tss, pyros are everywhere, but they suck
i was playing on a server, 5 pyros vs 4 pyros and a spy (that's me)
i was at the top of the scoreboard

[Cervantes]

this thread's title made me giggle

also most pyros aren't smart enough to spy check given how everyone's a pyro now and seeing a pyro isn't very suspicious
plus no engineers to bitch to them about how they need to spy check
basically the advice for pyros should be "the second you see a backstab kill spy check everything including dispensers"

True Veer. But my theory is that the friendly fire servers give magical invisible x-ray seethrough spy disguise glasses that work only except when Dugan and other noteable spies play!

yup, when i play on non-FF server all the spies start to nag: "how the hell did you see trough my disguise??"
i couldn't walk trough him and the player that he took the name from was dead, so i shot him

[perryhussy]

yea i find the number one easiest way to tell if someone is a spy and im not a pyro is run into them....

full proof

Spies are pretty easy to spot out. Most of the time I can tell right away if someone is a spy or not. There are some people who know what to do really well (dugan, etc) that can make it look like they're not a spy, but most people are a little underexperienced.

[Cow]

Yeah sometimes when I am at work and some one asks me something I make them assure me they aren't Dugan. The bad part is like 42% of the time it is actually him.

:lurk:

[Cow]

oh god is this computer I'm on now actually you dugan

As a side note, this guide is entirely useless when you're facing against excellent spies.
They're goddamn heatseeking invisible knife missiles.

Disguises never work unless the other person is gullible.

[Twine]

Quite often you see people who look suspicious enough to check by shooting, and if their health is above half anyways (which it must be) it isn't usually a problem, especially as an engineer, or short bursts with a heavy, or... well, most classes have ways to shoot without doing much damage. I can't remember playing a game with Dugan as spy... It seems I'm lucky.

[scobywhru]

I don't like being medic against dugan as a spy unless I have decent spy checking pyros on my team

[Nic]

Just make sure the pyro is a well-known pyro player -- most pyros nowadays are more offensive and less "hmmmm this looks like a good spot/path for a spy".
