Well I just had an interesting thing happen...

I was on a Server where this fella came on with something akin to a MovieVoice, you know those Movie Preview voices. Well he ducked off for a while and while he was gone this Rager of a Player came on, made an arse of himself before the admin was called and promptly banned him...

A few minutes later Moviemanvoice came back on. He was promptly muted having said nothing offensive as far as I could tell and then while trying to understand what he did wrong in chat, was banned. As far as I could tell someone had stated that he was the same fella as the rager...

I questioned the admin cause I was actually chatting with MMV guy and when I stated that it was pure Admin Abuse to have kicked him with no true reason, I find myself looking at the Banned window...

Always love Admin Abusers. Shame though it was one of those Maps where Teufort had different themes and builds. Kinda rare in Aus Server list...

If you can remember which group the server was in (gamersUN etc.) I may be able to look into it, I know alot of the upper level admins for alot of the main aussie groups?  Though if its just a one off server, you have probably just run into a dick admin.

From what I can tell one of the unspoken horrors of the Aussie tf2 community is 90% of the servers actually come from the exact same provider.

  That said, the gamersUN 20 slot payload server when it gets going attracts a crowd of regulars who include alot of div 1/2/3 players, can be alot of fun if you are a vet looking for a challenge.

You shouldn't worry too much about dick servers on TF2, unlike other MP games you can harmlessly migrate to another server and forget about those morons.

Been getting some crazy hat drops. Bloke's Bucket Hat,  Killer's Kabuto, Conjurer's Cowl, Tippler's Tricorne (Which I've been told is rare), Sober Stuntman, The One Man Army, and the Big Steel Jaw of Summer Fun. All over my 800 hours. I've also crafted The Villain's Veil, The Fruit Shoot, and The Madame Dixie.
I remember getting two Prussian pickelhaube and I crafted them together or something. I say it's best just not to trade hats.

If you get lucky with hat drops :(
But meh, pyro is my fav class and an australium gold mann co cap looks good on everything else except spy.
spy = fancy fedora
pyro = flamboyant flamenco.

Are we arguing which is the best hat here?

No argument. The Top Notch is the best one out there, even if it is exclusive to Notch.

Mh, in my community i usually recognize people in the other team as members of the community (and usually good players, so thats either high-priority targets if an ambush is possible, or just stay the fuck away targets) by their hats.

EDIT:
Btw, did anybody hear about the new quickplay system?
Its dissapointing. I was hoping something like "banned P2W servers from quickplay", but its just a lobby system :/

   Just picked the game back up after a while of not playing it tonight. Anything else I miss besides the pyro update? Also I agree that The Top Notch = best hat.

I'm not sure how I feel about appearing in someone's frag video doing something totally stupid. :I

It depends on how long "a while" is. The Pyro update was the most recent major addition.

This is kind of true. Once you get to know some regulars on a server hats are shorthand for everything from "this guy is going to reflect all my rockets" to "this sniper never turns around".

The "this sniper never turns around" guys usually dont have recognizeable hats, or they just dont stay on the server/talk.
I'm a VERY talky person in tf2.

On a side note: still about 3 hours before my native vanilla server is going to kick itself off. usually happens around 3 PM GMT.

I don't really have a native server yet, although I hang around quite a bit on a german Doomsday server. Peeps are pretty silent there though so I don't feel at home yet.

I don't have hats either for most classes. :/

Whatever you do, dont wear the gibus. It really looks ugly because its so overused and common. No hat is better then having a gibus.
Well, if you want i could do some shameless advertising and show you my native community...
(1 vanilla rotation server, 1 2fort instarespawn 32 player 10 caps server, and one turbine server thats the same as the 2fort server except for the map) (and a Gmod black mesa RP server)

Basically my medic guidelines. Try to stay away from the (unpainted) gibuses (and alien parasites) while preferring people with other hats.

Reverse that for übersaw targets.
