i got linked this and want to drop some knowledge successful gaming community -> focus on game none of this stuff about sg politics matters at all, just keep people around who actually play and do things to help the servers and eventually you will have a good community back when I was here, people who helped were drove out because of politics, thats why we are here now! (like me :D) guess that number of posts to become admin wasnt so arbitrary after all. and people who didnt help much would get promoted (popularity contest meme), further frustrating the ppl who did. whole thing is super simple, has been the whole time, no need to write 10 essays about it i wish you all good luck, treat your volunteer workers who do work for free right, and things will probably go pretty well, just think about all the talent youve dumped over time lol small edit i thought was funny, back when i was around i wont pretend like i was some genius helper god, but I went to college for computer science now, and as of literally right now I make sourcepawn plugins everyday almost! im sure there is some reality where the plugins i write would be for SG, js

Not going to write an essay nor am I going to respond to anyone who decides to drop an essay about my post js! The higher ups of this community have always been and will continue to be a problem in this community as long as they see their job as just "management". People who do not do anything outside of "management" (telling volunteers what they can and can't do despite not helping do anything) will never work in any capacity and will always lead to useful people leaving and passion being lost. The people at the top of a community must at almost all times be an active part of the community and do something other than management or else you will inevitably come to a negative outcome since the people carrying the community are not the ones in charge, which stifles progression and limits changes that need to be made. There is and always has been a very strong copium going around in the higher up echo chamber about this topic (coming from a former AO which was server manager and IA combined), and as you can see in this thread when people request change it is seen as them "hating" and then posts get deleted about it, honestly just not a great way to do things. I get that its hard to have a lot of passion for something, work hard on it, work your way up the ranks, and then realize you've lost passion. However, if you guys can't overcome your own mental blocks on this and realize the torch needs to be passed then again these problems will always exist.

Yeah i figured out a way to save the community here i think

Is the origin/intended use of the word really what's important here? Or is it instead how the majority of society views the words usage? It seems to be the latter in most cases because people simply do not care about the history of the word, they care about how it makes them or others feel when used in certain ways. A words meaning adjusts with the times and groups of people consider that above whatever it meant in 1950. Mental retardation was a medical term coined in the 1950s however its use was actually replaced in Rosas Law. "Rosa's Law is a United States law which replaced several instances of "mental retardation" in law with "intellectual disability". It passed the Senate unanimously on August 5, 2010, then the House of Representatives on September 22, and was signed into law by President Barack Obama on October 5."

Wtf? This disrespect is honestly very uncalled for and I did NOT laugh at this. Not cool man.

Yeah logician and fucking dumbass are pretty different things

this thread looks weirdly similar to the one All ts made

That's exactly why you're in the meme. #Wawa4LG

What’s the point of spending money to make a number that does nothing go up? I’m genuinely asking. @Snowy @tides

Honestly, players shouldn't have the pistol anyways. The only thing it does is annoy people and slow down their speed gains.

This map sucks and it always has the only reason I didn't remove the mao is because the Jesus song was fuckin hilarious but now it's a dead meme.

Agreed, I changed a bunch of models on MG for the same reasons. This could potentially be extremely confusing and has been a problem in the past on JB since Ts with blue models could just run behind real CTs and knife them. @All Ts did this for months. I have no idea why this would be added to the T side.

You're officially part of the MC G. Ruff gang. Congratulations. I look forward to getting to see me play Hallmond and be in this bitch.

