last night they had johnmilter on scout and saam on med instead of split

EEEVIL bkn???

No idea what those commands are or what they do but I've found that after the first time I launch in dx8 or 9, if I keep - dxlevel in the launch options it messes with the mumble overlay like you described. If you can't get it to work I don't see why you wouldn't just go into mumble and disable it-there's no point in an overlay that blocks the kill feed. I've found mumble overlays to be super fucky and half the time even if I do everything the same as usual it doesn't show up, so it might just be that mumble is broken or something lol.

Though for the most part this is true, it triggers me when team A wins mid and has 4 up vs the 3 up of team B, but instead of continuing to chase and potentially wipe them, one of the scouts jerks off on middle capping while his team attempts to win the team fight without him. There's nothing wrong with killing them and then capping afterwards, especially given scout is the best class in the game it is pretty useful to chase meds even if it means you have to cap later (or have your roamer switch to pain train and cap it as he respawns).
On the topic of playing pocket on middle, don't think you always need to jump in and initiate something for your team. Especially on maps like gullywash, it's often straight up suicidal to attend. Otherwise to jump into the enemy team because there are usually 6 players grouped up on one side ready to kill whoever feeds into them. That being said, standing on the low ground and spamming/attracting spam to your team can also sometimes be detrimental (for example if your roamer is bombing or something like that). You can bait your roamer a little bit by having him bomb in and you jump in slightly afterwards and shoot the dudes shooting your teammate or who he's shooting. I think there's a few old vods on boinks youtube of technosex talking about double bombs on mid if you're unfamiliar with the concept.
In pugs and stuff when I play pocket, I sometimes find that it's more effective to go gunboats and do a roamer style jump and attempt to make a distraction so your team can push across point and shoot the dudes looking at you. On most mods at least, neither soldier should be taking too many heals (besides arrows and initial buffs) so the role of pocket and roamer tend to blur a little, though at a lower level it may be better for you to try to babysit your medic if you don't 100 percent trust your scouts to hit all their shots/avoid tunnel visioning.

Go slemnish!

Anyone carpooling from massachusetts? Would like to go but don't have a car :(
I'm at Umass Amherst, dunno if anyone going is anywhere near but maybe its not too far out of the way to stop by and give a friendo a ride

yep, cheesy macgyver is scouting in his place
edit: ninjad by viper

update: looks like tino can't make it so i'm going to be on camera and flatline will be casting

if you are really lazy you can make a .bat file that you double click to switch out your custom folder in order to add/remove prec
so you make one folder and name it custom_with_prec or something and then another named custom_without_prec
then in order to create the .bat file you just open a notepad and put this in and save as a .bat or windows batch file

rmdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom"
mklink /j "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom_with_prec"

and name it prec.bat
and then make another one with this instead and name it whatever you want (prec_off or something should be fine)

rmdir "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom"
mklink /j "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\custom_without_prec"

dr shadowpuppet told me he uses a similar symbolic link for replacing his custom folder in order to do tftv casts but figured out the logic to have just one .bat file that toggles it

if you want to get really fancy you can also make shortcuts to launch the game in different dxlevels (for example, if you normally play on dx8 with prec but need to use dx9 and without prec in order to play matchmaking)
all you have to do is make a new shortcut (right click -> new -> shortcut) and direct it to steam.exe
then open its properties (right click -> properties) and change the target from

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe"

to

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steam.exe" -applaunch 440 -console -novid -h 1080 -w 1920 -dxlevel 81 -full

adjust accordingly if you have steam installed on another drive or to change it to whichever launch options you want, the important part is that the directory for steam is in quotes and afterwards you have -applaunch 440 to launch tf2
iirc having -dxlevel in your launch options after the first time you change it makes it take forever to alt tab (at least for fullscreen) so to use this you would just put the .bat files and separate steam shortcuts (for the launch options you want to change) into one folder and then in order to play mm you just double click the bat file, then double click the steam shortcut and it will launch tf2, then close the game and relaunch it normally from within steam (you may not need to do this if you use windowed)

mae and the meyymeyys vs running from mustard is happening tonight but unfortunately mustardoverlord will not be able to cast so instead it will be me and dreamboat casting with tino on production.
