I'm a little curious about what I need to play TTT as well. I have the orange box, but not Garry's Mod. Do I JUST need Garry's Mod, or will I need to download CS:S and Garry's Mod. This just looks like too much fun not to play. Not even from a griefing standpoint, the game looks like it could be a blast.

E: Well I think that answers it, thanks Ninja.

So this


Or if you have CS:s:
this .

Actually now I'm still confused, this is from their website:

Steam posted:

Notice: This game requires that you own a Source engine game such as Counter-Strike: Source, Half-Life 2, or Day of Defeat: Source. Click here for a full list of games that meet this requirement. Please note that Portal: First Slice and the bundled Half-Life 2: Deathmatch do not fulfill this requirement.

So this is just saying that Garry's Mod requires you own a source engine game right? TTT actually requires it to be CS:S? Or will Team Fortress 2 work as that's on the list of games.

Correct me if I'm wrong: Mash killed the traitor for killing his buddy, but didn't know he was a traitor. RDMing means random death matching, or killing someone without a reason (evidence, witnessing a murder, etc.) Now, it just so happened this person was an Admin! Therefore: BAN!


This is really bugging me. It takes all the subtlety out of the game. This should be about survival, and there's nothing wrong with taking out the shiftiest guy if you think you can get away with it.

I think the main problem is most people see it as traitors vs innocents, while I see it as traitors vs me vs you vs that guy vs that other guy.

I had a guy on a server 2 days a go (named "__chance" I think) who wouldn't shut up about what was a RDM.
You kill someone who's aiming at you and trying to stay behind you: RDM
You see a guy do something suspicious like hiding a body and kill him: RDM
There's only two people left and you decide to just kill them both: RDM
You find a body that was killed with a shot gun 20 seconds ago and another person is standing over it with half health holding a shotgun: You might get away with killing him but he better be a traitor in the end.

It basically came down to, only being allowed to kill someone if they tried to kill you first. guess how much fun that is.

Man, TTT sounds a lot like an extremely pared-down, FPS version of SS13 (sure wish I had the time to play that these days... maybe after I graduate).

Hey SS13 goons, you guys should totally try to mod TTT into SS13. Sounds like a decent amount of groundwork's already been laid :)

I think how it works is that Garry's Mod itself works with any source engine game. TTT however, uses CS:S models, so in order to play it you need that game too. If you only have TF2, you can only see TF2 models in it.

This is correct, Gmod is a tool to play with any of the source engine games and the engine itself.
If you've bought gmod just for TTT you REALLY should try the goon gmod server.

Pirate World: Nearly done!
The sheer paranoia in this game is incredible to play off, especially combined with the absolute proof of anything you've said when your body turns up innocent.

My absolute favourite thing to do is throw a grenade at a group and accuse someone else of it. Even better if someone else again sees you do it and kills you; they'll get shot for killing an innocent, the guy you accused gets killed, and the grenade hits half of the survivors. I did this on the LUE server and the ensuing clusterfuck of accusations and shooting those who'd killed an innocent saw me, four innocents and one unlucky traitor shot. Heh.

If you don't have any grenades, pick up a shotgun and aim it at someone's face until they break and kill you. They lose karma (less damage done next round) and get murdered for killing an innocent. I like making the same player repeatedly kill me, especially in front of detectives.

You can, but it's terrible. Nearly everything will be a giant ERROR model or a black and purple checker-board texture.

edit: it does have some advantages though. you can see through a lot of walls since they're just wire-frames, and player models use that checker-board texture so you can easily see them in total darkness.

The best thing I can suggest, if you just want it for GMod purposes (which is a good idea) is to either catch it on sale (I got it half off a couple years ago and it was 75% off for a weekend last December) or just get the Valve complete pack (which is currently ~$240 worth of games for $100) and you'll be set.

You can play TTT if you own garrysmod and do this with a friends copy of counterstrike, just borrow their account and download it.

The reason I didn't suggest that is that it's kind of not legal at all.

