"Jackal" @Caution

As big as your wall of text was, it was basically just copy-pasted from the rules that other servers have. The reason our server attracts so many players is because of how forgiving and open it is to players. For instance, warning shots and not having !silence (a very abusable command, mind you), allows players to talk at a reasonable volume between each other without getting blasted because they didn't hear the CT tell them to face left. I understand your concerns with the server, and I sympathize with the issues you have taken notice to, but I don't feel that SG is comfortable sacrificing the core premise of our server just to get a better CT win ratio.

The issue has been acknowledged, and they've determined that this isn't the solution they want to follow at the current time. Thanks for the suggestion.

[video=youtube_share;mTzEp4CeWT8] A friend of mine took his own life the night before New Year's Eve; that shit hurts. If anyone wants to share some sad alt/indie music, it wouldn't go unappreciated.

My news years resolution is to buy Steam-Gamers.net

To clarify, I said New Year's, and he misheard it

I think we should just make it against the rules to call freeday for !fo. Not only would it hinder the CTs taking !fo and spamming freeday, but it would help on the first round when people don't hear the restrictions and complain about freekill. You can still have first round and all round freedays, they can just be called after calling a regular !fo (take one step out, face the back, etc.).

filtered. Try The Antlers; Wake, Bear, and Parade are my fav tracks by them.

I think he's referring to at the end of the map, when everyone spams nextmap to see what it's switching to and decide if they want to leave or stay.

JB's mechanics, and especially its maps, allow for more leeway in terms of events. Most events on TTT would be difficult to apply without completely removing the core gameplay mechanics. Things like fun rounds, I feel, are the best way to have an event on TTT, as it preserves the core goal of the server, while allowing more creative and downright hilarious gameplay.

I'm going to say that we should stay on the conservative side of issuing bans for "ooga booga" for a number of reasons: a) Ooga Booga does not have "historical" references of being used in a racist sense like any of the other words on the racism list in the admin section b) Ooga Booga is not currently present on the admin list for racist words c) Ooga Booga is a term used in a number of other occasions, including games, movies, and referencing neanderthal speech. I feel that it only makes sense to ban players if it can be clearly seen using derogatively or pointed towards other players. While I don't feel that someone should take advantage of a questionable term simply because it's recently been cleared as okay, the fact that it has been cleared as okay should protect players from bans when they don't fall into the categories above. A similar situation occurred when someone on TTT (with many racist previous names) donned the name "Lynchables". This seemed like a clear cut case of racism, given the historical use of the word and the player's previous names, but it was later cleared by higher ups because there was no way to prove the term "lynch" as racist, given that it's dictionary definition simply means being hung without trial, usually by a mob. On a different note, would anyone mind giving a concise summary of SG's stance on anti-semitism? When I first joined, I remember it being a grey area, which usually went unpunished. However, I thought I recalled a harsher stance being taken on it later, with several ban reasons being issued with the term "racism/anti-semitism". As of recently, I've heard many regs and admins quoting in Teamspeak that it's okay to make fun of Jews because "It's a religion like Islam". For whatever it's worth to the situation: Jews are a protected race under the Civil Rights Act, however, following WWII, Jews specifically prefer to be referenced as an ethnicity and not a race. https://www.haaretz.com/us-news/u-s-court-rules-jews-are-protected-race-under-civil-rights-act-1.6291921 http://www.jewfaq.org/judaism.htm The moral of the story here is generally to respect all peoples and players, but we can't just go about banning anyone that makes a "joke" targeted towards a certain group of people, or can we?

Recruiting the help of my childhood friend to put you boots down. Srsly tho let's do Osu! Mania instead

Ned has given me a great deal of insight into my character and given me nothing but solid advice. He also sucked my toes and don't even complain about the fungus.

It makes sense that sensitive information, such as pictures of our members, would be blocked to people who aren't logged in, but I'm sure the specific content that can and can't be seen could be revised. For instance, when you are banned, you can't see the last reply to your appeal without creating a new account or having someone else send it to you.

The script that I wrote for TTT gives a general explanation of how the gamemode works and how each role functions. I feel that JB's video should follow the same guidelines. Give them enough information where they won't run around freekilling or thinking they're being freekilled, but leave all the finer details for them to read in the rules or discover themselves. If you need help writing it, I'd be happy to lend a hand, but if not, I'll leave it to the professionals on this topic.

*cough* TTT was already planning one *cough* This would be a great idea though, glad to see JB is on board.

The only issue is that we would need a map that can accommodate 30+ players. Blacksite is far too small and something like our MG BR map wouldn't work because it needs to have varied terrain and have small localized building/towns to keep everyone from rushing to the center or duking it out on spawn.

I'd recommend slapping a new cooler on that CPU, I'm using a CM 212 EVO and have no problem running between 3.8 and 4.2

I've been 6'4 and 130 lbs now for about 3 years. Because of my diet growing up, I find it difficult to work up an appetite to eat lots of calories or even eat at all. Have you had any experience with supplements or specific foods that can boost your appetite or lower your metabolism?

I'm sure if it was something manually handed out like how @WillofCamelot got the Staff model, it'd be easier to implement than an automatic milestone award.

I like this idea; granting a store item to anyone who wins the Karma contest award? Maybe something like this [ATTACH=CONFIG]18788[/ATTACH]

Many of these mechanics are still able to be supported by the source engine, I used to play on a server that used classic player models and mechanics, allowing you to nadeboost in CS:GO.
