GitP/ChHa Server Thread IV: For Science. You Monster.

[watsyurname529]

cp_catwalk coming right up...

Cap speed is based on clothing items now. Generic hats are x1, misc slots are x2, x3 if the item is unique or ultra rare (e.g. Gentlemann's Service Medal).

[Worira]

So what does a soldier wearing the Towering Pillar of Hats and the Service Medal get? What if he also takes the Pain Train?

[Mando Knight]

This is the expressly stated purpose of TF2

I meant Alien Swarm. It's a game designed to make Steam players work to get another hat for TF2.

If it's cp_catwalk, the pain train does nothing but the Towering Pillar of Hats would either be a x3 for all three hats or x1 because it's considered one hat in the inventory.

Oh, I know. But TF2 is all about hats. That's the only reason people play Alien Swarm in the first place. Have acquired hat, now back to L4D2.

[Fawkes]

Bluh bluh can't get into my steam account bluh.

[ShortOne]

The game is actually a devious method of making people do more tricks to get hats.

It's one big hat trick!

Har. Har. Har.

[Worira]

I'm still annoyed that doesn't take three missions.

[Valaqil]

I'm still annoyed that doesn't take three missions.

Now that you mention it, I'm annoyed. I didn't actually stop to count and think about it.

[Volatar]

....I don't get the joke here.

[Bryn]

....I don't get the joke here.

A "hat trick" refers to... well, here in the UK it means scoring three goals in football (that's soccer to Americans), but Wikipedia informs me that it also applies to other feats done three times.

The "Hat Trick" achievement in Alien Swarm requires two games.

Explaining jokes makes them less funny.

[kpenguin]

....I don't get the joke here.

In sports, a hat trick is to score or otherwise do something cool three times in succession. Like score three goals in hockey in a single game or get a bullseye with all three darts in a round.

[watsyurname529]

....I don't get the joke here.

So it should take three times playing Alien Swarm or winning three games to get the hat.

[Phase]

Maybe that's the point, maybe Valve's just trolling all you guys who care.

Player: Awesome! I got a hat! What for?

Valve Employee: You beat two levels of Alien Swarm! Congrats!

Player: "Hat Trick..." But, wait, a hat trick involves doing something three times...

Valve Employee: We know.

Player: But it only calls for two times here...

Valve Employee: We know.

Player: VAAAAAAALVVEEEE!

Valve Employee:

Yeah, Valve is pretty damn good at it too.

[Byrnbot08]

Trolls. All employees of Valve are trolls of the highest calibre. Their leader, Gabe Newell, is their warmaster. This is fact.

Trolololololo

[Reynard]

Is this the right thread to come to to ask for an invite into the Steam group?

I should warn you that I've only been playing TF2 for a grand total of three hours, and against the offline bots, so I'll probably die screaming in pieces while on fire fairly often.

Steam name is Akigagak, if this is the right place.

[Vitruviansquid]

Oh you'll be fine. Just follow the three golden rules:

1. Play according to the objective.

2. Objectives are usually a lot easier to accomplish if you can kill guys without dying yourself, so don't commit suicide to push the cart forward an inch.

3. Don't be like Dan.

[Volatar]

Ah. You brits and your strange jokes. Thats why I didn't get it

[Valaqil]

well, here in the UK it means scoring three goals in football (that's soccer to Americans)

It means the same here, Valve notwithstanding. And it should be football. I don't know why we needed to make another name for a sport that already has one.

Well, American football should really be called handfootshoulderkneeheadribconcussionball, because it uses all those bodyparts and results in a concussion, intentionally or not.

Similarly, football (soccer) should be called headfootshoulderkneeanklechestgoalie'shandsandarmb all. For the obvious reasons.

So, the American National Football League should really be acronymed as such: NHFSKHRCL

Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA, for those confused,) or International Federation of Association Football if you wanna use the English name and be antsy about it, should be the IFAHFSKACGHA.

Some people say I'm pedantic. I find no such cause for such baseless accusations.

[Scuzzball]

Just a note, everyone who wants into the steam groups, they are all open, and if you search for them, you will find them.

[Reynard]

My eyes say different.

Membership by invite only

While all this points to Australian Rules football being the correct one as it's only Footandhandball.

Exactly. Australians have the purest form of footandhandball, so this mean that their knowledge of the moustache sciences is complete and undeniaohgod. THE AUSTRALIANS HAVE IT RIGHT. This proves everything. This is why the English football team suck so much.

[Scuzzball]

My eyes say different.

Fine, but that's the old page. New page is here.

Friend Scuzzball555, and I'll add you to the other group.

Edit: Actually, don't. I'm leaving for a few weeks. Get someone else to.

[Penguinizer]

Could we remove the new Payload race where the final part is raising the cart on a lift from the server or at least set a round time limit on it? Even though the airblast spam was humorous for a bit, it just takes way too long for one team to manage to cap it. It's frustrating.

Man, I hate that map so much.

Does the chance of getting your ear torn off make it purer?
