So, yeah. Recent changes have occurred. Keeping the old text here as a reference (and because later posts would make no sense at all) but basically me and the boys got the boot from smil3y. Good news is I got 5 real dedicated people that just want to play TF2 and we're still set to go in TWL and UGC. Need a scout, over 18, with 6v6 experience. If you add me, shoot me a PM here so I know who the hell you are.

Team name yet to be determined as well.

Picture this: You're a low player, maybe just getting your feet wet in TF2 comp. You've been around the block in other games and you're no spring chicken. You may even be old enough to fret more over your 401k than where to scrounge the money for your next kegger. Hell, you might have even been distracted enough from your 'pr0' gaming career to spawn a few real-life future gamers. Due to your maturity (yeah, right), you're trolling the CommFT forums wishing there was a team that was more your style - more fun, less teen angst. More Project Management than Math homework.

Guess what? You need to Google Us Motherf*cker.

We're the TF2 team for the Smil3y clan, a gaming org that has been around for, well, a long time. Average age is old enough to know that Diamond Dave was the REAL front man for Van Halen. Our goal is to have fun, not take ourselves too seriously (the name is actually an inside joke) but get together and play some TF2. Mostly because it's a fun game, but also because we think it's even more fun when you play and compete as a team.

We are in need of a pocket soldier. Once we have this piece of the puzzle, we plan to play together for a long time by starting out with realistic expectations (UGC and TWL Div4) and learning and growing as a team. We try to scrim starting around 8pm central 4-5 nights a week. We obviously prefer older players (21+) but we're willing to make exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Interested? Don't really Google us - no one knows who the hell we are. Shoot a PM my way, or add any of us via steam.

Oh, and since we're really old and have jobs and shit we buy our own servers and forums and whatnot.

Um... I am old enough to remember Diamond Dave... He was never the real front man for Van Halen... Hagar was! LOL! That's like saying John Rutsey was the real drummer for Rush.

Sorry couldn't resist! Good luck with with your team and if your looking for a scrim hit me up on steam http://steamcommunity.com/id/nQa_cygnus

Thanks Cygnus - I'll add ya tonight and we can discuss vintage arena rock in a more intimate setting.

And, if you're reading this and, like the two of us, you know that Neil Peart wasn't the original drummer for Rush, then shoot me an add or PM.

Great team to start out as. They pick up things pretty quickly and Saint learned how to bitch at his team mates as a medic (joke)

I thought that was all medics did... Uh-oh... Shouldn't have told me they have an actual job to do other than bitch at their team... My med is going to get it now!

Medics scream at soldiers..

Demos get owned by scouts then bitch at the teams scouts for not helping him.

Typical stuff..

Good team, we scrim them at the retirement home between games of checkers and bingo. Worth a look for people who remember ELO and Styx.

Since this is a recruitment thread I will clarify that I only provide constructive "playstyle feedback" in a non-confrontational, reassuring, positive and affirming manner in low, calm tones over Mumble. :angel:

Thanks tragic and Hawkeye for the bumps and compliments!

I am very interesting in playing Pocket Soldier (I am a low player, average KDR on Lobby with Solly is 1.2), but I think I can learn with time :P

And I don't sound like a little ear rape 14 year old over mic. And yes, I am mature.
