fantastic

Congratulations to everyone on your new roles! A special congratulations to @Polarzz . Fuck man, you've been consistent since Day 1 of when I was promoted to AT and worked with you as a fellow manager. Your consistency as a pillar of ZE has always had my respect and I'm happy to see you step up into IA. Glad to have you on the team and have your input on the decisions and discussions.

Hi, to my knowledge we are unable to link identities.

Hi, we have community rules which apply to all servers and server-specific rules. In the server section here: https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=527 Click on the server you want to see the rules of, and click on the appropriate rules thread.

Mercy and Great White

Hello, I've updated the JB ATs with the updated maps for both canyondam and dojo, thanks you boys!

Internal Affairs should stay as Internal Affairs

This isn't viable because we use the GOTV bot to record demos of players banned by SMAC, and unfortunately GOTV can't record two demos at once. Will be marking this as rejected as a result of this, but feel free to continue discussing... perhaps there's a solution we haven't thought of.

From what I understand this move is not aimed to benefit established members of the community who enjoy Teamspeak, but moreso to benefit existing players on the server who want an easy way to join our community

Have you read through the thread and read the clarifying questions asked and answers given? (:

I'm starting to see where you're coming from and I like the idea as long as: 1. Players are still expected to record video from the demos and upload videos to the player complaint as per the norm 2. Voice and text chat are able to be included in the demo. This introduces more use cases than just hacking. I'll dig into #2 and get back to this suggestion sometime this weekend. Feel free to ping me if I haven't replied yet. @Nishok @Liam Brown do you have any comments on this as well as the feasibility of this idea?

Interesting proposal of asking people to record video of the demos and upload them to the complaint to save work on the CAs' side. Some more concerns: 1. Are we realistically expecting many people to download the demo, save it to their CS:GO directory, skip through the 30+ minutes laggy demo with CS:GO's poor demo system, record a video and upload it? I doubt many people will which already makes this concept unappealing... 2. The only situation where comms context isn't required is likely hacking, but hackers for the most part are caught by SMAC already. So while this concept may work I don't think it will be too helpful tbh. Lots of effort for an extremely limited use case.

IMHO it's impractical for a few reasons: 1. The TMs would have to expose part of the FTP directory to the general public or set up the bot to save the demos somewhere on the FTP where people can access it. 2. Storage space required for these demos would mean the demos would need to be wiped in days, if not hours. 3. If demos are available players are no longer required to record video evidence. Especially given the fact that loading up a demo and skipping through it with CS:GO's shitty demo review system would increase the time required to review evidence exponentially, CAs would need to spend far longer doing player complaints. This means a lot more work from the CAs is required to properly address player complaints. 4. I can imagine a significant increase in player complaints for petty issues now that the "work" of uploading a video is removed. 5. Demos leave out a crucial part of context: voice and text comms. This is context which is required for the vast majority of situations on JB and TTT.

Infrastructure admins likely have different use cases for hard drives than the traditional consumer... I've also heard rumors of Seagate drives dying relatively quickly whereas WD is fairly reliable. In any case I actually agree with the sentiment that cloud storage is a great option for long-term storage as long as you're not storing your social security number or anything sensitive on there. I use Dropbox and Google Drive for long-term photo storage for example. I probably won't ever buy another HDD again given how cheap SSDs are getting.

Yes that's right haha https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/forms.php?do=form&fid=56 Thanks

Congratulations everyone!!! @WillofCamelot WELCOME BACK

/dz should be fixed, /ghost is put back on the backburner for now while we liaison with the dev. Thanks!

My replies above pretty much summed up our team's thoughts regarding this. Please let us know if you see the situation of Ts being confused when only 1 CT is left more often on the servers, but for now from what we've observed it seems to be playing out fine. Thanks for the suggestion!

Gun toss? Yessir it's on our list to add back. Quick scope battles? Sure, but at a lower priority because it's similar to noscope.

@Prez What are we singing this time

Done.

Yeah for sure, don't worry I'm not shutting down the discussion. So this is the problem which is causing these situations and confusion, yeah? To be honest I think that even if it gets a little messy in the end-game Ts should still know to follow whatever last order was given. It's natural for things to get a bit hectic when there's only 1 CT left; that's why we're also discussing how to handle last CT. Peep this.

Hey Grateful, sorry I haven't replied to your other suggestions yet... working on it. So Dominic deciphered this for me and what I understood: - Ts don't know what to do because the last given order is from the other CTs that died - Because of this, the last CT should give a new order to clarify any confusion which makes it clear that if Ts don't obey this order they will be KOS'd Did I understand that right? LMK if I didn't. If this is the case, this seems like a non-issue... the situation plays out pretty straight-forward on the server. There doesn't seem to be any confusion on the server and the rule itself seems fine.

Welcome back @Zayne (:
