This man drove me to Orlando and let me stay at his hotel for free when I was broke and wanted to go to FLan 2015, and didn't ask for a single dollar in return, and even drove me back

He was the nicest person I've ever met in this game.

Is it weird that I bled it out, digged it deeper, just to throw it away?

I've been having fun with this bot for the past 20 minutes, there's so many other commands you can do as well jesus

It'd depend on what it looks like for me, honestly.

Yikes, I didn't know how much of a difference a shade made in a color until I looked at what you got vs. what you were supposed to get.

Hopefully you get this resolved soon.

Ok, I just finished talking to Nicell and brought up a couple of points to him, a lot that were ignored because there's nothing they can do, but I told him that these things would be foreseeable in the future.

One point was the captains and how there aren't enough. I was told that there are plenty of captains, and that pugs would not die. I gave a literal example that happened TODAY where 36+ players were added for a solid half hour and no singular captain was added up, and we had to wait for another pug to end for those captains to add up as one. I then proposed a solution to this by either auto-picking a captain after a certain amount of players added up, or asking for volunteers, and was then told to "not worry about it".

I then brought up the point about the skill-level of captains. Let me remind you that there are a lot of specific captains chosen to be captains, and the number of pug wins do not matter at the moment. Go ahead and look at the stats of the pug overview page, it's incredibly inconsistent on who and who doesn't have captain, and Nicell refused to explain this. I was told that a ton of people have captain and that people still complain about bad picks, and responded that he should just do an ultimatum and just make every high-skill level player or leader a captain. He disagreed, saying it was a bad idea, and I responded saying that if he thought it was a bad idea, to just do it to prove a point to these players, since all Platinum players have been asking this for a while. If he's wrong, a win for the service. If he's right, then he proves a point, and the playerbase will try to figure out another solution. He disagreed and told me to move on.

I brought up other issues that weren't a big deal like the site UI, and how the chat isn't really well properly placed, as it's a pop-up window that a lot of people don't even read, etc, but those aren't major things. (The site is in beta, but it's still potential to be an issue)
He disagreed with every possible issue I brought up EXCEPT for EU players being an issue, saying that it will be "looked at". That's it, that's all, and the conversation was ended right around there. Let me point out, though, that my rant towards nicell did include a couple of curse-words like "fucking", and was told that it "accusatory" because of that.

edit: I actually talked to Nicell again, and I came off as an ass. All is good.

eus go away

/s

as someone who watches pretty much every "A" Pug of this service, I don't understand how EU's got Captain over any other NA player. It just makes pugs rolls as EU's have no clue who NA players are, or, as mustard said, they pick their EU buddies and just get rolled.

It just slows this service down.

good job, thanks man

Some people under-estimate how much players would actually touch MM in this game if it had, at the very least, a proper ELO and ranking system. This is what everyone was expecting when matchmaking was first "released", and it fell hard on it's face because it wasn't matchmaking at all, it was just something that helped kill Community Servers, a big aspect of TF2.

It took a over a year just for this update, I think everyone here is incredibly optimistic for predicting an update coming out that adds exactly what the game needs in just a simple 2-4 months.

i have no idea what drove this man to say this, but it is sad.

This sounds more like a rant post than anything

speaking of memes, can anyone tell me how the demoman-glock meme started?
