A Yuge Happy Birthday!

Hey guys, this website has been quiet for a while but... this server is still a thing! In the past four months we've added a variety of features and QoL changes to the server, and since before that time we've been moving the majority of server documentation from this website to the server itself and to our new Steam Group while this site took a backseat. To list some of the new stuff:

• We've added !cwx for weapon options and a handful of TF2C weapons ported to TF2 by us. So far, these total nine, such as Demoman Gunboats.
• A welcome message and commands for reading server info, like !reverts and !info, which are the most up to date places to check on server changes. Use !reverts to read everything about your class.
• We've added !bots with Touhou names for anyone joining during inactive hours.
• We've migrated to a new Steam Group with a flashy and informative look to attract more interested people, join it Here. We use the Steam group chat to alert people when we're playing like we used to in the past with the announcements feature before it was removed by Valve; join the group chat Here! This has been a new paradigm in organizing play.
• Soyjak dot party wrote about us on their wiki, our influence is genuinely insane.
• We added melee wall climbing for Huntsman users... so quirky.

Shit, this description is surprisingly corporate and looks nothing like what you'd expect.

Anyway, this new blogpost was brought on by the server turning 5 years old just a little while ago; that's insane, and we can finally be sure that the server will live past half a decade, but not to one decade. Traffic to Kogasatopia has been exploding recently (Do people love birthday hype that much?) and we'd like to take the time to reiterate that we now use steamcord unironically; it's kino! Using a Steam group chat to ping everyone when we start playing has given the server a lot of stability as it enters old age, and the most productive thing for us is to share it around. You can use the link below to join the Steam group chat itself or share it with any of your friends, the invite won't expire. Now that the Steam group is properly descriptive and helps anyone jump in, you can point friends there too.

Next up will be bringing this website up to snuff but... who cares about webdev?

NEW BLOGPOST

January 2nd, 2025 Due to popular demand 🥳

Happy Late Fourth!

July 7th, 2024 (Edited July 8th)

Utsuho here, there's a new update in the works. We've got a few things planned - new weapon buffs and an update to an old map I made called cp_chireiden.
We've been brainstorming a bit and this time we want to give YOU folks (yep, each one of you) a chance to vote for a weapon for us to give a bit of a buff. We've got a strawpoll up (https://strawpoll.com/05Zdz10OGn6) and we want to see which weapons you all would want to see upgraded. If you want to give any specific suggestions, post on the thread (https://bantculture.com/bant/res/41.html#bottom or just click 'Community') and we'll take a look.
In the mean time, we will be working on a few other weapon buffs - damage rampup over distance for the Bison, passive reload for all the syringe guns, and a dispenser range increase for the Southern Hospitality. Trust me, it'll be cray.
New map suggestions are also appreciated! Post 'em on the thread!
(SFM was made by horactix, my top guy.)

Is this thing on?

June 30th, 2024

Hello, Konatabruh here I’d like to give a formal greetings to the community on behalf of me and Utsuho.
Despite the pessimistic tone in Hombre’s parting message I and Utsuho both hold high expectations for the servers future and will be doing our best to maintain the atmosphere and quality that the server has built under our former masters tenure.
I don’t see this as us being given the server but rather I see this as Hombre giving the server to its community, and so I and Utsuho both want to try our best to be receptive to the community going forward. Please don’t be afraid to let either of us know how you are feeling about the server whether it be a social, technical or gameplay related issue. Additionally, the ban appeal email has been changed to one I control.
Finally, I asked Utsuho what else I should say in our first blog post as owners, and he wanted to let you all know that: “They’re chinchillas, not whales.” - This is huge, the only thing nearly as massive is the possibility of a new ofc map being added after this blogpost.

Just Married!

Hey guys, Bad Hombre here. There's been a change of management; I gave the server to Utsuho and Konatbruh (He's named Schraaplaaart right now), I just need to move the websites and then boom I'm out of the machine, my last day on the server was yesterday and a lot of things are different now (or back to before) like random crits and the Sandman being back... it's scary, I know! But there's a still lot left, the server might survive, haha~☆
I adore it here but it's been 4 years and a lot of labour so I'm gone for good now, the degree of infinity gets higher if the server doesn't exist so… faito~!! ☆ (I'm interested in alting or making an appearance after a few months but it's more likely that the server dies out all the way from here which makes me call it infinite hehe)
Nonetheless it'll be possible to catch a game here pretty often for a while still, try checking on the server at 4-5PM EST and if not there might be a wave around 9PM to the morning as Americans arrive home for work. Other than the game dying and the community being bored, apathy prevents the dream from working!
That means go play.

