Also the real spambots are being dealt with. They get nuked eventually, people point them out and they're really obvious. So I highly doubt that aside from necroing 2 year old threads every now and then they're actually doing anything

Because people seemed to agree with me in the previous thread: Can we discuss the Solemn Vow? Or at least the reasoning behind keeping it banned?

Pros:
- Gives medics more power to call targets
- Encourages teamwork between Medic and damage dealing classes

Cons:
- Solemn Vow would probably become meta when unbanned. Ubersaw is powerful but less reliable

I personally wouldn't mind it being meta though. I'm all for encouraging teamwork.
Opinions/thoughts?

edit: I haven't used the Solemn Vow in 2 years. I completely forgot it also allows you to see ubercharge percentage on other medics. I guess that's a good reason to keep it banned

Moving on to other games: Been liking Reflex so far. I'm still really bad though because I never played a similar game before. Will probably try Diabotical and Quake Champions.
Maybe I'll try some speedrunning. Child of Light looks like a game I'd enjoy speedrunning after playing it casually and having watched the GDQ run.

As for moving on from this community I honestly don't know if I ever will unless the community is completely dead. I like the people, watching competitive, watching streamers, etc.
Never expected to pick up TF2 and meet so many awesome people and such a passionate community. I'd not leave this community even after quitting TF2.

ETF2L allowed it last season already. It was used like once and nobody cared. It was also allowed at i58 I think? It wasn't worth giving up the Boston Basher for back then and it won't be worth giving up the Atomizer for now

I personally think having the Solemn Vow would've been okay.
Gives medics a more active role in calling targets. giving up the ubersaw for a passive ability that requires teamwork is fine imo

Atomizer unban will be "interesting" to say the least

Most unbans are fine though. I've been hoping for a whitelist blacklist like this for a while. Even if it only lasts a season at least we'll have tried.

Any reason for the Steak to remain banned? Don't want medics to get the small hp pack or is there some bug like the dalokah's bar?

I'd rather have an extra person working on important things rather than a tutorial

It'd be way better if they change the default values.
Things like enabling fov_desired 90, hitsounds, damage numbers, fast weapon switch, etc by default. Maybe even updating the network settings like cl_interp because those are way outdated. These would help all new players a lot more than an updated tutorial. Also it'd take less than an hour for 1 person to do this compared to multiple weeks of work to update the tutorial

stop wasting time in pubs playing sniper
stop wasting time in pubs in general

random snapchats and videos but also photo albums and such

Not sure when the official tftv ones are being uploaded. i'm assuming tagg will do that when he has the time. he's a busy boy from what I've heard

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaqW7r3vtl7DSsiMgIbiHDwo7SX-H58xW Mine. Has a lot of different things.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGznEl712WekJizlEalAZxomo3HHGhyga Majestic's Hip Hop playlist. Don't think has been updated in a really long time but has good songs
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjcE5iEW3jBnM4vFFLCo-FHe17GlCIvSq someone else's surfing playlist

http://shag.bandcamp.com/ this guy has great stuff. 16 out of 31 albums downloadable for free as well

For the "no hud" custom hud you can go to Lawena's files if you still have it downloaded. It contains that, default hud and a hp only hud (mostly used for medic frag clips)

2 ghetto ways of doing it if that's too hard:
*cl_drawhud 0 (I think that's the right command. can't check right now) but that might also remove crosshairs which you may or may not want.
*have the scoreboard up and do hud_reloadscheme. Removes hud elements like hp and ammo until you hud_reloadscheme again

I rarely kill people after we win a round. Feels unfair to kill someone that can't fight back. I usually just ignore them but sometimes I stare them down as they run away. That'll show them.

I'm obsessed with making/editing VTF crosshairs. I sometimes just edit opencrosses to make multiple versions with varying gap sizes until I find the perfect one for me. And 2 days later I don't like that one anymore so I start the entire thing over

I don't have taunt bound so whenever someone wants to highfive in pubs I taunt by manually typing in the console command

Maybe there's so many huds at this point people prefer to just update good outdated huds instead of starting from scratch. good example: http://www.teamfortress.tv/33738/ive-updated-some-huds
A friend of mine updated prismhud recently, another friend combined bwhud and omphud and updated them.

Perhaps people are discouraged to make new huds with all the 'recent' updates to hud files with the addition of MM? Most likely not the main reason but it probably contributes to the problem

no. just make a new thread with the title you want
