Do you want a medal? do you suck at tf2? then this is for you.

ok, so in another thread, MissMolli suggested making a team of people who suck at the game.

We should make a team of people who suck. Maybe they'd give us a medal for being the most terrible.

now, given that there are participation medals given to anyone who enters, i think this is a good idea. so i propose we act on this, and make a team of basically anyone who wants to join and isn't already on another team.

unfortunately, i know absolutely nothing about how this all works, so if someone could fill me in or, even better, take charge of this, that'd be great.

p.s. you don't actually have to suck at tf2, this is just for people who want a medal but know they don't really have a chance of making it into a proper team for whatever reason.

**Some things to keep in mind: **

1. registration for the tournament has not yet begun, but will probably start some time around april 25th.

2. the actual tournament will not be held until may/june, so don't get all excited just yet.

3. if you post here expressing an interest, i WILL reply to you once registration starts to confirm whether you're still interested and whether you just want a medal or would prefer to play a few rounds for fun.

4. keep in mind this is a EUROPEAN tournament, and as such american players will have high ping, and the matches may take place at strange times. hopefully we'll have more details once registration opens, but for now, know that if you're in america you may have to be free at weird times in order to participate. if it turns out you aren't really free during these times, you might consider joining the "i'm just here for a medal and am going to lose the first round on purpose" team to get your medal ASAP and then leave. at this time, however, this is just speculation.

edit apr. 10: i have PM'd everyone (i think) in this thread a short questionnaire to help me and MissMolli make some teams. if i missed you, please PM me or reply here and i'll send you one. if i sent you one and you're not interested, ignore it. once i have replies from most of the people here we'll start putting teams together. if you're just seeing this thread now, you can still reply and make it into a team. hopefully once the teams are formed you will be able to adapt as necessary within your teams after solid dates/times for the tournament have been announced.

edit apr. 15: we've started putting together teams at this point, if you're interested you can still reply here, but you may have to wait until we've set up the teams and then talk to the individual team leaders depending on how things work out.

also a big thanks to MissMolli, who has been and continues to be extremely helpful throughout this endeavour :)

Pick me! Pick me!

I don't actually suck at TF2, I just don't care. So when I do care, I'm really good. When I don't care, I'm really bad.

But yeah, I want one of those medals.

I think I'm in the same situation, hehehehe.

yup, sounds good. the only thing is that the thing you linked was posted march 25, so it's more like 1-2 weeks than 3-4 (unless it's been updated and i missed that?). as of right now i count 7 potential teammates (including myself), 15 minutes after i posted, so it's likely we'll end up with more than one team :P

heh, your help is very much appreciated and if you'd like to take some initiative and start setting some stuff up that'd be awesome. tbh i really didn't expect this many people to be interested :P

that said, it seems a bit early to start forming the teams when we don't even have a definite registration date, not to mention the date/time for the actual tournament. my thinking is to wait until registration opens or more details become available, then to confirm with everyone whether or not they'd still be interested and in what capacity (such as medals vs effort, whether they'd like to lead a group, etc...) and then start putting the teams together. the steam group idea is a very good one, although i'm not very experienced with how the system works >.>

I would also be up for doing this.

Also, realize that these games will be played on European servers, so all of us in the U.S. will have latency issues during this tournament.

Since we'll have high pings anyway and timezone differences, I propose we get drunk before playing.

Calcy, CALCY!? Here eat a pill.

I've eaten so many from you, I think I might burst. D:

Also, you and the DH together make me cry.

Even more chances to suck! ...great...

Hell, I'd be up for this. I'm absolutely terrible at scout (have stats of 1 kill for every 2 deaths), and also live in Britain with crappy ping!

2
rdewalt•

Good idea. Team pre-requisite could be "Must be torrenting heavily"

3
TooLateRunningOP•

i bet i'm worse at scout than you. medics routinely kill me, and i can't aim for shit :/

that said, i'm alright at some other classes.

oh, and the fact that you're in britain shouldn't matter much given that it's a european tournament. you'll probably have an advantage over those of us in the U.S.

I'd love to join in, I can play crappy if needs be.

I'll join and play with mittens on.

2
TooLateRunningOP•

you should play while riding a sandworm and high on spice.

What's to say I can't play while riding a sandworm and high on spice while wearing mittens?

Mittens: The finest choice for desert apparel.

I suck. I wouldn't mind a medal but it sounds like it would be fun anyways. Can I join and be cool too? :(

oh now this I'd love to do. I've been meaning to make an 'anti-frag' video. One with all the HDR res, cut scenes, and music by Pendulum. Done all nice and high quality - except all of it is people failing. Rocket jumping that blows you up, getting stuck in doors, popping that uber a tad too late and dying, or popping it 30 seconds before the gates open, etc etc. Lets do this!

I'm an expert at rocket-jumping myself to death upon takeoff. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one.

I'd love to play to try and get past second last place.

I suck at most classes, but I have my moments. I'm down for either Team Lemmings or a more serious attempt.

This sounds like fun, I'm up for it.

I think we'd need more than one team.

Anyone up for joining "The sixpacks"?

I'm interested.

This is relevant to my shittyness. And I want to play in a tournament to have lots of lack-of-skill induced fun.

sure could be fun, not really sure how good or bad I am. sometimes things go well, sometimes they don't. put me in a team that doesn't just want to lose :)

I'd be quite happy to contribute my awfulness to any team that will have me. Cheers, mate!
