For some reason over the weekend we got two new items. Not the players, not the admins, but the servers. Yes you heard me right. The servers. You must be wondering why servers get items too when they are of no use. Well, we were originally as perplexed as you probably are. Upon investigation we noticed they’re something different…

It turns out they aren’t practical items, nor can they exert any effects on the server. Rather, they are honors. We received these honors, as we found out later on, because we were perceived as a role model by one of our competitors and they are copying our friends’ and our server lineup, so brazenly and shamelessly.

As the saying goes, If you can’t innovate, imitate. Our competitor surely has taken this saying seriously. If you have ever tried photocopying a photocopy over and over, you will know the quality degrades over time, leading to the conclusion that copies are never as good as the original. So when you play Team Fortress 2, make sure you connect to the genuine servers, or you get a subpar experience instead.

We would like to thank the competitor in question especially for making this possible, and considering our friends’ and our lineup a success.
