If I added your steam name and your forum name, tell me so I can fix that.
I won't be able to play until early January.
not available saturday or sunday, but available until January (and probably past that, don't think homework will be too heavy).
I'm available whenever, for the time being.
I'll also be accepting PM's for entrances. If you know a friend who is good at the game, convince them to join, we need the help.
I'm available most of the time.
I'd rather not be on our scrim list. I've already complained too much. -_-''

You do whine quite a lot.
also, silverhawk79@gmail.com
duh
When is our first practice?
Your first game is tomorrow. Work out who will be playing.
Thanks for all the help Totla. I've just been busy the past week or so. I'm free of school now though.

I assume we're the 8.
When's the scrim? And who's playing what?
I'd like to know when the scrim is.
not available. sorry.
Tonight, probably around 7 or 8 EST
I thought I told Silver that I was in with the Scrim team. If I am, why isn't my name on that list?

Okay, I always seem to miss the practices and games. Whoever is in charge, can I give you my cell number so you can call/text me whenever we have a practice or a game? Or maybe add me on MSN or AIM?

In the other thread, Red Alert said that sentries aren't that common, so we don't need a Spy.
I claim a Heavy slot with a flex of Scout.
you can't flex combat with non-combat, because it gets too difficult for the medic. Also, we can't have this many heavies. 1 heavy is plenty.
In competitive play, spies suck at taking out sentries. They are there to get surprise kills on the medic, and that's it. They are highly situational and hardly ever used.
I would love to join but I wouldn't be able to schedule things around TF2. I would offer to play medic if I could make everything.
Soldier with flex of Demo.
I claim Pyro with a flex of Heavy or Sniper.

also there are two other people who want heavy, so you'll probably be sniper with flex of heavy

Spies suck at killing sentries anyways. that's what demomen are for. :\
When you go spy, you go spy for one life and one life only. there's no point after that.

we can't have any demo flexes. Rules in 6v6 state that only one demo is allowed, so it's much simpler if we have a permanent demo, as it's a huge hassle to change that (like medic).
Also, no pyros, ever. When they have a medic, they put the medic in danger, and when they don't, they can't kill any other class. With an uber the only class they can catch is a heavy, which is not worth wasting an uber on.

Darklink calls Soldier. Flex of Demo if Totla isn't there. I vouch for Totla as our Demo.
I've been getting better with Spy. Also when you guys have scrims, you need to pm me on steam. I never know whats going on ;_;.

Okay, so lets set up what we have so far on classes.

Heavy:

Silver
Brett
(We'll work this out later)
Medic:

Sniper:

I can flex Scout. Yesterday I got 11 kills in one life as Scout while defending the middle point of Granary on the NSF Server.
okay then, it sounds like a good lineup for you guys would be:
2 scouts (hishipi flex sniper)
1 soldier
1 heavy
1 demo
1 medic
That's assuming all the right people show up.
2 heavies are too hard for a medic to keep healed and just become sniper fodder. You shouldn't have more than 1 heavy 6v6.
i can go heavy or soldier. I'm an okay demoman, and i'd rather heavy or soldier than medic.
I used to be able to scout, but I haven't been nearly as good lately. when I get that back, I'll think of going back.

Actually, too many scouts can lead to not enough offensive push and defensive strength. So I would actually say replacing one of those scouts with something else would be nice.
that's not true at all; scouts can only be offensive.
if you swap out a scout then the team will be destroyed by good scout duos. Up to you.

scouts work very well defensively.
good scout duos? If we end up playing good scout duos, we'll be destroyed anyways, as we don't have a good scout duo ourselves.
um, I don't think you quite understand what 'defensive' means. Scouts are a glass cannon; if they aren't being offensive they are dying.
Also, if they have a good scout duo, you can at least give them trouble with 2 scouts. If you have 1 scout and they have 2, your one won't be able to do much at all if the other 2 stick together. Also, swapping the scout for a combat class makes it hard for the medic to keep everyone healed.
I can play Scout with a flex of Sniper, but seeing as how we already have a lot of Scouts, I'm not sure.
Also, my Steam ID is [NSF] El-Ahrairah
ooo ooo I wanna join I can be Soldier sniper or spy ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^
Alright guys, i'm not on the team, nor am I in any leagues at the moment, but standard 6v6 is 2 soldiers, 2 scouts, 1 demo, and 1 medic.
Heavies are too slow for the fast paced nature of 6v6, and scouts tear them (and their medic) apart.
As said in the thread before, spys are situational. Made to take out a(n uber) medic, and run away. not to try and take on soldiers or demos.
Sniper isn't used in clan matches, except very rarely, when you have a very good offensive sniper. (doesn't hang way in the back. up in the action, taking out medics.)
Engies are never used, a waste of time because a single uber wipes them out.
And pyros are useless against soldiers, which are used quite frequently.
Just thought I'd point out a few things.
By the way, let me know when you guys get into an actual league. (IE, TWL)

no, but there is also no one here who is near that level with any of the classes, so it certainly doesn't hurt to run a heavy. As long as they know when to hide a natasha heavy can really stop the other team's scouts in their tracks.

I'll do it. I have substituted for Silver once, and managed to bring myself to the top of our list. That's not to say we weren't wrecked.

dominate me on one of my good days and you're in.
Didn't know you guys scrimmed.
My clan use to scrim and even joined TWL but we never really did anything with it. We could never get the number of people we needed, and our scheduler was horrible at his job. Pretty much just picked whatever time HE could play, no matter if we couldn't.
Speaking of which. Our clan was thinking of getting back into Scrimming, and maybe rejoining TWL over the summer.
Would you guys mind scrimming us?
We generally do 9v9 highlander, but It doesn't really matter, we can go with whatever you guys do.
what's your clan?
no Fear killaz, aka -|NFK|-
We've basically got two "groups" we have our CEVO players, and our pubbers. <<
I've always wanted to try to scrim, but I don't have much experience yet... (And again, I haven't tried for scrimming with the ESG scrim team either...)
I should, once I have more time, espcially after school's over.
nsf hasn't scrimmed in like 3 months, so gl doing that here
whats a scrim team?
Basically, a team that scrims.
Group of people, clan more or less, who get together regularly to play competitivley with other clans.
