Subject: I can think of a few other mini-Specs...

Because, apparently, my name is impossible to spell right on DeviantART.
Ergo: SpecterC, ScepterSC, SpectacularSC, SpecsSC (which I later used as my fictionpress name, so that one's actually off.)
Basically, unless I physically spell out my name to the person, odds are 50-50 that they'll screw it up and make a mini-Specs.
I just wanted to ask, really quick here...
What's up with the Obama Hate-Fest suddenly springing up?
I mean, I'm no Obama fan, sure, but these... Huge articles of records about his religious hatreds of sorts are starting to pop up, unannounced, in the wrong discussions, with titles that do little to reflect the post.
It's starting to worry me. Both KittyNoodles and Lily Winterwood have, supposedly, posted the big articles under previously-used post titles, at extremely inconvenient times and inappropriate places.
The problem is, Kitty isn't even online - she's asleep - and Lily hasn't hardly said anything all day outside of a happy birthday and a few sparse replies.
Somebody please tell me we're not being hacked.
...I have no idea what you're talking about. I mean, clearly it's a problem right now, but I haven't seen any Hate-fests, though that could just be because I can be spectacularly unobservant at times.
Are the hacks at least funny? Like, with grossly inaccurate info?
They were deleted by The Nameless Admin, that's why you don't see them.
And no, it was pretty disgusting, actually.
That's not to say don't try to stop, but it's not that big a deal.
Although you may have reached the point where 'Anonymous' is actually a misspelling of your name, and therefore have a mini-Boarder so named...

They have little Cool Swords that could scratch you.
And they're prone to spontaneous combustion.
(Hm, note to self: use different characters for eventual second attempt. Teh Specs is too overpowered.)

Because, you know, he's Anonymous.
Aw, he's so cute and little-- ow, he kicked me!
Spritz bottle.
He doesn't like spritzing.
Ow! How'd he even reach that high?
Be lucky you didn't get fatality'd.
As per this.
The posts consisted of a copy-paste of this article, which is fairly agressively anti-Obama, but I can't find anything else that needs a specific warning for the link. The title is 'America’s Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President'.
If you feel the need to read it (anyone, not specifically firemagic), I'm going to take this opportunity to remind you that flames are not welcome on the Board, and that not everyone necessarily agrees with you.

...knowing I'd never willingly post anything that idiotic.
Makes me miss the ypurs...
Everyone can enter your user name in the field up there.

... I think posting under the names of six or seven people who aren't you - and reusing their (or other people's) post titles - counts as 'hacking'. It looked fairly automated, at least...

Don't listen to her! I'm the real me!

