Thanks B&B for working so hard to seed the servers!
Favorite game/server: TF2 / TV2 when it's actually full.
Favorite Map: tc_hydro and cp_steel (Although it will probably make a lot of you hate me!). pl_waste is pretty good too. Really, I tend to like non-standard maps quite a bit.
Favorite class: Medic
Favorite Weapon: Frying Pan
When did you first play at the Ville?: I probably first played on TheVille sometime around 2001-2002 in the TFC days. I visited off and on over the next several years, playing in a few different communities including TheVille. My favourite maps at the time were warpath and avanti.
I discovered TheVille for real on TF2 in late 2007, and joined the forums in mid 2008. Valve had just released the functionality for Escort maps (which were later renamed to Payload maps), but there still weren't any official maps. TheVille had an Escort maps server with only one custom map on it.
When I mentioned to Dog in-game that I'd played some other custom escort maps that were decent, he asked me to PM him a link to some of the maps. In order to send Dog a PM, I had to sign up to the Forums, so thanks Dog for helping me discover the Forums!
BTW, one of the maps I sent Dog was happycow, so you can blame me for the existence of this awful map on TV2!
Favorite Musical Group: Great Big Sea
What's it like to game with on-board video for 3 months? Awful.

DDYzErOHe knows what he did.
Fraulein ArztinHe is always fun to play with, and he is a great admin to boot!
Frau makes The Ville a better place. She's always up for MvsM, often getting a lobby going. Great fun!
I am a mummyBecause Frau = Win every time you interact with her.
John DoeFor not rage quitting whenever I stalk and kill him. :3
malkazarFor his amazing ability to fill out my barren L4D2 Lobbies. And his rugged looks...
Maple ManAlways fun to play with, and a positive influence on the servers.
MateoTheBold!For good work seeding servers, high forum activity, and being fun and positive in-game.
OldManHis mere presence makes the rest of the Ville appear that much more amazing because of contrast effects
He's old
SeventhornJust the coolest cat we got round these parts.
Snidely WhiplashSeventhorn has continuously made me feel welcomed in the server. He communicates well on mic, helps out in any role and also balances out stacked teams. He's credit to team!
SoltanSnidely is a facilitating presence on TV VI. He helps balance the action by switching to the team that is getting rolled or by encouraging class changes in his own team. Or he'll change class himself for better balance. True, lots of players do this also, but Snidely stands out by doing it consistently and by being of good cheer regardless of the outcome -- which makes the Ville a better place.
Sparky062097Soltan has always been a solid part of this community. If you need a friendly medic or admin, look no further.
TilgasseSparky makes great art for people like it's no big deal. He also doesn't let mononucleosis keep him from roaming the flank. Coincidence?
Tilgasse -aka- Lemons. For his regular efforts in the realm of Ville-based zombie slaying.
