*It will most likely be House of Fail TF2 or something of that nature, but we'd like your input.

Tonight the TF2 server had a really good - not to mention consistent - turnout, and was filled to capacity for the duration of my time there. Now, for the christening of the new and improved TF2 server, we decided to make a concerted effort to get it off the ground. This requires the cooperation of everyone in the clan who has TF2 to actively play on the server, only under ONE condition: If you do play on the server, make sure you take someone with you.

The reason I say this is that when you go alone, you tend to keep to yourself most of the time, and therefore do not set the example that AF members are fun to play with and therefore people have no reason to stay. When you arrive together, you tend to cooperate more and interact with other players. With a heightened presence of clan members on their own server, it conveys a certain level of dedication and authority to it and does not come off as being weak and temporary.

Help us to get the ball running with the new (and hopefully permanent) addition to the AF name by getting games going together as often as you can. Tonight it was just Carl, Radeon, KILLMASTER, and myself; we definitely had a good time and would most certainly benefit from more of you playing with us more often.

Not to mention that when you play with another AF, you usually work together than with pubbers, which in turn makes you do better.

Nice guys, this will definately help the AFs come back to playing TF2 like the old days

EDIT: Quick question: Is team balance / auto team adjustment off in the server, so all the AFs can join 1 team?

[[AF] Cannon_Fodder]

Awesome, I was waiting for an excuse to actually play that game. It's fun, I just never play it. What time do you guys usually play?

[Psyrus]

Likely later in the evening. The best games are generally played from 9 PM and on, whereas they tend to fizzle out around 1 AM (this is all EST).

No, but all in all, I would not encourage AF members to ALWAYS play on the same team. Generally - given that we will likely always work well and cooperate with each other - when AF members are all on one team, that team tends to win consistently. That was the case tonight except towards the end, we were rather evenly matched. I'm not saying that you should always divide your numbers, but you should always be willing to split up so that the teams may be balanced.

[Carl]

I tend to join the losing team (almost always blue). When you play on the winning team all the time, then you aren't getting any better at the game. There also isnt any challenge in that. If a friend and I join the losing team, the tables usually turn since lack of team work is almost always the cause of loss.

TF2 Fortress of Fail? I will join when I get card back from RMA If I don't I'll just wait for the rv870's in 3rd quarter

[AF] Fortress of Fail

fixed
I second this. Instant Classic.

I will download the game and see what I can do to help.
I will suck majorly though seeing as I never really played it much before...but only way to get better is to play

[bloodstreak87]

well essentially that was what I meant but same idea so I first this

[EatTheAnthrax]

Medic!

I'm on way guys :3.
Screw CS:S. TF2 for life. .

[Hostie]

i argee with blood and kenny; AF fortress of fail

and i agree about kenny sucking (can not count how many times i have backstabbed him, even disguised as kenny)

but yea carl and psyrus are right. splitting up does make it more even, and more competitive gameplay makes it more exciting and will make the server better to play. no one likes a sucky team. i know when we all started going on the same team, people started dropping. so heres to keeping a sweet server. also, can we try to do maps or something that other don't? i say that because it is all those original things that get people to come to the css server. so i think if we had hoodoo and nucleus or some sweet orange maps or mods that not many have but are good, well get people to consistantly come back.

kenny sucking (can not count how many times i have backstabbed him, even disguised as kenny.
