Only really redneck one's I see are outhouse and gator wrastlin', and outhouse was already in a map with a desert theme so I think it seems pretty Valve to make one of the slightly less redneck props mentioned.

Also hate to say it, but yeah, the swamp is commonly associated with rednecks. It may be stereotypical, but this is TF2 we're talking about.

I do believe nature props have a higher priority than household objects though.

Only Pyro/Medics/Engineer can capture the center point. 'Cause they've got rubber gloves!

- Maybe the old washing tools of the metal bucket and the metal washing sheet? (the wavy one they rubbed the clothes on). I will elaborate if I need too.

- Fishing rods (old wood, chipping)

- Hook (not a fishing hook, a hook that you would attach to a chain and drag stuff around with a truck, many uses!)

- grimey muddy shovel (could you just make it a skin of the regular shovel?)

- Greasy grimey truck engine (maybe for a scene outside the map to look like someone was working on the truck)

- Bell (attaches to a wall or ceiling? Used to call the boy's in at supper )

- boat gibs! these would be awesome!

Thats all Ive got.

needs more of that silly character that makes TF2 fun. things like banjoes and the gator cutouts are great. more goofy redneck stuff, or more of the 'swamp horror' stuff that fits nicely with the old cold war era TF2 stuff. i looked around for a few images that might inspire, these are the sorts of things i'm thinking - some of them would be great ideas to base poster overlays on, too:

the skull on a stick here would be a great prop:

Bigger mushrooms would be nice!

A door that fits the theme. For a random house or something

E: Question, will it be allowed to use anything that gets made before 25th in the contest?

I've made a simple clipped version of my water which looks fine ingame and keeps the water out of my boats.

-A real alligator so it can be used as a environmental hazard like the trains and saws to instant kill.

-Weeds/Ferns

-Cat tails/Typha

-Moss?

-Perhaps rotten bridges or walkways?

One of those rusty-half broken street-light like things that you can set to flicker to increse the atmosphere.
