just get rid of them permanently, this just gives an even bigger excuse for them to be like "look guys ive changed, see this i paid my dues" and then continue to cheat and waste everyone's time

afaik the problem is kirsty/soda has all the files on her hard drive but has been super busy (been offering to help edit for a long time now but its tough without stuff being on the cloud)
since it's been almost a year i guess ill post what i took at least: https://www.elliottower.com/stories/insomnia69/

For what it’s worth I don’t see why there couldn’t be different severity for hl vs 6s, if they are more tolerant of ex cheaters reforming that’s fine, RGL should just poll people after this season to gauge things. My guess is 6s players would argue for longer bans (can u imagine someone cheating at a LAN and trying to play two years later), we’re already plagued with cancelled lans, top players leaving and people not taking invite as seriously as before, the absolute last thing this game needs is leniency on cheaters being another reason dissuading people from playing. The league is already very strict for other offenses, it seems perfectly reasonable to be extra strict on cheating for the same reasons (legitimacy, sponsors etc)

get this post to 50 upvotes and we cut him for posting that

2 year cheating ban "first offense" sir there should not be any other offenses, remove them from the game permanently (or 5 years at least)

i have a crazy idea, what if u guys did a New Survey... now that it's been used in eu for many years and not changed gameplay besides quality of life improvements

the soldier gunboats self damage thing was lumped in with it i think and that one could actually affect gameplay (but soldier class is simply countered by scout anyways so who cares), at the very least get the teammate collision stuff in

one of the most memorable was getting absolutely dismantled by yomps on an hour and a half long badlands match (and the entire rest of that season, he was so fucking good, rest in peace man)

another was getting a new mouse (fuck u logitech) that had a more sensitive mouse click and accidentally popping uber in a stalemate vs froyo black, we were tied 1-1 on sunshine (and i think it was in playoffs, when we had won the first map on granary), after which point team morale completely disappeared and we got giga rolled

yet another invite playoffs match was tied 4-4 on gully last and somehow my phone misheard my comm as 'hey google' and started blabbering some shit, which happened at the exact same instant that the enemy sniper peeked for the hero shot, so i died and we lost the match (we won the third map tho, thanks google)

another was IM grand finals, my first ever important game, where i started off having Zero ubers in the first half: one drop to a spy, one drop to synchronized rocket spam, and another to a sniper :) but we somehow came back and won (get owned ckj)

hi muma

yosh, hedge, casual and pfart (stupid alias but big Homie) are there as well as i think antecedent (?) and alex.exe (altho i think hes in college somewhere else)

not actually in base game but high tier mechanic nonetheless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiLQ82XqmCs

at the very least it should be 5 years imo, 2 years goes by so fast

definitely agree with permabans though, the problem is we pussy foot around and let them have the hope of playing in the future, so they stick around trying to find ppl to scrim and cheat against (should be stricter about banning them from the tftv/rgl scrim discords as well, fuck accidentally scrimming The Cheater Team after ur scrim is cancelled)

petition for them to add the RPG from tf2classic
dmg would need to be lowered (145 point blank is a little insane) but the arcing rockets mechanic is honestly so much fun id love for it to be in tf2

Didn't see a thread for this yet so figured I'd make one myself. Post your pics from RGB 5 LAN below.

Here's some pics I took, a few at the venue and some at my airbnb: https://elliottower.pixieset.com/rgb5/
Would've done a google photos album but ran out of storage lol, plus this lets you do a slideshow and i enabled prints at no markup ($1 for a 4x6), figured it might be a good meme for ppl who wanted a polaroid but couldn't get one

im mildly traumatized from being locked in screams basement at ATL lan but he clicks on gamers good and so long as he stays away from margaritas and the direct hit frickmynick (imagine trying to change ur alias) will click gamers good too

also if el farmo is vaati like im assuming, he was in the legendary afterglow first try jump video 10 years ago playing pyro so he's clearly a talented gamer

as others have said its def better to reward total stats just like how esea pugs used to give small prizes for most ubers/kills/whatever

highest dpm or kills per minute is a bad metric cause it depends so heavily on the people in the server, and could be gamed by someone getting ppl to feed them and then never playing again
