All French serveme.tf servers are protected and the VanillaTV servers are on a 10Gb link.

We've been in this situation before in previous ETF2L seasons without the 'greed' of betters, just people being dicks for the lulz. Worst case we'll end up with VPN-ed servers + players, but that still leaves the players as the weakest link, because if only one or two of their IP addresses are known, you can still ruin a match.

From the description, I don't think it was a DDoS yesterday. You just time out if someone floods your connection with a couple hundred megabit of junk traffic, not have the 900ms ping of a porn torrenter.
Why DDoS the best player if you can just DDoS the medic and ruin every uber a team ever tries to build....

You probably didn't do a very good job of convincing me to spend time on customizing a free server for an unproven plugin just so it could take twice the CPU cycles for the benefit of a non-paying user.

I don't mind running experiments with new plugins as long as there's some structure behind it. Back when A:R was introduced there was a group of players that wanted to run test matches to see if it would be interesting, so I added it to serveme.tf, I could see a similar thing happening for this plugin if there's a similar push from the players willing to test it. Add me on steam :)

It's just a HTTP GET with basic auth to http://live.fakkelbrigade.eu/pages/streamer_stats.json?match_id=some-number-here

There's a json endpoint for the cheat feed that you could parse yourself in the python code, here's a sample of its ugly output: https://gist.github.com/Arie/d264b39052919571f82f

Gratz gentlemen, after all these months of discussions and letter writing I almost expected nothing to happen, glad I'm wrong :D

Woooaaaah :D

This game is amazing. For the most fun, play it with 4 xbox controllers at someone's house, because the online multiplayer ca be a little buggy. Also grabbing a friend with a golden hook while laughing in his face is the best.

Play it until you're sick of it and switch to Gang Beasts. Repeat till 5AM.

It failed because we had a free alternative that was better than the paid one, ETF2L.

I'm rooting so hard for NodeCG, built by talented people from scratch and they open source w/e they can.

Proud to have worked with them and so happy to see their names on productions outside of TF2.

Go away XD

0 viewers let's go!

I have the EVGA GTX 970 SC 2.0 because it's one of the few that fits in a Silverstone SG05 case. Has a lot of coil whine unfortunately, tested that in 2 different PCs. It is quiet and doesn't run hot, during 2D stuff the fans don't even spin. Other than the coil whine, I'm happy with it.

Merry Christmas my lovely serveme.tf users!

All EU and NA servers are free to use until 2015. That's 95 EU servers and 18 NA servers. If you were a donator today, you've received an extra month of donator status.

I won one myself too! Thanks Arie!
