- Go Spy.
- Type "Build 0" into console.
- Erect your dispenser.
- Rename yourself to "Spygineer".
- Break your "most healing as Spy" record.
- Risk getting punished by Valve. (Probably not but it could happen)

Something of the Cheater's Lament sort? I say let the dispenser stay and instead it saps all of your health at once after 3-5 seconds.

I say so to, a fake enemy dispenser that sucks away your ammo, would be better as its not as obvious.

BEST IDEA EVER.
Go post it on the official forums before someone steals your idea (though someone's probably thought of it already).

Ah man I hate the steam forums.....

It wouldn't be that severe. The Cheater's Lament was due to people using third party programs.
If Valve did decide to punish people for Spygineering it would be more in line with previous console-exploits. For example there was a time where you could equip any unlock for any class (Heavy's with Blutsaugers and that sort of thing), Valve punished those people by banning their unlocks for a month.
For this I think Valve will just fix it and move on but it would be wrong of me to say that there was no element of risk.

The nice thing about this is that the exploit has no ramifications outside of the game it was played, so there's no way to fairly punish anyone long term. The exploit, for instance, could add a new element to the "Spy v Engineer" gametype.

I was playing defense on Dustbowl this morning, and almost got killed by my own sentry because a sneaky spy placed a dispenser right next to me. (Sentry turned around to shoot the dispenser, I got hurt by the sentry gun fire.)

Will people on the steam forums ever figure out that imageshack sucks?

damn
I get home in 6 hours
They'll probably have it fixed by then.
3
Nope, still isn't fixed.
edit: I think they're more busy trying to keep the servers running as it's free weekend + double updates and the steam servers are dying.
1
Not fixed yet? I'm going to go play Spy right now.
2
Yeah, not fixed yet. It's pretty hilarious. I got kicked by a server admin already, but probably because he thought I was hacking or something. Other people think it's pretty hilarious and don't mind. I dunno what that particular person's problem was.
BTW, when you build, you lose your ability to sap things until you respawn.

type build 4 in console and you get your sapper. No idea if it actually works, since none of my buddies wanted to go engie.

Helps when it is your server :P

I need to take off work and go home right now.
1
I tried it. Twas good times confusing people.
1
Oh man this is fun. There's some time limit to how fast you can build these, not sure what it is. I thought it was like "imaginary metal," but then I tried to just wait and not get any ammo and I could still build another.
Anyways, bind key, spy into enemy base, build dispensers, ??????, spahs constructing mah dispenser!

rofl worthy.

For some reason when you pull out the toolbox your sapper disappears.

Fixed in today update.

Still working for me

I want to kill ImageShack.
I want to kill steam forums users. It all balances out.
I want to murder it so much.
I don't. I blame the autistic retards who know fully well that their image will die, yet still post to IS.
