    Why use vent when Tuftoo has it's own perfectly good voice chat function?

    Speccing could lead to shady behaviour among friends (just sayin')

    Maybe we should just record demos and make them available later, that way there can be no accusations of ghosting and other bullshit

    you can pretty much ghost with vent.

    Spec over to where the enemy team is while dead, pipe in over vent chat, and voila, pretty much ghosting.

    I believe there are plug-ins that can prevent that.

    IIRC it's something along the lines of only being able to spec team mates in first person view, so you can only see what they see.

    I do a perimeter sweep every night and set up claymores at likely entrance points to my apartment. I double check that my shotgun is loaded and the eight pistols I have secreted about have the safety off and a round in the chamber.

    here's a hint: if you guys are walking out of a corridor, make sure you send the medic(s) out first. really, it's your safest bet. this should make sense later.

    How does being an alternate work? Do you just get a message via Steam from a team that needs you?

    I don't give a shit about "ghosting", IF I KILL SOMEBODY AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE, SO AS TO NOT BE DETECTED, I do not want to be detected regardless. That's some bullshit right there.

    It just adds another mini-game to playing spy. Knife them and hack their Vent server. Now that is espionage.

    I withdraw from the tourney because I would rather not play a game where dead people can call out spies, also, computer problems are being quite annoying, and I have to do some college entrance shit for AP, and Neotokyo has stolen my heart.

    We've used vent in all the tourneys, and I've done just fine as spy. Stop whining. There's enough lag and people with slow reaction timing that you can still usually chain backstabs if you normally could.

    You can't really ghost when all you can spec is other teammates in first person point of view. To really ghost you would have to get a friend to spec and warn you guys of everything, which I don't think is going to be allowed. If it is, I don't think most people would do it.

    using vent is more about leveling the playing field. sure you can ghost, but its better than one team doing it and one team not.

    also erich should stop playing NT because he is bad at the game

    To be honest, there's only a short window where you could even ghost and by then, you're almost spawned.

    It's liter-re-re ike a 2 second advantage.

    Whole point of vent is to A) prevent people from listening and B) tell useful information to your team AFTER you die.

    Ever get backstabbed only to watch the spy run straight towards your team, freeze shot of him about to backstab a friendly sniper/heavy? There's a sense of urgency and panic right when you spawn to let everyone know of the rape that is about to unfold. Ya. That's prevented with vent.

    It's not ghosting, it's just informing your team of enemies ahead of time cause they kilt yo ass :D

    Plus Vent is so much more clear. And everyone sounds funny in Vent after getting used to them in Steam voice chat. Especially Tyrannus, you can actually hear the flabs of fat flapping in the wind as he talks.

    Being able to talk while dead seems kind of cheesy.

    'OMG A SPY' as you look through a variety of cameras or something.

    Listen: We've been having these FPS tournaments for quite some time, even before TF2. While there has been drama in the past, it has to my knowledge never involved ghosting, vent trickery or any such cocksuckery. This tournament hasn't even begun and some of you are already saddling up the Drama Llama. Chill the fuck out. Play the game, mind your own team and everything will work out, I promise.
