First thing: You need to create an account before you can play. Go to http://www.tf2lobby.com , and make an account. You will be given a code to put in your steam profile somewhere. Leave it there.
Second thing: Pick a class you already know how to play. It really doesn't matter, but let's be honest your first time is never easy. AMIRITE?! But no really, it's not. At least this way you play semi decently and won't beat yourself up if you're bottom fragging.
Third thing: I'll be purchasing a mumble here pretty soon mainly for the CsN crowd. Whether it's for lobbies, b.sing, or planned stacks in the Slayboxes (heheheheh fh i kid i kid). As soon as I get that set up I will update this post with further information
Fourth thing: If I don't get you in the first match CALM DOWN it's okay shhhh it's okay there will be another one, and I'll get you in :3.
Fifth thing: This one is mostly important when actually in a game. This isn't like the slayboxes where you can go in balls deep and think about fucking the other team. Try and hold back a little, wait for your team, and getem when you have the advantage. That's the only thing I honestly get annoyed at. If you have 15 health get some health from the medic, don't stand there J/Oing on their point. That said, that's the only thing I'd say to do
Sixth thing: HAVE FUN! We don't care so much about skill, it's for utter amusement. I will be wanting to start up a team. As you see my ^nbd tag is actually the beginning of a very casual irc scrim team. Nothing really serious, but more than lobbies. So, I'll be looking towards that. And further in the future I'd like to get a team going to rep the CsN name. SO YEAH!
k....bai!
Edit: we good?
