    Thank you to everyone that helped along the way with the process. Special thanks to xzzy for the awesome gmod pictures, littleboots for the early advice and feedback, my girlfriend(Lindsey Bluth Funke) for the feedback and putting up with me sitting in front of the computer nonstop, the many kind individuals who were nice enough to keep jumping on and testing over and over and over again and anyone else I forgot to mention. It wouldn't be as good without you guys.
    Be proud. This is an awesome product, and you had better get some recognition for your good, hard work.

    Are you not already giving him recognition?

    Anyways, was good to get a PA game going Friday(?) night. I only play L4D2 a couple nights a week, so I hope that the TF2 servers get busier.

    Hey, it seems they have added some new lines for Announcer in the latest update:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9uvQ_k8gqs&feature=player_embedded

    I fully expect a Christmas Truce event.

    Instead of shooting rockets we shoot fruitcakes.

    Instead of flame throwers they have punch spewers.

    The way the lines play out, it sounds like it might be something to do with teaming up with the other guys and betraying your own team. Although that on its own sounds a bit too chaotic to try and implement in any fun way.

    Dudes in the SA TF2 thread are saying they've heard the new clips in-game already.. they appear to be triggered by playing with people who are on your steam friends list.

    Could be some kind of team stacking feature Valve is working on.

    Why would you bitch? It's got a heck of a lot more playability than the koth maps in the game right now. I mean, you either got viaduct with it's "har har engy got a sentry up, you're fucked!" or harvest and nucleus with their "lol snipers have infinite lines of sight". Sawmill isn't bad, but it's not great either.

    tldr: moonshine plays 100 times better than any koth map Valve has given us.

    thought just popped into my head

    PDQ will make it so much easier to level 1 sentry ambush snipers, and the best thing I thought of:

    letting someone who is taunt freezecamming watch as you set up a level 1 sentry in front of them in 2 seconds. Also heavies eating sandviches, but I remember hearing that a level 1 sentry can't kill a heavy eating a sandvich.

    This is fact. This is why you must also wrench the heavy.

    God I can't wait for the PDQ.

    I did that on a pub the other day and it was awesome.

    He was sitting there all fat and proud munching in his sandwich, and I emptied my entire shotgun into him. I'm sure he felt pretty powerful at that point.. then I pulled out the wrench and critted him twice. SUCKER.

    Definitely seems like a game type that requires a mod enforcing the rules, or else you're always going to get some jackass running around as a pyro.

    Also think it should be the spies on defense, snipers on offense. And no ambassador.

    Why no ambassador? Do spies without cloak with ambassadors somehow outclass snipers without jarate/smg/razorback?

    The sniper's non-hat or the Jarate belt.

    If I do this, I'd probably go with the non-hat option, since I think that would stop snipers from wearing a hat if they have one. I think the ten gallon is big enough to hide the backbiter or the fedora. Cowboys with camerabeards are fine.

    It just doesn't seem very cowboy like to me to stand in some remote recess and snipe at indians.

    Cowboys are all about mid to close range combat, rapid-firing all six rounds from the hip.

    Well, when it came to indians, cowboys were all about sitting on a horse with a rifle, but that doesn't really apply to TF2.

    For the full old west experience, the cowboy team (revolver spies and noscope rifle snipers) sits on the train of King of the Train while the bison team (heavies without ammo) stands around unable to defend themselves
