I’ve seen a lot of tips on how to be a spy, sniper, hwguy, but I noticed that there are no tips on how to be a better llama. Being a former llama myself and being a veteran at llamaism(is that even a word?) I decided to give some tips on how to be a better llama. I will add some more tips later.

Classes:
Each class has it’s own strengths and weaknesses when it comes to llamaism. Here are some tactics that I have learned over the years that you can use to your advantage to annoy, confuse and generally piss off the other players

Sniper
The sniper is my personal favorite class when it comes to being a total pain in the ass with your teammates. Here are some tactics to use when you play as a sniper

Shot Rides: The Simple Shot Ride
The simple shot ride is the most basic of the shot ride tactics. It involves charging up your sniper rifle and firing at your teammate, nuff said. The simple shot ride makes it possible to propel your teammate at incredibly high speeds over a great distance.

Shot Rides: The Ass Rapage
The ass rapage is a more advanced shot ride that my friends and I invented. To successfully perform an ass rapage you must charge your rifle for about 3-4 seconds and fire it at your teammate at an angle so that the bullet enters the body at the anus and exits the body somewhere around the ribcage. You must be crouching right behind your teammate to pull this trick off. The ass rapage not only propels the victim at high speeds over a great distance, but it will send the victim incredibly high up into the air.

Shot Rides: The Pineapple Ass Rapage **warning: requires a lot of skill**
Yes you read right, this tactic requires an incredible amount of skill to pull off. The idea behind the pineapple ass rapage is that you charge up your sniper rifle, place a nade at a teamate’s feet, (it helps if they are standing still) wait for the grenade to explode, when the grenade explodes wait for the victim to reach the climax of his flight and shoot him (preferably up the ass) with the sniper rifle.

Note: All shot rides require the sniper rifle to be fully charged to work well.
Note: The result of the shot ride depends on what class the victim is, a scout will go flying, whereas a hwguy will hardly move.
Note: Do not attempt to perform a shot ride in a server that has mirror damage (I learned that the hard way when I came to the ville)

How to piss off a sniper
There are a couple ways to piss off a friendly sniper, you can get into his line of fire, knock him around with grenades, beat him with your crowbar trust me, it can be incredibly annoying and distracting to have some retard hitting you with his melee weapon for 10 minutes.

Well that’s all for my sniper guide I’m sure there are more tactics to use, but I can’t remember them. Next class I will post will be either demoman or soldier

DOH! Too bad mirror damage is on at The Ville. I have often wondered if a "Shot Ride" could be used to a team's advantage. Say for example to propel a scout past SG's in warpath guarding a command point. Or even an ordinary shot ride done in conjuntion with a player jumping to receive the ride. Hmmmmmmmm!

Hmmmm...using a shot ride to a team's advantage, why didn't I ever think of that?

Without thinking too hard, here are three that I had in the same game last night:

TO ANNOY AN ENGINEER:

- If you are another Engie, build your SG directly in front of a teammate's SG.

- Any class: stand directly in front of a teammates SG. Do not move for anything. Watch teammate die painful mirror damage death.

- Any class on Avanti defense: Before the gates open, find the supply pack near a level 1 SG. Even though you are at full health, do not move for anything and do not discard ammo for anything. Snicker as Engie runs halfway across the map looking for another pack.

LMAO!

I think this is a great topic, since nearly all llamas never come to this board we will know that they will never come here and learn from these tips.

My favorite llama tactic is to be a sniper and just as the rolls change and your team goes on attack rush to the flag (as a sniper of course) then stay down in the respawn and snipe away. Your of course afraid to come out until your team has capped 2, so your going to be down there for awhile.

As for a shot ride its often referred to as a sniper launch. They are still effective at the ville but the sniper will die for doing it. I have often used it to put people somewhere quickly such as launching someone across the map and into the defenders upper deck on 2 fort, launching another sniper up on the towers in hunted (I'll show you this one some time, its great) or helping an engy to get above your base to build a SG.

