So thoughtful :) Sounds like an awesome idea!

My Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197963533843

Favourite Class: Pyro & Medic (with exception of Soldier, Engineer, and Heavy)
Favourite Weapon(s): Default weapons (Strange Prefixes are nice too ^-^)
Favourite Paint(s): Deep Commitment to Purple or Balaclavas Are Forever

I don't mind whatever it is that's given, I'm fine with anything :3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P.S. In addition to having a secret santa, I'll be giving 1 Earbud to One lucky participant for secret santa. Don't over think it as it being expensive, it's the thought that counts :)
I will be using a Random Number Generator to select One of the lucky person to claim it. Only 1 reply per person will be valid for the draw, otherwise spam (more than 3) will result to disqualification to get a chance in the draw for the 1 Earbud.

Happy Winter Holidays Everyone!!~

http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197971104305/

Sniper is my favourite class. (Quick-scoping head shot sniper at that. Charged body shots are for noobs! *poke poke* Challenge yourself people!!!) I respect a quick-scope sniper, but (charged) body shot noobs, nope.
I've come to like playing scout to. (It's fun to get behind them with Atomic Punch then be a nuisance at spawn.)

mini rant+venting:

I have the most hours in medic, but have about had my fill. I'm a damn good medic! Some, not so much... (Ever noticed, everyone around me is overhealed? Not just one person! Plus, I generally know you're hurt before you do, if I can see you that is!! :P) I want to be medic'd, not always be the medic. I spend more time looking for health packs some games because the medics all want to over-heal the same person. Yeah, that's effective... I do get medic love from time to time, though infrequently, and manage to do well. (Note: I appreciate it very much BTW!) I'm an aggressive player, not a fan of sticky camping, or hiding behind the lines just spamming hoping to hell I hit something. So, expect to die, but I promise if you are worth your salt as a medic, we'll do just fine in the end. (Plus, I have sandvich for you! Nom-Nom-Nom :P)

I also dont like sticking with one person as medic. But as vaccinator, i must stick to one good person and unload onto the enemy  :D But i generally heal multiple until max hp (not overheal since its takes a century with the vaccinator). In a tight situation, i just stick with my target to get out alive. That is what the vaccintor was made for. Severely for defense like getting out of sticky situations and some mild offense push. That is what i like of the vaccinator. Your target always gets a CONSTANT offense advantage while with uber,krits, and quickfix, your only offensive when your ubering. With the vaccinator, you can spare one or two ubers to get the job done or get out alive. That constant 10 percent resistance is really good too when your up against a medic team where you can focus on one resist type so you can finish them off. People like Dan and others like how i vaccinate. Heck, we have taken down krit-ubered demos, heavies and soldiers with just using the vaccinator uber to take that damage as non-crit. I dont see why people dont use it. Maybe they are lazy to be switching resistances but heck, it pays off.

/mini-huge rant part 2
Title: Re: Secret Santa!
Post by: Wolfpup on November 29, 2013, 03:49:37 PM
I never use it. I mostly use the stock weapons/medi-guns. I do use the Kritz on defense, but the normal uber on offensive.

I think I just have a bee in my bonnet with change. Some of it was needed, some, just ruined the game in ways as I see it. They should have removed random kritz officially long ago with all the additional stuff that mini-kritz's now. Between the pee, milk, buff banner, etc, randoms are soooo not needed. *shrug*

Feels good to vent though. :)

But I guess this isn't the thread for this. My apologies for going sideways.

Are there like limits? I didn't think this was gonna be some big expensive thing but i see people suggesting like strange weapons and unusual hats like, those aren't cheap things haha. I'm gonna feel like an asshole if i give someone like a hat and a couple keys and they gave someone like an unusual hat or whatever.

No Sandie, there are no limits. I don't want anyone to feel like they aren't giving a good enough gift. I wanted this event to be fun and festive. Feel free to be spend as much as you feel comfortable, because remember in the end it is the spirit of the season and a fun way to show your friends you care.

Sent mine to Cowking, he made use of it and got over 30 killstreaks with it  ;D

I got mine frmo BGD which was a crate series 75 so I thought, "WHAT A JACKASS"

But then I received mine from :I (King Cone's friend) and it was perfect.  A professional LooseCannon Killstreak kit.
