The problem with this is everyone wants a trophy, with the nameplate at the bottom declaring the winner is instead a shiny mirror that shows yourself.

It's popular for gamers to repeat the same tactics & play the same class like a record instead of growing. Or exploring different routes. Some engineers lately are getting creative with dispenser kills which is refreshing. Changing up SG placements, listening for footsteps better too. Not suiciding with grenades as a defense in basement, before switching to basement pyro.

I don't trust the maturity of many here to give recognition to others or show vulnerability to ask questions to other gamers. Perhaps some of you will respect skillful players instead of getting angry, resorting to spam or odd class roles mid-match. Or demonizing an entire class altogether forever.

My opinion is the snipers that say "ns" or can ask a question, instead of the mindset they are a god with no room to grow or improve belong on the sniper list. I think as snipers it's easier to judge skill & every sniper has their own internal list of threats. But asking for names is like when you asked your parents which of your brothers & sisters is their very favorite, that's just asking for trouble! Shoutout to General Yeargan for having the maturity & courage to list names.

Some MVP unspoken heroes are engineers, especially ones capable of defending against multiple skilled offense & using tools at their disposal such as exploding dispensers & their microphone to relay threat information. Again & again they do not get credit for winning or losing a match. Unlike other roles, often times the choices they make can determine a match. It's like a godly guitar player who's also the drummer in a band who writes every single song, however all the fans give credit to the flashy lead singer instead.

We all play 2fort for those moments when it's a tied game, the clock is ticking and suddenly both flags are on the move! You become a star or a turd based on choices made in the moment.

Every Sunday for the next 9 weeks, I'm going to post a new thread about the D2F AST

As a community, let's put together the 3 top CURRENT players (regulars) for each class. These top 3 don't need to be ranked in order, but just the top best 3 of each class. Everybody can throw names out there and the 3 names with the most amount of mentions will lead that class.

Everybody please comment the names of who you recommend and I'll keep track of the points for each player. I'll consider it "closed" once a week passes. So, this will be a 9 week run starting this Sunday, 1/21. The first thread will be "Drippy's All Star Team - Scouts", and so on and so forth each Sunday in succession going down the TFC class list (sniper, soldier, demo, etc...)

PS: This idea was inspired when I joined earlier as sniper and had to face this lineup:

-Statix
-General-Yeargan
-UPSET
-Deimo Seef

They were all snipers...probably my worst nightmare unless Akutow randomly joined too.

Anyway, I hope this is a fun idea to kind of get some people engaged and give some props and recognition to the guys and gals that regularly kick ass!
