I don't know who'd be interested in this sort of thing, especially since it's around the time school is starting up and since not a lot of people seem to be playing TF2 right now, but the European Team Fortress 2 League is having an international tournament, designed for players new to competitive play. Basically, all that needs to be done is to put together a team of 9-14 TF2 players and sign them up before the 26th; anyone who registers and has their team play so much as a single round even gets a free medal. Anyone interested in signing up and seeing http://etf2l.org/highlander/ Interest so far: Max: Engineer Apejack: Scout, Soldier, Medic Kiwi: Soldier, Heavy, Medic Jeff: Spy, Heavy, Engineer Vicas: Medic, Pyro Wally: Heavy, Medic, Soldier, Pyro Shade: Pyro, Medic, Engineer Ghib: Heavy, Soldier, Medic, Scout FEGuy Azazoth Edited by Walliard, Aug 11 2010, 11:31 PM.

I've actually done a few PUGs before, and did passably as Soldier or Medic. Then again, that was when I played a lot. If others wanted to, I would give it a try. EDIT: However, we'll all have Americaping. Edited by Bears, Aug 11 2010, 02:46 AM.

Jeff is pretty much the only Spy choice. I can run a bunch of things (Soldier, Scout and Medic are the best, but I'm a bit too aggressive as Medic and get killed a lot). |

I suppose, since we can have as many as 14 people, I'd like put myself in pretty much as a spare, assuming there aren't 14 people other than myself interested. I can play soldier decently, but I need to find a new mouse first, and hope my laptop holds out since the wifi module and the battery connector seem to freak out daily. If it comes down to the university-issued laptop I'm screwed. Who the hell puts a non-Starter version of Windows 7 on a machine with only one gig of RAM?

I'll Spy. I mean play. Okay I'll probably end up being the Spy for the entire game like Apejack mentioned but yeah. Also, Soldier is probably the most important class, so it's far from idiot proof. Pyro is still fairly idiot proof - all you need to learn is how to airblast and how to use the Axtinguisher properly. Engineer used to be pretty idiot proof, but the Engineer update drastically changed that. Heavy is fairly simple, but it's important to have some skill there, given how powerful the Heavy is now - if we put our best elsewhere, I'd say the Pyro and Heavy should generally stick together. Actually that just sounds like a good idea anyway, what with the Pyro's ability to weaken Soldiers, Demomen, and Spies. A few questions: What should our Engineer carry - Gunslinger or Wrench? Mini-sentries are great for being aggressive, and I doubt we'll get much chance to hold out for long on defence. What should our combo be - Medic/Soldier or Medic/Heavy? Does anyone have more than 10 backstabs in one life in a legitimate scenario? Is it going to be the standard cp_granary and pals map rotation? A few ideas: I want to have a good Sniper. We should try to recruit DP if possible. Max is fat. Edited by BlueYoshi, Aug 11 2010, 09:10 AM.

Goat was a good sniper, IIRC, if we can recruit him. If we are going to do this, we should probably start playing as a team beforehand to develop more cohesion and strategy. Plus, all of us could use more practice. |

The Medic needs, beyond anything else, to have a mic and use it constantly. Ubers are often the deciding factor in comp matches. Furthermore I'd say that everyone who's playing needs a mic and to use it constantly. I'll (Kiwi, Jeff and Max are welcome to, too - I trust you guys to come up with solid stuff) look up strategies re: Medic buddies as I'm familiar with how 6v6 play rolls, but not Highlander. Right now off the top of my head, Medic-Soldier seems like the best combo, with the Scout staying within reasonable range of them to fight off the enemy's Scout. Kiwi and I are both good at handling enemy Scouts. And Jeff, I might've gotten 10+ backstabs in one life a few times. I'd say you're better than me as Spy, but not by a huge margin. Anyway, imo everyone list classes they would be comfortable with playing in a competitive scenario. Try to limit it to three. I'll start: Apejack: Scout, Soldier, Medic Kiwi: Soldier, Heavy, Medic Jeff: Spy, Heavy, Engineer (this sound right?) Also someone get in touch with Goat. |

I could do anything except Spy, Sniper, or Scout. I would prefer Engineer, though. Hmm. I wonder what my loadout would be here... I suppose it depends on the map. I'll use the FJ almost always, but the rest I'm unsure of. I rarely use the pistol or wrangler, so I think the wrangler will be taken since it's more versatile. I think for 5 point maps and CTF (if we get those), mini sentries may do more good... for others, Southern Hospitality, I think. |

