I think it's been suggested that tour of duty tickets are (on average) more valuable than the drops you get from using them, so I wouldn't worry about them too much.
Getting on to pubstomp right about now, Imma be playing Control Points, unless anyone wants to do anything else?

I'll be wearing a Gibus and Pyrovision Goggles, and maybe a badge.

Thought: We should call ourselves the Golden Gibus gang, and KoSS can be the gang leader.
What's your Steam name?

EDIT: The price of a Tour of Duty ticket in metal varies between 3.88 and 4 refined metal. If you scrap your spare weapons and sell superfluous hats, you can afford a ticket every once in a while.

'Superfluous' meaning hats that you don't wear and would like to share with others so that they might wear said hats.

It turns out that tauntkills still work if you are on a team that just lost.

Well... Yeah. That has always been a thing. I even got an achievement for doing that actually. Of course it was just a general 'kill enemy with taunt' achievement, but still. It's certainly a thing that can and has happened.

That's the real reason it's called Humiliation.

So I'll probably be available for playing TF2 on Friday if anyone wants to. MvM, standard multiplayer pubbing, whatevs.

My Steam is Spehss Cat. So, uh, add me if you want. If it works. Should work. I'm unfamiliar with adding friends. ._.

I don't have tickets, or money to buy them, sadly.
Don't worry, we can all pitch in, you're the best pyro around.*


*In the immediate vicinity.

I've got a lot of money after working double shifts as a lifeguard for most of the summer. I'll loan you a few periodically, even if nobody else pitches in.
* miauw62 coughs
I consider myself a pretty good pyro. But in MvM I usually play engie. Joshua and the dudes he plays MvM with taught me.

But yeah, I wouldn't count on australium weapons too much if I were you. Everybody gets a botkiller, and the rust/silver/carbonium ones are worth 5 ref.

On the hat topic, I recently got El Muchacho, so now I just need the Last Breath to complete my Mexican pyro outfit. Not sure if I should buy it now or use the 18 ref I have to get more ref and buy even more swag. (strange reserve shooter, killstreak kits, strange parts, etc)

I'm usually a scout in MvM, too. Mark 'em, milk 'em, grab the money, and stay out of the way.

* tahujdt  turns into a weird hybrid of C-3P0 and Lt. Data
Drop chance of an australium weapon is around 3 or 4%, according to some figures. If everyone uses a squad surplus voucher, that's 7 random drops per player, per game, meaning 42 random drops total. This will not affect the australium drop chance (I think) because australium weapons are end-of-tour random rewards. However, that many random drops will definitely have some good stuff in it. 6 SSVs costs 12USD or around 24 ref. The sale of 42 random drops, some of them rare cosmetics, would probably be worth more than the cost of the vouchers. Should we go that route, more investigation would be in order.
A ticket plus a voucher is 3USD per player per game, so 18USD total per game, or 12USD per tour per player, 72USD per group tour. With just tickets, it's 1USD per player per game, 6USD per group game, 4USD per individual tour, and 24USD per group tour. Australium weapon prices are in the dozens of keys range.

Should we consider the drop-sharing plan I suggested, please also consider that it's the sort of system that everyone likes until they get the drop. So, if we were to pursue that, we would have to be more selective about who we include. And if we find a frying pan, *well*...
[END ANALYSIS]
If I wouldn't think less of myself afterwards, if I only cared about the money,  I'd ditch any online community in a heartbeat for something worth thousands of dollars. Even you guys, sorry. College is coming up pretty quickly for me.

I'd love an australium ft, although my current ft is getting close to Epic status.

I can't do anything this weekend, I've got a Boy Scout campout. Maybe next weekend? It's end of the quarter for me, so I probably won't have much homework.

Guys, if any of you are into the crates, I have 7 of the Summer crates (#86) and 2 others (84, 85) that I'm not doing anything with. I don't really plan on spending money on TF2. Keys and MvM tickets are just not in the budget. If you want them, let me know, and you can just have them.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting
