When I first saw this, I immediately thought of this: Legit talk, though. It's been great seeing you around the forums and on the servers. Seeing you take up the responsibilities of Vice President around here really made a difference, for real. Position-wise, I don't think anyone could replace someone like you, and if someone did, they'd have some pretty big shoes to fill. You really were someone people could look up to, even if it's just the internet. Seriously, we'll miss you. It's been an illuminating experience with you around. I only wish the best for you.

IT STILL IS. With Simon Says and FRLR out of the picture, I hope to not hear anything else about "THIS GUY IS SO FUCKING CONFUSING" or "I DIDN'T HEAR THE ORDER BECAUSE OF BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH". We'll see how this turns out.

I would warn them not to do it again, because I would consider them as just trying to stir up trouble. That's just me though. Like, sure, they changed it up so that it wouldn't look racist, but they knew what they wanted to convey.

Yeah, I guess I was wrong about my gut feeling that this would work. Ever since the Forced DG rule was enacted, I feel as if a new cycle has formed. CTs send Ts everywhere either by making them shift-walking/crouching there, then, once the Ts reach the specified location, the CTs already killed like a full minute of the round. Afterwards, the CTs just send them to an open space, such as Soccer or Main Cell, but crouching/shiftwalking of course so they can kill another minute and, what do you know, Deathgame Time! I've even seen CTs send Ts to somewhere and just stall the round with minor talk or excuses so they can force the deathgame they so desperately want. Plus, rarely any CT uses the DG on the maps. At least 85% of the DG that are forced consists of either Simon Says or First Reaction Last Reaction, and 100% of the time the game ends with people complaining and yelling freekill, making the admin work harder for us and the PB experience less enjoyable for the many members, regulars, and casual players that join the server on the daily. I really don't want to see any more restrictions added to this rule in order to make it work because it would just result in more things to keep in mind when there are other things we admins could be focusing on. It also just confuses the CTs even more, especially with this influx of new players I've been seeing who have been joining CT who have either no knowledge of the rules or no experience on CT Side. I also understand that people in the PB Evaluation meeting had many creative ideas that could result in making Forced DGs more entertaining and less of a heckle, but, from my perspective, I just don't think it'll happen. At this point, it has become repetitive, dull, and, simply put, just plain annoying. Hopefully, this new rule set that Delirium has mentioned will clear up some, if not all, of the problems surrounding this rule.

[video=youtube_share;TC1r5Kf1New]https://youtu.be/TC1r5Kf1New Super Mario Odyessy looks way too much like Sonic '06 imo lol, but I'm interested. Splatoon 2 looks pretty good as well. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe already making me sweat. They brought the Boo item back and with the new Splatoon crossover, I'm liking where this is going. Overall, Nintendo has put a vacuum on my wallet and there's nothing I can do about it.

I'll be honest, I look weird in yellow now compared to back then. Thanks, guys. I'll do my best. And congrats to the others as well!

I loved the Casual server like it was my son. Plus we had a pretty good community in the server as well. They would always fill it up. Some of them even got on the forums to meet new people. If it was like it was before (24/7 Dust 2), then I'm sure we can get the population back.

Yeah, I've seen it happen before and sometimes the CTs would issue a full freeday just so they can go to spleef and abuse the glitch. I would tell them to stop exposing it for their own good. We would need to get @thorgot in here to fix it since he's the maker of the map and, if anyone has video/demos of this happening, provide thorgot with it so he/she can get more insight.

This thread shifted from one topic to another real quick. As far as the Admin Grace Period goes: I believe this shouldn't be too much of a thing. Admin wannabes have to go through a process that has already been set in stone by the higher ups: 100 posts, 3 months, get to know the community and everyone in it, and optional requirements, such as recommendations from fellow admins. Putting too many requirements, such as the 6 month req you're asking for, is asking for too much, imo. We have lives. We're not robots. We're not going to follow your every request. As mentioned before in this thread, it's rare to even have an admin with such traits like "Constantly on the server". I believe that our requirements are good enough and that they shouldn't be touched. Plus, if you're worried about SAs going off for too long, let the CA+ handle it. As a former CA myself, they know what they're doing and if they have reason to demote someone, then they'll do it. Otherwise, you're just complaining about things that are out of your power. As for the JB situation: Some people say JB is understaffed. Some people say JB is chaotic (I see mostly admins/former admins saying that). JB has its bad days, as well as its good days. For us admins, it may seem like more bad than good considering the fact that we wanna have fun while enforcing the rules. Long story short: I see nothing to complain about as a JB admin, besides people throwing shade at me (but that's inevitable). I can see some things to complain about as a JB player, such as lack of admins or toxic playerbase (but, once again, that's inevitable and I won't touch too much on this. Maybe later.) I've been on the server for long periods of time over this past week and I've been able to keep it under control for as long as I've been there. Sure, things get out of hand and people complain and whine, but I don't really care. My first priority is to help those who need help and do it in as best way as I can. If people want to argue about my decisions in regards of whether this guy needs a slay or if this guy needs a ban, I tell them that if they have a problem with how I handle things in there, they can easily make a complaint on me and we can see each other on the forums. I'm not going to call anyone out, but whoever's reading this, you know who you are. ffs, I spend most of my time on JB since I have nothing to do at this moment in my life. I can't speak for the future, but I try my best to help out. I don't think there should be a punishment NOR incentive for SAs to play JB. They are free to administrate whichever server they want and if you have a problem with that, then you're SOL. We have plenty of other admins if that one admin you're always calling for never comes. Hell, we even give you the option to place a Player Complaint on the forums so you can make a difference. I'm not saying that people depend too much on the staff to fix things, I'm saying that you guys don't see that there is a cornucopia of options out there that you guys can easily choose from. Hopefully, this will all be sorted out soon.

Can't wait for the meeting. It'll be interesting to see what ideas will arise from the JB player base. Hopefully something will be done to make the server more enjoyable to both members and admins alike.

god help us all

A wild SG Elite Member appears. What's up, man. Welcome back to the forums.

Increase the player slots on JB? HELL no The player slots are fine where they are. Increasing the slots too much would result in even more chaos.

I'll prob download the Tinychat app and be there for a while. Gonna hang out with some other people for the New Year.
