    I dunno, maybe. I'm not sure whose face got the egg since I was surprised and she was confused at my hysterical laughter.

    guys

    is it essential that the person who has the proverbial egg on his or her face be ignorant to the fact that they have done something embarrassing?

    I mean, if you are to use the phrase correctly.

    I never said they HAD to be, but that it's not that they feel "embarrassed" that makes it egg on their face. It's the act of doing something foolish, whether they realize it or not.

    It's how others perceive you.

    It looks like the award stuff is just soundfiles for getting achievements.

    As for heavy's update...I'd figure spy would be next if they're basing it on need. But I'd prefer them to roll out a few classes at once instead of having us face the horror of 75% spies.

    75% spies is easy enough to handle, but if they were to roll out the spy and engy packs at once all hell would break loose.

    And it would be AWESOME!

    I've also decided I'll actually credit the team and play a class I don't fail epicly at (If you saw me playing tonight, well that was fail.) I'll try and play Demo for most of the time, I jump classes way to often for even my own liking :D.

    Everybody is wondering why pyros don't spy check

    1. Only pyros on defense spy check

    2. Only really bored pyros spy check

    3. Now that the pyro is an evil gnashing maw satiated only by death wrought from the corruption of its hellborne saliva, there is absoulety no reason for them to be any farther from where can be seen their grim reflection in the eyes of their succulent prey.


    Take into the account that a pyro now has enough to do without adding a second coat, and you've got another avenue for spies.


    In case you didn't notice, it is a bit easier to be a smart spy nowadays. No spy is foolish enough to flaunt his disguise around the enemy base for extended periods of time. No spy is stupid enough to weave through the froth of battle rather than taking the obvious hidden shortcuts. No spy would dare disguise as the obvious. No spy would be insane enough to target those that can seek them out with their supernatual vision.

    And yet, spies continually capitalize on the routineness of the anti-spy protocol, engaging in activities once considered predictable, but now rare and in unuse for that very reason. You may wonder why the pyro fails to expose the spy attempting to masquerade as a friend; a maneuver successful in the past only in a time frame measured in a few seconds. But did you ever stop to think about all the spies you do not meet in the backalleys where they once frolicked? This is because pyros spend all their time searching for the perfect ambush and have interrupted the spy's niche, which is again found snugly in the enemy's camp when all the spy hunters flock to the sewers eager to brandish their new gifts of death.

    This is making me chuckle while at work. Medic healing a Medic healing Flippy_D just sounds so ridiculous but it really does work. It is my new Dustbowl defense when Flippy_D is around ... it's loads more fun then swinging away at a sentry gun. Plus, I do take Pyro's in to clear out the Blu base when my Uber is up.

    Engineers like to think that Pyros have nothing better to do than run circles around their sentry shooting fire all day, but devoting someone to spychecking is a waste of a player slot. We've got better things to do. A decent Pyro will spycheck any unconfirmed player he runs past, but most Spies will not run past a Pyro if they can possibly help it.

    So a follow up for you guys interested in my moral conflict slash issue with shooting pistols rapidly. I deleted my auto pistol script and opted to try the mouse wheel out, and quickly discovered it does not work like you think it would. Until you stop scrolling in one direction, it treats it like one big mouse click, so you don't get the rapid fire effect for spinning your wheel unless you rock it back and forth, something that I found to be as or more difficult than rapidly clicking the mouse button.

    So I returned to my old ways and discovered I could kill with the pistol with just mouse1. Maybe it wasn't the script, or the mouse wheel that I needed after all. Maybe all I needed was a bit of confidence that I could stay on a target and rapidly mash a mouse button simultaneously and successfully vanquish my foes.

    Bah. Try messing with this:
    bind "-" "disguiseteam"

    I don't know if it's correct because I can't find much of shit on it, but it's in my CFG and doesn't seem to be an alias I made.

    EDIT:
    If that doesn't work, you may have to set up disguise scripts, assuming you haven't already.

    That seems right. Huh... Wonder why it didn't show up in my config.cfg... I know there's a key for it, I usually press "-", so that sounds right. I sure hope I don't have to write some wonky toggle script for it.

    sniper_specialweapon03.wav: Just glance at it!
    sniper_specialweapon04.wav: Hahaha...new weapon...somebody won't be lucky!
    sniper_specialweapon05.wav: I'm sure I will like it!
    sniper_specialweapon06.wav: Now I have a real cool gun!
    sniper_specialweapon07.wav: It seems this is a very helpful thing!
    sniper_specialweapon08.wav: Hahaha...like in (maybe it's "for", for example the enemy got a headsot like...) the morning of Christmas!
    sniper_specialweapon09.wav: Look at this beauty!

    Remember these are direct translations, so they don't sound/read quite right.

    There's also some regurgitated talk of weapons being dropped by enemy and picked up ala RPG, these wouldn't be diverse but apparently have minor boosts to current weapons +1.5% damage +4 clip size, that kind of crap, but I'm pretty sure this was talked about quite a while back so it's probably just some more nonsense.

    If this ever EVER surfaces, I'm sure the issue could easily be avoided with base weapons only servers. Or it may actually be... fun.

    Edit: Speaking of which, are there basic weapon only servers now? Like, no blutsauger or kritcrieg servers?
