i fully agree with you, ultimately you can't do much except trying to let people in their circle know about the fact that this is happening and wish they could do something about this
this person clearly does not see any problem in what is happening and they need some close person like friends or family to make them realize that their behaviour is a problem in a nicer way than i just put it here and lead them to a professional who could deal with the problem because i am pretty sure with all respect but tftv or tf2 communities is like one of the last places of all you should seek for help simply because most of us don't know how to help

hi
i would like to thank you for you all who attended the event, while it was a small event i think we can surely say it was fun
i would like to also thank to all of you who helped me with this event organization, regardless if onsite or remotely, it wouldn't be the same without you
again, we're going to gather photos from this event to a common gallery which will be accessible on our website, so if you have any please upload it here https://c.supra.tf/s/Pryf5xkiDBSBFNb
if there is anybody who wishes not to appear in the gallery (regardless if these are player uploads or ours - please make a ticket and let us know about it, we will respect your call)

i got questions about the upcoming events and plans related to it: so far we do not plan any future "casual" events like the one we've just had until further notice
while this was the root of the event series, there is less interest for this type of events while having huge interest in events where we put players to test their own gaming edge in TF2 competitive
which was something you could experience during the winter event and we'd like to follow this trend, so gather up the strongest 6v6 team you can get and prepare yourself for the best competitive experience you can get in the upcoming year

we plan to organize the next event somewhere around the end of february and start of april as it can get a bit more distanced in time from Überfest in november
and avoid price hikes for flight tickets which would come close to easter (end of april) as we want to keep it as the cheapest tf2 competitive event imaginable
we'll ask you about the interest somewhere around september so we can know how big attendance we can expect
we are keen on having at least one NA and AU/NZ team so we'll do our best to prepare a worthy prize pool for the next event

one last thing: poLANd.tf is entirely funded from community donations and we would appreciate your help with covering costs for the last event and upcoming one(s)
our finances are transparent and you can find them at https://finances.poland.tf/ while you can support us through https://donate.poland.tf/

again, thanks for everything and hopefully cu@ poLANd.tf 2025!

shes right, post your pc specs so we could confirm it

hey everyone!
i'd like to remind you that the signups are still open! as of now we have 26 players signed up as well as 16 spectators
signups are going to close one week before the event (12.07.2024)
later on next week we are going to choose what tournaments do we want to run where we'll have a choice between:
- 6v6 tournament based on players available (players form teams themselves)
- 6v6 draft tournament where a few captains will pick their team
- MGE tournament for soldiers or/and scouts
- BBall tournament
- Ultiduo tournament
keep in mind that we are going to host multiple tournaments, not just one of the choices from the list

meanwhile, i'd like to announce that the fragmovie from remaining edition is done by deli and is going to have a premiere at 18 CEST today, so make sure you'll see it!

that's pretty cool, i love it

recently I've binge watched the original old avatar last airbender series and I'm willing to watch the continuation (the legend of korra)

nie (yes)

I enjoyed the Witcher series recently and it's something you could try, it shouldn't be expensive
you could try cyberpunk 2077 too - it's way less buggy than at the beginning, has a great story and it's guaranteed 60 hrs of play with the dlc

it's definitely better kind of fanarts than the ones this dude praises (check his twitter)

very wishful thinking, most of the people aren't that patient, you start doing some stupid shit and you get shittalked, it's not good but it is what it is

honestly i've tried running highlander pugs as in hl.tf2pickup.us in NA and it worked for some time and it had some success but i think the reasons why it was a thing was because:
- some people disliked people who ran rgl pugs A LOT like they were openly unhappy about it
- rgl pugs didn't work at all or there were serious issues with their operations (which seems to be fixed now)
- no fatkidding

however when rgl pugs started working normally people moved back to playing these simply because more people were gathering up there and after like 2 months of no games i've closed the site because i saw no meaning in maintaining the operation, meanwhile i was thinking of hosting tf2pickup.us but after this i kinda gave up cuz i thought that na 6v6 people are happy with what they have so this service is basically not needed
however, if there is an actual interest from the community we could make it happen, i just need to see that people really want it and we could do something about it
the big difficulty is getting admins to maintain the site and getting actually trusted people, i strongly empathize on the latter because i am extremely happy about what kind of admin team i have for eu pugs as i know they have a good intent for the matter

this is the exact reason why skill values for all players aren't public on tf2pickup.eu as it prevents people from e-dick size competitions and people actually focus more on the game than getting better/worse elo

there is one thing in this topic which this dude probably brought up:
https://etf2l.org/2024/03/22/6v6-season-47-spring-2024-provisonal-tiers-and-whitelist-plugin-rule-updates/

if etf2l is siding with prem player opinions in the first place, why asking about the general audience about an opinion at all if it doesn't matter anyway?
siding with people who have the most of experience in the game and best understanding of it in a competitive setting is fair (actually i was enforcing this idea when i was an etf2l league admin myself) but this was a spit in the face of people who thought they could make a change by voting, eventually getting their votes disregarded
i guess etf2l wanted to see an opinion of the community but i feel like it was potrayed in a way if they choose A and it gets majority it just gets applied, i think you get this already

the rest is just one-sided opinion and as others said bad faith arguments about the changes being made, because the arguments why the change is being made was presented in the post update, but then people just forget it was made in some post some months ago and think all of these whitelist changes are shoved from someone's ass while all of them are result of some problematic situation or aspect in the game which had its own spotlight in the past like playing with double backpack or idk vaccinator (very old ban)

zesty jesus is a guy who can't accept that people can be better at the game he loves than him like many pub players and call like majority of comp players names because they are so sweaty and kill him in a game where the main thing is killing players in the opposing team!!! (j_peg situation with him getting dunked on a pub)
he has played one season of highlander in amateur and has an opinion about every single aspect of competitive you can ever imagine based on his extensive experience
and that is a viewpoint which is repeated by cringetopians who can't develop an opinion of their own based on some actual competitive experience, so they take his takes as their own which eventually creates a bad look for competitive overall

looks like na wonder > eu wonder
