I've been playing TF2 since about January/February '08, but I'm not a complete noob as I used to play a lot of TFC, as well as other team-oriented FPSes.
I found the Ville through trial and error. I was looking for servers with good players and clean voice chat. After testing the waters I just automatically gravitated towards the Ville. At that point I started paying some attention to the forums. You'll notice that I tend to be pretty quiet in-game and out. Yahoo and/or d0G encouraged me to introduce myself, so here I am!
I was playing a lot of soldier until the ammo patch. Now you'll usually find me either burning everything that isn't nailed down or healing the same.
Thanks to all who spend their time and resources hosting the ville servers. If there is any way that I can help, please let me know! I try to discourage disrespectful commentary (i.e. "the engineers on our team suck"), encourage constructive criticism, and speak out against foul, racial, and other abusive speech. In other words help keep the Ville a great place to play and have fun.
I also want to say thanks to all the good players that make the games so enjoyable. My steam friends list is constantly growing, and I always look forward to seeing you online.
Down with llamas!

Cheers,
TPF
