What? - playing competitive TF2 pickup-games (6vs6 (mostly), 7vs7, Highlander etc) for fun and general shits and giggles. usually for about an hour, maybe less, maybe more! we'll be using mumble for comms, so make sure you have that and a working mic.

Who? - anyone! this is open both to SpAs and the community, and as we're doing this just for fun, you're not going to be pigeonholed into playing X class. whilst soldier, scout, demo and medic are the 4 main classes in pickups, we can always mix it up a bit (for fun, yes? :p) and if we play bigger games then we will be needing a variety of classesanyway. even then, don't worry about if you end up playing your 2nd, 3rd or even 9th best class. we're not being super hyper competitive, just so long as you're comfortable with what your doing then cool beans. you could even look at is an opportunity to brush up on your rusty, say, scout skills!

Where? - this is decided for each individual pickup; it could be at the opponents warserver, or at one of our own. there's talk that if there's enough interest in this, we could have another warserver put up, which would be pretty sweet.

When? - the beauty of this is that you can grab a few guys and get a game whenever you feel like it, but to get (and keep) the ball rolling I reckon would should aim to play fairly often on Saturdays/Sundays, 8/9pm CET (7/8pm British time).
Where do I sign up? - right here! again, don't worry about "ooh but I suck at class (x)", we don't mind - we're not looking for skill, just people that enjoy playing competitively, and our only concern is that you're happy with the class you end up playing

*Big Ol' Signup List* - (I took the liberty of adding everyone involved in last nights pickup, as you all sounded quite keen to go it again. just let me know if you want anything changed ) I should mention that it's not super important that you sign up, because if we're still a few people short and we think you could fill the space, we'll be asking you in steam anyways ;D

* = part of a warteam so may already have a matched planned with them.
** = says don't ask him first :p

edit 22/10/09: this list is pretty huge now; big enough that, chances are, on any given night (not just Sat/Sun) we can get a pickup going, maybe even more than 1 at the weekend. also, don't hang around waiting for me to start one - if you wanna play, with this many people interested then you should find more than enough players, so go for it yourself!

Anything else? - so that anyone can organise a match any time, I'll copy and paste Sonny's awesome guide to getting a game going. it also talks about some basic 6vs6 strategy, and while both the strategy and class lineup are far from set in stone (FUN guys D;) it's a good introduction to the basics.

I'm sure in it any time (of course thre will be some exception for sure)

Willing to join anytime.

sign me up..
only wanna play medic though, since i hate playing scout xD

just looking through the details of the 7vs7; it's classlimit 1 and we would need to have a server with a 7vs7 config running on it, which might be a bit of a hassle (or it might not be idk). thoughts?

I think to play in 6 vs 6 is more apropiate being the "standard" competitive play, as for sign up to a league I think we better setup a base team who know how to work together and after that to try our skill in some kind of a league

Captain awesome is in? Daaaamn I want his heals o:

can I take that as a yes then? ;D

Surely, I heard I was a damn fine low---- scout.. oh.. soldier?
Well.. I'll play anything but demo xD

You can ask me when you are short on people. I'm already in a warteam so i think its a bit more fair to people who aren't in a team yet, and want to play.

Would be lovely to get some experienced people in this since that way we'll learn more from the games.
I think our biggest problem besides being somewhat disorganized was that our soldier, demoman didn't know how to properly get to mid, but that shouldn't be that hard to learn

ofc i'm in
and it's for sonny

Sign me up! Can be reached on IRC (sedde) and steam
Pretty good solly and can play medic when needed. Well anything is ok really as long as I don't have to play demoman

Etc.

Thats advanced already.

Ye, ofc they are but if you're trying to improve the team's mid attack time it's the perfect place to start.

sig me up....prefeably medic but any other class will do, cant you create a steam group that we can join and see who we can invite since i dont have everybody in my friendslist

Scat, maybe its an idea to mention that mumble is sort of a requirement?

knew I'd forgotten something, thanks

long but helpful guide

nice guide. just read throught the medics and the basic, but good ones.

if anyone's interested in playing in the 7vs7 league particularly, make an account at wireplay and I'll add you to the team roster
http://tf2.wireplay.co.uk/7v7/

Sign me up. I'm part of warteam#1 but I can definately play one day or another. I'm also happy with any class; plus:



I am at your command

Sign me up as well, I already have an account there~ (futari of course ;p)
Since I don't play for any warteam it's all good for me

I can play anything (but not demo.. scum of the earth ) low so ye~

Fut, you cannot join another team in wp even if its another format. You either have to leave the current team or this http://ftp.wireplay.co.uk/pub/teamfortr ... lclan.html (I am currently trying to reach an admin because of this but wp's irc-channel is hella dead -__-)

I know, I saw it as well.. will try and contact them as well (good old wireplay times.. pfft)

Sign me up.

If there's possible, assign my primary class after my name: Medic.

will do; but I think for the majority we'll get to know what classes everyone likes and dislikes soon enough anyway

sign me up! i can play any class besides scout,spy,demo,medic,solider, heavy, pyro, sniper, engi....

that only leaves the spectator...why you would want that i don know