NEW KEYED MEME

May 26th, 2024 A new funny SFM meme just came out, and you're thinking it's a video but... it's not! And it's not actually SFM either, it was made in gmod! The important part is that it's extremely funny. You're like, 'wow, the community of this server can still do anything?' and I'm like 'shit, this meme is so funny to me because I'm good at this otaku thing and understand every last drop of the nuance'. Go look at it Here.

An updateroni?

The next thing you're thinking is 'What about that update thing below with the donald trump image I've seen spread to several places on Twitter?', that's actually been happening, it's just gradual because whatever the community can crank out such as mapping, art and programming take time. Nonetheless there have been sweeping changes to the server this spring with #BigDeal new maps like Eientei2 and Forest of Magic, and you guessed it, class limits and random crits being gone!

Wrongthink time!

Despite the wording we're not actually going mask off here - cracking down on f2ps and the sandman started up to 2 years ago. The community of this game is terrible which causes it to have political issues such as 'random crit nazis' versus 'the uncletopia troons', but in the current year that topic is nearly dead, most of the former side no longer play TF2 or have accepted much of what Uncletopia does is right. The good news is that only unloved classes like engi and heavy are limited and melee random crits are still active.

What's next?

Most people in the community only play on this server which makes the gameplay quality incredibly important to uphold, and it became further possible to correct issues as 4chan tf2 politics began to die out fully. What else's come out recently include a rewrite of chat that allows locally muted people to continue having their chat read, which brought needed relief to micspammers, and plugins which allow for extensions of gametimers or for objectives to be disabled, making koth gameplay often more smooth. Speaking of 'smooth' all sentries are now disabled on koth - it's smooth because hating engineer makes you attractive to the youkai girls.
To those ends we're working on a new scramble plugin ('ScrambWhale') that will only autobalance tourists, and a new cumulative leaderboard for stats (Seen Whaletracker? think bigger...) and maybe some cp_gravelpit_pro! Enjoy koth_candidfriend.

An update is probably coming!

Febuary 26th, 2024 That's it. That's the news. An update is coming... sometime soon... someday in the future...
You'll love this next part.

WOW, IT'S PEAK... + Small Event

January 17th, Koggy Admin Babe, wake up. After a huge delay, the newest Touhou Fortress installment finally came out; it's Aya! Anyone unaware of the new Touhou Fortress installments should head over to the mods page immediately, or click here for Aya's Gamebanana page. Using the No-Hats mod is recommended; someday, the Touhou hats from this server might be compatible with the new Touhou models instead.
Once all 9 classes are out we can finally kiss the western artstyle goodbye and inhabit eternal bliss forever, and that's probably the most important thing going on in TF2 at the moment.

Happy new year! + an experiment

Now that there's news, we're finally able to wish you a happy new year. Today (that's Wednesday Jan. 17th) we'll be performing a small experiment; the server will be reduced to the standard 24 player size, and the mapcycle will be trimmed down to the most iconic and replayable Kogasatopia maps fathomable. The aim is to create a more streamlined experience with minimal annoyances, and to see if it provides relief from the standard format. If well received, the event may recur each Wednesday... speaking of which, I've received word that as a punishment for these enlightened ideas, the server will be forced to provide Balloon Race this Sunday.
View the mapcycle plan here.

Updateroni!

Febuary 4th, 2024
Every Wednesday the mapcycle and playercount will be shaved down; The playercount limit becomes 28. The mapcycle link above will remain updated automatically.

[KOG]chads just won.

December 5th, Koggy Admin The Kogasa RGL team just won a gold Highlander trophy; IT'S FAT! Make sure to congradulate any comp gentlemen you see on the server and treat them like a higher class above everyone else. RGL's top caster refused to cover the match live and instead streamed the F2P sausage fest match for the Bronze trophy because success breeds controversy and Crooked Hillary had to suppress this information.
Note: the image above isn't actually of the comp team.

