thank u @thuxys for the banner What is manhunt? Manhunt is a game mode where one or two people (depending on group size) will go out and find a vehicle that naturally spawns on the map and act like a civilian the best they can so they aren't found. The non-hiders wait for the hiders to hide, and go out and find a vehicle that naturally spawns and do their best to find the hiders without cheating. What are the rules? 1. Your radar must be OFF (Settings -> Display -> Radar : OFF) 2. Your player overhead name display must be off. (Settings -> Online -> Player Overhead Display: NONE) 3. No personal vehicles. 4. Anyone may customize a streetcar at Los Santos. 4. No randomly shooting people in cars in the hopes of getting lucky and killing a hider. 5. Seekers must use single-shot pistols to kill hiders. (No auto pistols, no up-n-atomizer) 6. Hiders can use SMGs to defend themselves against seekers. 7. Hiders may move on foot for a short time but should remain in a vehicle most of the time. 8. Hiders may not hide inside of buildings (you may customize your car in LS for a short time). 9. Hiders must remain within the map's confines. See the map below. How will you prevent cheating? This entire game mode is built off trust that no one will cheat to keep it fun for everyone. Through experience in playing this game, it's clear that not everyone is trustworthy. While I ask that you please don't cheat so it's as fun as possible for everyone, I will be taking an extra measure to prevent cheaters. Each round, someone-- either myself or another volunteer can choose to sit out a round and watch the minimap. Generally speaking, if I or the other observer see a player dart directly for the hider or pause then go directly towards the hider, you will be kicked from the lobby. You will be allowed to rejoin, but if it happens a second time, you will be barred from the event. What's the map? The map can be seen here: (Yes, I know it's scuffed) It is divided into 3 zones, each of which a hider is allowed to enter. If need be, we may require hiders to say one region they will not be in if the turnout is low, but hopefully, we will not resort to that. be there or be square When? Saturday, May 23rd @ 3pm EST Where? I will host a friends-only lobby so we may have privacy. Please PM me here or on Discord if you need to add my social club. While you are here you might as well join our steam group!

Hi. These are all things I plan on doing at least in the semi-near future. I have an idea of how manhunt can be kept clean and fun. Hopefully, these will be things you all publicly see soon. Thanks for the suggestion.

grats boys, hope to see us all do well.

This is completely understandable. My thought process behind replacing a server was just a reallocation of resources to something more successful. In general principle, my further thoughts were along the lines of freeing a manager from a dead server would allow them to work on another server and eventually freeing up space for managers to show interests in their other passion projects that may not be possible if their load is at a reasonable maximum. This is just something I hope to see in the future one way or another, and I'd love to chip in help any way I could to a project like a KZ server.

While it's valid you feel this way since you partially birthed the Surf DM server, I don't think it's true that a KZ server would die. Unless if my memory is failing me, I don't really remember too many suggestions months ago of people going "yo we need a Surf DM server", and there was definitely hype but I feel that a KZ server would have substantially more going for it from the get-go. Basing off pure statistics, there are 11 servers in the top 1000 that are KZ Climb and only 1 Surf DM/RPG Surf that even cracks almost top 1000. There's a broader player base for KZ Climb since it can allow competitive players to improve their movement, and allow people who enjoy bhop and course style maps to get another server for them to enjoy. A KZ Climb server would reach a bigger market of players than the Surf DM ever would (no offense). Not to mention, we didn't get "lucky" with Retakes or 1v1. Retakes also got months of effort from @Manny and @Cept For Her and has been pretty popular since its inception. On top of this (like @idealist mentioned in shoutbox), it is a competitive mode in a competitive game, allowing it to be more successful by nature. 1v1 for a while was sitting in the dirt too, but once managers and other staff began investing time into it, it has grown to a much better point. This is a shaky analogy, but marketing and putting out the Surf DM server is along the lines of trying to trade away a Case Hardened skin back in skin trading's hay-day. There's a limited range of people who are interested. Point being, all three servers have had effort put into them, but the more competitive ones have yielded a higher rank.

Hi. With all due respect, the Surf DM server is dead and has been dead for a while. It has sat in the Mid 3000s to Low 4000s ranks for months now. In the last 30 days, it peaked at 7 players. When it first came out it was fun, but only while it lasted. This server would have been better off as an MGT in my own opinion. The managers did their best to try and put life in it, but it seems there is no community interest in either playing or bringing suggestions for this server. Something that has piqued the interest of the community for a while now is a KZ server. I don't feel like this would be a niche server that only lasted a short time, but would be a name stay for a while. There are six KZ servers located in the top 500 servers, and I feel like with proper management and time investment, we could make our way up there as well with numerous regulars in our community showing interest in the concept of a server. With an already promising player base, this would hopefully allow our name to get out there on server lists because we are already populated. There are multiple KZ timers that are public and this server wouldn't take too much time to set up as long as the cards were played right.

