    I like playing spy but I think the anti-pyro suit sounds like a ridiculously bad idea. I guess it does counter the times on payload maps where a pyro sits on a car backwards spraying fire everywhere. Also there won't be anymore of the pyro sitting on a sentry nest as protection.

    Honestly on most pubs the pyros aren't that annoying and its still easy to kill everyone. On the PA servers it is much harder because we have people who actually play pyro well and people who turn around when they see the backstab icon in the upper right.

    No, I am not really communist. Yes, it is weird that I use this name.

    If the pyro is flaming he isn't airblasting

    Though I could see them bringing some of it over to normal play(change sandman stun to a daze, please please)

    It isn't designed around 6vs6

    Nothing, I repeat, nothing is more satisfying than backstabbing the same person over and over and over and over (aka Flippy).

    I used to love playing spy exclusively.

    And this is why you're a bad person.

    I once ran up that side tunnel into the attic on goldrush and backstabbed five medics all with a fully charged uber. Those hours and hours of pyro flaming and endless luckshots, that grind of torment and bad luck is all worth it for that one glorious moment.

    If you want to take that analogy further it'd be like judging the entirety of human cutural and literary output by how many bangin' fightscenes were in the samples examined

    So yes under those ranking guidelines I'd probably fall flat in writing too

    Basically it's painfully obnoxious especially because once upon a time I was ranked #2 on the entire fucking server*

    Then just build little cardboard sentries, give them an audio device to make the beeping noise, and leave them all over the place.

    Scooting up next to what they want, not directly at them, and then lunging quickly and sending whatever it is flying 10 feet into the air

    As mentioned earlier in the thread, "hidepoints" will hide them from you.

    I may end up tweaking it a bit so that it's only one point lost per death. (Maybe three for scouts who die, because they're bastards.) Who knows.

    EDIT: Unrelated, but I've discovered that RC++ has a option that lets you change the mapcycle depending on the day. (I think that's a normal option anyway, but I'm lazy.) I'm *thinking* about setting up a "Flashback Fridays", where it'll load some of the classic maps from years past.

    Things like Science, CTF_Quarry (the one with the minecarts), Labor, Impact, Corporation, and others. Any suggestions?