Edited the signups/classes so far into the first post. Everyone should try to experiment over the next week or so to settle on a top three, ideally in some sort of order of preference. As for maps, I believe there's a wider spectrum than the standard comp lineup, simply because there are more maps suited to 9v9 than 6v6. |

Stopwatch simply refers to Attack/Defend maps like Dustbowl. The assumption is that BLU will always win in a competitive (i.e. coordinated) situation, so each team gets a shot at attacking and whichever team has the fastest time wins the round. Gravelpit and Gorge do this in a best-of-three format due to their relative shortness. ...I think. |

Actually having read this now, it doesn't look anywhere near as bad as the previous ETF2L community thing I've seen - this is specifically aimed at new people. As said, mic communication is a must - if you're constantly chatting, that performs as a spycheck for you. Medic needs to know when to use uber and when to use kritz - kritzsoldier can be devastating in the right situation, other times call for well-placed ubers, etc. Freight isn't particularly complex, but it's well worth getting to know it. I would play if the times were agreeable and the lag wasn't bad, but somehow I don't think that'll work out. I'm a decent medic, for reference, but I'm not particularly comfortable [competitively] in much else |

Sabre's quite good; I'd estimate he is about my level. If I'm not Scout, he's who I would want to be Scout. Otherwise, he could be Pyro, since I recall him being good at that.

I'm not a good choice for leader. I wouldn't mind doing it if I had to, but depending on when this tournament takes place, I might not be available at certain times as my next semester at uni is about to start and I have things going on that I can't miss. I can't guarantee I'll be available all the time and I kinda need to be if I'm the leader. |

Kiwi would say the opposite. Jarate is definitely helpful for the team, though if you're not close enough to the front to actually hit things with it, the SMG may be better for the odd spy or scout that gets around (especially scouts, those things hurt scoots). Kiwi would say that the rifle is more beneficial to the team as it makes it easier to take out the things that cater to the sniper's actual job, like engies and heavies much better then huntspamming. Though Kiwi doesn't see why you can't switch between the two if one isn't working. Kiwi thinks Squid would make a good leader, Kiwi could possibly do so as well, though he'd require us to get practice working together (and most definitely not so Kiwi can get used to taking command) if he is going to be it. Jeff, Kiwi thinks he could do well in it too, but he'd likely be our spy and Kiwi is somewhat hesitant about having the spy calling the shots (though he would be able to recon better then everyone except the scoot). Saber? Honestly, Kiwi hasn't seen enough of him to say one way or another which makes Kiwi want to say nay to him being leader (he also doesn't strike Kiwi as a leader) |

On Sniper: Completely agreed with Kiwi. Rifle is great for taking out Engies and buildings, blah blah blah. On team leader: Jeff and I are certainly the best as far as tactics go, and Sabre doesn't seem interested in being captain, so I'm fine with it unless Jeff wants to be team captain really badly or something. Kiwi's a solid candidate, but I'm not sure if he'd be better than Jeff - chances are in case I wouldn't be around, as captain I'd name Jeff my first replacement and Kiwi my second. From what I know (again, mostly 6v6), the captain usually plays Medic, which I'm cool with doing, but I'm not sure if there's anyone who's near me in Scout ability, aside Sabre if he still plays Scout. Anyway, here's ideal loadouts imo: Scout: Vanilla, aside maybe Sandman since it's allowed. Demo/Heavy/Soldier should be okay against a single sentry. I could see FaN getting some use on Gravelpit defense, though, just for C. Soldier: Unless Kiwi really likes Direct Hit, I'd go rocket launcher, shotgun, and Equalizer. Not sure about using the Buff Banner here, as it means you can get caught with your pants down much more easily. Pain Train could see some use on 5 CP maps. Pyro: Vanilla aside Axtinguisher. Demoman: Vanilla. Heavy: Natascha/rest vanilla. Or all vanilla. I like Natascha's slowdown though. Engineer: I'm not really sure here. Never been an engineer player, I prefer to play a more active role on offense or support. Medic: I could see Kritz having use, especially with a Soldier. Medic shouldn't be defending himself, though, so I'd say go with standard syringe gun and... I guess it's a toss-up between Bone and Ubersaws. Would go with Bonesaw, personally. Sniper: Rifle, Jarate, Kukri I guess. SMG works as well. Spy: Revolver, Dead Ringer. Comment. Edited by Bears, Aug 14 2010, 11:51 AM.

