I like that the new QF is useful enough to truly allow for charge type cycling. Would really test the flexibility of the team using it and the team facing it. One problem might be that games could boil down to QF vs QF, but I personally don't see this happening too often.

I'd like to see some scrims with it across the skill spectrum.

Do you think it would be possible in the future for tombstones to be customizable? Having little doo-dads or something else might be interesting, like leaving small statues of the class you killed instead of the tombstone. Hell you could even have strange or unusual ones.

Have none of you ever watched a Joe Goes video before?

Recent personal events have made me lean much more in favor of backing up for a team than accepting a starting position. I just simply do not have the time to help build a team from scratch in the coming weeks. My apologies.

MY WISHLIST:
- 100 damage grenade directs
- BRING BACK THE OVERHEALER. I HATE THE QUICK-FIX.

Ghost befriended me without hesitation and has been an amazing dude since I've known him. I've already paypal'd him what I could spare but I want to help in any way I can.

Ghost, you and me are still gonna make that goddamn juggalo island. I'll remember for both of us if need be.

This isn't a community recruitment forum, sorry bud.

You know full well that I too believe Milky Holmes is the best anime known to mankind

#JUNCTIONs15

My last team went kaput. I want to try again, though.

I play the one-eyed black man with that one gun everyone hates at a mid-open level. I'm not terribly picky about what league I join (ESEA/UGC) although I'd like to get in on the experience I need to get better at 6s. If there is one thing I absolutely want out of a team, it's solidity in terms of players. I don't want a repeat of playing with a different pair of soldiers every week, so I'd prefer it if the roster I join is reasonably solid. I like going over maps and demos, playing other games, etc (KILLING FLOOR SUMMER UPDATE YES) too.

I don't mind starting or backing up, but I'd prefer to back up at this point because I have to boner up on math for the rest of the summer and during my first semester and play mathematics catch-up. I have a server and a mumble server if either are needed.

Please don't be afraid to talk to me. It's frustrating getting added, accepting the request, and then having the person never talk to me/talk to me in the worst possible situation.

The problem with this is player willingness. I was able to count on one and a half hands how many IM+ players actually came to play NMWs when we started to get the ball rolling. There's no drive for anyone higher on the echelon to play outside of "get more good maps into ESEA rotation". Even during off-season people weren't too keen on playing because let's face it - wouldn't you want to play something else besides TF2 after working/scrimming with your team for a while? Even if you wanted to pug on a custom map, would you really have an enjoyable time playing with the majority of volunteers who are on a lower skill echelon?

Going back to your original point, the achille's heel of getting higher skilled players to play in a semi-public (in the fact that it's generally people from gotfrag/tf.tv) custom map pug is that there will be an overwhelming majority of lower level volunteers who actually want to play in comparison. I don't really remember anyone so terribly new that playing on vanilla/vanilla-like maps like cp_quake_badlands was difficult for them outside of that Musikal kid (may he never EVER return), however. I'm not sure how things went after I got the boot from PS and did other things for a while, though, so if you have any juicy details on problems that came up in the future of the pugs and the spin-off group fill me in.

I still have creator control over the New Map Weekends group, a 14 slot server, and a mumble from my T:A/Hawken/NS2 days that's starting to lose traffic (25 slots). Waxpax may not play TF2 anymore, but if anyone would like to restart the custom map pugs I can quickly and easily lay the foundation to get them started again. I can scour TF2maps for maps that look interesting/have potential to build a map pool as well.