Christmas Banners are Needed!

'Tis the season. So far, Kogasatopia only has 3 Christmas MoTDs in it's rotation and that's a huge problem. We ask that interested readers create a 900 by 640 banner that is somewhat Christmas-Touhou related and submit them to the TF2 thread at the "Community" link on this page. Want to look at examples? Visit the motd directory Here.
Never seen an motd before? This is extremely bad; hit up cl_disablehtmlmotd 0.

Steel Trad Pro just dropped

"I'm Trad and I'm Pro."

WAOW! New Koishi Mod!

November 15th, Koggy Admin Babe, come take a look at this. It looks like someone lead Koishi into TF2 by offering her candy and now us TF2chads are eating good toni- HOLD THE FUCK UP. While writing this, Nitori Engineer dropped too. Let's install these new class replacements so that TF2 becomes badass and cool like Nico Nico Douga.
Both links are available on the mods page.

New Huge Nuke Just Dropped

September 26th, Koggy Admin Whoopsie doodle, there's been a mixup at the Kogasa factory! They made a map WAY TOO BIG! And they made Keiki a D-D-D-DEER? No one deserves a mixup that bad; that's why our scientists just figured out how to make pickups look normal while leaving Halloween cosmetics enabled, and that means you can finally install the Touhou Health & Pickups mod. Get it NOW.

Fanart page & Map Updates

"holy shit, it's finally a thing after how long?" - Someone actually said this when being sent the news. "wow that is... kino" - Dragon said that. As you can see the greyed out "artwork" button towards the top is no longer grey and you should go there now; It's basically a cisgender neurotypical Louvre that shows who we are and helps promote racial unity. Don't like toddlers and animals? LEAVE.
Submissions are open at the listed email which happened to replace mine, which is because I'm going into the hyperbolic time chamber and allowing the janitors to take over. Will our heroes survive this one?
These images are relevant because Dustbowl Pro and Lumberyard Pro just got an update along with the release of Koth_Brawl. Thanks go to our Tf2maps inside man, who I won't address by name because this site might be controversial and tf2maps is some kind of satan-worshipping cabal. Despite being a touhou friend I paid him 3 keys for his service so if you don't like the maps it's VERY BAD!
Dustbowl pro stage 2 no longer kills Blu players when they change classes.

What if the Soldier DOMINATED Touhou characters?

August 30th, Koggy Admin Wake up babe, one of our top guys just released an amazing impression of the Soldier; it's not featured here because one of our guys made it, it's here because it's THAT good - literally everyone is awestruck - and we need to raise awareness of this. It's so good that it's dumbfounding that one of our guys made it instead of scribbling gyates for the millionth time or something of the sort.

Happy Birthday Rika!

August 21st, Koggy Admin Boom.

Somehow, Banttf2 Returned

July 12th, Koggy Admin Due to a fire in a New York datacenter, many services have been rendered offline for the past few days, ironically including both Kogasatopia and that one other server. Services returned Wednesday evening, and the gyates have #BuiltBackBetter. The server has been full all evening like it usually is, thanks in part to the TF2 summer update, which our hivemind has decided sucks; more on that below.

TF2 Summer update: It's mid

Several hours before gyate.net returned, the much anticipated TF2 summer update flanally dropped; despite everyone's expectations being low, the update does indeed contain only maps and hats. Notably, cp_steel has been renovated and is now much more similar to cp_steel_pro, which is a downgrade due to the removal of iconic exploits and reducing the detail of several rooms for the sake of "visual clarity" (which is retarded because you can frag in a messy room if you're so great)
Additionally, Valve has added VSH to casual, and i'm being told that it includes new voice lines for every mercenary, which all sound terrible and like completely different characters. This is less relevant than cp_steel because it only concerns casual and none of us go there.
The cosmetics and koth_rotunda (update: we hate rotunda now) are pretty keyed though!
To #StopTheSteel, nominate cp_steel_trad.

Happy Birthday Kogasatopia!

