Who's our designated sweater for this? Who's getting every hole in one?

damn u really got your ankles broke, who did you dirty? I have never broken a bone, but I have dislocated my left knee 4 times.

- All CTs always has and always should be able to KOS and "pardon" (even though literally no one honours the pardons). If only one person could call KOS, it would lead to openings for even more Ts to rebel. It's also kind of unspoken at this point if Ts do certain things, they are KOS. - We've discussed the possibilities of special days in the past, and usually, it gets shot down. Here is an example. We HAVE done events involving special days. Same with wardens-- the idea of implementing a warden has been discussed many times and the furthest we've gotten towards one is !fo. - I don't see a point of forced CT swapping when most people switch on their own and admins will forcefully move the most recent one to unbalance ratio, or the server will press people to fix ratio. ----------------------------------- - I know I said earlier I wouldn't mind changing to test out a warden system just to see how the change would impact the server, but I'm more indifferent than anything. I've seen the same system that's attracted players for years on end. I don't really care for a warden system, but if it seems to benefit the server, there's nothing wrong with the change.

I agree with this. @tiny quail This is how we already do our "warden" system now with !fo, except if you do !fo, you need to wait for two rounds. If we were to implement a warden system, I feel like it would be fairly useless except for times where the server is popping. If the warden plugin was enacted when there were 20+ players on the server, it would be pretty okay just for the sake of crowd control and clarity of orders. I know plenty of times when someone tries to give an order just for another CT to talk over them and change the order completely, and it can be super annoying. BUT, I believe to make this successful, there need to be restrictions on warden such as: you may only use it once every few rounds, exactly like !fo; to be able to be a warden, you need ___ amount of hours on the server*; and if the warden is killed after ____ seconds into the round*, there can't be a new warden. Also, if in my system of 20+ = warden, then having 12-19 players online would still allow for !fo to be used. I like to think of it as a progressive system. *= The times for these would need to be discussed further, as finding the right balance for both could be tricky, and require some testing in the case of how late in the round can a new warden be chosen. To elaborate, I feel like the prisoners should get the incentive of killing the warden gives the reward of the ensuing chaos with CTs scrambling to try and control the Ts. I personally don't have a problem with this system because change is needed for the CT side to help nullify at least some of the chaos that is CT side. The main drawback I could even potentially see from this is that some people may be upset about this to the point of not joining again, but the number who do that is probably not substantial enough to cause the server to lose much pop. Overall (TLDR): This could be a good system with the right restrictions and balances, and could hopefully cause the server to be hopefully a little tamer.

I keep up a lot with the NBA as well, I just made my S tier the teams I think will make the conference finals. I think Brooklyn is a big wild card because either they will pop off and rape the east or they'll lack the chemistry that drove them to the playoffs last year (besides the extremely top sided east) and flop and be a low seed playoff team.

I watched many many shows as a kid but these three were the ones I probably watched at most ad nauseam 1. [video=youtube;szKZ0keja-g] also, uncle iroh >>>> any other character, change my mind 2. 3. drake.... where's the door hole?

You can nominate any map you want, but if it's not one of the top 6 played, chances are you won't get more than like 2 votes. I agree to an extent because it's pretty dumb to be able to go from ba_jail_electric_razor_go to ba_jail_electric_revamp_f2 which is literally a reskin of the first except for the addition of the Deagle room and the Glock secret (not really a secret) in pool. That can get boring quickly for a lot of people, but at this point people just kinda vote for the maps they know because why bother learning a new map when you can just go for the easy rebel or easy camp? If we're gonna be on the topic of repeating maps it is fair to mention how there are two spy vs spy and lego maps. They're less played but still extremely similar to each other.

As ZZL said, it's near impossible to RTV an electric map, and if you do get a rtv, it's just for another electric map.

TJ is literally a bench piece. He can be replaced. I'm excited for Josh Richardson, I'm just upset we gave up Saric and Covington for half a season of Butler.

