Okay, so out of curiosity, I've tried joining the old Mario Kart server on three different accounts on three different computers, and for some strange
reason, this error message pops up rather than downloading the map as usual on all 9 occasions of trying to join.





For what reason it is doing this I don't know, maybe something to do with my internet connection, but no fixes I've looked up have seemed to do anything, I also kinda doubt that since I have not had any problems downloading other custom maps through TF2 any time recently.

However when the rotation of map switches over to 2fort or some other stock Valve map (which I'm not really sure why it does that), everything works fine as usual.
Help would be appreciated.

--- Update ---

Update: Maybe the lack of people has something to do with the map DLing since even when the map switched to the Space map (which of the time of posting, currently is), I still received the missing map message.



This may also explain how the server is empty a large majority of the time when the actual MK maps are playing, and how it does receive traffic when other map (like 2fort) for some reason come on the rotation.

Also the reasoning I see for why a couple may be able to log on to the server recently is that they may have had the map prior to now (which is the case for the space map at least)

Screenshots and Videos / Quake Fortress 2

The original intro to TF1 from 1996 recreated using SFM and using TF2 characters rather than Quake Models.

And here's the original for comparison.

[TF2] UA MarioKart 24-7 / Banning Weapons?
December 02, 2012, 11:01:26 PM
From what I'm hearing, there are plans to ban the Red-Tape Recorder due to it downgrading things to fast.

I'm personally not in support of this, seeing as Valve may end up nerfing it anyways, like they did with the Tomislav (Originally 75% faster Spin-up, nerfed to 40%, later nerfed to 10%) or enforcer.

As well as the fact that if there's a rather large Engineer nest right outside of the base that nobody is able to take out (Not even multiple Ubers), the red-tape can help at least weaken it so the team will have a chance of getting out.

Plus, the old complaints about the Huntsman, Direct Hit, and Loch N Load have been coming back, more so than that of the red-tape. (I've heard numerous complaints about the 3 stated above, and only 1 complaint about the red-tape during the last few days.) With those having the capability to one-shot 4-5 of the 9 classes both close and far range alike as well as having insanely fast projectile speed.

If the Red-Tape gets banned, I'd think that some of the above weapons be banned as well, I mean, It'd only be fair. Though I'm not personally in favor of banning anything, as it's only Mario Kart, which is meant for fun more than anything else. (And none of these personally annoy me to that level)

Anyways this is just my opinion on the situation, feel free to post yours.

General Discussion / Going away for a Bit.
July 08, 2012, 10:07:53 PM
Hey Guys...

Recently, I've noticed that I barely have time to do much at all, whether it be playing video games or doing other activities, Seeing as I'm having to juggle College, and a Job now...

My Schedule will probably be back to normal sometime in Mid-August due to my Summer Quarter getting finished, thus I'll have more free-time. You'll still see me some between now and then, but not near as much as before.

The Few times that I will play TF2 will mostly be to practice/compete in UGC Highlander Season 7, and as we're already in week 6, I feel it's kinda late to turn back now on that.

Just thought I'd let you all know about what's up, and why you may not see me around for a little while.

Thanks for Reading!!    ~Muffin

General Discussion / Am I missing something?
June 22, 2012, 03:48:27 AM
Ok... Well, I was playing on another server today (I'm not always on Our server), and then a group of people saw that I was part of the UA clan. (Still proud to be). Their Clan tag was [FE], and then they called me a Dick and other unsavory terms apparently just for the fact I was part of UA.

Then they proceeded to switch their Clan tag to [SG] they said "For Old Times" , and continued to insult the clan. I think some of the guy's names were like "Darkness", and "To$t3y" among others. Then they got REALLY Pissed when I was dominating 2 or 3 of them, saying like "Fuck Off" and other stuff. Then most of them left...

They also wouldn't shut up about something called "Block Party", which I'm not sure what that is either.

Am I missing Something or what? I think it's a bit undue just to get randomly insulted like this. Though I have a feeling that it's part of the past, and something that we don't like to dwell on... If that's the case, then I understand and will forget anything ever happened.

Introductions / Hey, How's it Going?
March 20, 2012, 10:41:46 PM
Hey guys, My Name is Silent Muffin, and some of you may have seen me around every now and again. I may go by other names sometimes, but I always have the word "Muffin" somewhere in my name.

Anyways, I'm 19 years old, I'm currently in College and working as an aspiring Aerospace Engineer.

I'm usually quite friendly towards everybody, but that can change easily if anybody tries to test me. That being said, I'm quite easy to talk to, and really enjoy making friends, as well as playing with them.

I mainly play TF2 (Though less recently), as well as Minecraft (Specifically Tekkit). I will play other games such as Dungeon Defenders or L4D/L4D2 on occasion, though only usually if there are others to play with.

Coming from a competitive TF2 background, It's safe to say that I've been around the block a few times. I'm also quite knowledgeable on the TF2 Economy (Mann-conomy if you will)... If anybody needs any tips on playing or Trading or anything else of that sort, then just send me a message, as I'd be more than happy to help ya out.

Also, if anybody just needs a listening ear, or somebody to talk to. I'm here for that too. Because I'm not happy if my friends aren't happy...

Other than that, I'm real happy to meet you all, and I look forward to playing with you guys!!!
