So I just typed out this whole long rant and then the page refreshed itself – Lost everything #FML
Anyways, I just want to know what has happened in the TF2 community so that the pickup scene has died. I thought that when I had to make a departure about 8 months ago that when I returned, after the game had gone free, that the pickups would be booming but to my surprise there are almost none. I checked about 20 minutes ago and the last pickup was played on Saturday.
So, I know that a lot of people are getting completely over me spamming you the whole time to: add, or, x-y/12. I just want to try and get the community back together. I know that I come across as a annoying noob that sucks, True, not the best TF2 player in the world but I try to be apart of the community :( I think that's better than being da.best. Anyways, I do spam people on my buddy list and you can remove me if you want, I take no offense. However I am just trying to get the competitive side of SA TF2 up and running again.
I am also offering TF2 training, I know, Not the best at the game or whatever, "who am I to offer training?" – As one of the pub guys said, "You don't have to be the best person in the world to offer training to those that want to improve at the game".
Also, Just made a TF2 Jump video. Just need to finish editing and then upload. I think it will show you that you should take that silly ban of the Gunboats off. Would make TF2 a little more interesting.
Thanks for your time.
Regards Alphabet

I don't remember getting messages from Alphabet (discrimination? :P) but anyways we need to broadcast the message more efficiently.
Any more ideas?
I believe some people dont play pickups atm because they think are not good enough or are not keen to jam with new okes etc… Also this rush of new games has been pumping Skyrim, MW3, BF3 (I'm guilty on this one), etc… but if we get a bunch of okes that keep it going every night then we can grow that base of active pickups players.

Yep MW3 BF3 and Skyrim are probably 3 of the biggest games to be released this year and they all came out very recently. Hopefully people will get bored and come back to good ol' tf2.
