandbaggers to win again

definitely depends on how much money you want to spend and what games you want to play
tf2 is mostly cpu bottlenecked but a quad i5 should do fine and unless you have tons of money to throw away i see no real point in buying a new cpu

panda express is some top tier shit

very skilled at the art of farming tf2 players

stochapstick hype

when i last played with him he had a huge drive to improve as a player and DM wise he's been definitely making strides, not sure about his gamesense or mental game is going but mechanics wise he is a pretty solid soldier
would do well on a high open team or perhaps even a low IM team looking to stick together and get better over a few seasons
dont let him lead a team tho as others have said

was he actually being bottlenecked by his ram? rofl thats crazy
