Hey guys, two weeks ago, I made a whole bunch of posts about medic classes that I am starting up here pretty soon, and I wanted you all to know that those are getting started up really soon. So now is the time to add me, or tell your new medic to do so. You can contact me at shdwpuppet@teamwarfare.com or add me on steam at http://www.steamcommunity.com/id/shdwpuppet

Now for a little bit about this class.
I will be taking a number of new/low medics (class size will be limited, but I havent decided how many yet) and teaching them the basics of the medic class. This is not an advanced topics class, we will go over everything from basic heal orders to how to manage your team. This class will assume the following things.

1.) You are a new/low medic. This is important to note, low/mid medics will definitely be bored at first in this class. I will be going over the very basics.

2.) You know what competitive TF2 is, though I may go over this super quick, I will assume you know what the format is, what the basic maps are and know how to do things that a pub medic would know. This includes knowing how to uber and all that. I dont want to treat anyone like they are stupid, but I may be tempted at times :P

3.) You will be the main caller on a team. I am a strong proponent of medics being team leaders, at least in game. So I will go over how to call, how to lead and stuff like that.

Preference will be given to two groups of people, medics that I am already mentoring (only one or two will fit into this category) and medics that have a team.

This class will teach the following and possibly many more


Basic Heal orders
Basic heal rollouts
Basic Map strategies from the medic point of view (think where to stand, where to go etc)
Configs
How to self improve as a medic
How to lead your pocket (and how he should lead you)
How to lead your team
Uber management
Uber timing.


We will achieve these goals by joining a server and playing on the physical map, as well as general question and answer, a little bit of me rambling on and watching demos of good players as well as some of your demos.

WHAT I NEED
I dont have a ton of resources since I am currently teamless, so I am in need of someone who can provide me with a server (a match server that isnt in use would be more than sufficient) and a private mumble

Thanks everyone, please contact me if you are interested in a spot. More information is coming soon, including possible dates and times (weekends are most likely given my schedule)

there were several posts on the classes thread in the mentor section offering servers with relays and mumble servers. I'm pretty sure you already saw them, just a friendly reminder :3

yep, I have a server and a relay and im sorry about the delay for anyone actually looking forward to this, personal stuff mixed with the season starting for TWL sucked up all my time.

I'm not low but I'd attend this just to see :)

I would like to attend. I have a mumble and server you can use as well. Just wondering but what teams have you played medic on?

I was experimenting... now I know medics cannot get out of that space.

And thanks for your cynicism... not sure I remember if you offered to help people out or not...

I do believe my exact words after that second clip were "FUCKING SPIES"

why did my youtube link get deleted :(

Yea, tragic is a great mentor and I think that, for now, you should stick with him.

This episode of skill police is brought to you by the great shdw.puppet

Tuku, don't listen to anybody unless they are an established player, all I was trying to say is that shdw.puppet isn't in the place to tell people who isn't mid, and I don't even see why we should worry about somebody's skill level in a mentee thread, you don't have to be good or bad to ask for help, or to improve.

Good luck.

Serious. The guy's offering basically a mentoring class. Regardless of whether he's up to your standards, he has enough experience to help out some new Medics. Get over your fascination of trolling shdw.puppet and leave that shit for GotFrag.

Good luck with the Medic class.

Keep it clean kids, someone is simply trying to help the community, if you don't think this has merit for you to attend then don't and move on.

I love what you're doing. You can use my mumble and server for it, just send me a pm/talk over steam. I'm actually interested in doing a little higher leveled video series, so if you're interested in doing that with me too, then let's hit it.

Ok guys, after all these delays (TWL starting, school raping and real life/relationships getting in the way) I am not ready to kick this off.

My available times are weekends mostly, but thursday afternoons until around 9:30 pm works as well. I was looking at starting this weekend, Possibly a Friday (tomorrow) evening sort of thing. To those who have not added me on steam, please do so (steamcommunity.com/id/shdwpuppet) and talk to me ASAP. Or you can contact me by PM on the gamesurge irc network in either #twl_tf2 or #teamwarfare (I idle both).

This class will be approximately an hour long, but I will stay after for questions, comments etc and to work with individual medics if they want.

I am really excited and plans are for the future to make up a video series, maybe 5-10 minutes per video showing off a medic technique or skill. More to come on a lot of this stuff so stay tuned.

Since I'm still deciding on what class I really want to play, could I sign up for this? 14 years old but with a tolerable voice.

If you have space, I might be able to join in on this. It's more out of curiosity to see how it would work than an actual burning passion to learn how to play med though, so if you're anywhere close to an ideal class size, I won't bother.

ok, here is how it goes. My computer is on, my email is up and I will be idling IRC most of the day. The first 6-8 people that contact me will get in. I will probably not respond to steam messages, but everything will have a time stamp. Class will be this evening, probably around 7 or 8pm EST.

People who have a solid spot are going to be my actual mentees: Joel, Toes and Shiiben (not actually my mentee, but talked to me earlier).

Thanks guys, im looking forward to working with you all.
