No surprise there.

I found this.
[quote]Through the automated signup process, Pinion places it’s advertising mechanism within your Message of the Day or MOTD. Each time a player loads the MOTD, we will attempt to show them a video advertisement. You are then paid up to US$2.00 per thousand impressions (CPM). As a bonus, we purchase 100% of your valid impressions regardless of whether or not there was an advertisement available.
Pinion's model will ensure you have a consistent income year round, even during the typically quieter times of the year for advertising. We may not be able to sell any advertising to someone joining your server but you are still paid for their impression!
All advertising campaigns are for known, reputable brands (see Look and Feel). Rest assured there will be nothing unsuitable advertised to your players.
At the end of the month you are advised how many impressions your servers delivered and how much income was generated. You are then paid directly into your paypal account within 60 days.[/quote]

"Up to" $2 per thousand impressions?
Oh, it's a fancy way of saying "Clicks" :v:

I got Don't Starve because of the TF2 items on the only known basis that the game itself looked cool.

This game is fucking amazing. I can become a bush and nothing can stop me except starvation.

[sp]I actually love the Wilson Weave and Ham Shank but this game is so amazing I'm glad I bought it for the TF2 items.[/sp]

Why

I mean it's a good game but just

[I]​why[/I]

[Ermac20]

I didn't know Duke Nukem was the narrator

The Oculus Rift is 300$
Traders, them, will buy it just for the hat, of course.

[The Lone Spy]

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;39976953]Why[/QUOTE]

Let's face it, the best way to make a game to be knew is making a TF2 promo, do that and your sells will raise instantly.

[Mentlegen]

[QUOTE=mattmanlex;39976953]Why[/QUOTE]

If it's cheap and looks interesting then I'll see if I can buy it and get the TF2 items to boot.

I don't have anything else I want or need to buy right now and I'll still be playing TF2 once I get bored of the game eventually.

What would be the highest effect Batter's Helmet I could get for my Soldier's Slope Scopers #2? I'm thinking about an Orbiting Fire Batter's Helmet. Either that or a Cosa Nostra Cap.

Unusual Orbiting Flying Gibs Batter's Helm, obviously.

Speaking of unusuals, my dream unusual is an NnB Frenchman's Beret
[sp]Yup, thats right, my favorite effect is NnB[/sp]

The effect works well on some hats. I love it on Attendant.

[QUOTE=Ermac20;39976816]I have wondered this too, how much does pinion pay its servers?[/QUOTE]

Not much, actually. It isn't worth at all losing a part of your playerbase, even if the server is on harder times, as a friend who runs a server showed it is certainly not worth all the bother.

[QUOTE] Oh, and other things after reading their agreement...

•Once I agree to this, I would be bound to display these advertisements for 12 months, with no option of stopping.
•If less than 5 people per 1000 who watch the advertisement click it, Pinion can choose to terminate the agreement.
•If I change how advertisements are displayed AT ALL, Pinion can choose to terminate the agreement.
•If, on average, a person doesn't view at least 60% of the ad when it appears, I don't get paid anything at all. From there to 85%, it scales up to $1.50 per 1000 views. At 85% and above, I would get paid $2.00 per 1000 views. (Because of this, Pinion has made a server plugin that gives me the option of forcing you to watch just so we can get to the 85% mark.)
•Pinion has the right to collect information about you.
•I may not even be able to legally enter such an agreement, and I'll probably have to pay taxes for what's earned.

Alright, would there be any other advertising groups that deal with TF2, just out of curiosity?

[mattmanlex]

Oh man that is hilarious

I got the strangest bug. A spy was sapping my sentry nest and I'm assuming the giant manmelter fire particles were replacing the normal sparks from the sapper and I couldn't see shit. It just looked like a giant fireball.

I was unfortunately confused enough to not get a screenshot. Any clue what happened?

You can't paint it?

[HyperTails]

[QUOTE=Zeb Brown;39978489]You can't paint it?[/QUOTE]

No you cannot.

It has vmt's setup for painting, but they're currently not enabled.
