I need these demos!

Yeah, that's true. We'd have to be careful about abuse though, maybe if just the leader of a clan had access to changing the map etc. it would work without giving everyone power.

This is intended for very new players, no one in MiA needs to be attending these classes or playing in the pugs. This shouldn't be a chance to beat up on new guys, its just a chance for us to give them a good impression of TF2.

its really really really really really good i wish it was bigger though.

It's casual.

I have the G500... The Elder Wand of Mice. The mouse chooses the gamer Mr. Potter. That much has always been true to those who study Mouselore.

If you could emir, add good questions to the OP so it's a comprehensive FAQ.

What kind of pizza are you?

thank you

Are there STV's for these games?

I think it's important as a community we have a pizza discussion thread because it will give us a chance to bond. My favorite pizza type is: New York Style Pepperoni Mushrooms Crushed Red Peppers Parmesan sprinkled on top

There is a free agent thread for things like this.

I'm looking for a team that I can play for during the AFL Masters and hopefully a future clan. I won't be back in Asia until July 30th and I won't be able to travel to Singapore for any reason. Send me a message on Steam if you're interested in having me on your team. Name: Kig Class: Medic Country: India Languages Spoken: English Available Playing Times: Almost any day usually around 9pm SG time. Skill Level: 1 or 2 Steam Community Page: http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/kigbariom Other Information: I live in India so I don't get great ping everywhere. Also I'm American so I don't speak any language other than English.

Can someone hire me as medic, I will be back just as this thing takes off and I want to play!

Ok cool it. Just thought you didn't know what I meant.

That's not what I mean. I know how to use it I just want to know if the admins won't kick us us if we're not playing TF2. Because we used to just hang out there all day whether or not in TF2.

To be clear, TF2 only or will it be like StarHub. It was there for TF2 but you don't have to be playing TF2 to be there.

OrangeX 100% Crits obviously

I think we should make an Asia Community frag video, send it to eXtine. We will get some new visitors I guarantee that. We can get like 3-4 clips from each player, then make one big video. It will be like a feel good vid with great frags and great music without being over edited and it won't take us years. I'm happy to work on it since I have nothing over the summer, we just need cooperation and optimism like benny said.

What's the news on mumble?

Kigbariom Asiafortress Paper One Rough Draft Thesis: CB's two posts illustrate possible solutions to the "Post Ham Era" crisis but fail to mention key points and in some cases contradict each other. A new medium should be tested and used because it could lead to advancement of the community. In the first post CB mentioned a new medium for AsiaFortress. "International players are impressed and interested in our tiny scene, but you have to give them the proper platform and medium" (CB, 2011). The key terms are "platform" and "medium" which are currently represented by the Eclub or former StarHub servers. There is no specific UI or independent platform to support the organization of pugs. As mentioned in my previous post, the "TF2 Lobby" system provides this "platform" and "medium" in a popular and easy to use way. TF2 lobby has shown lots of dedication to maintaining its website as well as tracking stats and updating their system. It does have some negative connotation attributed towards it but again, it is a decent medium for TF2. StarHub being down has a detrimental effect on our community but also poses an opportunity to create new servers which do provide and R-CON password and lobby support. TF2 lobby actually does not fully support Asia because if an Asian server is used it is detected as a EU server from my personal experience with the platform. If what TF2 Lobby offers does not interest everyone we can use alternate methods like #tf2.pug.na which provides a similar service. You mentioned that our system was a "captain" system like #tf2.pug.na which is correct but again the only medium is through the server itself. In my opinion I think the IRC system could do even better than TF2 Lobby despite its UI and lack of accessibility. "You can have different platforms and mediums of approaching pugs but unless the players themselves show sincerity and dedication and play properly, it wouldn't do anything" (CB, 2011). This is a different medium and it does take sincerity and dedication like any platform. If the dedication is attributed to making a new system with an independent client then it could help the community grow once it is easier to approach. Yes, it will take up servers, and yes it may seem inaccessible unlike it used to be but this is how all of the other countries organize their pick up games. We are in an important transition phase as a community so the only thing that would hold us back is if we don't move forward. We may need players to test each system, we may need to take a few stabs at it, but it will benefit the community. It brings with it the benefit of possible stat tracking and the chance to make a distinction between the skill divisions in the Asia community. It just comes down to servers and change. So we should try to break out from our PUG system because right now is our chance. This sounds like a total DB response since I was so lame about the formatting but, you know I love you CB. I just like to have fun. TL;DR: Someone pay for some servers

A REAL solution, is to stop this makeshift pug system where we have a list of make believe rules. We need to obviously get someone who can provide servers, but more importantly, have this site get a PR team to talk with the guys behind TF2 Lobby to get Asia added as one of the regions. TF2 lobby can literally create a whole new community, and create 2 distinct levels between pugs and scrims.

What are we gonna do about Mumble Benny. That has a better chance of holding the community together than anything else.

Word on the street is that PGTF2 is not entering but we are. I will have a full lineup on the day of the event but its not 100% yet. If you really need to know it talk to me on steam and I will show it to you.
