I'd personally be interested in how you're going to structure your client/server interactions. In particular how you're planning to keep everything synced for 1k+ concurrent users, because that's the part I see tf2center mess up once in a while.

teamfortress.tv - the home of competitive team fortress 2 the way it used to exist 6 years ago

did you just go from some guy writing #killyourself in chat to the issue of suicide worldwide then from that same guy getting permabanned on tf2center to rehabilitation in society are you like the god of hyperboles?

that's the thing
tf2center caught on because it came at a time when tf2lobby was completely broken and down 95% of the time
the majority of the users don't even know about the drama or don't care as long as it doesn't affect them, even if you end up with a carbon copy of tf2center without shit admins, how do you convince people to switch to a website with an almost nonexistent playerbase?
you need at least better features or a better UX, and on the technical side tf2c is really solid

now imagine doing that and equipping the RL in mid air

they don't use Fisher-Yates anymore

Isn't the "bug" the sensor recalibrating mid game?
Because I've only ever heard that being reported for the FM and the KPM. Zowie, Mionix, SS rival etc. were never affected afaik. Sure, they have good return policies, but that's coupled with selling by far the least reliable mouse at that price range, so it kind of evens out. Anything else, really? These claims about the sensor feeling more raw on those two mice are not only unverifiable but incredibly obnoxious when they are constantly given as facts.

One of the earlier versions of yahud had a small team colored spot in the corner and that was so stupidly convenient when I wasn't sure which team i was on

I don't know why people quote that guy's rants as facts so frequently when it's all completely baseless and subjective.

we found a correlation between answering online surveys and joining mumble req lobbies so there's that

It really all comes down to teamplay.
The only thing you can blame this game for is killing community servers. This idea shouldn't be foreign for comp players, but communication is much easier with people you play with regularly than with complete strangers. Back in 2008, I played on a community server where everyone knew each other and what classes they were good at. I even bought a proper mic because most regulars used one.
Most people would be willing to play medic once in a while for a team that's going to listen and won't waste their uber. Even team balance could be adressed when everyone knew who the good players were and we could just scramble when it was obvious one side was stacked.
All this talk about banning weapons is complete nonsense. So is assuming people don't use voice chat on pubs because there's a small delay 99.9% of players don't even know about. Get a bunch of regulars willing to talk and play as a team and any slight imbalance this game can have won't even matter.
And if you're going to go full control freak, don't bother writing fined-tuned whitelists and complex autobalance plugins. Get a couple of mods and ban players who obviously don't listen to team comms. Much simpler and so much more effective.

yo i'm not a retard no way i'm installing this sketchy crap *updates esea client*

as far as philosophy goes anime already has got you covered

it reminds me of the extremer movies.

A separate windows install only with tf2 and the esea malware is legitimately more convenient than installing/uninstalling every week. Better yet you could not pay 15 bucks to willingly install malware.
