(Thanks to TFTV mods for unlocking this so I can respond)

Sorry if it took a while to respond to this whole shitshow of a thread, but I have to carefully choose what I'm to say next because I'd really like to put this to bed. I'll try to keep it short.

I almost certainly came off like a rambling lunatic yesterday when I made this thread, and that's probably because I was very upset and miserable after the whole experience.

I've calmed down and decided to write this response to maybe clarify some things here and put it to rest.

Firstly-

The player "lol" and me getting DDoS'd are linked. I don't know how someone could not see this, but I'll say it myself, again, in clearer terms- I got DDoS'd *three times*, and gave up on playing scrims/tryouts. I went to play pubs, and this "lol" player showed up within minutes. I then went to MGE on my personal MGE server, where he knew I could ban him instantly- and it got DDoS'd within 30 seconds. This is all in the twitch vod I mentioned in my original post.

Secondly-

Yesterday, I was playing pubs on the furry pound. I was minding my own business, offline on twitch, and the same "lol" player from 3 days ago showed up, at around tick 115000 of this first demo. I knew he was cheating, because he had already done so in pubs against me before, and I pinged an admin in the furry pound's public discord server. They looked at it for a bit, while I played through this second demo, and around tick 55000 of this third demo, he was banned. I feel like I should mention - by the end of that game, there were already at least 2 people in the server who I've encountered before and then blocked for harassment reasons. Surely a coincidence.

Thirdly-

After this "lol" player got banned (on a VPN IP), it took less than 15 minutes for Scratchh to show up. He shows up at around tick 31000 in this fourth demo, and him and his now 3/4ish other friends (who are almost certainly all blocked, probably years ago) just fucking target me.

This continued up until the end of this fifth demo, at which point I turned off TF2.

If you think after this shit that Scratchh is an "innocent uwu eboy" or whatever the fuck you want to say - You are dead fucking wrong.

Don't trust him or take anything he says at face value, because him and his friends have been doing this shit for literally years.

The literal actual first time I met him, he pretended to be trans to trick me into talking with him about trans shit, and I only found about about it because someone happened to be in a discord with him and his friends showed me screenshots of them privately laughing at me for being a decent human being and taking people at their word.

I've had other members of the community reach out and tell me that Scratchh and Dogo/Drugstoner420 have been constantly harassing them as well, and I just can't fucking stand the fucking gaggle of clowns that go around and do this shit.

I've been targeted in other ways outside of TF2 as well with this garbage.

Almost every time I stream on twitch anymore, I see a transphobic follow notification on my OBS sidebar. Typically it's something like "trannyhunter420" or "fucktrannyniggers1488", although sometimes people will have generic usernames to bait a response out of me, and then drop the shit on me in chat. These same chatters have also threatened to "exterminate" [sic] me.

I've had to lock down my disused discord with several different safeguards against these people, and I have to screen everyone who tries to come in, because otherwise I get these morons on alts mass pinging the whole server list or just typing slurs over and over and over in whatever chat they can find.

I can't even record (poor) speedrun gameplay of my favorite game without Steam's DnD feature on, because I have to worry about people adding me and "retardtrannyhunter99" showing up in game (because hat in time captures overlays regardless of OBS settings).

I really don't even care what the reason for this shit is at this point, be it transphobia or something else.

I'm tired of being stalked online and the only thing I feel that I can do at this point is post this and then summarily ignore these dumbfucks for the rest of my life.

I'm sorry if this or the whole thread comes off as a vent post- that's probably because they both are.

Add me on Discord (stephanie#9999) if you'd like to discuss this further with me, for now I'm done publicly speaking about it.

