Welp, looks like I got screwed out of being in that swamp pack from the tf2 post yesterday. Tf2maps said I would be apart of it, but it looks like they picked up one of their buddies koth maps instead. Unfortunately all the mappers over there are up each other's asses when it comes to making maps and the ring leader is youme (the guy who make hoodoo, the worst map ever.) I'm guessing they decided I wasn't cool enough to be apart of the group even though I feel I have one of the best koth maps out.
The Tropy Belt is actually the best sniper hat, more hats should be like it.
You keep forgetting that the Panama is the best hat.
As someone who attained this hat by crafting two stupid trophy belts I can back this up. It's stylish and still allows for a properly executed kukri-taunt, the best and most demoralizing taunt of them all.
wow, you got two trophy belt drops?
laughin my ass off over here

Thanks guys, I'm glad I'm apart of a tf2 forum that supports their members. you guys .
Your map is in the rotation on the reddit server. Just in case you care.
Not 100% sure it's the actual final version though. It's koth_moonshine_rc, and I had to delete the _rc from my maps folder and download it, seems like I had a different release from one of the testing nights.

If memory serves, _rc had a bug and he fixed & re-uploaded, but with the same file name. (Which is, in retrospect, a *horrible idea*.)
I'm guessing some copies of the bugged version made it out in the wild, so there's technically still two different versions with the same file-name floating around out there.
Probably not a bad idea to get a new version out there anyway, since it sounds like the materials in the swamp pack were updated & optimized for better framerates.
EDIT: More importantly, though, there needs to be mans on server later tonight. Got a few maps that would like to be played.

The fact that the Trophy Belt is just the regular hat with teeth on it is what makes it so good. It's a subtle difference, something that gives the wearer a unique identity without disrupting the coherence of the game's overall design.

I took Illustration and Design for three years, which is like Graphic Design but way cooler because not only do we illustrate but we also do technical drawing and flash animation and 3D modeling.
Adding some teeth to an already existing hat isn't some artistic statement. It's lazy.

In the process of getting rid of it I crafted my third Fancy Fedora

I still haven't gotten a hat, aside from the gibus and the lament. I even started idling last week.. I'm up to 200 hours in the past 2 weeks and not a single fucking hat. I have 2 refined metal though. So in another 200 hours I'll probably be able to make a hat!

The original hat looks good so a slightly different version of the original still looks good, it doesn't need to be artistic or radically different.
Throwing out all the previously estabilished design principles and characterizations because it's easier to think of a wacky, zany hat than to create something that actually fits thematically with the existing content, that's lazy. (this does not apply to the Panama by the way, I personally think it looks kinda ugly but there is nothing really wrong with it design-wise)

Seriously, this drop system is fucking retarded.
I think they seriously turned down the drop rate during an update in the past two months or so. In the past I could play for a few hour and get maybe 3 items. Now if I idle for 7 hours, I might get 2.

They could have easily made a hat of similar design without it being so blatantly similar to the original.

Jesus Christ, you are like some kind of black hole that all hats get sucked into. How many have you found? 30?
I think more than that, but I don't want to crawl through my item history to get an exact count. Crafting them also fucks up the counting.
I had 17 non-freebee hats before the WAR update. Since then I've found another Vintage Tyrolean, Backbiter's Billycock (pretty sure I didn't craft it), another Stovepipe, Stainless Pot, another Tyrant's Helm, and three Picklehaubes. I may or may not have found others, and then there were the ones I've crafted (dupes ahoy!).
I have four refined metal currently but am saving it. I could try for the Pyro's Beanie but I'd probably get a dupe because a) shitty luck, and b) I already have the Respectless Rubber Gloves and the Brigade Helm. No engi tokens means I can't try for the Texas Ten Gallon, but I do have the Engineer's Cap to hold me over until I find one.
EDIT: I forgot, I've also found an Officer's Ushanka and a Tough Guy's Tuque.

the fundamental effect of hats is to make the person look frumpy and retarded.
the football helmet does this best.
ergo the football helmet is the best hat
This is truth! I used to gun for the Ushanka, but then I realized I could look retarded! After getting the Football helmet I got the Ushanka, and I still haven't unequiped the Football helmet yet. It is indeed the best.
Calling them lazy is pretty harsh given the work they put into additional content. If they released the hat update and it only consisted of the trophy belt, then you might have a point.

They did mention they want to reduce the effectiveness of idling.. but apparently haven't done shit to improve the effectiveness of playing the game.
I can appreciate the logic behind wanting the hats to be uncommon, but they were put into the game last May and there's still a bunch of people who have none? That's bullshit. It gets even worse when assclowns like Goomba have four of the stupid things.
It's not even that I care about the hats, I don't measure my self worth based on how many are in my inventory. It's just the system is so goddamn stupid I can't understand why they bothered to implement it.
I need a macro that I can use to spin 180 degrees, spray on the wall behind me, spin 180 degrees again, and taunt. It has to do all this in between the time I kill someone, and they get the freeze cam.
I don't know if I could come up with a spray that could properly humiliate someone but I'd certainly try.
Spinning an exact number of degrees is really difficult to set up with scripts, even if you find a way to lock down your fps. It's just not very consistent. You'll just have to be pro enough to do it manually.
I need a script that I can use that will admintrace spray everyone I just critrocketed.

Lol, I didn't know you made Moonshine. Great map!
The Random Number God is a loathsome and spiteful beast
My policy is if it's a hat, it's mine, and it's not that accursed batter's helmet, I wear it.

I find the way the light bounces off it to be captivating.

Moonshine and Sawmill are by far my favorites. If Moonshine doesn't get officialized it will be a travesty.

People know what video game hats they like best better than Savoo does, however.
Which is probably why Valve put more than one in.
the football helmet does this best.

I actually know very well which hats I like best.

Barraketh, when item trading is put in, I will gladly take any of the bazillion hats you don't want. I'll trade you for a sanvich.

Like the hat.
Also Barraketh you got no reason at all to whine, ever again.
he doesn't actually play this game, he has been sitting on an idle server for over forty thousand hours, though.
his longest life as scout is 1,471,310 minutes.
and ten seconds.
