if someone does this and it gets reported, the admins will issue a ban

i genuinely don't understand how people think the volunteer rgl admins are just gonna know automatically what happens in every game??

Raised fence does a lot to make the aggressive defense less free

As a soldier I look forward to playing on the new geometry behind last; i think it's gonna be annoying for others though

I get slightly better frames on last and second now that the props and stuff aren't rendering from both in OOB area

I'm really glad heavy can't get on the hedge anymore that was annoying

Curious to see how mid plays out with less health. It was a mid before that required aggression, and I hope this emphasizes that without making it impossible to do stuff as soldier

Ty for fixing the cubemaps they were weird. Same with lobby lamps

Good stuff in this update!!

does taking the black pill technically make covid go away?

i'll take one for the team

dude it's literally the second rule under ping limits in the highlander rules. cRy AbUt iT

> Showing poor sportsmanship through spamming binds, abusive chat, offensive nicknames, avatar pictures, purposefully dragging out games, etc... is not allowed.

to be clear: i think rgl occasionally oversteps and gives out some bad bans. but those bans shouldn't surprise or upset u when it's in the rules that you agreed to play under

u seem awful to play with tbh

ty to all the people that came to the live version that helped me get through all the content, asked great questions, and provided useful feedback!

:)

The event will take place in 40 minutes (9 ET) in the newbie mix mumble (mumble.newbie.tf 64738). All are welcome.

If you don't want to come to the mumble lecture, there will be a recording of it that will be packaged and posted sometime on Sunday or Monday. Sorry for no stream. I want to focus on the lecture and not the tech of making the stream work. Also, my internet sucks rn.

Participants are welcome to stream if they'd like to share.

need some coaches this evening. mumble info:

I think anyone on these forums that still recognizes my name knows that I'm not the greatest TF2 player to ever grace the scene. For a whole host of IRL reasons I stopped playing competitively after playing in IM back in S23. I never thought the best thing I did for the scene was playing in it, though. The work I did with the rest of the newbie mix admins is a much bigger deal to me, and the 1k+ players we brought into the scene over my tenure actively working with newbie mixes is what I look back on most fondly.

For anyone who doesn't know, I'm a school teacher that has been working on applying educational best practices to TF2 (because honestly I'm so freaking bored and really missed teaching). This effort has culminated in the (admittedly, slightly stacked) Newbie Mix team drive team Tino and I are coaching placing 3rd seed in the Amateur (not newcomer) division this season.

that is the coolest tf2 jump/frag/anything video intro i have ever seen

I think another big thing to note is how it may not always affect high level play quite as much, but it can make lower level play much faster and focused.

The medic on the newbie team I'm coaching runs it almost always but sometimes switches to ubersaw on desperation holds (or if ppl dont have the right whitelist).

I'm glad you felt the need to get this off your chest and that you felt safe to do so :)

It's not a big deal if the last time you cheated was a decade ago. And honestly it wasn't a huuuge deal then, either. Cheating is super wrong, but it's just a game. It's not like you robbed a pharmacy. Don't be too hard on yourself
