Got kicked from a 2fort match for trying to cap

[Radial]

so i join a server and i instantly hear people saying to not cap. thing is, i was stuck on a contract for 2fort, so i knew i would be there for a while. i head down into red intel, someone starts a vote to kick me, presumably for trying to cap. and.. the vote succeeded.

anyone mind telling me where people got the idea of not capping the intel in ctf?

some dumb youtuber id guess

Yeah it happens.
It began when 2fort was pretty much endless since no one caps. And people enjoy the game when nothing is capped.

they should add a timer to ctf tbh

that's how 2fort works

'people don't cap on ctf/plr' etc was originally a joke about how badly the maps stalemate, and how it was impossible to finish a game when people were actually playing
the joke got repeated and regurgitated until it lost the original meaning, and now people say 'people don't cap on 2fort/hightower' without a shred of irony

due to second/third wave tf2 youtubers popularizing the concept of glorified idling in pubs, it's much easier to cap on these maps when there's a bunch of people mashing g in a corner somewhere, so the old people-playing-the-objective thing that blocked out caps isn't there to prevent them, and the idlers then take it upon themselves to try and kick people to prevent a round end

the round end thing itsself is a carryover from old valve servers where round end typically meant a map change, with the current map being unavailable to vote for

overall, it's a bunch of morons memeing around concepts that formed long before they started playing for no reason other than 'other people do this, i'm going to do it too'

Players don't cap because it wastes literally less than a minute of their fun

That is how the Capture point games work.

Just do what I did and go in with a party of six. With six people in your party and on you're team you'll effectively control 50% of the teams votes, making you unkickable.

true.

2Fort is one of the worst maps in TF2, so it makes sense to not cap/do anything of value.

Reason why votekick in groups needs to be changed

I wouldn’t have to abuse this if they wouldn’t abuse the vote kick system in the first place. So in these situations it’s fair game.
