No you can't have Bill's hat!
No you can't have Bill's hat!
So after a long and somewhat annoying holiday season with the family I am finally able to sit down and have some peace "Or so I thought" during the steam gift pack shenanigans and getting the achievements for the fun of it. I had to do one for Team Fortress 2, Last time I played this game was back before the damn hats and crap was even around. after getting the achievements I realized just how much I missed TF2 and have been started playing it again and enjoying it a lot, Except for one extremely annoying part, the trade invites.
I have whats called "Bill's Hat" a hat I received back when I pre-ordered Left 4 Dead 2 back in 2009 and apparently it worth a lot to a lot of people. So much so that I get trade invites while playing every 20 seconds. The best part is I could give a rats ass about the hat but it rather hilarious watching people scream and cry over how much they want it. Hell I even denied trades for free games just because it hilarious to watch how they fidget in chat when I flat out say NO. I am getting far more enjoyment from the hat in regards to watching people cry over not having it then the actual hat itself :P
I figured this was worth while to share with my fellow BTW members. Anyone else playing TF2 and want to play? and NO, you cant have Bill's Hat :)

Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
I'll give you the feature of your choice in BTW for Bill's hat :)
Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
A tantalizing offer indeed. But I must reject said offer even if I am positive you would look fabulous in the hat wearing a gimp suit :)FlowerChild wrote:I'll give you the feature of your choice in BTW for Bill's hat :)
lol the last offer made to me was some guy claiming that he could get me access to website to get free TV shows.It's really sad seeing what people are willing to trade for a FAKE hat.

Challenge Accepted.
I will squiggle in your direction for a digital hat in a game I do not even play. :)

Damn it! You spoiled my punch-line with your refusal. You were supposed to respond with some outlandish feature request, to which I would have responded:kregoth wrote: A tantalizing offer indeed.

No, no, you misunderstood. What's your favorite BTW feature? Give me the hat or it's gone.
Stay on script man! :)
Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
"Facepalm" oh boy the hate I would receive if I where to refuse that offer. an evil FlowerChild indeed, willing to sacrifice his own hard work to get a hat I am ashamed my good sir, ASHAMED! :PFlowerChild wrote:Damn it!

I would have to retaliate and say the hopper is my favorite and thus shall be removed to see how you would wither in pain of having to remove you own favorite feature :P then ask the community who is more evil the man who won't give you the virtual hat, or the man who is willing to sacrifice his own mod to gain it. :)

Ah, but you forget the fact that I revel in being the man that everyone loves to hate ;)kregoth wrote:I would have to retaliate and say the hopper is my favorite and thus shall be removed to see how you would wither in pain of having to remove you own favorite feature :P then ask the community who is more evil the man who won't give you the virtual hat, or the man who is willing to sacrifice his own mod to gain it. :)
Besides, I'm not one for hats or other fluff in games. I just saw a beautiful setup for a gag that you failed to hold up your end of. Please be more predictable next time ;)

Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
I gave my Bill's hat away for a dota2 invite. I offered the guys a glowing heavy football helmet, he wanted Bill's hat.
Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
...Man, if Bill's hat is that valuable, maybe i should get rid of mine. I dont even play TF2 anymore...
Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
Ya I hate the whole hate thing in TF2, until I discovered a way to make people squirm for them "Laughs maliciously" And I am anything but predictable, I am even capable of being unable to predict myself :) And I didn't forget how you love to revel in making people scream over at MCF.FlowerChild wrote:Ah, but you forget the fact that I revel in being the man that everyone loves to hate ;)kregoth wrote:I would have to retaliate and say the hopper is my favorite and thus shall be removed to see how you would wither in pain of having to remove you own favorite feature :P then ask the community who is more evil the man who won't give you the virtual hat, or the man who is willing to sacrifice his own mod to gain it. :)

If it actually has value, i'd like to garner that for myself, being a rather poor bastard otherwise, heh.kregoth wrote: give it to me that way when people go "BUT you have two of them" I can then say "I know isn't it awesome? And no you can't have them!"
Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!

Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
Hah. I still play tf2 quite a bit, but can't stand the hat obsession. I've traded valuable hats for a few weapons I don't have, and just let the people flip out. :D
Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
ya I saw you playing after I got added to the steam group was trying to get onto your server, but the download for whatever map you where playing (some Mario kart thing?) was taking ages, so I gave up on it haha :PBinoAl wrote:Hah.

Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
What can even be slightly more fun, is going to some of those trading servers, with a friend, and trading things every so often back and forth for free (ie I trade Bills hat for nothing to him after declining everyone else wanting it) then later we swap back, go back and do it again...
The screams of anguish are a great highlight of the day :)

Re: No you can't have Bill's hat!
Well, what did you expect from a world famous premiere hat collection simulator?
To be honest, though, I doubt I'd even wear it. I can't think of a single character that would look good in Bill's hat. I actually do care about my aesthetics, rather than flaunting my collection of rarity and value.