I agree because when I play JB I just want to chill and just have a good time but I know playing the same 5 or 6 maps over and over can get stale for people. I know for me that playing the same maps over several years has made it pretty stale for me, but I still play because it's fun to shit on people as CT (xd). As Gentoo said: This was the main thing I was going for. I wanted a meta change, not an effort change, but I can see the adverse effects of this idea. Thanks, @TheZZL @Gentoo @Trazz for the feedback. I can see why this wouldn't work but I think it would be cool if there was a way that only benefitted the server that spiced up the meta and map rotation a little.

don't know why I'm laughing because we traded away fucking jimmy buckets for josh richardson

Hello, I am suggesting that on JB if a map has a side (most likely T) win 10 rounds, the map should switch. In my opinion, if a side has won 10 rounds, the map has definitely run its course. For instance: say on vipinthemix T wins the first 10 rounds, and the map was extended and still has 7-10 minutes left it can get stale for some people if one side is overwhelmingly winning. I say the map would run its course because a round where the Ts win will last around 2 1/2 to 4 minutes so that gives ~25 minutes to 40 minutes on the same map with potentially more time left. That gives ample time on a single map. I think adding a system where the map is switched after a side has won 10 will help keep maps fresher and hopefully encourage more maps to be used on a regular basis. The next map would be voted on when one side had 7 or 8 wins. I don't know when the next community JB meeting is, so I thought it would be better just to bring it up here and maybe have it discussed further then if people were down for this.

@Military_king I tried manually replicating this bug by asking some people to lr me with RPS but it worked like normal. @Bacon @thump What maps did this bug occur on for you guys? I'm beginning to think it only occurs on some maps or with some people? Edit: I doubt it would only occur with some people, but only occurring on some maps is more likely the issue.

The libtards won't know what's coming. Can't wait to play.

I'm pretty sure that's what happened. Because when I died I got two messages "you didn't choose rock, paper, or scissors in time!" (or something like that) and "you are unable to accept another LR while already in one" So I think there's a bug with RPS (maybe others too) where if you get sent another LR request it may force the LR to end? So with RPS it kills you but perhaps with the other ones it would say you cheated or force-end the LR? I'll try and get a few people to help me duplicate this later and see if it was a one-off thing or is something that is consistent @Military_king

Today when playing R-P-S as a LR with a T, I was given about one second before being killed for not choosing in time which is kinda dumb because you can, like many CTs do just blindly accept the LR and not really pay attention to which LR was chosen and be killed when just trying to find the T that LRed you. My suggestion is to allow like 3-4 seconds for someone to choose so they can at least realize what they're doing without being killed for a silly reason. Just my two cents.

There's pros to that but many more cons imo. Would be more of a nuisance to remember to do that more than anything. Maybe just me.

Couldn't have said it better myself. At this point, it's more of an honor code thing compared to a rule thing. This rule has been in place for as long as I can remember. I also remember when I was like 15-16 (2-3 years ago) most CTs would actually be pretty lenient and give Ts a chance to drop the primary if they involuntarily got passed the gun from a T-mate's death or T-mate throwing the gun to them. But, nowadays it seems most CTs will just focus more on their K/D and just get the kills. The most you can do is give a little leniency in situations where it's obvious the T has no control over getting the run. And when you're on T, just try to stay away from the person with the primary unless you are rebelling.

Perhaps do it the old fashioned way? set up a 10 slot server for comp, pre-select teams, do a tournament? just make sure people join the correct teams and such I never owned CSS so this may not be possible but this was just the first thing I thought of.

I'll check out the 970. Back when I used my craptop for everything, the hard drive that came with the laptop kicked the can and I got a replacement that was a hybrid ssd and hdd. They put my OS on the ssd and the rest on the hdd and my 5 year old laptop did and still does boot in a snap compared to what it used to. I would think the same would apply to my PC. Not saying my PC is slow, I'm just really picky and have expensive tastes and high expectations for computers. Also would want to go for the 1TB because I'm heading to college in the fall and I'd want my most important stuff on the SSD.
