tell you what, this is how passionate i am about this. @WiLLmaTiC I am officially challenging you to a boxing match/fight or whatever (ive never been in a fight so fuck if i know how it works), best of 3, winner gets to decide what format and # of teams there are in the division below invite. I know we both live in the LA area cause ya went to LAN (and I almost did) so you don’t even have to go that far. Tell you what, I’ll make the deal sweeter. If you win, I’ll also give you $300 with my broke college student ass. I’m only like 5’8 and 230 pounds so you probably got a good chance here. just DM me on discord and we can talk about this. I am being 1000% unironic here, no joke. I’m here in LA till May 11th big boy, lets make this happen.

Reporting people for stuff said in a private discord is so stupid and is just gonna stop people from wanting to play RGL. What is even more ridiculous is asking for permanent bans for slurs. “Hate speech” is free speech and making any other distinction is a very dangerous path towards just banning wrongthink.

I think that private discords are exactly that, private. What happens in them stays in them. Who really gives a shit if a couple of basement dwellers decide to say a couple gamer words in a private discord? How would you even find out unless you are actively searching for those gamer words? I mean come on, people have a freedom to say what they want in explicitly private groups.

I even hold the personal belief that you should be able to say the n-word and such in-game, since in the end its just a word, granted you aren’t using it as a slur and just a replacement for the word “dude” or anything casual like that. But do I really care? Not really. In the end its just a word, any power it holds over you is only because you let it hold that power of you.

The current rules are absolutely fine. The vast majority of people do not care about some people in private discords saying some funny words or whatever, and this is just stepping wayyyy over those boundaries of encroaching on free speech.

To the original poster of this and whoever agrees with him (and I do not mean this as an insult or anything of the sort): grow thicker skin. Stop letting things that barely affect you hold power over you, and you will both have a better time in RGL and in real life.

Have a good day everyone.

Hello,

I’ve recently created a Discord bot that can make your pug running experience 10x easier!

Features list:

• Can auto roll captains and then let the captains move people into the pug channels themselves
• Can just autoroll the appropriate amount of people and randomize the teams, then move them into the appropriate channels.
• Can automatically move everyone out of their pug channels once the pug is over.
• Will automatically send connect and team info to all members of the pug once the pug starts (or manually with $sendinfo).
• Can send RCON commands to the appropriate TF2 server from Discord!
• And more to come!

This bot works with any game type that has an even amount of players (which should be every type, I don’t see why you’d play pugs with uneven players).

If you would like to invite this bot to your servers, use the following link: https://discord.com/api/oauth2/authorize?client_id=799514260559888425&permissions=8&scope=bot
You can use $help to get started.

DM Kastaling#7893 on Discord with any questions, comments, or concerns! Or just feel free to comment here lol.

LFG!!!

while i am sad i will not be able to show off my boxing skills that i have been working so hard to improve upon, this marks a great day for advanced. clearly they understand what we want so hopefully they will actually give us a clean season of 8 team RR advanced

hello gentlemen

I’m looking to play on a dedicated, hardworking, and ambitious team next season. I’m currently on asian’s sweatshop and we are playing for 3rd place next weekend.

Hello! I am pleased to announce the launch of the Tf2 Log Searcher! http://deeznuts.link/Tf2LogSearcher/

This website allows you to search an entire person’s logs.tf history for any word or phrase you want!

Once I get all the logs downloaded, I plan to use them for more interesting statistics.
Things like:

• Average DPM of each class across each gamemode (and map too probably)
• Leaderboard of who has said any given word the most!
• Death heatmaps for each gamemode and map (big maybe)
• Probably other cool things that I can’t think of right now.

Contact Kastaling#7893 on Discord for any comments, suggestions, or concerns! or feel free to comment here of course.
I am open to any ideas for the website!

hello, i have achieved 4th in advanced this season but i have been improving steadily and i am ready for more

@cyclowns Yes, that forum is private. Pug discords are private. Team chat channels are private too. Anything that is officially run by RGL is public I’d say.

@cyclowns RGL scrims are moderated because, I imagine, they are official RGL scrims taking place between RGL teams. A notable yet fair exemption to that rule.

@Xenagos said in Highlander Match Point System:

If you look at last season, every swiftwater match in invite/advanced was a 3-0, there was one 2-1 on upward, and five on vigil. If we want to talk about things being equivalent, should picking up a round when you lose on vigil be worth less than if you pick up a round on a loss on swift because statistically it’s harder?

You could get excessively granular with this, but after a certain point you’re going to get diminishing returns, where do we draw the line?

okay this is just a bad argument no matter how you look at it. Asking for consistency in match points between koth and payload is not equivalent to trying to construct some arbitrary match point equivalency system between different maps. Or even worse, trying to give match points per point capped on a payload. All it does is delegitimize any other arguments you make because trying to present that one argument just makes everything else seem so much worse.

I think when you have undeniable evidence that the system is inconsistent with itself (payload’s match points equaling the number of rounds you have won vs koth getting extra points solely for winning), something should be rectified so it makes more sense. What that solution is can be up for debate, as even I think that 210 match points being up for grabs is a bit much, but we can see.

Truthfully I don’t see why we can’t have another poll like last time. Just put out an article with the poll explaining what exactly delaying the match by a week would mean for the rest of the season and year. A pros and cons list even. Then just let the players decide what they want by majority.

also just wanna say I love the new transparency and response by the new admin team, off to a great start!

bump i am available this saturday

had the pleasure of playing with him as my scout for the first half of the season

reliable and skilled player

most toxic ive ever seen him be was calling some dude a furry in our comms as we were 10 seconds away from winning a match, so id say thats a negligible “problem”

some may say this is too early to say but i honestly get the feeling like nothing will change so better to start too early than to get cucked out of being the guy to make this post.

All of the points about main getting filled with teams too strong for it are wholly and completely irrelevant in a discussion about whether or not the division below invite should be 8 team RR or not. that belongs in a discussion about whether you need to add a division or not, and is just completely besides the point here. the div below invite should be getting people ready for invite, and its just not happening here with teams just being forced into the same shitty format that shouldnt be a thing in this division size and skill level.

tell you what, this is how passionate i am about this. @WiLLmaTiC I am officially challenging you to a boxing match/fight or whatever (ive never been in a fight so fuck if i know how it works), best of 3, winner gets to decide what format and # of teams there are in the division below invite. I know we both live in the LA area cause ya went to LAN (and I almost did) so you don’t even have to go that far. Tell you what, I’ll make the deal sweeter.

pls bro i NEED some pussy bro

unironically delay it back a week tho

surprisingly good engineer given his track record, get this man on a good team!

idk why the div below invite, the div thats supposed to get players ready for invite, isnt using the same format that invite is

makes no sense lol!
