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 only "cap" the cart on hightower when i need health or ammo. However, i do make sure not to end the match.

[@DMGamer_PC]

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.

Here's something fun and better to do if you're hoovy-ing on a somewhat serious server: Instead of throwing a sandwich during a player fight or duel, wait until it ends, and throw a sandwich to the victor. That way, the actual match and fighting isn't hindered, and you can still be a nice ol' hoovy handing out free health.

One of the funniest things that has happened to me in tf2 was on merc park. My entire team minus a few pyros decided to do the kazotcy kick into battle so we had a line of people doing the kick as the round started and as soon as we rounded the corner a spy came up behind and backstabbed me so hard I went ragdoll across the map. It was hillarious.

This is what I like to call the skill recognition interaction. I once faced a similar situation in a ctf turbine match. The match was pretty intense and everyone was playing dead serious and trying their best. Then I get in face of this Pyro, degreaser+flare gun Pyro. I have the exact same load and we start basically shooting mid range flares and... We both reflect each of the other one flare until we both run out of gas... When realizing that we shouldn't bother sending each other projectiles because it was waste, we stopped right in the middle and went on a high five. It was furiously fun to experience such interaction. Both our team members shot the other while high five. We weren't even mad but we shared a fucking awesome Pyro moment.

I whip around for a second to see my medic in shambles, whip back around to the pyro who is just standing there, I give him a "good shot", I hear thanks, I throw down a sandvich and we both casually walk past eachother.

1 more hidden rule that I always hear. Friendlies have no right to complain getting killed, usually in a server, like casual and community, everyone usually understand the tryhard/friendly rule, meaning that they dont mind a friendly playing in a serious game, but the moment some newbie or a tryhard comes in and kills them for some reason, they have no right to complain, instead just move on and find a new spot.

[@HabitualThinker]

No, because this doesn’t always apply. If someone KNOWS you’re a friendly, you have the right to complain; because yknow, they knew you were a friendly. It’s the same as killing someone who tabbed out for like two seconds and was standing in a corner away from the fight, bro you’re still the asshole

I was so confused and started shooting people. When I shot someone, everyone on blu shot me back. I asked in the chat what was going on and someone expanded too me what a Friendly is.
