I actually practice a lot on the class that I play, but forcing me to offclass because Daff decided 20 minutes after our match was supposed to start that our player can only play medic isn't something I can say is in my practice regimen. I'll make sure that I add that though. After all, you've gotta be ready for anything in Team Fortress Two!

We'll call it even though, since you did get to pick up invite players just in time for our match last season.

GGs for real though, next time I will make myself personally responsible for ensuring that everything we do as a team is blessed by the RGL Admin team. The buck stops here.

GGs Jag and friends! You guys really are the better team!

We're trying to scrim right now and every time we ready up it re-enables soap. how to fix

GG BEAST. u guys own

Yeah I usually do that every year from Halloween to Christmas because I don't have any friends in real life and it's really hard to think of shit that will force me to go outside and be around people when it's freezing and there's a foot of snow on the ground. Then combine that with seeing everyone else around me be so happy and excited for the holidays, and it just makes me want to crawl into a hole in the ground and disappear forever. The only advice I can give is to not beat yourself up about it, because while it might seem obvious to you now that you aren't doing yourself any good by shutting everyone else out, it's important to remember that when you're in that frame of mind, how incredibly difficult it is to even just imagine a way, or a reason, to come back. Being depressed is one thing, but making it worse by blaming yourself for being depressed is a bad way to go.

This year I decided to try read more than I had been, and I think I read some stuff that helped me get over myself a little bit. Among a lot of other stuff, I started getting really into David Foster Wallace. I'd been kind of peripherally aware of DFW and what he was all about from osmosis and slick YouTube™ Video Essays™, but when I sat down to actually read him it kind of blew my mind because it was like reading the contents of my own brain. I think the best introduction is probably This Is Water:

Essentially, he's about stripping away the layers and layers of irony and bullshit and all the other junk that we put between our "real" selves and rest of the world and all the people in it, and really trying to just be authentic with people. And realizing that even if you fail, you didn't fail because you're a bad person, but because communicating with people in a real, authentic, genuine, non-bullshit way is really, tremendously, mind-bogglingly hard, because it turns out that we just aren't built for that kind of sitting down and talking to someone. We need the layers of bullshit. They're as much a part of us as the "real" part that we're protecting with them. And once you know that they're there, and that everyone else has got just as many layers to protect themselves, you can really start to get to the heart of whatever other problems you have with people.

sorry if this was kinda rambly and masturbatory. Just know that you ain't alone out there, and you can get over whatever hole you may or may not find yourself in right now.

ggs sword art :)

Straight up not advanced ready. Absolutely capable given the right team and given she has the right attitude for improvement, but don't expect a drop-in scout for advanced. In main she'd be mostly fine, although I'd again stress that her performance is going to be entirely dependent on the team environment. Puzza will put in the work without hesitation, but she needs to see results and if she doesn't, will not have a good time and probably won't continue playing for very long. From playing with her for the first half of last season (she quit, we didn't cut her) I'd say her main issue is probably more to do with coordination and understanding the flow of the game more so than anything to do with her moment-to-moment ability. If she's willing to work with your team, and you're willing to work with her, I'm sure she could solve these issues and be a fantastic player for you. She's fun to hang out with and is definitely a positive influence on the mumble environment. As long as you're aware you're getting a project player (unless she ends up playing like low main or IM, then she'll roll), pick her up.

likely playoff bracket, excluding the dead team. The only thing I'm not sure about is the 12 seed, considering frick is dead, hi-chew would get it now, but six cups has a bye week which should shoot them to just barely above hi-chew in terms of points. However, with viper being banned I don't know whether hi-chew is living or not, and I also don't know if the admins would want to pluck a team from the second lowest in the div to playoffs just because they had the fortune of getting a bye week for their final match.

it looks like a molex cable with only 2 pins. what's it go to?

scout bad

ggs bank of America, tonight was kinda wack but I'm glad we at least got a few rounds. glad you guys lived, hope everything works out for the rest of the season.

Liking Weezer will be a PLUS for playing on this team. The older and more obscure, the better.

Never had any major issues with him as a leader, and other than roaming too much when he probably shouldn't, no issues as a player. Definitely wanna play for this dude, he'll bust ass to make sure everyone's at the top of their game, and won't sleep on himself either.

Med in high IM/Main
Scout in IM

Played med for the last 3 seasons in ESEA Open and had a lot of fun and I feel like I've improved a lot in that time. I'd be willing to play med for a team shooting to win RGL IM or at least make a deep playoffs run, or anywhere in RGL Main. I'd also be interested in trying out scout in RGL IM, I ended up playing it at RGB LAN and had a lot of fun so I'd be willing to give it a shot for a season. I would also be willing to try maincalling from scout, but that's definitely a skill I would be learning through the season rather than one I would go in being confident with. I would also be way more interested in playing TFCL or any other non-RGL leagues, but since RGL seems to be where everyone's headed, I guess I'd be willing to play there.

I'm able to play pretty much whenever, I have Highlander 930 weekends + Monday for the next few weeks, but any other time should be free.

Just trying to play my favorite game with some cool people :)

He's crazy dedicated to improving. Willing to put in the work watching demos, talking strats, maps or whatever. The dude never stops. He might not be the best right now, but if he's got a team around him that's willing to work with him on getting sixes down pat, he's definitely gonna farm.