June 26th, Koggy Admin Time flies dude! It's now been one year since the last day we played as a Sunday-only server and had our unexpected miracle of starting to play constantly. The update bonus page has finally released, because withholding it to have something awesome for the anniversary was a smart move.
May Trump is Christ, cp_dustbowl_pro, cp_product_pro, Touhou hats, the Mini-Hakkero and the Guinea Pig be well with us both in this life and in the pilgrimage of a thousand years which we have described.

The Trump Has Landed

June 10th, Koggy Admin Babe, wake the fuck up, the new banttf2 update just came out. The only twist is that like last time, new content comes out each day like an ACTUAL tf2 update instead of us blowing our load all at once.
The update page will be expanded daily until the 14th. Get ready for new hats, in-house maps like Bantwater-style Upward and Dustbowl, and obscure changes that are barely worth listing but will make a big difference for your quality of life in the Koggy.

Miscellaneous News

May 26th, Koggy Admin https://youtu.be/RJzeGHARXL
Holy smokio! ('holy smokio will not be tolerated' t. smokio) A new tf2tuber video just came out; but this time, it was filmed on Koggy, by Koggy, for Koggies. Like it or not, if this video gets tons of views and likes, it means we're winning. That means upvote it and share it with your friends A.S.A.P., because everyone knows that TF2 is much more popular on tiktok and youtube than the actual game is. Play TF2 all day like a loser? Chances are, you show up in this video.

Twitter just dropped

Noticed that the Twitter icon on the site is different now? I sure did. That's because Kogasatopia now has a Twitter page, which will tweet important photos and make snarky replies to people who get banned and complain. This was motivated by the unfortunate reality that everyone here is only here because of the astronomically small chance that they ran into Koggy, which is a bit sad to think about. With some luck, this traditional form of publicity will let people who would otherwise love to be playing here actually know that the server exists.

Zesty just linked up with banttf2

Due to being harassed about 'Gasa on his streams and Twitter, Zesty checked the Kog out. Initially he was not noticed or cared about, despite someone confirming that it was the real deal, but he eventually became topical, and began answering people's questions. Despite being owned and streamsniped by banttf2 gamers in the past he's actually a pretty down to earth guy, and has since visited the server several times. More importantly, he tweeted a picture of a saucy Touhou spray from the server, along with the words 'Remember what they took from you'. This confirms that banttf2 is trad.

dom_hydro_b4; New gem?

May 5th, Koggy Admin "WHAT IF HYDRO WERE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND HAD A QUIRKY NEW VERSION?", a question that TF2 redditors ask all the time. However, it looks like Kogasa's top engineers have cracked the code, and have finally made Hydro into an awesome map that TF2 gamers can play all day.
This map makes every area of Hydro available - barring Blu and Red's final bases from the original - and is focused on holding points for as long as possible, like KoTH but with 4 caps instead. The more capture points your team owns, the faster the clock will tick down. Additionally, capturing a point allows your team to resupply and spawn in the nearby base, and holding all four at once wins the round for your team, because your enemies won't have a base anymore.
This awesome gimmick has probably never been done before, which means we are inventors and scientists.
NOTE: the hydro yukkuri are not real

Attention, Yukari Whalers!

April 13th, Koggy Admin Happy Passover! The new Kogasatopia website just dropped; it's like Teamfortress.com but more Kogasatopia oriented... we even have a blog now. Everything related to the server will now be featured here.
The last few Kogasatopia seasonal updates have been focused on weapon changes, but this time we have few; that's because we'd run out if we blew our load right now. Instead, along with some new features like being able to nominate workshop maps by name, we've added the Versus Saxton Hale gamemode to the server for the first time, which became possible with Vscript on March 17th.
Read more about Vscript VSH here...

New mods page just dropped

Babe, what if there were Kogasatopia .vpk files that would make the TF2 world subtly more Touhou related? They actually exist; we just haven't had a place to list all of them until now. Each one has been carefully selected by how faithfully it fits TF2's artstyle since Kogasatopia occasionally cares about quality control.
Pictured is our important new mod that replaces most of TF2's signs and decals with Kogasatopia related ones, and it changes the ambulance and Dispenser textures slightly too. Other important vpk files include a Marisa hat that replaces the Ghostly Gibus and sexy Touhou calendars, which are soulful because they match the original poses of the TF2 calendars.
Visit the VPK list here.