Books are the real treasures of the world!
Fun Shoe
My old roommate and I used to play Blackthorn and Raven Shield all the time. Both were team based FPSs that allowed you to pick from a huge list of modern rifles, pistols and bonus gear like heartbeat detectors and a few flavors of grenades. We were both sort of good, partially because we mastered the lightweight MP5SD while everyone else insisted on hauling around their P90s, partially because we had a slight ping advantage, but mostly because we were playing an online shooter while both of us were physically in the same room. Being able to talk to each other and see each other’s monitors was an incredible advantage, especially once we got bored and started loving around.

This is now a roleplaying server
Both my roommate (let’s call him Neil) and I hated a certain map. It was a boat, and it encouraged stalemates and it always took too long to play a round. When the map came up in rotation we would declare the server a roleplaying server, the boat became the Love Boat, and everyone must be in character at all times. Neil would rename himself to Isaac and I’d rename myself to Merrill Stubing. We would then reenact imaginary scenes from The Love Boat, and berate anyone who didn’t follow our example. We would also threaten to kick people from the server that did not follow our roleplay rules.

We were never admins on the server during Love Boat roleplay. If we were, we would have just bumped the server to the next map.

Sometimes we wanted to roleplay but weren’t on the stupid boat map. We would rename ourselves to Egg Shen and Jack Burton and roleplay Big Trouble in Little China. This was always fun, but often lead to tears because we couldn’t agree on who got to be who. After all, everyone knows that Egg Shen is the coolest.

This is how you button your coat
The secret to our success in Raven Shield / Blackthorn was the lightweight but wimpy MP5SD. It had little stopping power, but it was accurate enough allow you to hit someone in the torso even while you were moving. The *plink* *plink* *plink* of baby bullets wouldn’t be enough to kill someone, but as long as we kept the bullets coming our victims’ reticules were so far out that they had no chance of actually hurting us. They would point their P90s directly at us, fire, and miss every shot. Meanwhile, we would casually trace a staccato of MP5 fire from our victim’s belly to their neck, finally killing them once our bullets scored a headshot. We called this ‘buttoning their coat’. This technique infuriated people. The best part was that it was completely legit.

No Fat Chicks
When I put up a cheesy 10 man server I always called it “No Fat Chicks”. Every couple hours we would get someone that took issue with the server name and our discrimination against ladies of girth. We always pointed out that we were not really against fat people, just fat chicks. If you were a fat guy you could stick around, but if you were a fat chick you’d better get the gently caress out.

If we were really lucky, our friend Scott would be on the server under the handle “Fat Bastard”. He was always the most vocal about the fat chick hate, and he would freely admit to being a 550 pound shut in that was too large to make it through his own bedroom door. Both me and Neil were very supportive of Scott’s hyper obesity and threatened everyone that dared to give him poo poo for being hugely overweight.

Of course, in real life Scott was the lightest of the three of us, weighing in at around 150 lbs. He just chose the handle because he liked Austin Powers.

Hey, it worked for Knoxville.

I remember a pictionary-esque game on one of those flash websites...I think it was called "Inklink", where up to eight players would take turns receiving a secret word, illustrating it, and trying to get somebody to guess it as quickly as possible. The motivation was that the faster the correct answer was made, the more points the artist and the guesser would get.

I used to go into these rooms with a friend (or two), pretending to not know each other. One of us would receive a word, say, "Island." They would then proceed to draw something like a very, very detailed and elaborate cat. Then one of us would shout, "island!"

Sometimes we would guess the correct word before we even started drawing the picture. It's shocking how many people didn't catch on, though.

It produced incredible amounts of rage from every other player. They'd give me death threats, accuse me of cheating, the works.

I've never seen it written so neatly

I love playing detective in TTT. First I pick someone randomly out of the crowd of people (who has voice chat), then follow these steps:

Step 1: Demand they drop both their weapons.
Step 2: Tell them to face the wall/corner.
Step 3: Tell them to crouch down.

Now about 95% of the time they'll follow these 3 steps easily, sometimes with a bit of complaint. It's usually pretty weak "hey this isn't fair I didn't do anything" type stuff.

Step 4: Say "Any last words?"

Of course they start screaming like hell until you shoot them in the head. By this point most of the people in the server are listening and wondering what the hell happened.

Step 5: Check the corpse. If it was actually a traitor, say something like "You guys may not agree with my methods but I get results dammit!" If it was an innocent my phrase of choice is "Well, you have to break a couple eggs to make an omelette."