I personally don't think this idea would be the best. While it's a reasonable idea to reward players for playing on the server we're 'featuring' (even though it's always been in ZE since I joined this place), I think there's a couple of flaws worth mentioning. Firstly, giving some sort of credit bonus on whatever server is being featured devalues credits. Secondly, if the managers are doing an event that boosts credits, would the boost compound? That would further devalue credits. I'm emphasizing credits so much because it's a purchasable currency for our community and a source of income that keeps our servers going from month to month and I think it's important to keep their value reasonably high or else people would stop buying them. There are other ways to go about rewarding players such as having like a "featured model" that bounces from server to server when it's featured. That would give an extra free model for players to use if they play on the featured server, but models aren't an incentive to every player. I dunno, for me this idea has good sentiment in concept but the actual implementation of this I feel could get shaky and take a bit of further debate.

Bump, any update?

MGT Suggestion Suggestion/Idea: GMOD Murder Link to plugin/gamemode (if applicable): Just host a server lol Why do you think this would make a good MGT?: Fun gamemode, would be cool to have a server for a week. Plus if this were the June MGT (cough cough) it would be the start of Summer and get a lot of players I think. Also tons of people have GMOD, and it's cheap enough that someone (me, or someone else) could do a giveaway of a couple of copies.

I am having the same issue when trying to make a signature, text, image, or text & image.

One thing my mom once said was "Not worth worrying about something you can't control." One thing a man in a pink suit once said was "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks"

Hey, I made this but I suppose I did submit it too late for clip of the month. I'd like you all to see it because it was a good time nonetheless. I suck with videos, so enjoy if you can [video=youtube_share;4NBtS34aVrM]

:peepoclap: grats boys!

Thread name says it all. Here are some models I think would be good for the servers that would want to use them. Gamebanana links are hyperlinked to the character's names. 1. Deku x Uraraka 2. Issac Clarke Security Suit 3. Donald Trump (this would be great for a protect the president event (*wink wink*) )

I think I know another server this feature would be great for... Cheers @Bacon now I have something to do while procrastinating this paper

Update: @skitz thoughts?

I made this build. I think it would suit your needs as long as you're fine with a 1660. Also I use fans because I trust it more.

new forums soon™

Hey again, I just had another idea for an event. Retakes and 1v1 seem like servers where it's tricky to make unique events and I think this may be something similar but different to try. I think it'd be neat that if the scores were reset for 1v1 and/or retakes it would be a fun time to race to get to LEM first. The winner would get some sort of prize like a skin, credits, game, or whatever was decided upon. There wouldn't be any hard time cap on this event but would definitely encourage some friendly competition to be that first LEM.

I mean I originally made this thread over 6 months ago, but something I just thought of that may be an interesting spin on this would be like sort of a "Head Guard" (protect the president) vs prison gang sort of thing? Like one guard chosen by plugin or CA+ manually would get 400-500HP and it would be the job of the CTs to try and keep them alive, while the Ts tried to protect their top gunman since they have the most powerful weapon. But if this event were done similarly to how I suggested, I would say either all CTs get like +15 HP or like just a small buff that incentivizes playing CT. I'll think about this more tomorrow as it's very late now.

Heyo, the last couple of days we have been playing Manhunt in GTA and it's been loads of fun. I think it would be fun to get a massive event going where it's either a full lobby in free roam or a session where it's an actual map that's pre-setup. I should note that this game is based entirely on trust, and I ask that if this becomes an event and you participate, you remain honest and don't spoil this for yourself and others. Rules: General: Civilian vehicles that can be naturally found only. This includes helicopters/airplanes at the airport and police vehicles if you get the cops on you. Players are confined to the area that is pre-determined by the players or whoever is the "leader" of the game. We've been doing from the hills to the airport, or smaller than that depending on the number of people. Player nicknames above their head must be turned off. Your minimap must be turned off, but your HUD may remain on. The seeker who kills the hider has first dibs on being the next hider but may allow someone else to hide if they choose. Hider(s): Must act like a civilian as much as possible. You are given 2 minutes to hide around the map, during this time you can do whatever you need to get into a position where you can hide in plain sight. You are allowed to use an SMG to kill a seeker if you notice they are near you. If you are killed by a seeker, you lose and the round is over. Seekers: You can not use personal vehicles and must find a vehicle on the street/at the airport. You can not leave a designated area until the hider's 2 minutes to hide have elapsed. You ARE allowed to work with other seekers, but the kill is first come, first serve. You are only allowed to kill a hider if you notice they are not behaving as an AI should, or something is off about their vehicle (headlights off at night, banged-up vehicle, not behaving correctly around police, etc.) You may only kill a hider with a bullet-shooting pistol. This bans the Atomizer. I don't think I missed anything here, but if I did please point it out and I'll add it to the list. If allowed, I'd also be happy to host this event, but as I'm not on the events team I don't know if I am allowed.
