I'd like to see this added, we need more maps in the rotation. I'm not too fond of dark maps, but this one was well made. Hope it gets put in!

This is exactly how I go about it, though I don't force someone to drop it. If they refuse, it just makes them highly suspicious, because the last thing I would want to do is leave a fellow inno defenseless by making them drop their gun. I'm a bit more lenient when it comes to the M4A1-S mainly due to the fact that some Detectives prefer a different gun and just drop it all the time, but it still doesn't mean I won't ask if I feel the need to.

That's mainly one of the reasons I play as a T, it makes it so much more enjoyable when you have someone that uses commands and their mic in such a way as Bubblez does. I have to give him a lot of props because usually he has to deal with some CT teammates that don't exactly understand the power of teamwork or they are just relatively new to the server and just jump on CT because guns.

We did, but for some reason it was taken down even though it was always populated.

I think the biggest thing about porting a map from GMod is if the map uses materials from other games such as hl2, hl2ep2, CS:S, ect.. so you have to not only port the normal map but also the materials used from those other source games. From what I've been reading, you basically just extract everything from the .GMA, but as I said there's a good chance it uses materials from the other source games.

The complaint that CT is "too hard" probably stems from people who are just getting overwhelmed by the amount of mic spam and lack of coordination from your CT buddies. I tend to find that if a CT isn't kill whoring, they are wandering around dumbfounded or just not watching the prisoners at all which results in your team getting destroyed by the veterans of the server who use every little trick and secret to their advantage. It's not that CT is hard, you have a clear advantage over the Prisoners but as I said, I feel lack of communication and general teamwork is what makes it seem hard.

You'd honestly be surprised at how many people look for a US hosted casual server that's moderated, I wouldn't even be opposed to it having map rotation and not being just dust 2. Any input on a server other than Casual Dom? I mean, I would of suggested a BR style server but having played on most of them, it just didn't feel like it was made very well.

So I was talking with WaWa in game a bit and he mentioned that most of the servers are practically dead and don't get used so there could be a possibility that this server could make a return. I first started out on the Casual Server and it was by far one of my favorite. I'm not sure why it was removed given it's popularity and how many people played on it. I am constantly looking for a NORMAL Dust 2 Casual server but there's nothing but Comp servers with all map rotations and DM's.. not even good DM's either, all they are is a cluster fuck of horrible spawns. One might say, "But there is a Dust 2 Only Casual in the normal game". Okay sure, if you enjoy playing with closet cheaters and the overly toxic public matchmaking people. I looked through the Archive and didn't see anyone mention the return of this, so I figured I'd bring it up.

From what I gather porting maps isn't overly complicated, and if it's possible to snag this one it would make a great addition

Map Suggestion Full map name ttt_lego Type of map TTT Link to map download https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=295897079 Additional Information A nicely sized map that I think could be a good addition. I remember playing this map on another server and never ran into any real problems. I think the TTT Map pool is lovely in size, but honestly most of those maps never get to see the light of day. Maybe this one can be one of the next favourites to vote for. Screenshots attached No

I tend to keep some things to myself, even if it means that I might die to a T without being able to call them out. I find that it let's them keep the ruse that they are inno so they are not aware that someone actually knows and thinks they are still being sneaky like FLuiD had mentioned. Then you just have to deal with the possible complaints that you "RDM'd", so as always it's a good idea to be recording just so you can cover your own ass.

It's a normal setting in the options. I use this as well, makes it easy to see people when they are talking through fog, some doors, and through certain windows of T rooms. You can see their percentage of health and what equipment they are using. Sometimes it gets a bit buggy and you have to hit esc to refresh the equiptment scan, because you'll see someone drop a pistol on JB as a CT but it still says they have it when they speak, hitting esc will just refresh it so you can see they are not still holding contraband.

Sorry, yes thank you for the help. I had completely forgot I made this post lol.

For some reason I can't get an image to show in my forum signature, no link works with the "insert image" button, so I'm sort of at a loss. Also the insert image button allows two options when doing a normal thread which are "Insert URL Link" or "Direct Upload", but when editing your signature you only get the "Insert URL Link" option. Any help would be appreciated, maybe I'm just an idiot and am overlooking something.

