Always fun to counter a strong team.

This.

Egypt is my favorite because of its regulars... A lot of the regulars (whether in eGO or not) are some of the most skilled players I've seen. Outside of Foundry, of course... Those people are freaks.

But anyway, with so many players approaching their skill cap, steamrolls tend to happen pretty often. I try to never back out because of a steamroll. I learn so much from the players there... And to be honest, sometimes I learn quicker when people more skilled than me - Tony St[A!][R!]K, Sanctified Aberration or SO many other fantastic players - are exploiting the flaws in my playstyle and shoving them down my throat.

I think the RED spawn times are the biggest thing. 20-second spawntimes are pretty bad already, but when a team is steamrolling and you are only alive for ten seconds at a time... PUBs tend to get frustrated very quickly.

I can honestly say from last night's experience on egypt if you "TRY HARD" on the server it empties very quickly. I joined the server when there was about 22 players and was just messing around as engy trying to figure out this new "Bread Thingy". Well the server stayed full for a long time. Once I switched to medic and started to using a Krits on a heavy I called Link the blue time rolled the red team about 6 times in a row and the server emptied to about 10. So I apologize for being a little over zealous but I guess the object of TF2 is to "TRY HARD" NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've mostly noticed that "try-harding" creates a huge problem when filling Egypt. Spawn-camping and "try-harding" in general with, y'know, 5v5, really empties out the server more than it already was.

Thing with the Red spawntime is it's kinda necessary.. If it were shorter, Blu would just be bombarded, especially when Red is a strong team. I think that when the server is full and the teams are even, the spawntime is very justifiable, even when I'm on Red. However, I haven't really experienced that much lately in Egypt.

Just a reminder to all you sand-dwellers out there: this week's contest ends tonight at 12 midnight, Pacific Time. With the influx of new taunts, there should be no end to the amount of wacky screenshots you can produce. Get to it!
 
Oh that's so not fair to let the new taunts in. Because you have to buy them! This should be an old taunts photos only.

My pictar didn't even need a taunt to be wonderful and beautiful thanks to miss apollo.
 
And we have our first week's winners!

Heavy could use the parachute too.

All right! Let's see how dedicated you can be to Egypt in a single session. This week's contest is to see who can acquire the most points while playing on Egypt. Screenshot your scoreboard to prove how [strike]much time you've wasted[/strike] many points you get in a play session.

You've already been bested. Look at sanc's score.

I was honestly tempted to post a screenshot of my scoreboard when I had only nine or so points. Since no one else had entered, I would be winning with only nine points. [emoji38]
