? What does our server doing well have to do with anything? There's always room for improvement. He's also taking bits and pieces of a Swedish server's rules, not telling us to literally delete our rules and copy paste theirs. Forgot to mention, if you read through, he brings up some pretty decent ideas. Not sure if I'm going to respond to everything but it's absolutely worth giving attention to this.

@Manny hmu with the first place prize whenever.

Big dick energy right here. Really cool event, I'll try to hop on whenever.

Sorry, can someone explain this whole "changing the core" mindset to me? We hosted a JB Knife Tournament twice now, it completely changes the gamemode. It's literally not Jailbreak anymore, it's just knife fighting. Are events being rejected because they change how TTT normally works? I don't play TTT a lot, so I'm genuinely curious as to why I see this all the time.

I think there's some posts that are useful when they are responding to others and some that are just unnecessary and probably will cause unneeded posting. It should probably just be up to CA discretion on whether or not it contributes anything to the application. Currently though, there is no gray area, people aren't supposed to be responding to each other at all. This rule has been getting completely ignored, even when I've reported a post for it. I have no idea what the deal is with that, but it's extremely confusing.

There can absolutely be harm done if the managers use these polls as a reason to keep or remove a map. If a map is not making the server do well I wouldn't want a bunch of people who like the map voting no for removal then the managers thinking they should keep it. Writing out a post is necessary so we can see points on each side and not "this person wants it to stay, but these people want it removed". It may not seem like a big deal, but the map selection is what makes or breaks a server's success and it's pretty important that you flesh out the map pool very well. Letting managers potentially get the wrong idea from these polls does not help with that.

I went and saw Aquaman, that shit was fire. Other than that, just sat at home with family.

Can we remove these polls on map suggestions and removals? They're useless, they don't provide anything to the managers and it's pretty much the equivalent of having a poll on admin applications. These polls shouldn't be used to decide on additions/removals so there's no point in having them. People should state their opinions in the thread, with valid reasoning.

Merry Christmas everyone, have a good one.

I'm really not seeing the problems here that are worth this being removed. Like I said, unless some testing is done and people generally dislike the map there is no good argument here for removal.

I think the map should undergo personal testing from the SRs or ATs. When we added it, it was because we were looking at other servers and it was one of the top maps on a couple servers. The map also seemed like it would fit our server and from what I could tell it did well when I played it. Saying everyone hates it isn't really an argument and is probably an exaggeration. I can see the argument for removal because of the Warday spot, but is there actually a button that activates it and forces Ts to partake in a Warday? From what I remember, it's literally just a spot that says "Warday" and then it's just a big house. If I'm wrong and there is a button, it can probably be removed really easily with Stripper. Nonetheless, if the map does well on the server, we shouldn't remove it because of some section that has a word for something we don't allow. With how much they play this is on other popular JB servers, I'd suggest some in-depth analysis of whether or not the map is doing well when it's played, because it not being voted for is not a good argument either.

Yes, it's completely fair to call that delaying. Them not getting onto boxes means they aren't directly following the order. No special treatment is required from the CT, you handle it like any other delaying situation.

In no specific order, I liked these: Culture II Lil Boat 2 ye Scorpion Rolling Papers 2 beerbongs and bentleys Goodbye and Good Riddance Stokeley Also didn't see these: Nuthin' 2 Prove - Lil Yachty Wrld on Drugs - Future and Juice Wrld Dummy Boy - 6ix9ine NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES - Metro Boomin Also looking forward to Hoodie SZN when it drops tomorrow, listened to the songs that came out and they were all pretty good.

@Wawa @WavY @Grateful @Kyle @Lokibelowkey @ThRza

This discussion is so hard to follow, if it's going to continue, can someone purge all the dumb and unnecessary posts from here please? A ton of these posts contribute nothing to the discussion.

We should watch Elf and if anyone thinks differently their opinion is wrong.

This isn't an event, this is Manny's huge ploy to advertise his Twitch channel to us all. Cool event though. I'll see if I can stop by.

Shouldn't it just show the basics of Jailbreak and the base set of rules that will probably go unchanged? If you go step by step through all the rules, once one of them changes, the video will be outdated. Probably best to keep it short and sweet and allow people to use it just to understand the main idea of the gamemode they're playing along with the basic concepts if they're coming from another server, like no wardens.

https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=78343 The staff reviews form hasn't been updated in a very long time. Are they still being used? Maybe with the influx of admins we should open those reviews to admins as well. We have admin complaints, but there might be stuff people have to say about admins that don't necessarily call for a complaint for abusing their powers. I'd also like to submit reviews, but some people aren't even on the list in their proper rank yet.

Are ARK and DarkRP still being worked on? Both sections are pretty barren and no updates have been put out about them. I'm not sure if there's stuff going on with them behind the scenes, but unless developments are being made and displayed to the public it looks extremely bad to still be endorsing them in my opinion. I know it doesn't necessarily hurt us, but I also don't think it looks good to have servers we never touch or attempt to make adjustments to in order to improve performance.

We're halfway through December, any updates on this?

Yeah I don't think that's how that works.

@Grateful @ThRza @Kyle I see you guys voted no, but do you have anything to say? I don't think this is going to go anywhere by using a poll.
