One time, I joined a Hightower map with no idea about the “no capping” rule, and my team tried to kick me. Luckily, someone stuck up for me and said to the others that I probably had no idea. When I asked what I was missing, that player explained it in a civil manner. I didn’t bother going near the nearly capped cart after that and mostly spent my time on that server jumping off the cliff as a scout. So thank you to the nice player who stopped everyone from kicking me and explained the no cap deal

I don’t understand the point of the “no cap rule.” You can just requeue again for another match. Especially if the round has gone on for ages. People make the argument that bots will join, but bots join regardless even mid game when people leave, and people DO inevitably leave mid game in scenarios where the match is extended.

I think one of the silliest and best moments I had with the game was in a casual KotH match. When the match was starting and everyone was still loading in, the five people on my team all ended up picking sniper by coincidence in the pregame. When the match actually started and we had all our players, we organized in the team chat to all start as heavy, and we all started revving our guns out of spawn. It led to one of the most beautiful moments of twelve revving heavies all coming over the hill at once and mowing down everyone as the other team loses their minds. Of course, when they respawned we got wiped out almost immediately. So we all spawned in as trolldiers. And then demo knight. Then pyro. Then spy. We basically threw the match, but everyone in the match was clearly having a good time. We were all having fun coordinating what to do next and trying to get creative with it, and the other team was laughing their asses off and trying to guess what was coming next. This is honestly a memory I hold close to my heart, because to me it is the definitive TF2 experience. A beautiful mix of unexpected goofiness, fun, and some actual honest-to-god effort from both teams to making the game as interesting and fun as possible.

I love TF2 because of both the serious and silly parts: I mostly play to win, no matter if with a meme loadout or a more meta one, it's fun. But it's also fun to just stop attacking and taunting with the other team. This creates a certain kind of respect and proves that you're both trying to have fun. It's also okay to have a huge conga line for a while, then go back to shooting at each other. I prefer this randomness, and I think it fits any server that isn't purposely serious, competitive or MvM. Being nice to other people and asking things helps too.

My teacher said something about compromises. This is what he said. “A compromise means that both sides are not happy, but no side is angry.” Or something like that. I feel that is that you intended with this video

[@mr.cup6yearsago211]

Of course, in practice this means that both sides are pissed off while accomplishing nothing, but sure.

The only issue I can see with the 50/50 rule is the fact that (as soundsmith said) “The unexpectedness of seeing a friendly in an otherwise serious match part of what gives being friendly its charm.” and vice versa (while the expectedness of seeing a friendly in a friendly server... destroy the “charm”).

[@ananmaysahu4563]

Yeah but finding a server where there's a dude flying everywhere bonking people with a shovel and there's a spycrab spamming spy voice command and there's a mix of red and blue people dancing next to a cliff and a scunt is just asking people to vote who he should yeet off with his FaN in chat again and again... You can enjoy that for a while when you queue up and it appears out of nowhere.

Always try to play to win, but if you stumble across something silly, enjoy it and then get back to the game

[@YoshiONE2ONE]

For me, it depends on the gamemode I'm playing. If its Payload or Attack/Defend, the presence of friendlies does get annoying very quickly. But if its something like CTF or Payload Race, then I'm not really going to give a shit.

[@JoyFerret]

I agree with this. Most of the silly matches I've had have been on maps without time limit, like 2fort or Hightower.

[@DeanL6_]

Me too bro

[@daddyofjune]

I agree, as long as they don’t have the intel but refuse to cap in CTF, they’re fine.

[@hppeti-dz9zs]

I agree attack defense and payload(normal) should be taken seriously but ctf and hightower are mostly filled with frienlies and its awesome

[@theillusionmaster7030]

Unless I die to a friendly or get mad or go insane , I won't kill friendlies , and I respect tryhards , cuz they , just want to win , and won't be toxic , but if I , you know , I'll kill everyone , no matter who it is , and hate people who start saying I'm bad , cuz I once carried a full p2p team , and I was the only f2p , and I was on the top of the scoreboard , and still called as a bad player.

[@lunaisuppose]

I remember one time a friendly brought the intel back to the enemy team’s base..

[@lunaisuppose]

Then they vote kicked me for trying to cap.
