      i’m not the most experienced player ever, but i think i do okay. 2 seasons of soldier, won advanced 9-0. also many seasons of spy experience.

      better players always helped me improve, so i’d like to help you improve if you think i can. add me on steam.

      edit: no longer accepting players, do not add me.

    • Ban the Flying Guillotine

      Perhaps I’m in the minority but I don’t think cleaver is by any means “oppressively degenerate” so much as “annoying at best.” Certainly unlucky when I peek an angle and get hit by a cleaver, but it doesn’t define Scout gameplay; it basically just gives him something to do during downtime.

      It also has a somewhat interesting interaction with the Scattergun in which since it can’t fill the same role as the pistol for spam clean up, it means your Scattergun shots have to be more accurate to clean up.

      Degeneracy by itself is not a good measure for banning because it doesn’t say anything about how good the degeneracy is. Sniper’s piss rifle is degenerate but not oppressive.

      Cleaver is maybe degenerate but doesn’t degrade the skill of Scout by itself. Scattergun is still the defining weapon for Scout and it still requires a lot of skill. Cleaver is also (imo) not oppressive.

      Scorch shot is degenerate, oppressive (forces enemy Sniper to use darwin’s), and degrades Pyro’s skill (shotgun and other flare weapons definitely require more skill).

      Just my thoughts.

    • Addressing Racism/Anti-LGBTQ Speech on Off-Platform Media

      @Ampy said in Addressing Racism/Anti-LGBTQ Speech on Off-Platform Media:

      Firstly, allowing players who are actively known by players in the community to use hate speech is incredibly damaging to the image of RGL. RGL understands this and institutes their current rules (as given above). However, their stance on not “policing” the private discords or other media options players use still indirectly harms RGL’s image.

      honestly im gonna sound dumb as shit here (4 hours of sleep lowe me) but how does a player’s actions damage the image of the league? im not arguing with u i just want to educate myself here.

      Acknowledging that someone is bigoted but being unwilling to take a stance since it didn’t occur in RGL-regulated services is a form of complicity.

      Really smart with heal priorities, communicating with others, and positioning to maximize pressure yet minimize threats. Also somehow arrows me every time when I feed.

      Set up weekly reviews with him and you will definitely improve.

      if you dont think that having overarching rules from a third party in every single un-official rgl discord wouldnt be akin to treating their players like babies then idk what to say fam.

      Is holding ppl accountable really treating them “like babies”? How is this any different from your workplace or school or social relationships taking a stance on the things that you say?

      @shia-wno said in Addressing Racism/Anti-LGBTQ Speech on Off-Platform Media:

      pretty sure rgl extending their rules into private discord servers would result in an extremely toxic environment for everyone.

      I am interested in hearing how this creates a more toxic environment if you don’t mind explaining.

      @shia-wno said in Addressing Racism/Anti-LGBTQ Speech on Off-Platform Media:

      it would also would be really unreasonable to enforce. are you going to expect every rgl player to be on guard duty for all of their peers and to turn them in if they say a funny word? yeah idk

      I don’t think the point is to get RGL to delete racism forever. Racist people will always exist. Anti-LGBT people will always exist. The point is if you can determine for sure that someone is being bigoted outside of official RGL-regulated services, why would you keep that person in the community? This is a pretty normal expectation in FGC communities and other game communities.

    • [Forked] Scorch Shot Ban Discussion

      @Frost said in [Forked] Scorch Shot Ban Discussion:

      I am mostly C/C++, I had a potential idea on how to tackle parsing through log data since my current project uses json data to build scenes/levels for my game.

      Funny enough I was actually thinking about how to architect this program in the shower this morning. I think current my plan currently involves on using curl to fetch the data from logs.tf rapidjson to read the data logs.tf api. I have no experience with curl so it should be my first time working with that, but I have a basic idea how rapidjson works. I should be versatile enough to pick up other programming languages. Python was something I was really interested in actually practicing. Most of the extent of python I done was reading/parsing through code and debugging HW assignments for other students.

      I’d really love to talk more about this project and my general architecture I am starting to build for it. If you’d want to work in python i’d be happy to swap and give it a shot. Should i reach out on Discord or Steam?

      If I happen to get started on this project, and end up doing it in C++. I will most likely open source it on github.

      Python is usually used for this kind of data processing, but if you want to save yourself some time and you’re familiar with this kind of architecture, you might be interested in multithreading the data gathering and processing. OpenMP and the C++ standard library are both fine for this task, but I would probably learn Python before diving into that unless you’re just excited about C++ and want more multithreading experience.

      If you’re curious feel free to dm me on discord.
