Also, I'm probably in for tonight. There's a small possibility that I'll be getting dinner with my supervisors, but there haven't been definite plans yet.
Some good times on a full server last night, only a handful of Icrontians though.
Beartato threw out a server gift at one point. Mad thanks to him. Lucky Preach got a new hat and I got a description tag.
I had to bail. Ended up going to dinner with my boss and a ton of others from the Austin office. I met the majority of them yesterday, so I wanted to take the opportunity to get to know them better.
By the time I joined on Wednesday around 10:45 or so, it was a full server but nobody was really talking. No jokes, no stories, no lulz. Not really a bad thing to have nothing but a lot of shooting and carnage, but it felt out of character for an Icrontic TF2 night. =P

Thats because on a typical Wednesday night, less than half the players are IC these days.
Last week made me want to cry, there were 6 people on the server at 9pm EST :-( 2 of them (inc me) were IC. It died before 10pm EST. Let's hope that was just a random week where everyone had something to do.
This week lets rock, Start planning and spreading the word now, LOEI Wednesday!!!
Played tonight and had some southern bumpkin and a English chap being asshats...
They were trolls Doc (Formerly Beartato) and I figured out they were on each others friends list. Along with the jacked up Mic guy. Doc called them on it and all of a sudden they stopped, The one guys mic magically cleared up and then two of them left. The last guy (the "UK" guy with <50 ping) then said goodbye without any accent.
It was entertaining while they didn't know that we knew.
Beyond that... Where was everyone? QCH was there and FatCat showed up for the first time since before Halloween...2009. Has the league disbanded?
I'll be perfectly honest, Bobby; since TF2 became Trade Fortress 2, it's lost some appeal to me; I swear, people play differently now because of the hats and crap. I get Steam spam about PLEASE TRADE YOUR SOLDIER MEDAL TO ME and crap like that.
You run into players who care more about hats than playing or having fun. Some of the soul is gone.

Let our IC love open the door to your TF2 heart!

Hopefully see more of you next week!
I'm in for sure next time.
I'll get back into the habit of posting to Twitter as a reminder.
