I actually only ever use the flare gun to annoy snipers. As for the pyro thing, I can handle one or two spycheckers. Most pyros I've seen follow a familiar path with spy checking or just hang out with the sentry. It's just a matter of following that path when they're further ahead on it, or just avoiding the path all together. Also pyros are less likely to spycheck other pyros for some reason... I guess they assume spys aren't stupid enough to disguise as something that normally doesn't catch fire (a spycheck is a spycheck, so that actually doesn't matter!) They're also not as likely to check their own spys. I mean really, who would just disguise as an enemy spy? *cough cough* Anyway if anyone wants to play or try and take on mez, let me know!
