    Someone on your time will be a Bot, but you wont know. He'll have a normal name and avvy and a fake ping and respond in chat. And like, either he is an assassin, or you have to protect him without knowing who he is, or something.

    I was kind of surprised no one brought it up yesterday, but assumed everyone was like "yeah, we know about the robot stuff, whatever."

    Well they've talked about adopting the server blacklist generator to make filters that can eliminate servers with bots or fake player counts. It could be that.

    Honestly, Valve needs to up the damage on Natasha about 25%. And give it some area-of-effect splash damage. And any damage it does should heal the Heavy who is using it.

    because the fact that there is no falloff for the slow is ridiculous. suddenly you can't move and you are like "WHAT THE SHIT" and you look across the map and there is a grinning natascha heavy literally pinning you to the ground from 3 miles away.

    literally.

    honestly the slow should get worse with distance or SOMETHING

    BTW, I started uploading a new map-pack when I left for work this morning. It's a tad bigger than the old one, clocking in around 410 MB, but is a bit more comprehensive. I left out most of the contest CTF maps, though, since you can always just download *that* map-pack instead.

    Uploaded it to a different directory and will move it into place when I get home around 7ish. Will post again to let you know when it's safe.

    At long ranges the bullet spread on the minigun prevents it from getting a continuous snare on people in my experience. Sure it's annoying, but so are targelanders, or getting one-shot as a low HP class when in close quarters with the Direct Hit. Honestly the auto-crit swing from the charge is pretty damn powerful, not to mention the escape utility, and the only things that can counter it are airblasts and Natasha. And maybe the FAN or Sandman stun if you're super awesome.

    Yay, more Tf2 controversy. Apparently, the Tf2 Wiki was sold by the owner in an auction after trying unsuccessfully to work a deal with valve. But, a mod on the wiki gave the wiki info to Valve. So now, we have two Tf2 wiki sites, http://wiki.teamfortress.com (new one) and http://tf2wiki.net (old one, now has ads). The valve one seems more updated though, but looks like there is going to bit of fallout from this.

    Babby makes wiki full of information on a game designed by Valve. His negotiations with Valve for a partnership fail, Valve opens up their own wiki. This new wiki doesn't have ads and isn't a shithole.

    Yeah right. All it will take is for Valve to stick a bigass link at the top of their page (I'd make it so it said "Blog, Movies, Wiki" and tf2wiki.net will dry up like a slug in a sandstorm.

    That's not even considering the fact that the official wiki doesn't need to worry about things like ad revenue; or making room for said ads.

    Add in that, apparently the babby spent over $10,000 on the website. (I wonder where he got the money), and that the official wiki literally just copied everything from the original wiki (but that's okay thanks to it using the wiki software (iirc) making everything available through it open for anyone to use.)

    And is run by valve.. so you know, they can have updates for the wiki ready to go when the day they launch new content.

    Hmm.. tf2wiki.net is experiecing issues. I'm guessing either he's getting a major spike of traffic. (Which is funny, after saying "There was no downtime and also the site loaded pretty fast according to Alertra and Pingdom." in his post, that the site is now giving me the error "Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties." :D) or he's pulling the plug on stuff. MySQL errors all up ins.

    I feel bad for the guy though. But honestly, if you're going to invest $10,000 to keep a site running it shouldn't be for a wiki that is PUBLIC DOMAIN.

    Apparently the thread on the steam forums has been deleted. Not locked, not moved, DELETED. So obviously Valve is now aware of the issue. It'll be interesting how things pan out.

    For those who want a summary of everything.

    Harrill, invests $10,000 on the unofficial TF2wiki, believing it's "important" to the community. Because of this logic he decides to refuse to use Google Adsense, yet allow to have halfass'd ads on the site.

    Spaceman, one of the admins on the site informs Harrill that Valve is interested in having the TF2 Wiki. The admins approached Valve, Valve didn't approach them.

    Harrill, hurting from his $10,000 investment, wants to sell the wiki to Valve for atleast higher than $10,000. Spaceman acknowledges this but never speaks about it to Harill again.

    Harill then learns that the admins had sold the wiki in a auction for about $7,000. He didn't know about this. Then Valve starts up the official TF2 wiki as all the old unofficial TF2wiki admins jump ship and migrate to the official one. The person who bought the unofficial one is pissed off at this and thinks Harill had cheated him.

    Harill is irritated because the admins behind his back sold the unofficial wiki for less than what he invested and then went onto the Official TF2 Wiki which is pretty much a exact copy of the unofficial wiki. Granted, Harill never wrote anything in the Wiki, the admins did, so copying the informations from the unofficial to the official is technically alright since the admins that migrated to the official one wrote it and of course, all Wiki content is public domain.

    THe LOW DOWN:

    Harill invested $10,000 in the unofficial TF2 wiki. The only stuff he handled on the site was features and how ads worked on the site.

    Spaceman represents the large amount of admins who constantly wrote entries and edited entries in the unofficial wiki. They sold the site in a auction much less than what Harill invested and migrated to the official TF2 wiki with all the content that was on the unofficial wiki.

    Harill is mad because he believes he deserves money for the investment he made into the site.

    FIRST RULE OF INVESTMENTS. If you make investments, YOU AREN'T ENTITLED ON GETTING THAT MONEY BACK.
