 First to reach the book = gift.

 Seems like a straightforward system.

[Jackrabbit]

I got all the masks and made the sackston hale mask last year, and I never use it because it looks like crap. Not to mention that I virtually never actually play TF2 anymore. So I saw no point in wasting hours on it this time (I did get the achievements and necrobombicon or whatever it is, but the explosion doesn't even hurt enemies, so it's useless).

If the explosion hurt enemies it'd be a massive gamebreaker, essentially preventing anyone from using melee weapons and making the spy almost useless and terrified to stab anyone with scoping them out first. I mean, could you imagine if there were two engies in an engie nest and they were both wearing one? There's no way one spy could do anything.

Better idea.

x number of haunted halloween gifts are given out to the killers of monoculus.  Where x is the level of monoculus


Say the list consists of Scoot, Wankers, and SANDVIICH.  They killed level 1 monoculus.

Game randomly picks one to receive the gift.  Same list, but level 2.  Game picks Scoot first, then chooses between Wankers and SANDVIICH for the remaining one.  Say he was level 4.  All three get gifts, and a fourth is distributed randomly among them again.

This would actually get people working together to kill that eyeball.  Seriously, why did they add levels if there's no point to it other than he annoys everyone even more now.

You seem to be forgetting that Valve is a masterful troll.

This.
Release a bunch of awesome cosmetic items. Make them only wearable for 3 days every month.
Introduce an epic boss battle. Reward the items for finding a randomly spawning box instead.
Give players two weeks to obtain 27 costume pieces.

It succeeded enough to get me to stop playing for the duration of the event after spending about an hour harvesting the event's low-hanging fruit. Never even saw a gift that lasted more than five seconds and Scout is probably my worst class. That and it turned my precious balloon race servers into ghost towns. Though I have high hopes for tonight.

Incidentally, what would it take to get one of the Balloon Race maps added to the community server rotation? For all it's wonkiness, it is my favorite way to break up more conventional maps.

[Metalax]

It shouldn't be too difficult to add one to the server, Not sure if we would want to add it to the normal rotation or just put it up available for voting as most people would have to download the map if it came up, which tends to empty the server if it hasn't already been agreed to use it.

[MrWiggles]

I was on one 'cheat' server doing the halloween stuff. It was pretty spiffy.

The cap was turned off. The boss was left normal.

When you joined the server, you placed in a waiting line. When it was your turn, you had the ability to freeze everyone for sixty seconds. If you couldnt find it in 60 seconds, it became free game.

I really liked the server, because it the only server I saw, where the same person didnt keep on getting the fucking gift...

Through trade, I managed to get two full costume sets.

[dragonshardz]

I was lucky enough to find a good server with a high population that just kinda worked together. We'd hang out, chat, kill each other and stuff. Gifts would show up, and we'd just have an informal rotation. Monoulus would show up and we'd ice him, then go back to fucking around.

Good times. It was FuG's Convoy server.

Thank you for reminding me to watch this again.

That.

That is the best thing.

I want to do that.

I want to do that so badly. My inner Troll demands it.

[Duke 2.0]

 I need to find the IP for Convoy again. That is still a really good community to play this with.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   So uh, I tried to play TF2 but it keeps getting an error about memory that it can't read. I looked around some and did a bunch of suggested things to try to fix it but nothing worked. I even found this which looked promising as it had some new things to try but it all failed to let me play. Anyone know how to fix this annoying failure? My computer is XP Pro, has 1.5Gb of RAM and currently has a NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400, anything else you need to know can be supplied. My drivers are up to date and I have uninstalled TF2 and reinstalled it already to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

   I can explain! The computer is 11 years old...

Is it the GeForce2? Cause I think my dead computer has something better.
