The Pyro's Manifesto

 I am the Pyro,  I am the ambusher of the team. First and foremost, I shall never attack a enemy head on. I will attack his rear or flanks.

 I am the master of close range combat, my foes pray that I don't get the drop on them.

 Many underestimate my power..let them, my flamethrower shall silence their arrogance.

 I am not a kamikaze class, those who treat me like one misunderstand my pourpose.

 I know where all the health packs are, and I horde them, only letting my allies who need them more take them

 I learn all maps quickly, even custom so I know every short cut and dead end to await of prey.

 I will fall in combat many times, and I will get back up again. Your only break from my wrath shall be my momentary leave as I respawn.

 My Flamethrower's power is in it's ability to do damage over time, setting my foes ablaze and running is as effective as burning them to death, as long as a medic, medpack or water is not near by.

 My shotgun is my mid-range weapon, it shall be as beloved of a tool as my flamethrower. I shall learn to aim and use it efficiently.

 I shall avoid open spaces, I will not be the target of snipers.

 I may have low health for a close combat class, but I shall fight you on MY terms. The shadows shall be my protection

 I am the best spy checker of my team. I will learn every spy checking tactic there is, and apply them along with use of my flame thrower. Only the most experienced and clever spies can avoid my wrath.

 The Solder is not my kryptonite, he is merely a opponent best equipped to fight me.

 The Engineer's Buildings are not a impenetrable fort, only a obstacle I will overcome with the aid of my allies

 I shall fight with my allies, the foe will be wary when they make a assault on my group, I shall protect their flanks and counter the ambush with my own.

 The Axe shall act as the assassins knife: Silent and Subtle. Those who turn their back to the shadows, they will find it's blade buried into his back.

 The Scout can out maneuver me, but he can never out power me. May his arrogance be his undoing as he runs into my ambush, I shall be like the police spike strip that stops speeders.

 The Heavy is a strong opponent, but I shall not fear his mini-gun, the circle-strafe shall be my tactic.

 The Demoman expects me to chase him, I shall not. To chase him is to fight on his terms, and I only fight upon mine.

 I shall retreat when outnumbered or prematurely spotted before I make my attack. Let them think I am running away..they will not be expecting my planned return. The amount of kills I gain shall never be priority to my own life.

 The Medic's abilty to put out my flames will be taken in account. When fighting groups, he is the highest priority target, he can stop my flames.

 If a enemy Pyro shall appear to challenge my dominance in the art of the flame. His suit shall not fully protect him from my wrath as I show him why I am the better Pyro.

I have as much of a right to be Ubered as a heavy or a solder is, yet I must know when it is the appropriate time.

I am more then a fire spitting maniac. I am clever, silent and calculating as the spy, and I am feared, powerful and intimidating as the Heavy.

Alone, I am dangerous. With my fellow brothers in the flame, we together become a weapon of fear and carnage.

I shall not be discouraged if I rank low on the scoreboard. My Subtle deeds aid the team more then people take credit for. It is better to have my deeds unsung then never to do them at all.

 I will avoid fighting close to water as much as I can. It will put out my flames. I shall only fight underwater with my shotgun if it is to protect myse

I shall taunt the spy, cloaked or uncloaked, I made go down in flames, even if his teammates are still shooting at me. 

I will not stop until the spy is forced to switch to another class. 

Yeah these are pretty bad .

Hey maybe I should make a wallpaper using this manifesto

A pyro is not a legitimate pyro unless he attempts to set fire to absolutely everything that moves anywhere near him, such as a Pyromaniac truly would. This is his compulsion transformed to a wonderfull duty: to set aflame anyone trying to fool his teammates.

Fellow teammates; do not be perturbed by a teammate pyro trying to set even you on fire: his flamethrower is merely a judge, the flames are a trial by fire, and if you pass that trial by truly being a team member, then you have nothing to fear. But woe betide a traitor in your midst!

Spys are clever, and proud, and arrogant. Right up until the very moment their elegantly crafted finery is set aflame!! Then they are revealed for the spaztic wimps that they truly are, when put to this ultimate test!

The Pyros close quarter aiming skill means far more than other classes' similar skills, becuase with the flames flying everywhere he cant see anything either, yet STILL has to keep the bead on you. When you realize that he takes that handicap willfully and nevertheless performs skillfully, then respect cannot be denied.

When pyro meets a randomly encountered teammate in an awkard position in the heat of battle, the honorific way to prove that you are not a spy is to send some flame flying.. as that is something even the best spy suits simply cannot manage!

A pyro can die happy and content, so long as everything around him is aflame as he falls.

Few realize the nature of the Flamethrowers nozzle: It is a pressurized stream of fuel that indeed sends flames out a respectable distance, yet its nature becomes even more brutal close in, as the spray is no longer a fanning spray, but a pressurized jet of ignited fuel.... pressurized, and focused... not unlike a giant blowtorch.

[I could go on and on, and I've only played TF2 for 2 weeks now! ]

Not the best but I lack Photoshop :-/

You shall not fear the water, for it is surprise. It is where they truly least expect an axe to the head.

I may not be a dude, but who the hell knows?

Glad to know people are intrested in my thread still

@Boywonder: that is my new background, cheers freind!
