My guess Engie-tan went AFK and left a paperweight on her mouse.

@Lightning Lad see the first comic (http://nerfnow.com/comic/4) and compare it to the current one. See the difference?

[url=#user_comment_24193]@Regal[/url]: Except that their team is made entirely of server regulars, all of which have proven to be quite capable. In addition, they managed to take out the entire enemy team before falling themselves. Really, it's more Engie being an idiot then pessimistic.

Once your engies start building on the final point as soon as the round starts, you've already lost. !nextmap

On 5 point cap maps, I think best engineer tactics revolve around level 1 sentry and teleporters, and shot gun. You need to keep moving up, and that means not sitting around a gun wacking it... but you can still drop it in good spots to cover your back. Teleporters on maps all about speed? GOOD.

Silly Engie. She needs to try out some fungineering; if she had built a Lv. 1 at mid rather than a Lv. 3 at the last point, then she could have capped and her team would have gotten an awesome forward spawn. For shame, Engie, for shame.

We've secretly replaced Engie-tan with a bot. Let's see if anyone notices.

Combat Engineer. Set up tele's and sentry.

Even a level 1 sentry in an ambush spot can kill a weakened enemy.

[url=#user_comment_24183]@Namos[/url]: Engie boredom problem? That's an issue with the player, not the class. You do things other than stand around next to your sentry. If nothing else, you can guard a different entry point and keep an eye on your sentry's ammo bar.

So is the pessimism of the engie, who does not believe in her team, or Jo's, who doesn't believe Valve are ever going to fix the engie boredom problem?

[url=#user_comment_24139]@codfish[/url] Basically, this series was about (minor-) Epic Fails. Except for that Valentine's Day tsundere omake. Still, nothing compares to the TF Babies arc. That was dawwwwwww-inducing.

This is a self-fulfilling prophecy btw.

If RED did not have a Spycrab on its team, then the lack of one BLU member at the fight in a game as even as this one is, would cause RED to roll BLU. Luckily, fail engie is as effective as a Spycrab, so everything is still equal.
Discrider

So instead of pushing and helping the fight at center, or preparing to fall back to the second last point, this engie regards her team-mates as retards who she expects to lose both the center and the second last point in quick succession.

Hence pessimism

Fail robot engie -_-

Engie is camping the first point. In a linear 5-cap map (which this is as indicated by the greyed out center point the teams are trying to cap), until someone caps the middle point, everyone spawns at the last point; the end points.

This Engie has setup there

This comic is showing a camping engineer, sitting like a Goalie at the end of the map. Not building a teleporter for his team.

It could be showing the basic to-and-fro of each battle. All the medics kill each other, most of the classes destroy each other in the main rush and anyone who attempts to cap/defend the point kills themselves. They respawn, and the whole cycle starts up again.

Who is the real machine, the sentry, or the engineer? More engineers need to learn that they have a shotgun and pistol.
