How to Deal With Friendlies Most Efficiently
Hello,
my dear TF2 community!

I created this very simple mini-guide to help you to deal with friendlies on non-friendly servers (VALVe/certain community ones, so I persynally think where they shouldn't be).

I highly discourage anyone to be using these strats on friendly community servers, it's their places, okay?

Great!

This guide is for anti-friendly players, not for the opposite party.
It's made to assist them.

Now let's begin!


You may want to start a votekick on your friendly with a different reason stated beforehand and then keep typing/saying “F1 F1 F1 F1” until the vote is over, and ask the enemy team to votekick the enemy friendly for a different valid case of disrupting the game.

They are friendlies/griefers” reasons almost never work.
Reminder that you are able to call votekicks in case someone is *cheating*.

Perhaps there would be an opportunity for you to accuse the friendlies of *killing other friendly "players"* so their team votes them out.

When you kill the enemy friendlies and you feel like your "teammates" are about to intialize the votekicking procedure you need to be faster to call a votekick on your friendly sympathizer.

Piece of advice.
You're, likely, still going to be votekicked, but hey, you took a griefer with you.

You could disguise as your "teammate" friendly to strike the members of the enemy team down if they fall for your act.

You could also try killing the enemy friendly + taunting afterwards over and over again until they are no longer a friendly, if it's safe to do on the server. By "safe" I mean there is no chance people would votekick you for simply playing the shooter game as intended.

This is the concept,
the rest is your imagination.


if you face a greater amount of friendlies than actual players, which is absurdly common, there is not much room to handle the matter properly, sadly…

But there’s one, kinda meh, solution to avoid being votekicked by friendlies.
The fix is to queue in a party, preferably of six.

Autobalance can get in the way though.
And this might be too complex…


I humbly and subjectively think you should always try to impel friendlies to play the game by any (standard) means. Use every opportunity you have, never give up aiming to free non-friendly servers like official VALVe ones and non-friendly community servers from friendlies.

Ignoring friendlies is not an option, they literally "multiply" (invoke the others to become a friendly) if you do, and they are way worse than any of the cheaters in so many ways, because, for example, they are normalized and harder to kick.

It’s a shooter, not a tea party.

I persynally believe you’re part of the problem by not attacking them in a PvP setting and acting like they are a non-issue, the choice is still yours ofc-y, but please keep that in mind.

Friendlies on the enemy team: Feel free to shoot them but keep playing the objective and win. maybe they'll realize they need to get rid of their own friendlies because they're losing.
Friendlies on your team: kick them mercilessly. They're not contributing to the objective. Worse than bots.

this is just sad
this is just sad
I agree, being a friendly on non-friendly servers (VALVe + certain community ones) ruining the game for everyone is pretty selfish and sad.

I agree, let's shut off those damned friendlies.

To keep everyone safe from black aura, for the good of actual players that are oppressed the most.