Hackers are scary.
For future reference, I am extremely liberal. Not the biggest fan of Obama per se, but the bloke is infinitely better than Romney.
You know it's Polyjuice Potion when posts like that happen under my name.
Those are really annoying, too.
*Pulls out his trusty Hitman's Heattaker and shoots right in the head a Spy disguised as a Boarder*
Boom, headshot!
From your pal, Teh Heavy Specs.
*Switches to Rainblower and engulfs spy with RAINBOWS!*
...okay, maybe not the best idea I've ever had.
None of that! Shame on you! I thought we raised you better than that!
...all joking aside, the Jarate/Bushwaka combo is possibly one of the most potent combos a CQC Sniper can have. Jarate a guy and bludgeon him to death with your almighty crit-blade or use your primary to finish him off. Even the mighty Heavy will die in two hits from this attack... so long as he isn't overhealed.
But that's noting compared to the amounts of rage generated by the Sydney Sleeper.
Lately, I'm going with either Hitman's Heattaker-SMG-Tribalman's Shiv or HH-Cozy Camper-TS.
I played with Machina-Jarate-TS for a lot of time, though.
Gotta love when an enemy gets his aim completely thrown off by bleeding mini-crits.
I'm having fun with Shortstop-Flying Guillotine-Wrap Assassin Scout, too. (Although I think I should try to use the Sandman, too, to get advantage of the crit-when-stunned mechanic of the Guillotine)
I'm the world's worst Spiper, so I usually run Sydney Sleeper- Jarate - Bushwaka for long-distance fights or Huntsman- Jarate - Bushwaka for CQC. I do assists and body shots, not proper sniping...
As a Soldier or Demoman, the stock weapons are so beautifully balanced it's a shame to use anything else (Buff Banner is acceptable if you have a competent team). Same goes for Heavy (though Sandvich is always nice) and Scout.
Demoknights... no. Just no.
Engineer is where I usually sink most of my time in. Frontier Justice is way too situational for my tastes so I just stick to the stock primary and secondaries. Wrenches, on the other hand... I usually run Southern Hospitality for defence and Jag/Gunslinger for offense.
The only thing you need for the Medic is the Übersaw. Accept no substitutes!
I don't play Pyro much so I can't really advise anyone on that.
I don't want to talk about my Spy gameplay. It's too horrible to even mention.
I usually use it to define:
1) some kills I do as a Spy at very long range (carefully timed shots from the Enforcer have perfect accuracy, and the extra damage make it actually useful in a firefight. I usually go Enforcer-Spycicle-Cloak and Dagger lately)
2) Huntsman taunt-kills. I once killed a Spy from behind with it. Priceless.
*imitates the Heavy's voice* IN SOVIET RUSSIA, SNIPER BACKSTABS SPY!
Meet him here.
Huntsman tauntkills? I like Übersaw tauntkills better. I actually destroyed a Heavy/Medic pair that was rounding the corner with that. Saw through the Heavy, bludgeon the Medic to death, walk out with full Übercharge.
Like a boss.
My best kill ever was as a Spy, however. I was playing pn this Mario Kart 2 V30 map, where there is a control point on a part of the map that can be reached only by spawning there or falling into two well-hidden portals into the map.
The portals put you on some kind of tall, thin hill a few meters from the CP, and the server where I was playing had the goomba mechanic (jump on an enemy's head from high enough and you get an insta-kill.)
I once went there through portal, and found three enemy Scouts on the CP. They didn't see me, but trying to engage them with normal means would have been a suicide.
So, I said "Screw it", and decided to attempt to goomba at least one of them.
As a successful goomba shoots you back in the air, I found myself being able to stomp all three of them without them even noticing.
Triple goomba. Too bad that a Soldier blew me into bits while I was taunting.
(The server where I played is the angrynewbs mario kart 24/7 one. Very good if you want to try out a loadout or just want to kill stuff without worrying about teamwork or the goal of the map. I am playing there a lot lately.)
Right after every epic moment of epic win, someone will come out of nowhere and bean you in the face with something. I feel your pain.
By the way, do you have Rocket Jumper - Manthreads - Market gardener? There is an enormous amount of fun to be had with those.
Since I live in a very... isolated part of the globe, I doubt I can connect to that server in question. I'm lucky to get a ping of 60 on US West coast servers (while not being bad, it's really annoying when little things start making you lag-a-port across the map).
My chronically overheating computer probably doesn't help either.
Come on, you know it to be true.
...or the Bombinomicon with its goofy accent.
Heh heh heh, *clunk clunk whir*
You're more ahead of the game than I am. The most I really know of it is one or two rounds of capture the point during a Bro/Nerd sleepover with some friends.
And I played Pyro and Engineer the whole time.
...contained in the comics and various media that surround the game. Have you seen any "Meet the team" videos?
Engineer, eh? It's my favourite class, actually. Nobody plays Engineer or Medic when we really need one on the team (usually there's four derpy spies running around and getting themselves killed instead) so I'm almost always seen as a support player. Pyro is fun too, but the W+M1 (walk forward and spam flamethrower) mentality is still strong with the new players. When they learn to airblast properly Pyros can curbstomp Soldiers and Demomen. Puff-and-sting (light enemy on fire, whack them with the crit-axe) still strikes fear into the hearts of many if executed by a good Pyro.
If your computer can handle it, TF2 is free to play. Just download the Steam client, download TF2 and you're good to go. Sure, you might only get 50 backpack slots for your weapons but the game is so worth it it doesn't even matter. All weapons are very well balanced and the only thing that separates new players from the old guard is skill.
Heh heh heh, SeaTurtle? Might I direct you to my response to The Nameless Admin from last night?
I don't have a computer. XD
But yeah, I played Pyro and Engineer, primarily because I'm really not that good up in the thick of things. The nice part about the two is that I get some range between me and DYERRRP SPAIS.
And my turrets were totally awesome.
I also like the Engineer/Pyro buddy system. Engineer getting sapped? Hit the sapper with the fire axe!
And the Engineer building method: bash wrench into machine until it stops being scrap metal.
As for the meet the team videos, I've seen them all. Including Medic.
Because I'm busy holding the point.
I'm not a fan of Obama. If you are serious, you're making the rest of us look bad. If you are a supporter of his operating under a false flag, shame on you.
The records show that it had posted seven times so far, from what appears to be a Blackberry, with varying final digits of its IP. Fortunately, no-one else is using the first three parts, so that's easy to solve.
Interestingly, the same IP also posted last November, pushing drugs as Huinesoron. It's nice to know we're remembered, isn't it?
Off now to delete all instances unless someone has said something exceptionally amusing. We don't need a list of every time Obama has come into contact with anything religious, I think.
Thankfully, my phone is an Android. (Galaxy S2, to be exact.)
It's a but unnerving to know that it's been coming from a cell phone, though.
I've just spotted another one - Antigone, apparently posting the same article, with a topic post I used that should have nothing else written but the topic title.
I'm dead serious, are we being hacked?