I can still play Scout, though I'll need a hell of a lot of practise to get back into top form. I defer to your judgement on equips, since I haven't really been able to play TF2 over the past year. Still, has Natascha been buffed enough to warrant using it over the normal minigun? |

Scoot: Kiwi thinks if Squid medics, Sabre is our best bet as what will likely be a better ping for him would give him an advantage over the other potential scoot candidates. Weapons wise? Squid seems to know what he's talking about here. More so then Kiwi. Soldier: The DH vs the normal RL. It is more of a toss up then many people would like you to believe. To keep it simple, the DH is superior in taking out sentry nests, usually heavies and pretty much anything that can't dodge. RL is, however, not only a more reliable damage dealer, it is better suited for groups, the ability to damage both the medic and his patient, and separate them, is useful. In regards to one hitting the lower HP classes, it's not guaranteed unless it is a sandman scout at pretty much point-blank. A scoot worth his salt won't let you get a second hit with it, which brings Kiwi to secondary weapons. Buff Banner, Gunboats, and Shotgun: Since we will always have a medic (though he may not be available) and we won't be playing Arena, the gunboats seem to take on minimal importance (though Kiwi doesn't really like them due to only having the Rocket launcher to shoot people with). The Buff Banner can and has turned a bad situation around, even if the soldier is by himself. The issue is that it's not immediately available if you run into trouble from the start. The shotgun, oh boy, the shotpump, Kiwi's personal choice 98% of the time. Dropping it is not taken lightly as the soldier uses this when his rockets run out in the middle of a fight, and to finish off those pesky scoots. Pretty much required if using the DH as it is your best means of finishing off an enemy. With the standard RL you can get away with not using it, however. Pyro: No argument for the primary or axetinguisher. Air blast is too vital to give up for the damage boost. The secondaries, if you can use the flare gun, go ahead. If you aren't confident in your ability to use it, don't chance it and use the shotpump. It is your best bet for finishing off those burning scouts. Heavy: If you have a medic, sandvich, which may seem odd, but if your medic is about to die, he will need it. Not to mention the chances of you not being able to rev your gun up with a medic healing you is small. Without a medic? Personal choice, each has its pros and cons. Admittedly, if you tend to run into ammo issues, you might want to use the shotgun regardless. Enginerd: Gunslinger on offense, definitely. Defense? Situational. Emergency NEED GUN NOW: gunslinger. If you can set up, normal sentry. Kiwi doesn't find the wrangler that useful in a good team as the others can help you out if you're getting outranged, and it requires you to expose yourself. FJ? Kiwi honestly doesn't know. Depends on how well you/your sentry can survive. Too long especially for soldier since Kiwi will likely be playing it. Just food for thought in case someone else takes the mantle. |

Your judgments are solid. Basic guidelines: - If they're not giving us a vent server for the match, we should all get Skype. At the least if this isn't feasible, we should all be on Steam group chat. - Report EVERYTHING. Engies building, where a sniper's hiding out, everything. - Don't do anything stupid in-match like melee fighting unless it's that desperate. - Try to get tr_walkway and practice on it a bit, if you can stomach that. Mostly for the aim-intensive classes, though. - More added later I guess. |

For whoever is Soldier: Keep in mind that your buff banner bar fills even if you don't have it equipped. So if you do a crapload of damage and then go to respawn closet and switch to banner, it'll be ready to go. Just in case you didn't know. As the team engineer, for most maps, my loadout will be FJ/Wrangler/SH. Actually I may use the Pistol (Sam and Max pistol of course) instead. The Wrangler is rarely used; it's biggest problem is that you cannot repair the sentry while in a fight. And since we'll be playing against good teams, they'll realize that you can just run in as soon as you see the laser beam go off and kill it as it'll be sleeping. Perphaps use the gunsinger at the beginning of attack/defense maps before we can move up at all, but after that, protecting the teleporter is the most important thing I can do, so I would use standard ones. For 5 point maps... it's a toss up. I don't play those as often, but I would imagine it's situational depending on how far we've moved up. |

Note that I'll probably be taking the wrangler anyway despite what I said. There are far fewer situations when you'll need a pistol than a wrangler, even though both aren't that common.

Okay guys. I need you to register for the ETF2L site and give me your names on there. I'll add you to the team after you do this. Alternatively, you can give me your SteamID, desired log-in name (I registered Jeff and I have Ghhb's, so he can either ask me for it or give me his email and desired name on there so I can register for him) and email and I can sign you up. It will email you a random password so you don't have to worry about that. EDIT: Sorry, I darkwing ducked up. Need your SteamID (the long string of numbers, when on a server enter 'status' in the console and you'll get it), desired log-in name and email, not just SteamID and email.
