Congrats @Kieran! @ChadI hope to see big things for you, i'm excited! @euroWelcome back to your team! Before you got banned I think I remember you being Lead Designer, right?

Again, @splayd's idea would be fine for this, but you want to accomodate an irresponsible consumer who: Doesn't check their bills, their paypal, any suspicious activity on their card/bank, and remember what they buy. If it's not hard to implement, then there's not a big reason to not add it," Hey, you've been a Steam-Gamers Elite Donor for 28 Months, are you still actively interested in this purchase?". If "some people" don't check their emails, how would this even help then (or how would we get a message to them).

This is also not a bad idea, but it already happens doesn't it? You get an email the day before/near the time your subscription is about to "expire" reminding you that it will expire. Ya'll don't get this?

As a fucntion adult in modern society, with credit cards, subscriptions, and some companies taking money from your account (wrongfully) it is your responsibility to either stay up to date with your bills or not give our your information. If you want to not have it as a subscription, you can do what @Mikey.said and send 100 dollars for 10 months of VIP etc.

https://gyazo.com/b8ddd691811f8fa7f87089b31a449584 Move the "players" and "Current map" above the map, and capitalize the "p" in players. Additionally, Skill Surf and RPG FFA have ? for their current maps. https://gyazo.com/183efbe63b62929cb83f0d78e3ebbb2b Make the "Who Was Online" closeable, it's very large and a bit unnecessary Make Senior Server Admin to just Server Admin Add the events and technical team under "Team Leaders" here https://steam-gamers.net/staff/ and possibly fix BoM and Infinityward's roles under their section

BIG POGCHAMP, thank you to everybody who worked hard on this and helped releasing it. test2

I agree. This makes me think of the controversy between Apple and Spotify about their music platforms. Apple was practically bleeding them dry with the 30% cut, especially on their $.99 subscription. Also, recently Apple, Amazon, and Facebook were questioned by Congress for their anti-competitiveness practices, and this is what Tim Cook said:

I think Epic really brought this onto themselves by trying to cut Apple/Google out of the loop through the direct payment. They should just do what we all did in middle school, say you're sorry and ask for forgiveness (ask them to revert it).

As the official player complainter, I can tell you the new forums were scrapped so Caution can buy a new golden Mac book

When that version of the map was live, the guards would give orders or a freeday on second island and camp 1st island. People had a big problem with it, so ultimately it was removed. People wanted the map back after that, so they contracted someone, Darnias, to re-make the map but with the two islands visible to each other. When Darnias did re-make it, apparently, he made it poorly and it caused bugs. One of those bugs were an invisibility glitch with the Metal Detector, causing the map to be removed again. Then, the map was finally added back when Infinityward_ re-made/fixed it.

I was the one to make the map removal request, even though I'm probably the biggest fan of this map. The map still had two bugs the modding team was attempting to fix, and the map didn't perform very well. Upon switching to the map we'd lose half the population, and always have someone wanting to rtv off of it. Additionally, I'd been getting reports of some players not even being able to connect when we switched over to clouds. Click here to view the removal request.

Congrats Eric, Nox, and Maniac. Well deserved!

I actually made a review of this map in this thread, and here are my notes: Like I said in the final notes, the map is chaotic, large, and seemingly unorganized. I really wouldn't recommend this map for our servers, as the CTs would get stomped by the amount of overpowered secrets and how easy they are to access. Infinityward_, who's a judge for the Gamebanana Contest this map was submitted for, would probably agree with me as we shared the same thoughts while looking at the map.

Rejected for the reasons above.

Crazy to think almost two years ago I was in TS with you, you freaking out about applying for admin. Sad to see you go, hop on Jailbreak and smack some Prisoners soon.

I really don't think the meta would shift as much as you think. The Prisoners still have the advantage over the Guards, all the healthboost does is allow a Guard to survive longer during a gunfight. It's use shouldn't be at the start of the round, as an AWP would still kill you and those grenades thrown around would get rid of the boost. Use it how you'd like, but restricting it to a certain timeframe wouldn't make much sense. @ShadoTheLunatic it can feel like you're getting fucked with by the healthboost and hitting for 134 or 200+ on a single CT, but your team is still demolishing them. Also, there's that global limit Vanya mentioned, so only a few CTs have that buff; Less or possible none if it was used earlier in the round.

Thank you Rygor for the event! It was a lot of fun, especially on VIP and Arcade. I think the regulars really enjoyed it, and everyone got a fair share of the VIP/President role. Great work as always

Congratulations to everyone! I was eating breakfast and all of a sudden got a ping from a CA related channel, I was like, "Did someone accidentally give me a role?". Thank you to the LAs, congrats Gentoo, and thank you to everyone who helped me get down this road. The yellow really is off-putting, got to get used to that.

Just to add, there was another discussion about this. At the end of the day what I gathered was that !showrules could be effective, but if someone didn't want to read the rules they would just ignore the pop-up. It's not really worth it, in my opinion, to add a command like this with such little impact.

The map has an adequate amount of deathgames and secrets, more than enough to satisfy our players. I like the map, I suggest we test it on our servers. Screenshots attached Yes

The Warday/Iraqi Warzone feature enables Friendly Fire when it teleports the Ts into the arena, we could find a way to disable that/only allow it to work on the Prisoners inside the game. It looks like a good map that would fit our server. Screenshots attached Yes

Most of the maps games are deathgames, but there are still fun things to do before 2:30. I suggest adding a pistol or grenades to a few cells. Screenshots attached Yes

Outside (down) - Falling Log: Ts have to dodge the falling logs, the game is getting harder and harder. - Shooting Range: Teleports 2 random Ts, the fastest to destroy targets win. - The Dilemna: Ts have to choose between 2 choices, the smallest group lose HPs. - Reflex Tester: Ts have to press their cube ONLY after that the middle one explode. The first one win. - Karting: Ts have to drive their kart to the end! Outside (upper) - Laser Tree: Ts have to dodge various attacks from the tree. - Easy BHOP: A simple bhop but with AUTO Bhop enable on each tile. Vents: Vent opposite of "Dodge Obstacles" inside of the fenced-in area which lead to a vent underneath maincell stairs, which leads to a vent in armory.

Guards have catwalks and advantage points to help them overcome the challenge, and the map contains unique deathgames and secrets. I believe this is a good map to add to our servers.
