How to be a better Llama

I still remember the first time that I ever acted like a llama. I was playing hunted on the server "JEC escort assassination", which is now "JEC warzone". I would either be a medic or a soldier and use my rockets/concs to "herd" the prez into the open to give the snipers a clear shot at him.
When I played as an assassin I would use my Ass Rapage technique to send my teammates flying off the roof. Damn it was fun.

LMAO Killer, I was playing a game of crossover2 about a week ago on TV3 and ran across a llama demoman on my team who would launch pipes at people but soon he became more interested in launching pipes at the SG one of our Engys had in place.

Well, I was tired of that so I decided an admin_slay was in order. Notice the nice pinkish/redish dots floating away that formerly were a llama.

Here is another thing I got from being pyro one night.
I was pyro I would be in the middle of rosting a HW and then your team pyro just runs in and gets in front of your flams.
By the time you catch on you are dead from mirro damage if it is on. So I started to be a Llamma pyro I was throwing flams in my teams face and they could not see. So they kept ended up dieing from the other team cuz they can not see.
and shoting the rockets in front of your team mate so that they are aways looking at your rocket wondering this "Is that my team's rocket or is that my enemy's rocket?" I was doing that alot in front of my teams sniper and all he did was die die die.

He was never able to get a bullet on somebody with these flames and rockets flying in front of his face.
I helped my team alot on dieing but not on deffesne.

The only thing that they were caplbe pf doing was dieing not killing because of me the highst score on my team was 10 and on the other team the highst score was 120. They were very mad at me when they were able to get back to killing.
They all went demoman and soldier and launced me around like I did you them. well that is all I have to say about be a big mean bully pyro! Have some happy Llamme times as all the classes!

Dueling flames is not THAT bad. The mirror damage is low enough, and the benifits good enough to still do it. Me and Tarzan where both pyros a couple of times and we where doing fine attacking the same targets (double flaming, as I call it).
The real way to be a llama to a pyro is to SIT in their freaking nalpalm grenades. I just love to throw a bunch, die and then when I respawn, imediatly start taking mirror damage from the nalpalm. And HW guys, feel free to park square in the middle of one and then start to fire and SLOWLY walk off... love that... a lot.
I have never tried this, but I THINK I have seen it before. All you pro llamas out there tell me whats up. But I believe, you can set a demo pack to explode in the defenses area, and switch teams, killing the defense. I have seen someone do it in 2Fort, not sure if it works anymore.

Time for my third installment in my llama guide: the soldier. I won't stop dishing these guides out until I give you guys everyone of my llamaism tactics. It's gonna take a loooooong time

CHAPTER 3: THE SOLDIER
The soldier is another good class to choose when you want to piss off a teammate. Like the demoman, the Soldier has a lot of explosive power, but it still cannot match the annoyingness of some other classes.

ROCKETS
The soldier’s rockets are a lot more accurate than a demoman’s gl grenades, unfortunately rockets are very slow moving, and are easy to dodge, that doesn’t mean that you can’t have fun with them though. Find a demoman who is about to place a detpack, or find an engineer that is about to build an sg and knock them around before they get the chance to. Just like the demoman’s pipebombs use your rockets to keep a teammate from capping the flag, watch out though your rocket launcher can only hold 4 rockets at a time, so reload often. When you want to knock a teammate around aim for the feet. Always. If you hit their upper body they will not get any air. It is possible to kill your teammate by knocking him around enough, if you can rocket jump your teammate enough time, and he gets enough air he can die from too much fall damage.

GRENADE + ROCKET COMBO *Warning Requires Skill*
To pull off a grenade + rocket combo you must fire a rocket at your teammate's feet and throw a grenade at him. You must time the grenade so that it explodes right under his feet while he is at the height of his jump.

