unless you co-lead while explaining to the captain the why’s what and how’s of it

Pretty much what I was saying but okay, this.

Also we should make sure Dummy is locked in a cage somewhere.

On another, more serious note, I would be happy to do this sort of service (inb4 “you bad/stupid”), if someone wants to set up a steam group where people can add mentors I will, mix and give tips with anyone who wants them.

So I made a mistake adding dummy when he asked me to in the newbie thread? -.-

I would love to make an “academy” team of 7-8 players (with me playing different classes whenever they need) from the recruitment page and train them up for next season but I dont want to have to leave my own roster to do it. I think a buddy system for the 6v6 ladder or something might be useful for this.

Just create a second account if its allowed in etf2l.

You can create a new team without leaving your current one.

Yep what Acid said, a newbie forum – Plus a main post on the main etf2l page perhaps including alot of info/links from the “New to tf2/comp scene” thread thats stickied.

Then post this on SPUF (even tho it’ll get flamed by the trolls on there its still good info) also if we could get valve to announce in their next post somthing like “The guys over at ETF2L have made a cool informational post for all you new guys if you’re looking to get into playing some organised games” Then they’d come over read it all up, check it and start to then play lobbys, pickups ask for mentors, etc etc. Perhaps in the newbie forum there could be a place to ask for help in their game/mentors also. And it cuts out people being a cunt like in that thread yesterday ” LOL PLAYING TF2 ON A MAC? FAGLOLOL”

Sorted!

If the admins are to busy to post this up, give me a shout and i can help construct somthing.

Martn is correct, you should be able to create and manage a team without being on the roster.

@tapley, competitive content isnt allowed on the SPUF front page usually. So it sounds easier then it is.

Perhaps call it somthing different, ETF2L’s guide for new players to TF2? :). either way aslong as it gets put on teamfortress.com thats probably the main place.

To make this place a big more “newb friendly” will help things out alot.

I would like to see an info page in typical TF2 fashion: http://etf2l.org/highlander/
I can’t see any reason why it wouldn’t suit, and I think it would be a great way of promoting comp and spreading and teaching the basics, without being boring rather than attractive.

Have a look through the info that Monkeh gathered in his thread: http://etf2l.org/forum/league/topic-12510/?recent=274229
I think that would work well in the format I suggested, with links, embedded Youtube clip and stuff like that.

I can make recruitment posts, organise games, enter cups with the team without being on their roster? That’s the main issue i see. The things that are made easier by being part of a roster are made quite difficult when you aren’t, imo.

Yes you can! (And now you’re obliged to do it too!)
