fantastic

This is your answer here, although if (for example) Ts are ordered to go to big cage on Razor and there's some CTs camping the secret under big cage to deal with Ts who use the secret, that's fine since they're directly helping their team and preventing Ts from successfully rebelling. If CTs are doing secrets that have no correlation or relation to the orders Ts are given, that's probably against the rules. The key is as the rule says: "CTs must be actively enforcing orders or assisting their team". Good question @Kuri . EDIT: Changed thread title to "CTs not actively enforcing orders" to provide more description of the thread contents.

First off, thanks a ton to everyone for the congratulations . It's a huge honor to receive this award and I don't take it lightly. SG has carried me through the worst of times and elevated the best of times, and whenever I had a shit day at work I could always count on this community to raise my spirits. It's with this mindset that I applied for different positions in the community to try and improve/work on things so the place we play in and call home can be the same or better for others who discover this community. There's a saying - we are "standing on the shoulders of giants". We got to where we are in SG today because of those who worked hard before us. Not only this, but SG's gotten bigger and better because of the hard work all of us put in, whether it be regulars, admins, or higher-ups. While the award is "Staff of the Month", we should all pat ourselves on the back for the work we put in and take some time each month to reflect on what's changed and how much progress we've made. This place wouldn't be the same without us, so cheers to everyone .

Thanks for the bump, reviewing...

Can you go into why a CT queue would cause depopulation..?

You probably need to verify your e-mail.

Congratulations everyone! Special thank you to @vinyl and @Mad Dogg - both of you made a huge impact on my time at SG and I'm sad to see you go. Hope both of you can find time to stay in touch with the community .

This topic has been discussed numerous times and each time we've pretty much sat firm on our decision to keep the CT lockout period set to 25 minutes. If someone has insight that hasn't been provided the last 2-3 times this topic was discussed feel free to bring it up in another thread, but at this point we're going around in circles. Going ahead and locking the thread... thanks for the suggestion though. I can definitely see where this is coming from.

I uh... hm. That's probably not a good mindset to have. Anyway, I had some initial reservations around forcing ratio to be 1:2 as we have certain edge cases like razor where a CT-skewed 1:2 ratio would make more sense as the map is heavily T-sided. However, seeing as the initial suggestion was modified to enforce a 2:3 ratio at minimum, I think this plugin is a great idea considering we can catch the edge cases where it's clear the ratio is out of control no matter the map. Will push this to the team for more discussion.

Talked with the TTT team and we'll leave it disabled on the server and enable it during karma contests. Thanks for pointing this out .

@TheZZL This seems more like a suggestion so I'm going to move it to the Suggestions Box so we can properly track this. I'll gather some thoughts from the team around this. Personally I don't see a problem with allowing spectators to talk with dead people through strictly text chat. @Manny @Dominic

We're aware of this issue and I'll try to get an update from the JB ATs regarding this. @Manny @Dominic

Hi, I confirmed that this is an issue and will bring it up with the JB team. Thanks .

don't play with our feelings like this

we really out here Thanks for the promotion and I'm excited to get to work (: congrats to everyone else

@Exk sorry to hear you go man. Really hope you can find time to check back once in a while and continue to be a part of the community . Thanks for all you did Enk.

@Charliere remove me from the competition please, it was hilarious seeing what would happen if you call the boys in at 2AM in the morning but I violated the integrity of the competition so I must be sent to the shadow realm. Congrats to @roux and @nick you guys are both awesome people and admins, along with everyone else in this round.

On top of reconsidering the points you get for defusing a bomb, we should also consider giving points for wins and substracting points for losses. You win as a team and you lose as a team... this would encourage more people to actually go for objective as opposed to waiting until their teammates try.

When did you switch it? The bug re-occurred at around 11:45PM EDT today when we finished de_dust2 and tried to go to de_mirage. If you look through logs, look for Cept and Dominic changing the map to mirage manually.

Congrats @Montag glad to hear your previous circumstances changed and you were able to come back. Looking forward to seeing the work you do on the team.

As pointed out by @Kyle, for 7+ rounds in a row now we've had the ratio be 4 Ts vs. 3 CTs. This ratio heavily favors the Ts and I haven't seen any other server do this. Not that it's bad to do things against the norm, but I don't really see a reason for this ratio as it's extremely difficult for the CTs to win and doesn't really make sense to have this ratio for this many rounds in a row. Usually it's 4 CTs vs. 3 Ts..

When a map is RTV'd the map switches back to the same map without actually going to the map that was voted for. I know @Cept For Her and @Manny are aware of the issue but I figured I'd make this thread as a paper trail so this issue doesn't get lost.

We have !raffle in the server name but don't have the raffle plugin installed on the retakes server... either !raffle needs to go or the plugin should be installed . Also, similar to how scrim says how many people are needed to start the game, we could also use the same plugin for retakes. When people sit in spec without joining queue, people take a look at the 10/10 slot count and think the server is full of people playing when in reality we have slots to fill. This plugin/feature would solve this issue.