To clarify I was talking about flavored vape juices rather than tobacco, I don’t think the FDA is going after flavored tobacco where I live and I could be wrong, but that’s why I made the point that banning flavors would kill the vape industry which is saving lives. I’m also under the impression that the FDA hasn’t issued bans on these products, they have simply threatened Juul and other companies with bans if they don’t fix their shit. So Juul is making their pods only available to people who give them their Social security to verify they’re age. I could be wrong but that’s what I read and I’ll probably do more research later since it seems there are mix ups going around and I’d personally like to know what’s going to happen with all of this. Edit: Just read the most recent article from the FDA on the sale of flavors for vape products, he proposed that they revisit their compliance policy and change it so that all flavored products other than mint, menthol, and tobacco be sold in places that require age verification and ups their online sale verification. I support this move fully, as long as they plan to do the same with normal combustible and non combustible tobacco products. It is absolutely retarded that it would be easier for some kid to go buy a mango swisher rello than it would be to buy a bottle of mango vape juice. This isn’t happening quite yet, so I was correct about the juul pod situation, they are making their changes in verification by themselves however they are only doing it because of the threat of ban from the FDA, which now is no longer a threat, however their products will most likely already be in compliance with their new policy if it passes through like it’s being described.

Most of the nicotine addicted kids will just buy fake/cheaper pods from vape shops and gas stations. They could also move over to refillable pod systems where you buy much cheaper empty pods and then fill them with your own juice. Juul has created a massive problem that they cannot fix at this point. All the other vape companies started putting out similar products that are much much better than the Juul, so most people are just going to start using those instead. Edit: To the argument that banning flavors will make it so kids won’t vape, I personally don’t think this argument is going in the right direction. I realize that kids starting vaping and haven’t previously smoked is a growing problem however if we kill the vape market you taking away the most popular cigarette alternative of all time. It might stop kids from starting vaping in the first place however banning flavors will most likely over time kill the vape market which I think is negative. There are many people out there that are using vaping as a much healthier alternative to cigarettes, saving many lives across many countries. Trying to stop kids from vaping should be more of a higher verification thing to get these products instead of banning the flavors. That’s exactly what Juul is doing, they are making it almost impossible for kids to get pods. Just my take on the whole issue being a retarded vapor myself.

We cannot really give you a yes or no answer to this question since it really comes down to the admins to decide whether its intentional or genuine accidents. Just want to clarify something to you also, in your question it seems you're implying that if someone has a lot of accidental headshots, even if blatantly accidental, that if they do it a lot they would be banned for it which isn't the case. Said player could just have terrible aim, like @Ned for example , or they play the server for hours on end every day so it happens more. However, obviously if someone is having an "accident" every round then it's most likely freekilling so you should call an admin if you're not sure or record it and make a player complaint. For us to ban someone who is headshotting when they aren't supposed to be and playing it off as accidental, again it has to be blatantly obvious it is accidental for us to ban them. I do appreciate your interest in tryng to get rule breakers out of the sever though, I appreciate your post and I hope this helped.

I did eventually repitch the idea i think, again it got shot down by some idiot who i also remember being @delirium

The alleged “cat” in my avatar was a corgi this whole time

The first point to make is we have tried the best version we could dream up of forced death games with our server before and it didn't work out at all. It never achieved the purpose it was added for, and it was usually abused by CTs who just want a stat boost. For forced deathgames to even come close to working with SG JB, we had to add tons of extra rules, which is hard for everyone to remember and makes the server harder to come into as a new player. Overall the community we have likes rebelling more than they like getting killed off by forced deathgames, so it was removed shorty after it was implemented. Another point to make is that we have the LR plugin to slim down round times for the stickler Ts who don't like rebelling or are waiting too long to do so, if your goal is to shorten round time then I'd suggest that you dream up and suggest changes to that plugin instead. Since you mentioned no one wants to play death games, I want to expand on it. If no one wants to play death games, why would we force our players to do it? The majority of the server usually doesn't like playing deathgames because they like rebelling, so theres really no valid reason for us to force them to play deathgames. People wouldn't like the gameplay and it would lead to less population. To your point about maps, the managers of this server have always tried to avoid maps full of heavy deathgames for that exact reason, it doesn't work with our server. To reiterate @Casual's point, the maps that are most popular on our server have a lot of places to go like pool, soccer, disco, vip, etc, which is what works the best with our server. Our JB server is based around deathmatchy, T sided maps with tons of secrets. P.S : Removing collision will probably never happen.
