Let the Heavies use the damn teleporters first

The logic on this is simple - if you don’t know what you are doing, and you walk to the front, you will live longer. I am putting this in terms of your personal benefit and gain, because it seems that all sense of team-play goes out the door as soon as a teleport entrance goes down.

An additional benefit is that if you let the heavy go first, your team may actually be able to make some progress. This is especially true if you are relatively fast moving class like a pyro, or demoman, or spy, or definitely a scout - you will probably get there the same time as the heavy by the time the teleport charges from the previous user.

DO NOT under any circumstances use the “barging” effect to push others out of the way who are already standing on it. I’m looking at you _Ballistic - tf2.com.au. Despite your heroic spy point whoring and queue jumping, our team still lost on dustbowl last night.

If you’re having to groin thrust more than Freddie Mercury in a unitard at a Queen concert in order to barge heavies off the teleport so you can use it, something is wrong. Even though you were so desperate to get to the front line to play dress up and have cups of tea with the defenders, I still noticed that the sentries didn’t go down for the entire game. Maybe those doctors at the front could have used the heavies waiting at the teleport to push through and take them down if you weren’t going to? Yeah, nice work on the high score BUT WE STILL LOST.

Yes, that was me whining like a little girl about it over voice comms, but hey - I’m in the right and I’ve got my own web site. So whatever.

On another minor annoyance - I live 2 km from Flemington Racecourse in Melbourne (where the famous Melbourne Cup horse racing event is held), and the stupid god damn helicopters have been buzzing overhead ALL DAY trying to film enough TV footage for a 10 second piece on the evening news. I HATE IT. SHUT UP WITH THE DAMN ROTORS. INVENT GRAV-LIFTS OR SOMETHING. JUST STOP WITH THE NOISE.

Today isn’t even the main Melbourne cup day. Just one of the warm up race days. I hate to think how annoying this is gonna be on Tuesday for the big race. At least its a public holiday.

    Turns out that all the helicopters are used by the ultra rich to get to and from the race. You know the ones - those guys that are so rich they don’t want to have to slum it in a stretch limo or a Ferrari or anything…

    its things like that that make me disgusted with the widening gap between the rich and the super-rich. What is this? Facism?

    Those poor rich people only being able to afford one holiday to the bahamas this year…
    Disgraceful.

    The rich are people too.
