That is me, and I dont leave my game open.

?????

I'd rush back in 2015 and convince Spartan to give shark LG so I don't have to see this failure of a man try to apply again

I've thought about this due to the recent lack of skins donations, I might organize a bi-monthly/monthly "raffle/giveaway" with humble bundle/g2a games. They don't cost much and I might be able to do that myself soon. Your idea isn't crazy and I'm considering it myself.

Out of 12 keys, I got 3350 gems back, which barely gives me a key back (14 sets). This is far from an exploit and doesn't impact the money you make, as you don't even get a key back out of 12 invested.

Giving people head armor wouldn't change a single thing to eden mowing your ass with an ak, they 1 hit.It's also been discussed to nea. It'd be totally unbalanced to remove T armour too. We suggested giving KEVLAR to all, head armor to detectives, which would also be a buyable for Ts, possibly.

I've had a few days to think bout it since no-lifing the karma race, and I've had a lengthy discussion with eden regarding this specific, yet server-wide issue. Do not worry, we're not calling TTT dead or anything (since every bit of criticism directed to TTT seems to be taken that way, leading to defensive and pointless argumentation) but the gamemode is weak, very weak. The state of TTT isn't was it used to be. Repeating myself from LargeAll's post, I believe that the CS part of the server is overwhelming and that TTT has turned into "who has the best aim and reflexes", without exaggerating. The meta is indeed kevlar - ofc, a great part still go for the awp/m4a1s or even fucking tasers - and it is WAY to good of an item to not buy. The idea of giving kevlar to innocents has been suggested and repealed in the past, but I've yet to come to a clear argument of why we shouldn't give innocents normal kevlar. Having thoroughly thought about it with eden, I think it'd be worth trying on our server. Having kevlar doesn't make you simply tankier, but it gives you a chance to fight back an enemy that aims for the body, whereas you have the second shot. The aimpunch reduction can greatly change the course of a firefight, a fraction of a second is saved trying to recover your aim to actually hitting the opponent once or twice. This increases the strategy and skill required to be a successful T. The solution isn't absolute and we're far from revolutionizing the gamemode, but I think it'd be a good thing to think about to make the server somewhat closer to TTT, and not customized deathmatch. It isn't a coincidence that the top TTT players are "Rambos", because the best strategy is to "rambo" innocents. We've also thought about pimping the T store. Many have brought up arguments like "but the fact that you don't expect a T buying it makes it great". Even if I don't expect my opponent buying a Negev without armour on a second round in mm, it's not suddenly a "great" move, or beneficial in anyway. The matchbox is stupidly underused because it has the same cost that a full body armor has, and in a real situation, nobody but trolls have time to use it correctly to its full extent. We used to have death stations, fake bodies, one-hit silenced pistols, etc. that required strategy and fine gameplay to win, since gmod wasn't centered on aiming. This may be another thing to think about, as armor isn't the only thing to be changed, in my opinion. Shoutout to adon for making this delicious post, I really think this is a step in the right direction.

Alright, there's a lot of weird arguments here and there, but I understand where LargeAll is trying to get. Let's stop romanticizing TTT; it is not what it used to be, at all. The argument "back in the gmod days" isn't really working anymore and TTT has become custom deathmatch. I've often thought about giving innocents kevlar w/out helmet and I couldn't reach to a proper conclusion. Unlike what Greggy thinks, you really do not need to "get lucky" to survive a 1v4, this is under-exaggerating it. I've played TTT like a crazy fuck this past month to get karma and let me tell you this: TTT is no longer about "strategy" and "who's the killer" anymore, not at all. I hate to say this but TTT is far from being the roleplay it originally was and it's basically a deathmatch with rules . Anybody who masters the art of not aiming at the crotch will win if playing correctly. CS is an aim game, this is where it differs from Gmod. Back then, like LargeAll said, you'd encounter many servers with a variety of weapons and they'd all be nerfed/buffed to balance it out with the T weapons. Where LargeAll is also right, is that T store is underwhelming, and I agree with that. I buy kevlar, radar, and I don't even know where to spend my credits at that point. Some maps are m4a1-s friendly, others aren't, same goes for the AWP. The rank disparity is so strong, 10 kills rounds aren't even impressive anymore. However, I believe the gamemode is pretty balanced. The ratio is relatively correct, the rounds are, overall, 50/50 and the Ts aren't too much at a disadvantage. Is TTT perfect? No, ofc not. Is TTT dying? Maybe, cause of the way CS is made and meant to be played. Is there something needed to fix TTT at the moment? No, I don't think something affects the gameplay so much it would require a change.

Thank god SG is full of variety, the music thread was getting depressing at times. I'm currently digging Choc'n'Cheese from Ween. The album is full of fucked shit, great tunes and more fucked shit. Insane musical genius at moments, I keep getting impressed at the variety of the album itself. Worth a listen for anybody who's very open to many genre.

Thanks a bunch! Grats to @eden and @MaR 1 who really no-lifed with me!

Gratz big man!

The Game Theory would suggest that to optimize everyone's benefits, we'd both have to predict that the other prisoner is thinking about us and not simply about ourselves. Meaning that to achieve the optimal situation, I'd have to shut the fuck up, hoping that my friend won't talk. This dilemma is great in explaining philosophy and economy. At the same time, nobody knows what they'll pick if it had to happen to them, which is why neo-classical approaches conclude that the average rational person would be snitching on their accomplice. I'd personally risk silence.

I used to hold myself with anxiety, like you. High school was tough and near the end, I just didn't see college coming and I kinda panicked - the thought of actually studying, having to do something. Thinking about being stressed got me stressing. So I moved 800km away for college, without friends or family. It's philosophical, I needed change, variety. Went from a 3k town to a 2m+ city. I'm happy to not have done something different. I hope you figure it out, anxiety really is a fucking disease to have.

Me and Mar are both in college

adon is getting a "surprise" @eden

I'm not really against a reward for playtime awards, but I'm against destroying the credits value. Even though it's not to be treated as a currency, giving me 5k every time I achieve 5 days is sorta adding not needed credit. I'd rather give a month of sub for 15 days, where sub is also 5$ is value + encourages ppl to play even more during the month. But I like the idea, worth talking about.

If people don't want to knife in the first place, why would a plugin make it any different. I believe that this is pretty useless since if you legitimately want to knife, you'll knife legit (and I've seen it).

I'm currently studying Social Science in college. Who fucking knows where I'll end up.

I personally planed to finish my editing on saturday - I'll only edit it if others join, else its 2 free awards

Delaying I'd define T delaying as "not doing what they should be doing to win". For instance, the last T alive wasting everyone's time by shooting the bowling pins on community_bowling instead of killing the afk guy behind him. If a T isn't working towards winning - for a long period of time, ofc - it is delaying. 30-60 seconds on making a plan to kill the 7 last innos in one blow doesn't count as delaying. In any way, we'll tell you to start moving if you delay. edit: fuck u moon

Love you "huge faggot" Will miss your ass

Wooper where are you when SG needs you the most

They want to make sure TTTeam wins