Thom your an animal.
Don't forget running in front of HW's and getting them killed with mirror.
Or being a brand new Eng. that discovers he can give armour. He finds the nearest sniper and beats on him relentlessly.
Or standing in the doorway of the death room when everyones trying to get out cause a Hw or gernades are coming in the other door getting everyone killed.

Yes I have, and no that isnt the only thing i've been doing.
Time for the next installment in my llama guide: The demoman.

CHAPTER 2: The demoman, AKA crazy bastard with 200 pounds of explosives in his backpack
The Demoman’s explosive power makes it another very good class when it comes to pissing off your teammates, and your enemies.

PIPEBOMBS
Set pipe bombs in strategic areas. For example place 8 pipebombs around your capture point, if your teammate tries to cap the flag detonate them and send him as far away from the cap point as possible (trust me it’s friggin hilarious), make sure to reset your pipebombs immediately after you push the teammate away, chances are that he’s gonna try to cap again, use normal grenades and gl grenades to keep him at bay while you reset the pipebombs. Another good place to put pipebombs is right outside respawn, both your respawn and the enemy’s.

DETPACKS
Place detpacks in your team’s defense to disorient them. A great time to place a detpack is at the beginning in avanti, warpath or dustbowl while you wait for the gates to open. Make sure that the detpack explodes right BEFORE the gates open, or else you will most likely kill some your enemies and generally help your team. If you can put the detpack at a good angle and make it blow right before the gates open you can send all of your defense half way across the map and leave your enemies a nice clear stretch of land so that they can leisurely stroll in, cap the command point and have a quick smoke before going the next cp, this should piss your teammates off a lot.
Another “great” use for detpacks is blocking respawn doors. Although I think that they fixed this bug in the new patch. I’m not totally sure how to block the respawn doors tho, I never really mastered the demoman.

HOW TO PISS OFF A DEMOMAN
If you are playing on a server with mirror damage, step on top of a demoman’s pipebombs, detpacks, and grenades. It can be really funny watching a demoman place a pipebomb trap and die every time he detonates the pipebombs because a teammate is standing on them. Like most other classes, knocking demomen around with nades and weapons fire is a great way to piss them off

Like I said with my sniper guide, there are probably hundreds of other tactics to use with the demoman.
Coming up next: I am a one-man army; I am a soldier in the US marines…

Hey, I've found another great way to be a llama tonight. Go for all 29 weapons! Nothing says llama like running around beating on a HWGuy with a crowbar while your team is trying to cap. Or setting a detpack just any old place. Or caltrop spamming the middle of the field on Murderball.

Thanks The_Avenger I was worried that I was the only one. Stop posting these How to be a Llama, my sides are hurting to much from laughing, especially the last one about the Demoman. LMAO!

"LOL" Those are very funny ways to make people mad on your team but here is a why to make everyone on your team mad as a soldier. Well you first get your grenades stocked up and your rockets go on defense and blast everyone away that is setting up. Then the other team will be gratfull about you and they may consider you a Llamma. There you have it all I know about a soldier being a Llamma! Have some happy Llamms times!

How about when you play as Medic. Right when one of you team spies is about to put a knife in the back of an unsupecting HW you run right in between to infect the HW and cause the spy to die from mirror damage due to stabbing you instead of the HW.

Also when you are a team member is trying to fight or get a way you run up in front of them to heal them blocking their escape or causing mirror damage because their rocket or pipe bomb hit you instead of one of the oncoming enemies.

Since I have been playing spy alot later the first one has become a great annoyance with Medics and Pyro's who are just screwing around.

Llama flashback. One of the first times I ever played TFC I remember guarding the warden's office in Rock2. I saw an engie from my team run up behind a solider on my team and start to smack him with his spanner. Being the ultra Noob that I was, I immediately opened fire on the engie for attacking a fellow team mate. The engie ran for it (I beleive FF was on that server) and after a half map chase he gave me the slip. Needless to say I got some interesting chat stuff after he found a hiding place from me.
