How did you find the ville?
I want to know how you found the ville. One day I felt the need to play on cp_gravelpit, so I searched through a bunch of instant-spawn, and bot severs. Finally one sever showed promise. It was TV7, after playing for a bit I found the website and joined. How about you?
Re: How did you find the ville?
I was recommended through Overcharged and Mateothebold. Who both played warpath on TV8 regularly. Poor OC can no longer play due to his remote location..

Re: How did you find the ville?
Way back in 19 ought 200 hundreded and 7. My friend and former co worker Red Seal told me about this place.
So out of drunkin curiosity, I opened my POS laptop checked it out and joined. Then about 7 months later I gots me a big high power computer with a real keyboard and all, moved out of the sticks and got me some fancy D.S.L.
Thats when I got my first taste of VALVe and Steam.
Then just recently can you believe they asked me to be an admin. Heck it wasn't that long ago I couldn't even spell admin. Now I is one. .
And thats my story.

Re: How did you find the ville?
i was looking for fun after tfc died and the server i was admin on was no more. i stumbled across DOD 1.3 as my new game of choice, then within a day or so found the old tv3. As the ville had similar rules to my old tfc home i stayed and made friends. ive been here ever since.
I have not played on another server for years now, nothing can even come close to this place or these people.

Re: How did you find the ville?
I found it back in 05'. Playing Dod 1.3. The people playing seemed weird and different, they weren't chowderheads like most of the other servers at the time
This set them apart. It was pretty well organized. After my 5 year old son got himself banned here (for running around blocking people) I pleaded my case and the banning Admin was nice enough to unban. It showed me the crew here were smart and caring, with children of their own.
It's like life in general, keep searching and you will find what you are looking for.

Re: How did you find the ville?
I really enjoyed your response, Mlite. :)
I found the Ville back in February-ish of 2010. I didn't play TF2 all that often, but when I did, I played Dustbowl. (The friend who got me into the game always played there and that's where I learned everything.) I hopped around to various 24/7 Dustbowl servers. Then I found a particular one with a heap of good players. A real challenge. Everyone was friendly. That one was, of course, The Ville's 24/7 Dustbowl. I've made a lot of friends from that server. I'd occasionally venture off to the other Ville servers, but I consider TV6 my home.
The Ville is the reason I play this game so often. Always fun times to be had at TV6. :)

Back in the beginning of '08 I followed my good buddy from Tribes 2 Fozzy. He and some of his RL friends (including thatsaspicymeatballa) were playing here and I liked the atmosphere so I stuck around.

Re: How did you find the ville?
I played on one of TheVille's TF2 servers a few months after TF2 came out. A few months after that, I joined the forums.
I don't know what made me stay, but I think it might have had something to do with the fact that the server played more than 24/7 2fort. Also everyone was pretty friendly, and I could turn on the ability to hear players' microphones without being aurally bombarded with expletives.

Re: How did you find the ville?
I found TheVille by chance during the DOD 1.3 era. One of the very few servers during that time that kept control over the griefers, cheaters, lowlifes that seemed all too common almost everywhere else. That and it was populated by a good community (still is). Frosty, Maka, Ellroy, Gator, Canadian Rifle were some of the first Villuns I encountered. IIRC, Ellroy was fun to listen to when alltalk was on, we were on opposing teams, and I was using the 'zook at long range. (Ellroy: "Wait, is that a bazoo.....*BOOM!*)
Dog isn't Evil, he's Canadian. There's a difference.

Re: How did you find the ville?
I feel like I should go into more detail with my story. It all started with TamiyaGuy's Tf2 Moment of the week, they played on Facepunch UK and it looked like so much fun. Unfortunately for some reason I could not join Facepunch UK. I was kinda depressed that I would never be able to have the moments that TamiyaGuy had, then I found the Ville. The people here were so nice when the medics healed me they would say "I got you Pea" and when the round was over the comments were flooded with "gg" from both sides. I simply knew that the Ville would be where I had my TF2 moments of the week.

Re: How did you find the ville?
Completely random coincidence. The very first server I joined about 5 years ago playing DoD1.3... was playing Saints.
