Topic: Update ... busy server ... wow

[Focused Moments]

Logged onto our TF2 server this evening - 18 players on.  Wow ... I think - and no clan members.

Then I see they're all a bunch of lamo's powering themselves up with achievements for the new pyro abilities.

Some guy starts whining at people trying to play.  I said to him ... this isn't an achievement server, it's a playing for fun server ... one of our 'kinda regulars' informed me one of our clan members (who's name I won't post for public annihilation) started the trend earlier this evening.

Personally, I'm a fan of playing, not powering up cheaply the classes.  Surprised we would encourage this on our servers.

I apologize, FoMo.  I was going to let it happen for a couple of maps as long as the majority of players seemed interested. 

Then I got sleepy...and I wanted to watch a documentary on Idi Amin, so I split. 

But your complaint has helped me make a decision: as long as I'm on the server--and not outranked by other kI luminaries--kI TF2 will be the straight game.

kI luminary = glowing asshole...es verdad?

[quorn]

C'est vrai.

The thing is MoFo, when the medic pack came out, the achievements were so hard to get we had no choice but to do an achievement night to farm them. It was planned, passworded server and everyone knew.

That wasnt as well planned from what I saw last night and there's not really any need to farm the achievements for pyro this time around except a few. Even there, you don't need to get them all for the unlocks.

Only with respect to Schneedy.

It just wouldn't be a kI topic if someone didn't attempt to derail it.  Just trying to keep the kI atmosphere alive. 

And Al, I know I'm bright.

I went in wanting to play.  So i spent a little time griefing.

Then i spent time trying to pick quorn out of the crowd (and only quorn).

Then i tried to be a good sport and got a few of the achievements.   Then I realized that I was right initially that it was stupid and boring to farm these things and I left.

Lol. That story made my day. Thanks Meph.

And to stay on point...farming seems a little cheap to me.  I'd rather be surprised when I get an achievement.

[anomaly]

yea, i like to earn stuff the normal way too...

its not that i think farming is bad tho. heck, i put my K/D ratio on the line for the players that had the Medic achievement night cuz it was fun for those that wanted them.

i just think that i personaly would have more fun getting them "in game"

[Jader]

What the heck do you farm? this sounds like your playing wow or somthing

[LadyShadow]

All I can say is, people in our clan should know better.

[ORANGEKID]

  Are you guys really that upset about the farming?

[mephisto_kur]

Upset?  No.  Annoyed?  VERY.

Which is why the next time this gets set up I will make sure I am on hand to a provide the best griefing I can - in the way of 24 hour bans.
