Probably just the nature of things; You get a burst of trading for a while, and then it dies down again.

I for one object to that since I'm pretty sure some of us, through by trade or by drops, has at least one hat. Even if said "hat" is actually an Afro.

Instead, I propose Steam Trading Post of Leisure.

Picked up Chivalry a couple days ago. It's great fun! Sort of like Mount & Blade, except multiplayer-only and much prettier. So, like War of the Roses, only in my opinion the melee combat is executed better. It's a pretty damn fun game, when people don't run around teamkilling just to troll, or ignore the server rules.

I've kinda been wanting to play it. I haven't found a good capital ship simulator in a while.

The irony being that we're now getting more posts about picking a title for the trading thread than we were getting about trading.

Indeed, what are the names we have so far?

The Glorious TF2 Hat Exchange?
Hat Fortress 2: The Hattening
Hat Fortress 2: Electric Boogaloo
TF2: The Poor and the Irish
Trade Fortress: Saxton Hale Approved!
Saxton Hale and the Exchange of Goods/Hats
Mannconomy: On Economics and Hats
Tarnish notte the majesty of my TOWER of HATS
Steam Trading Post of Leisure.
TF2 Trading Thread: No, "Saxton Hale" Is Not An Anagram.

Think that is all of them so far at least. We shall see if we end up rolling a d% to figure out what the name will be. We could do "Hot Heavy on Medic Action" again ^^.

Did the Ghastly Gibus ever remove someone from the rolls of the Poor Irishmen? Quite a few people I've talked to feel that it doesn't, because of how dirt-common it is, and I think the Gibus was the first hat I ever got.

It doesn't because you get it from a dominantion, and it isn't craftable.

It's farmable.

I'm hatless.

The (Ghastly) Gibus is a Poor Irishman's hat. The Ghastlierest is less Poor and Irish due to coming from the Time Before F2P, but still not prestigious.

However, it can be like Scrooge McDuck's dime: absolutely worthless on its own, but a catalyst towards making one a hatted Gentlemanne of Leisure.

I have played it.

If you have nostalgia for the original you should get it yeah.

If you like current RTS's, both macro (like SupCom) or micro (like SC2), you probably won't like it. In Carrier Command you get a grand total of 8 units from two unit types. You customize them sure, but they are still two unit types.

Even if you feel no problem with the above you should wait a bit so they can patch out a lot of the bugs. Right now the pathfinding sucks. Yeah, the pathfinding in an RTS sucks.

Plus, it's singleplayer only.
