it was posted ironically cause it was super lame and there was 80 minutes of spy!!!

WHO ELSE

reconstruction era, pre-great awakening

I tell people but it has taken a few years to conquer the shame. and sometimes I fudge the numbers on the # of hours lol

very cool, definitely useful. just sent in a pr to add it to https://github.com/tf2-software-enthusiasts/awesome-tf2-devs

Good advice. Also how many very vocal players you have. You need at least 2-3, ideally more. But a quiet flank scout fragger or two will be fine. Also the fact that all times are in EST

agree with everything you have said

part of the problem is that a lot of trash talk is deserved. in an extreme example, if i told soapy how better to play roamer, he should shut me the fuck down.

players with their legacy cemented by the top100 list generally don't get that much lip, but outside of those ppl, we are fighting verbal wars to see who deserves any respect.

what if we all deserve respect. we have the perfect thing to settle our disputes: the match server

I agree it might go over people's heads, so i'm advocating to a "lets warn newbies at the very least" sort of thing. Like the RGL sucks guy who just posted could have used a warning before being tossed into the jungle.

Hurts to say, but because of developer neglect, I think that our community is a little worse that average. I played CSGO at university collegiate level. Collegiate level essentially means that the teams aren't as good (most uni's have at most 1-2 players that might go semipro, most teams ~esea open), but it also means that the older players (college seniors, like me) make sure everyone treats their enemies with respect, like in soccer. Anyone who played team sports as kid knows that everything is more fun when you treat your opponents with respect.

The experience of "someone i'm forced to play with constantly is continually ruthlessly talking shit to me" is not uncommon in the slightest, but it in other communities its completely unheard of.

I honestly think it would benefit new players to know that the main reward for winning/getting better is bragging rights, so inevitably it is a bit toxic. Like the new guy who posted yesterday after rgl pugs and was smacked in the head with it

Not to derail thread too much, but I think new players deserve a warning.
It's not a horrible thing either, most team sports have a toxic side. look at how ppl get into fistfights in baseball and it's fun asf
