I'm a west coast U.S. player who mains [[Scout]] competitively. When I pub, I usually mess around with other classes, and I prefer no random crits or damage spread. My current team is [http://steamcommunity.com/groups/pxtf2 Perplex]. I'm on the TF2 Beta 2 but it hasn't worked in ages so there's nothing much to say about it these days. Still on a piece of crap computer that requires more and more tweaking to maintain playability (will work for fps).

Info

I'm a west coast U.S. player who mains Scout competitively. When I pub, I usually mess around with other classes, and I prefer no random crits or damage spread. My current team is Perplex. I'm a long-time reader and lurker on Wikipedia, was a moderator on the old TF2 Wiki, and am now an administrator on the Official TF Wiki.

My main interests on the wiki are game mechanics and weapon statistics, policies and guidelines, usability features and formatting, game options and configs (scripts, huds, cvars, etc), and competitive play topics. Areas in which I'm noticeably less-than-informed include cosmetic accessories (hats), Model Viewer image creation, and translations.
