    It seems I work at exactly the time people get on the server, as all I ever see is 0/24. :(
    So, pubbing, is there any tag I can 'not include' so it removes servers with inflated players showing in the list? Got like 4 servers this afternoon that showed ~20/24 and had 0 players playing.

    edit: already have bots on the filter list.

    After you find one, right click and select "add to blacklist". That will remove your ability to find the server in the future. We usually play from 8-10PST/5-7EST, but you can get people playing at any time of day (especially weekends) if you send out enough invites/posts.

    This site has a downloadable blacklist that will put every server like this on your blacklist. And not even just specifically that, you can customize the blacklist to fit what you want to blacklist.

    Didn't someone say some of our servers are on that site's list?

    Edit: Yeah HonC is on there for one.

    Yeah, it's not 100% reliable. I personally wouldn't trust in it. It shouldn't take long to weed out the servers you don't like yourself.

    From what I remember reading about that blacklist, any server that ever uses bots is on there, for "spoofing player counts".

    Because serious players don't play with alltalk on?

    Or something stupid like that, I'm guessing.

    I don't like alltalk 80% of the time. I like it when the server is low on population though. I actually really like that mod that turns on alltalk when the population is below a certain number.

    Yeah, I'd recommend just manually making a blacklist, the "official" one's a bit of a silly goose, if you catch my drift.

    Also (not that anyone's actually *seen* the map yet...) updated cp_coldfront to the first beta version.

    That estimate on when the server is active seems off to me. I tend to see people filling in around 7 or 8 eastern and it tends to stay full, when it's an active night, until around 11 eastern.

    Holy shit you raided a soviet surplus store.

    I will happily take one of those off your hands if I manage to collect any trade fodder attractive to you before the trade update hits. Unless you wanted a second camera beard, which I expect is very likely.

    So it seems to me that while it'd use more items making tokens into metal would be faster, since you dont' need 3 of the same thing.

    But, you don't need three of the same item to craft metal anyway?

    3 items that are different but belong to the same class will yield metal. Except for the buff banner. And maybe the pain train?

    You need three items from the same class, but not three duplicates. Any combination of three items from a class gives you a scrap metal.

    But yeah, if the token route works that way it would seem like a good way to go about things. It'll still depend on what items you get though, really. Four items of the same slot is about as common as three items from the same class, from my experience.

    No you can. You can also scrap three pain trains into scrap. I think that's the only recipe you can do with them though.

    1 primary, 1 secondary and 1 melee weapon also worked. Then Valve realized that was dumb as it prevented the Demoman and Sniper from smelting class weapons, so they just changed it so that three of any combination of items that belonged to a single class can be turned into a metal. Aside from the Gunboats. And now the pain train apparently.

    EDIT: Also, I can see the pain train not working with Soldier or Demoman weapons, since it's a dual class item, but the Gunboats should be able to be smelted with other soldier items ESPECIALLY now that the Homewrecker and Dalokohs bar can be melted with Pyro and Heavy items, respectively.

    Yeah, it's kind of dumb. Or better yet, they should make the gunboats work for both soldiers and demomen and make it so you can craft the gunboats with the pain train! Shit all over teh soldier winners!

    Gunboats are probably still bugged because Robin is sick of Quaz spamming him all the time, so he's leaving it broken out of spite.

    I've taken to putting a comment about the Gunboats into every e-mail I send Robin (Only two so far though.)

    But Robin and I are like best friends! I'm sure he prints and frames all my e-mails like I do with his. Even if that would mean covering his mansion with framed e-mails.

    I think I'll ask him right now.

    Just so you know, when he asked for your address, it wasn't to send you a birthday present. It was so he knew where to send the restraining order.