As Dominic said, if they are there to just freekill and not care they will just ignore the rules that are already shoved in your face as soon as you spawn. Personally I've always felt that there should be a CT Whitelist or some restriction for new players to the server from joining CT to prevent all this, but as All T's has said it has to do with how populated the server is most of the time. Most people don't like to play CT, I'm one of them, but if I had to I certainly would just to get the game going. The only issue I have as of right now is the constant mic spam, CT's talking over one another and then when the T's get involved it's just ear rape cancer.

Thank you all for providing your thoughts, I never had any expectations that this would make any headway. I do agree however with the removal of RDM rank, I see people like Pizza and a few others killing people randomly with no excuse other than to raise their rank higher. Honestly it should be a "Just kidding, we put this in just to see who the mass RDMers are" rank and ban the top 10. A bit harsh? I would have thought a punishment like that would be a bit overboard, but after seeing the RDM rank added and seeing how many people just kill all willy nilly is kind of sad. Especially when you are a regular to the server and know the rules well enough that getting to the top of an RDM leaderboard isn't something you'd want to accomplish. And it's not about having too much Karma, It's just a means to use it instead of having it reset, and I mean really the max karma bonus isn't that great to begin with. Also, the detective wouldn't have access to this shop, just Innos. But like I said, it could be anything in the shop. I think this all just stems from there being fewer !menu items to begin with. If anything bring back the Newton launcher R3tro!

Like I said, it doesn't have to be anything overpowering, and it's completely up to the staff as to what an inno could buy. Maybe a Med Pen for like 3k karma. I mean the JB server is unique with it's own rules and what have you, so why can't SG's TTT be unique? It's just here for you all to think about.

So the whole Karma reset got me thinking, perhaps Innocents could have their own shop using the Karma gained. Nothing overpowering mind you, but maybe a chance to buy some things to help innocents survive. It would create a karma sink which would remove the wipe because you could spend the score and would give an incentive to not RDM and earn more Karma. I'm not entirely certain on the source code required to pull it off or if it's even possible. Just figured I'd throw the idea here to get some of your noodles thinking.

But he was in the vent.. Which made him KoS. All evidence pointed to him going into the vent to get the Zeus. By that logic, anyone who uses a teleporter or vent to go to soccer isn't KoS then. So I guess there's been a lot of freekilling lately. Edit: After reading the FAQ https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=71076 and the Rules https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=70859&highlight=Jailbreak+Rules there's nothing saying I have to actually witness them go or be in the vent. Which means, if they obtained a weapon via traveling through a vent and coming back, and I tell them to drop it knowing where the weapon exactly came from. I can technically kill whoever owns that weapon for being in a vent. Now, I'm not trying to argue this and look like a kill whore because I rarely play CT to begin with, but given the fact that I have to use every advantage to dwindle the T's population before a horde of them rebel I think I would have been justified if I had killed him. I think the rules should be updated with this however if this is how the rest of the admins feel, or changed and the whole gun nametag rule be removed. The rules kind of conflict when they are KoS for entering a vent and you can't kill them because you made them drop the gun and read the guns nametag which makes them untouchable because you know who went to go get it.

So I was playing CT on Spy vs Spy, I had ran outside and used the Zeus.. now there's another that can spawn in the vents under cells leading to armory. Am I allowed to kill a T if I tell them to drop the gun and see that it is theirs or who evers and kill them for being in vents. I was told no by a bunch of raging kids on T side but I'm pretty sure I would have been justified because it clearly proved that he was in vents. They told me "you have to see them go into the vents". Which to me sounds pretty fucking stupid since that isn't a rule and if it was, then by that logic people who used vents or teleporters to go to soccer are not KoS because you did not see it happen. I'm just confused, and need some clarity on the subject because it doesn't state in the rules that I have to witness a T go into the vents to kill them. I used the only Zeus on the map that is there all the time I saw a T with another Zeus which meant he or someone else went into the vent Had them drop it, saw who's it was and wanted to shoot them (but restrained), then got raged at by a bunch of angry children. Kill me

Thanks for the shout out All T's, even though I'm deathly allergic to posting on the forums SG is like a second family, and you all are my annoying little brothers and sisters. Like All T's said, let's keep this shit going and good luck to everyone in the giveaway! Also @All Ts you still owe me a box of snicker doodles, so chop chop cornbread.
