    I just got an email
    Hi.Yesterday, we reset your Medic achievements because we mistakenly believed you had hacked around the system to get them. Today we discovered a bug in our code that resulted in you being incorrectly flagged as cheating. As a result, I'm emailing you to apologize for our error, and to let you know that we've decided to award you the full set of Medic achievements.Have fun with the Ubersaw,Robin Walker.

    Bwahahaha, I did cheat. Thanks Robin Walker.

    Then you should email him and give the achievements back.

    Be honest.

    I got that email too, and I didn't use the cheat.

    A little bit annoyed since the only achievements I had left to get were the ones that I would have gotten through normal play.

    Oh well.

    Well. Um... I forgot my email address that I registered with Steam... so I can't check my email.

    But within the last hour, I've been given all but one of the achievements (heal 200 people who called medic... the easiest one). So guess what? I gots an ubersaw, bitches. And yeah, Valve fucked up here. But they had the balls to step up and fix it. Even if they over-fixed it for Thargor. :P I would've liked to get the achievements legitimately... but I know I could've done them anyway.

    Hi. Yesterday, we reset your Medic achievements because we mistakenly believed you had used one of our system flaws to get them. Today we discovered that we're ravening lunatics and that the whole achievement fiasco is untenable and we should really just face our mistakes. As a result, I'm emailing you to apologize for our error, and to let you know that we've decided to award you the full set of Medic achievements. Have fun with the Ubersaw, even though it's completely balanced and obviously there's no good reason why anyone would want one so much, honest.

    So I just got TF2.

    Any reason why my menu runs extremely slow? The game starts up all fine and good, but then the music starts skipping and it takes a good two minutes just to get into a game the menu is so choppy. Once I'm in, the game runs fine.

    Oh man, I'm totally going to make this server. You will be required to be wearing a suit and have a MBA and will need to show proof of both before joining the server. Once on the server you will go through a series of at least 3 interviews in order to determine what class we'll have you play.

    Man, that map is hard has hell to turn around when you're pushed back to your 2nd point and all 24 slots are filled. Still, we did it somehow. I think that every time before yesterday that I'd played it, there were 16-20 people, and it was a little less crowded.

    I would really enjoy that map a lot more if it were a proportional 20-30 percent larger in size.

    Kay, I'm taking a TF2 break. These medic shennanigans make pubs unplayable and right now the PA servers are really fucking laggy for some reason, so I'll come back once the asshattery dies down (ditto my blood pressure).

    P.S. Valve, please feel free to reset my achievements AGAIN. Honest to god, if I didn't know better I'd say you were trying to pick on me. But to be fair I did the inviolately evil act of unlocking the three Milestones without jumping through the hoops like a good little [strike]bitch[/strike] consumer, so hey, actually getting the achievements fucking anyway clearly isn't good enough.

    But once I come back every medic worth their salt should have the Critskrieg, and to be frank I want to be recieving those Crit-ubers, not dealing them out.

    I... actually agree. I tried it out with Marty and its just a bit too much. It pretty much forces the enemy team to deal with the two medics, which allows your team to set up and move forward without opposition. Yes, it can be dealt with via soldiers and demomen... but it'd just be too hard to stop, and too easy to do. It doesn't fit with general TF2 play, either.

    Edit: Best course of action is to just make it so an Ubersaw doesn't charge your meter while you're ubered, in my opinion.

    So after about 7 years of not playing a TF (used to play the quake 1 mod like 8 hours a night) I'm finally downloading TF2 via the free weekend dealie.

    Before I head off to the PA servers, what are some protips for not being a complete asshat. I always hated the excuse of "but I'm a newb" when it came to not know how to play on dedicated servers. Any special rules? Anything about the maps I should know about (Comeon newb demo, blowup the secondary entrance underneath the blah blah blah), or anything else I should be aware of.

    I really appreciate it.

    You can walk through teammates, but not enemies, and (if you're an engineer) not your own constructions. Since disguised spies do not bleed when shot, if you bump into a "friendly" then they're actually a spy.


    Sadly, that's the only advice I can think of off the top of my head.

    Hmm, it's mostly common sense. Try not to go a class when your team has 3 of them already. Don't pipe music in voice chat. Communicate with your team, push up when you get an uber, or if you're giving an uber, help your target kill sentries by running up to it and eating the knockback.

    We're generally pretty tolerant of new people and if you see something weird or have any questions like "how'd that engineer get up there?" just ask.
