I'm willing to trade my demoman fro for any vintage soldier, pyro, or heavy hat. EDIT: Got a Vintage Camera Beard for it.

Got all the vintage items I want (as in ever use) and the three vintage hats I've always wanted (from, pot, torque).
All in all I'm un-phased.

I also farmed duel wins with a friend and got a hat.

Orange- N cannot be spoken, or even thought about in my household. If my parents ever found out that I have played N since the cleansing, my life would be ruined. I keep the game in a multi-passworded .rar on a USB flash drive inside a locked boron alloy container that requires two keys to open (I keep one under the 64th hammer in my piano, and the other one in a small section of removable ceiling in the corner of the attic) hidden in a wall compartment lined with aluminium foil to prevent sonar detection behind my 375 kg cupboard, which is bolted to the floor - the only way to reach it is to abseil outside the fourth floor window and use a screwdriver to unfasten the screws holding the secret brick in place on the opposite side of the wall, but the screwdriver must be a specific type like the one I own, since if any other screwdriver comes into contact with the screws, the entire building will explode, as will a seperate charge placed inside the boron alloy container, rendering the USB useless. Even once the container is retrieved, attemping to open it without the arming pin in place (which is kept inside the battery compartment of my Maglite) will cause the water reservoirs lining the container to burst and react with the caesium lining, causing the container to burst into flames - the only way to prevent this is to use the arming pins to shut off the reservoirs with a sliding steel door. The USB itself contains an accelerometer linked to an explosive charge, meaning that if the USB detects its own movement speed as being greater than 5 cm/s, it will explode - any person attempting to steal it would have to move at a uselessly slow speed. Once plugged into a computer, the USB will upload a ghost virus onto it, leaving no traces. Only the right password can deactivate this virus, and if it is left on the computer for more than six hours, it will format all drives.
As you can see, I take my N playing very seriously.
Guiseppi- I'd much rather watch animals get boned in the ass.
Yanni- If it's glad, it's not rape.
Tsukatu- I refuse to use throw-away bags for such a frequent purpose as buying groceries. Instead, I've collected the hair of my two pet dogs and have woven them together into an all-natural, 100% environmentally friendly bag that I bring with me everywhere. And when I buy products that come in glass and plastic containers, I track down the company that packages them and ship back their containers so that they don't take up space in landfills.
Yeah, I use plastic.
Tsukatu- I hear Ebony Online is great, too. Cum save your princess, my lord!

Haha, nice. Some people seriously think the crates are worth amazing shit (although they do sometimes give some cool particle effects on items) but they're mostly crap. Congrats, though. Good trade.a happy song wrote:Some people...

Polycount hats, according to Robin, will soon be craftable with recipes (like The Milkman, Fez, etc.) so don't make any outrageous trades on them.

Thanks, and exactly! I had two crates drop for me last night in the space of a few hours. As they're new, people seem to be willing to make silly trades for them.

Right?
So then considering I didn't want it, I went and put it on tf2items.com to see if I could trade it for something else good.
This is what happened.
I ended up trading it for a Vintage Hound Dog, another Worms hat and a supply crate.
I dont know what happened after that, but now my backpack looks like this
And this is before the update came out
Paint is amazing, I have a blond heavy.

As a fan coming from Team Fortress Classic, seeing what this game has become has made me feel very alienated.
Anyone know if it's possible to create "no items" servers? Otherwise, I'm really not so sure it's likely I'll ever pick this game up again.

All you need to do is play and ignore the items. The actual game isn't effected in any way.
The most you could say is that there's an element of pay2win with the new item set bonuses, but then the fact that you need to take a set of sub-par items with you to activate the bonus more than balances that.
The cosmetic stuff is fun, imo, it adds an aspect of the game that you can either invest in or ignore and won't affect your enjoyment of the game proper if it's not your bag.
On a side note, here's my customized demoman. Will rename the rest when I find the tags. Vintage Fro, died White.

I agree with Tsukatu, and yes, there are vanilla no item servers out there.
