God help me I was too curious. I can upload the speadsheet somewhere if anyone wants to see the raw data/make pretty pie charts.

I noticed it earlier, but with regards to stickies I only see it on airburst ones, not ones on the ground. Maybe by making the damage radius more obvious valve are laying the groundwork for a radius ramp-up sticky nerf that you can actually see?

Vote Panel seems to be working now, although it tends to disappear after you vote. Still can't see the "marked for death" symbol though :(

The Source Filmaker parts during frags is really smooth and original, and the music is awesome

Thanks for updating this, you are my hero.

For some reason, I don't have any "marked by death" icon when I'm holding the Escape Plan/GRU/whatever. Is that something you could remedy?

You have great taste.

I also recommend God is an Astronaut, Asbestoscape, Explosions in the Sky, Pale Sketcher, Portico Quartet, Serphonic and so on and so forth. I love post rock.

Great article, but aren't the new time/scoring rules you propose basically the same as the European ones? I.E. 30 minute games, whoever has the most caps at the end wins, with win difference 5 acting as the "mercy" rule. You're proposing longer games (20 minute halves) which is neither here nor there. Are half times really necessary? Switching sides doesn't really matter since the differences on maps are so small (and they should really be removed from maps), and it adds to the confusion of having to manually keep tabs on the score. We also play 2 maps in a match, although the score isn't cumulative like you suggest.

I agree that "first to five" rules can cut tense matches unsatisfyingly short, but Euro rules have often been dismissed for encouraging passive play to run down the clock ("parking the bus"). I guess having a longer match might partially mitigate that, by having more time for the team behind to catch up, but I'm not sure that's all that's needed.