Thanks

^ old thread

so i dont really have the energy to write an properly formatted essay about this shit - but i got ddossed 2 days ago. it hit one of my servers and i got a message from my server provider about it. no biggie. i played pubs after the ddoses because i was bored. why not? tf2's mildly fun in pubs. a cheating player shows up. his name was "lol". i stopped playing pubs, went to play MGE with my friends on my mge servers. instantly it gets ddossed. i luckily turned it off within like 10 seconds because im not a stupid person and i was worried it would happen, so i had the server console open in another window. ctrl+c that shit and its fine. i then played hat in time, which is a single player game. everything was fine. i turned off the stream and went to bed or something, dont remember.

i was playing tf2 today, offline on twitch, on my *own*, on a community server (furrypound yeet). same "lol" guy shows up. i get an admin to ban him because hes obviously cheating. another player shows up, starts focusing me hard. more ppl start focusing me, hard. maybe im bad, i dunno, but typically 5 ppl dont run at you no matter where u are on the map, right?

anyway one of the ppl was named "FurryFoxCock | TRADE.TF". i thought that was a little strong, even for a furry pound player, so i checked it out.

full chat log of since i started tf2 to writing this right now here

i dont typically throw around the word "genocide" lightly but this very strongly smells like the beginning of a cultural genocide to me

spiral knights, although i hear the new game experience kinda blows now

v fun game, sank thousands of hrs into it when i was like 14, still play it from time to time

Hi all,

Due to lack of community interest and developer issues, TFCL has decided to suspend operations for the near future and probably beyond.

We had very few teams sign up for our 6s league, even after extending registration by a month, and unfortunately it makes no sense, financially or otherwise, to continue operating with our current structure.

Furthermore, our main developer completely vanished off the internet, taking most of TFCL's functionality with him. If any of you have any information about Computer, and whether he is OK, please contact me or Sidular as soon as possible.

For any refund requests, please message Sidular on Discord at Sidular#7410 . He is currently going through some IRL things, so please be patient.

For any inquires other than refunds, add me on Steam or Discord (stephanie#9999).

If there's any update or change to this information, I will let people know as it happens.

Thanks from all of us at TFCL.

Special thanks to:

not that i disagree with you, but just saying, plenty of (stupid) ppl buy unusuals as only a status symbol and not to wear

request for

dm6.stephanie.lgbt:27215 <- dm

bb1.stephanie.lgbt:27215 <- bball

if you could remove the old bball servers thatd be great, bball tf staff have no interest in the old ones anymore

couple of updates-

the spawns for this map were added to the newest version of mgemod on github

https://github.com/Lange/MGEMod/commit/6295d77952b982de89ca24449989e18865aa1370

im still working on new spawns

mge server updated to 200 tickrate, have fun

connect mge.stephanie.lgbt

i added bball stuff and I renamed the golden cap configs .

more updates coming soon, im heavily considering what wiet posted but stay tuned

alright folks so i've been doing some testing and ive decided to open up a new server that runs at 200 ticks per second.

at the moment it works fine (though it eats a lot of CPU) and i'd like to get some players on it to test both load and stability.

i've installed groundfix as well to fix any ramp bugs that might happen because the higher tps

also, i'll be updating the other dm servers to have better networking settings

i feel like i should stress that this is purely experimental and may change, break, or be turned off at any time. it is purely to see if the game benefits from higher tickrates or if the bugs outweigh the positives.

put any feedback in this thread please thx ok bye

connect dm6.stephanie.lgbt:27215

i love this guy on yt, he talks mostly about older technology and why it failed/succeeded, give him a watch

No.

Also, would there be any interest in me maybe setting up a high tickrate server? It would be a new one, not a mod to a current one.

iirc it was a thing for a small amt of time, courtesy of twiikuu's plugin (thanks twiikuu).

re: the dm steam groups

I'll look into it, I'm a part of the late night DM group already, I'll see if I can maybe get moderator or something on the other ones

re:

what do you mean by this? I sent u a fr on steam about it

if people are being dumb jackasses i might just install a calladmin plugin on all of my servers

edit: for now if ppl are being idiots please record a demo and send me a screenshot of the status command while you and they are on the server

iirc jarateking's version of headsfeet with cleantf2+ removes as many as possible, some of the newer ones are left tho
