Report all issues here.

At the end of the weekend I'll kind of get the next draft of the schedule finished with who is playing and who is backups. You'll still be able to sign up through Wednesday. After Wednesday, I will lock the schedule and if you haven't signed up you'll have to show up to play if there is space available. Again the schedule is not something that will be set in stone, some games may end early and other may run long. Depends on how it goes. The schedule kind of helps give me a direction to go towards and to better pace myself and try to keep some variety.

Just like ZE, I have moved TTT on to the dedicated server. Its current IP is: 70.42.74.162:27016 If there are any issues please post them here: http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70323

Upon reviewing the settings there is no easy way to allow anyone lower than CA to edit the title on threads. So unfortunately, you'll have to contact a CA+ to get any Title of a thread to be changed. Sorry.

Ok, I'll try to be nice about this. Yes the main/public channels are set up this way, but not private channels. The funny thing is it was never our intention to have more people using private channels than the public ones. That is why the private channels that get created are temporary. Honestly, I didn't know that all public channels are setup that way and they shouldn't. I am half tempted to fix that oversight. (With the server moves I am overseeing currently, it will be fixed when I do TeamSpeak). Now for me to brutally honest here, (I am reminded to explicitly state that this is only my opinion and no one else in management as people tend to think I always speak for the whole board) if you are able to determine the quality of the codec without looking you got the hearing of a fucking bat. I feel pretty confident in a blind test, no one would be able to tell the difference in audio quality. If you can, I'd almost guess 9 out of 10 its on the users end and not ours. Let me be obvious here and say its TS, we aren't operating a fucking state of the art movie theater with dolby HD 10 channel surround sound. So since there really isn't too much difference in the audio quality that everyday normal people are going to care about, we decided not to go out of our way to make private channels special. Like I said, the normal channels actually should not have been set up that way and that will be fixed when I move TeamSpeak over on to our dedicated server. That was an oversight on our part.

I'll take a look at some settings and see if we can help facilitate that process. It may not be do able but I'll take a look Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Does it save the change if you make one in the title box? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Can you show me what you see when you hit the advanced button that was suggested above by lampshade? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I think you've misunderstood my entire opinion on this matter. My point here is that we don't need to have a rank for people to do this. Yeah other communities do it, but that doesn't mean we have to. Again, I was expressing my opinon in this matter. Which is part of my job around here. Sometimes I endorse ideas that I think have real merit and then I'll be vocal about ideas I am not excited about. I'm not afraid to tell someone their idea isn't the best. However, I try to point out where the idea needs improvement most of the time. Which does not turn me to be a pessimistic, yes my view point is negative and not in your favor, but I'm far from a pessimistic. My point wasn't to shit on your idea, it never is. I am not against a reward system. If we come up with some form of reward other than a rank, I will more than likely back it. However, just handing out ranks is something I do not support (I obviously am not speaking on behalf of the others on the board).

Since its a pretty simple game it will be a filler game.

Just my two cents, I don't think a rank is necessary. A recognition I am fine with, but we got so many damn ranks around here its a pain in the ass to design the website. Also, anyone deserving of anything like this IMO would be required to submit more than just one map and mapping takes time. If someone is dedicated enough to do this fair game, but I doubt any one who is lurking here has the time/dedication/skills to do so.

Just note the 3:00 PM I have a special team already lined up for this game.

Go spend $1.79 on this and we'll play this too: http://store.steampowered.com/app/512250/

Well maybe they'll get to what they are supposed to do tomorrow. Sorry for the delay and the potential unexpected outage.

Lol yeah we can't use the servers page just yet. That's what I am working towards to fix Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

At some point tomorrow, do not have specific time of when, the ZE server will go down unannounced. The host has to make a change the box so we can go forward with some testing. When someone notices, please let an BD know then say it on the shoutbox and here. That way we don't get flooded with the same message.

The good news is that we've been running the server for about 2 days and not a single crash or any bad reports. Next step will be adding other servers over and making sure they run well in concert. I'll be moving another server over mid-week.

I'll check my e-mail and see if they sent me the update link. It is going to be really short cause its still pretty early in developement, but you can see what goes on and what not. Would probably be a quick in between games kind of thing where I'm waiting for something. Speedrunners will be one of those games where if we need filler we'll throw it in there if we got the people for it for sure. I may end up switching a few things around as well.

I believe it does I'll do a test tomorrow afternoon and make sure. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

You also cannot compare it to the Rust server as we have a special arrangement in place where it doesn't compete with our other servers when it comes to resources. At this point we have no plan to expand into other CS:GO servers.

Its why I want to use Team Viewer for the Extra Life event. :-P

As many of you have been told recently, we are looking to move our servers to a new Dedicated Server box. We have been working the past 2-3 weeks on this move and now we are ready for the first phase of testing. As of 5:00 PM ET today, the ZE server is now on the new Dedi. If you had our server in your favorite servers, you'll notice no change in how you need to connect to it. However, if you did not, you'll need to connect via 70.42.74.162:27015. This IP is only going to be temporary while we do some testing. I hope to only have this temporary IP for a week and then it will switch back. So what else do you need to know? Well if you notice any issues of any sort, you'll need to report it ASAP. Use this thread for reporting issues: http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70257 If the server crashes, you need to let an AO+ know IMMEDIATELY. The server will not restart itself at this current moment. So if it does crash, it could be down for some time. We are working on methods to help this, but at the current time we will need your help on this. Thanks for understanding that there could be minor inconveniences while we are in this testing phase and through the transition. But we are hoping this should help your in-game experience.

Doesn't the steam broadcast stuff lag? If its delayed by anything more than 25 seconds most of these jackbox things may not work as the timer is 30-45 seconds.

For security reasons I'll have to be running the games. The halloween sale is next week so I'll probably pick up quiplash, drawful2 and jackbox 2. Jackbox 3 doesn't look as good imo. In the other thread someone (@Thompson and @Stunningjam) asked about SpeedRunners. I do have it, I have it as a back up game if we need a game to fill time or if we swap things around. Also, at some point in the event I will (hopefully) be streaming an Alpha build of Hello Neighbor. There were some issues with it running on Windows 7, I'll do some testing and make sure its stable before confirming it, but it is also an Alpha build so these things tend to happen. There are still a ton of slots for games to sign up for, I will be posting the final version of the schedule on November 2nd. So you'll have until then to get signed up. EDIT: looks like I'll be good to do the Hello Neighbor playthrough...its gonna be interesting
