Steam Groups - Join up!

There's a variety of groups on Steam that certain members from this forum have created related to these games, ranging from vague to actually useful. If you'd like to be part of these, either ask a member of the group you wish to join, or message one of the Administrators there. Or create a new group for a game that hasn't been listed, or otherwise fills a niche. A few of these listed here;

• Giant in the Playground
• Chocolate Hammer
• GitP L4D2
• GitP Killing Floor
• GitP/ChHa Competitive TF2

We now have some servers intended for a few specific titles, supported by donations.

♥♥♥♥♥

Team Fortress 2

The Chocolate Hammer TF2 server can be found @ 68.232.183.52:27015

Featuring semi-regular Friday/Saturday friendly competitive matches. Either held on the server itself, or a lobby made on TF2Lobby. If you want to join on a comp match, it's a good idea to register here, just in case.

• Maps, direct access: Refer to potatocubed (GitP, Steam) if you have suggestions or if the server has vanished.

• Add-ons, coding: Refer to Djinn_in_Tonic (GitP, Steam) if you have suggestions.

Private Server

Then there's the newest member of the GitP / ChHa server family, Drol and Girlfriend's Super Happy Fun Time. (SHaFT) This is a smaller, private server for use by us. It is password protected, so there'll be no disjointed gameplay.

1. When the comp team is having practice/holding a scrim, do not connect. There is a separate password for such, so unless you know the right password, you can't get on. When we aren't doing anything, everyone from GitP / ChHa is free to use it. (On the subject on the competitive team, do not ask to be on it. If the team want you to be on it, you will be contacted.)
   
2. You're at the mercy of the whims of drolkcal and mightymonarch. If they feel like Prophunt, it's going to be on Prophunt. If they feel like ammomod, it's going to be on ammomod.
   
3. Don't ask to be an admin or a mod. It's probably not going to happen.
   
4. To obtain the password, please PM mightymonarch for it, or on Steam.
   
5. This TF2 server can be found @ 68.232.169.101:27015
   
6. Temporary password is chha.

[Volatar]

I totally call first post.

[mightymonarch]

New thread ho!

[Pie Guy]

I'm a moderator, fyi.

[Imposter]

I'm a moderator, fyi.

That list is from ages ago. The actual list is huge.

[KBF]

That list is from ages ago. The actual list is huge.

The only one that matters is KBF though. And just ignore the admin list.

[Valaqil]

I actually re-compiled the list at one point. It increased at least twofold. I posted it ... and Djinn told me it wasn't nearly full enough. We sort of ignore the moderator list now, afaik. Too many names to bother.

[watsyurname529]

Ahh... that new thread smell...

[The Linker]

You smell that? That's Crazy Gabe yer smelling.

Tell him, boys. Tell him you like it.

[Sleverin]

The only one that matters is KBF though. And just ignore the admin list.

You didn't answer me in the last thread KBF...do you live near Neovid? If you do, you live near me! :O

Also, Oh no mentioned he wondered what I look like. Well, loyal viewers, here's a news clip involving my work!

News thingy.

If you can't tell, I'm the fat kid at the cash register....I'm only in it for a second :P This may be from a while ago (a year or more?) but I look the same. Seriously, I've looked the same for years and years....

[The Linker]

I was on the news once in grade 5. Well... the back of me.

The news came to our school for our official opening ceremony, and everyone was supposed to be in uniform -- white shirt and blue pants.

I forgot. So... there was this sea of white with this little red speck in the back row.

I stood out! :D

[Griever]

You'll excuse the stupid question.

Any idea when they should release the specific dates/times of the Highlander matches?

[Byrnbot08]

My thread name got chosen.

You guys.

/manlytears

[Rutskarn]

You smell that? That's Crazy Gabe yer smelling.

Tell him, boys. Tell him you like it.

You smell good, Gabe. You smell real good.

[Thanatos 51-50]

I refuse to Tell Crazy Gabe I like things I don't like.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get into a screwdriver/knife-fight with Carnivorous Space Monkeys.

[shadow_archmagi]

New thread ho!

That is volotar's new title

[Fluff & Napalm]

^^^ Agreed.

[Volatar]

That is volotar's new title

I am confused. Should I laugh, or feign being offended?

[Dread Cthulhu]

The title is still Steam Thread XV, just so you know.

And no we should eat, onasuma. Food is so much more fun.

[shadow_archmagi]

I am confused. Should I laugh, or feign being offended?

both, obviously

[Treayn]

You'll excuse the stupid question.

Not sure myself.

[ShortOne]

Completely off-topic to the off-topicness...

Has anyone else noticed that damage in TF2 seems to be broken? Yesterday, as he stepped out of spawn, I one-shotted a scout for what claimed to be 6 damage. Not only did he die, I was the solo murderer.

Beyond that, the entire game suddenly feels weird. I don't know how to describe it any better, and I'm aware that it could be completely on my end, but things are just weird all of a sudden.

I'm off to read patch notes to see what exactly these bidaily updates were doing.

[The Linker]

Wait, what? What did you use?

Also, is there an off-chance he was already heavily hurt and ran into spawn to heal, but then promptly forgot why he was in there and ran out?

[Jibar]

I suspect a lot of these miniature updates are basically gearing up towards the Polycount/Trading update, which they previously said required a lot of background work on the Steam software itself and how TF2 interacts with it.
Total bugger ups are to be expected.

[ShortOne]

A scattergun, and it was the beginning of the match. I was also nowhere near melee range.

[The Linker]

Daaaayum.

I remember it was possible to one-shot Scouts with the scattergun back when they had 95 health with the Sandman, but I don't think one can do 110 damage with one shot, no matter how close they are...

Messed up.

[Treayn]

Scattergun does 105 base dmg. I don't know how much it does with damage spread on.

[KBF]

Well, doesn't damage stop counting towards assists after just a few seconds? He might have just been running to a health pack when you shot him.

[ShortOne]

He was literally right outside out of one of Blu's entrances on Badwater. I was waaay back on the rock cluster a few away from the entrance to the tunnel. The starting whistle had blown not two seconds before. I was stunned.

[The Linker]

...Wait wait wait.

Are you sure it wasn't a Blu spy who ran outside the spawn disguised as a Blu Scout and used a Dead Ringer?

Cause that DOES just drop a Scout corpse. They're tricky that way.