HOW TO PISS OFF A SOLDIER
Soldiers love to rocket jump. It allows them to get to very high places quickly and easily at the cost of some health. Disrupt their rocket jumps. One time when I was playing cz2 a friendly soldier was going to rocket jump to one of the cap points, that was the last cap point that we needed to win. The first thought that came to my mind was “now how do I piss him off?” So I whipped out my sniper rifle charged it up and the second he started his jump I let go of the trigger and sent him somewhere he did not want to be. On top of an enemy sg. Because of my actions we lost that round and inevitably lost the game. Another good way to piss off a soldier is by getting in front of their rockets. That’s all I can think of right now.

Coming up next: I'm Fat, I'm gay and I take no skill to play!

The Fastest way to get your whole team pissed off is to go up front and get yourself infected from an enemy Med. Then run back to your base as fast as you can (tagging fellow players along the way) and then camping in respawn (in 2fort - right in doorway) make sure you grab some health and bags to keep yourself alive as long as possible. Your teams only hope is that some else changes to medic and actually heals you!

Sadly, I seen this happen in a game and the chat was pretty angry. Poor llama was so confused he didn't know what to do.

Chum? never heard it called that before...anyways heres some more tips to piss of ppl.

CHAPTER 5: THE MEDIC
Valve made the medic to be a heroic player, healing the sick, helping the wounded, running the flag. But then again, what the hell does valve know?

NOT HEALING YOUR TEAMMATES TACTIC
Infected soldier: Medic!
Medic: *whistling*
Infected soldier: MEDIC YOU IDIOT HEAL ME
Medic: *does a little dance around the soldier*
Infected soldier: *shoots rocket at med* HEAL ME YOU DUMASS!
Medic: screw off biatch!
(anonymous_med has killed infected_soldier with infection)
My favorite tactic! The most fun thing to do is prime a conc, run towards the solly with the medkit out and pretend that your gonna heal him, and before you reach him release the conc and watch him fly! Another fun thing to do is dance around his slowly dying body with your medkit out, but never heal him

CONCING ASSHOLE TACTIC
The title says it all, conc anyone who passes by (unless he is an nme) It’s especially fun and rewarding to conc a soldier or any other class into the sg that he was about to kill

. Another good time to conc a teammate is when an engy is about to start building his sg. Before he can lay down the base of the sg conc him as far away as you possibly can.

RESPAWN CAMPING LLAMA TACTIC
Get into the enemy respawn and infect it, or if there is a barrier that blocks your way into the respawn, stand outside and infect ppl as they leave.

HOW TO PISS OFF A MEDIC
There are no class specific ways to piss of a medic other than keep him from healing/infecting teammates/nmes.

No ways to piss off medics??? Of course there are. Just when he is about to conc jump, send him flying with your rocket, or sniper rifle so that he will end up somewhere else. Maybe on top of an enemy SG?

never thought of that...I can't believe that I never thought of that, I thought of disrupting scout conc jumps, rjs pipejumps but never thought of screwing up a meds conc. I feel so stupid. How could I have failed my llama brothers like this???????

Ha ha ha, ALL YOUR PYROS ARE BELONG TO US! Flames are the llamas best friend. Especially when your target tries to run away backwards shooting at you. They're blinded by the fire.
Ways to piss off a medic:
1. Call for a medic and when he gets to you, run away calling for a medic the whole time.
2. If an enemy medic is healing his team, follow him around and infect everyone he just healed.
3. Try to infect him, it doesn't do much damage, but it's really annoying for him to deal with. But if he pulls his shotty...
4. If all else fails, knock him around with nades and rockets.
5. Scouts and enemy medics, a medic loves it when you conc them to some random place and open up with your shotgun or nailgun.

How to piss of the spammers: Go into that little terrace near CP2 on Avanti and stand there. Watch as frustrated demomen splatter themselves throwing mirvs and gl's up. Works even better with a soldier, who dies faster

. You forgot the moster of all llama activities, when an engy is building a sg, stand on it as it is being built. If the sg dies and you're in it here, they're toast
