An account for Mann Up to play as a no-tour.
Don't bother kicking me out of spite. I thrive off your toxicity.
I'm an introvert stuck inside an extrovert account.


Nenn mich wie du willst, aber Fireschlong ist ein guter Anfang.

Können ist, wenn Glück zur Gewohnheit wird.

Ja, du musst deine Sünde korrigieren, aber du kannst sie nicht kaufen.

Was los mit dir? Bestellst du auch ein Jäger-Schnitzel und beschwerst dich dann über Pilze in der Sauce?

Digga, was die Leute so über mich reden und sagen im Internet. Gewisse Dinge stimmen, ja, aber die bauen ein Gerüst auf, wie sie es gerne hätten. Aber ich bin der, der ich bin, Digga, nicht der, wo die sagen, dass ich der bin. Der bin ich nicht, Digga.

Du denkst du spielst Schach, aber du spielst nicht Schach, Digga. Du spielst Schach gegen dich selber. Du hast keinen, mit dem du Schach spielst, ich spiel nicht mit dir Schach. Du bist dein eigener Gegner!

Geschichte wiederholt sich; gib einem Mann ein Glas Wasser und er trinkt es. Gib einem Mann einen Strohhalm und er trinkt dich.

Da wird es jetzt aber ganz schön eng für alle bayerischen Kneipen in denen die Gäste ne gemütliche Runde Schafkopf um ein paar Euro zocken.

In accordance with our house rules, it must be noted that the Seven of Spades holds a position of utmost importance and significance. Thus, in any given trick-taking game, it is to be understood that the Seven of Spades unequivocally takes the trick without any exception.

Our house rules dictate that if a D4 falls on the ground and isn't retrieved within 5 seconds, the owner's character risks stepping on it and taking 1D4 damage, as if they stepped on a pointy rock.

The ball in Roulette represents the way money moves when it's flushed fown the toilet.

I think we should have a Fireschlong awareness month, where we give a ton of Tour of Duty tickets to some broke loser who just wants to gamble.

As a digital archaeologist, I discourage the misuse of the term "dead" when it comes to TF2. It waters down the magical places that are actual dead/forgotten media.

A broke MvM enthusiast owns this account
Why not play bootcamp/custom MvM/anything that isn't Mann Up instead?
Because I do that on my main. Also, playing Mann Up while having no tours sounds funny to me, and my main has tours that I'd like to keep.

But why?
The idea is to go Pyro (without gas*) and find people who get annoyed from seeing a no-tour Pyro. Being smart is a huge responsibility, which is why I love to pretend that I'm a moron. Also, picking Pyro or Spy seems to invoke toxicity the most. Despite being this account's theme, I'm only an alright Pyro though. I can fill roles if needed and asked nicely, and my best classes are Scout and Medic. Neither of the "idle"** sort usually, and no degen Canteen Medic.

Aren't you wasting your time?
It's my time and I use it how I want, and it's not wasted time if I'm having fun anyway.
Also, don't bother kicking me for the sake of wasting my time***. I'm not here for loot. You aren't denying ♥♥♥♥, and you aren't pissing me off. In fact, I thrive off your toxicity, so if anything, better kick me early to deny that pleasure. Or maybe, instead of being a jerk, consider doing votekicks when it's actually reasonable (as in, when I'm actually being an idiot).

A trade link (only because I can, there is literally no reason to trade with me )
Of course, you COULD provide tickets for my main account or whatever, but why would you?



*I don't mind gas, but I prefer the Thermal Thruster. The Gas Passer is overkill for anything except Über Medics (for which the Third Degree is a fun and valid choice), though it is possibly the biggest cause of degeneracy. Anyway, Pyro is viable without it, and things were OP before gas. It's merely far cheaper and easier to use than the degeneracy that came before (less setup than ScoRes, less skill than Explosive Headshot (not degen, just OP), but no giant deletion). Ultimately, it's weaker than ScoRes, Beggars and EH, and the safety it provides is quickly outclassed by the DPS of W+M1. The bigger issues are that it denies Health-on-Kill, milk heals, banner charges etc and invalidates even more, and that it attracts clueless players. If I had to balance it, I'd reduce the damage to 150 so it kills Übermeds but not power classes. Anyway, remember when it used to recharge from its own damage? That was true degen gas.

**How are "idle playstyles" bad anyway, as long as you contribute somehow? Using your gun helps a lot though, and shield bashes are fun. Also, shield bashing is arguably less idle than canteen spam, so don't you dare call me an IdleMed.

***If you kick on last, you are admitting that you needed me to finish the mission. Otherwise, you would have just kicked me as soon as you started disliking my presence. There's no reason to endure someone you hate if you can get rid of them.
Silly stuff people said to me, and my sassy remarks
Thermal Thruster is ♥♥♥♥ in MvM.
And gas is only useful vs Übermeds, which the Third Degree can also handle. And it costs 400 of my precious Dollars. I prefer mobility over a downgrade to W+M1.
*Me, visibly using gas* Pyro, please equip gas.
Reluctantly, I did. For you. Because I'm not a jerk. Were you only looking when the Übermeds popped because my gas didn't register? Because, every other cluster of Übermeds got deleted. Did you not notice? If so, I might as well have used the Third Degree instead of gas and spent 400 credits for flamethrower damage instead.
Phlog Pyro is useless if there's no tanks, and I should switch to Airblast Pyro.
Backburner supremacy, but Phlog is still free crits. How is that useless? And why is airblast more useful? Not that it's not, but a lack of tanks doesn't invalidate Damage Pyro. He still shreds giants.
That person also complained to me when I jetpack'd away from the tank to grab ammo, even though I immediately jetpack'd back after I grabbed a pack that was barely off the path. Can't melt the tank without ammo, dude. We had plenty of time for it too. These 5 seconds didn't matter.
I have no tours. I don't even know the map.
If you're here, you probably know that I know how to play. Questioning my skill is normal (especially with no tours), but stop judging a book by its cover.
Related to that, shifting the blame on one person alone only works that far until it becomes clear that it's a team issue. I may be a moron, but I usually know who did what wrong.
Black Box sucks.
In the context of MvM, it might literally be just stock. If you're constantly firing, you're constantly reloading, and unless you fully reload, there is literally no difference between those. I like the small heal though. It's quite neat, even if it isn't much. And no, I won't compare it to Beggar's, because that's not the point. Beggar's is OP. Stock is "only" strong, and so is Black Box.

Honestly, I find gas to be unreliable too. Every time I throw it, I worry that this will be that one time it doesn't register. I also think gas is too boring, and when it only comes into play against Übermeds (although there are a few more practical applications, but W+M1 can take care of those), then I'll just spend these 400 on flamethrower damage and ddon't bother with Übermeds unless I have to.

I'm sure that for maximum performance gas is best, but I prefer mobility instead. Especially after the Thermal Thruster bailed me out by being able to catch up to a Super Scout.
