A bit of a side tangent—I wondered how the game would play if teams were penalized for killing the enemy Medic but not capping Mid. Currently, if you play a Midfight and only one Medic survives with mutual casualties, it is often advisable to back up to Second or Last in order to preserve Uber advantage and wait for respawning players.

Imagine if this dynamic was changed. If you kill the enemy team's Medic but decide to leave (fail to cap), the spawning Medic will build Uber at a slightly faster rate.

This mechanic triggers specifically when a team has a Medic Advantage (One Medic alive, one dead). If the team with the living Medic fails to cap, the penalty applies.

You kill the enemy Medic.
Your Medic survives.
You capture Mid.
Normal game play

enemy medic lives
your medic dies
you capture Mid
Upon respawn your medic builds uber at a faster rate

You kill the enemy Medic.
Your Medic survives.
You don't capture Mid.
Enemy Uber builds quicker than normal upon respawn.*

*This build rate change only occurs before Mid is captured for the first time. After this point, normal Uber rates are in effect.

If he is already is posting on TFTV .... it's way worst than I could've imagined. This is a clear cut case of demonic possession. You must act quickly and you must act strongly. I run a sect called the 9th Circle of Pyros. We are trained alchemists in the dark arts. We specialize in dealing with this specific type of emotionally abusive possession, often caused by trauma from getting 5-0'd by low open pug scrim teams. For spy mains we've observed many of the possessions start from trying to conquer high level circle strafes without the help of an experienced trick stabber like Mr. Paladin or MRswipez1. Your unaltered quest for the forbidden knowledge of spy leaves your back completely open for demonic backshots.. or in this case back shots and back stabs.

A standard exorcism will not work for this demon, I sense he has grown too strong already (evident by his posting of a spy picture on TFTV). This requires a more advanced methodology.

ENTER: Operation RED Moon.

You will need the following materials:

1. A Vessel: Your mouse and keyboard will do fine
   
2. The Holy Unguent: A full, unopened can of monster energy drink (white or pink) DO NOT USE GREEN MONSTER
   
3. The Sacred Texts: A physical printout of the spy hitting the spy crab taunt
   
4. The Binding Agent: A $10 USD Steam gift card or two twitch gifted subs to any of the following streamers: amppisss, b4nny, StabbyStabby, or nubbi

The Ritual:
Preparation (11:59 PM - 12:00AM)

• Place the mouse in the center of your desk,
  
• Drape the Sacred Texts (Spy Crab Taunt) over the keyboard, covering the 'W', 'A', 'S', and 'D' keys effectively disabling all movement. This symbolically cripples your demon's ability to escape Operation Red Moon
  
• Place the Holy Unguent (Monster energy drink) directly on top of the 'space" key. Crucially, do not open the can. Your demon is using the "space" key to jump into your body.

The Incantation (12:00 AM sharp):
At midnight exactly, you must look directly at your monitor, open a blank Notepad file, and type the following incantation, hitting the enter key after each line written:

The Binding:

• Immediately after typing out the last part of the message, use the $10 steam card on as many pyro cosmetics you can buy and (or if it still isn't working) 2 gifted subs to a streamer(s).
  
• unplug your PC from the wall
  
• Go to sleep, but this time, you must sleep with your mouse clutched in your non-dominate hand.

The demon upon waking up, will find his setup disturbed, his persona in shambles, his strength diminished. He will log into "his account" seeing new items. Happy he looks to see them. The aforementioned pyro cosmetics burn into his eyes. He hopes to watch a stream to ease his troubles, notices two notifs in his twitch dashboard. *Two gifted subs sent two streamers who make Ster look like a spy GOD. His environment destroyed. His mental blown the fuck out. His ego dissolved. The last thing your demon sees is a giant text that reads gg on your screen. Completly silent, he hears the following words...... Right behind you.....

Look man, not sure if you're trolling or not. I’m gonna be honest, half of what you’re saying sounds like you smoked on some gas station LSD and proceeded to fall asleep on your keyboard, whilst listening to some anime OST playlist, but… I’ve played enough centers to know when something darker is at play.

If your sleep paralysis demon is legitimately outperforming you on TF2Center and maintaining whisper comms with consistent call quality, that’s already more coordination than most pugs get. The disguise as enemy spy then disguised as friendly spy thing? That’s not dream insanity that’s advanced psychological warfare. You might not be dealing with a dream self alt. This could be a full on metaphysical main takeover.

The real red flag is people recognizing “you” in scrims. Once a demon develops social recognition within the community, it’s basically establishing brand presence. Like a parasite taking complete control over it's host. That’s the first step toward account dominance. Next thing you know he’s locking your main class, stealing your scrim spots, and making passive aggressive comments in discord groups calling you a noob, pedo, tater...etc

I wouldn’t tell the admins yet, worst case, they think you’re trolling and best case, they mark your SteamID with one of those silent watchlist tags they pretend don’t exist. But you do need to monitor the power dynamic here. If his gamesense continues leveling up while you stay the same, he’s eventually going to realize he doesn’t need you anymore. And if he starts playing with yoshi21? Forget it. At that point you’re just a warm body he occasionally possesses to keep the ping consistent.

My advice: sleep on your side, unplug your PC at night, and DO NOT challenge him in pugs. If he’s already better than you on spy, the last thing you want is to tilt him into practicing more.

Stay safe. And if your demon starts scheduling scrims without you, please update the thread. I’m not saying it’s serious yet, but it’s definitely… developing.

Who would’ve thought noobs, taters, gigglers, and demons would all be queuing together. Maybe were alreally living in hell.

The Joker strikes again!
