  1. I always supported longer cooldowns between maps is beneficial to keep the server fresh with maps and not have the same maps on repeat 24/7. I remember the days where it was the rotation of the 2 razer maps, vipinthemix, summer jail, and undertale all day long. It was unbearably stale, and not fun, especially with both og razer and razer revamp having no minigames to play making it a literal hell for CTs to try and run, which is why you tend to see really heavy T-sided ratios on those maps. I think we have a good balance where we are now.
  2. @Creten@miche @3niLETS FUCKIN GOO also @Touchycongrats!!! welcome to the team (sorry )
  3. Never really spoke to you but I wish you well sir. Best of luck in all your future endeavors. Thank you for the time you put in here over the years, I hope those who you shared time with here remember nothing but the good times. Godspeed, comrade.
  4. Due to a combination of server issues and general loss of interest, I am calling the event here. Thank you to everyone that came out, it was at least worth a shot. I still recommend trying this game on your own though. It's great to kill time with
  5. Event STARTING!!! JOIN THE EVENTS CHANNEL IN DISCORD!!! LETS GOOOO
  6. One hour. Be there.
  7. In relation to what @TheZZL said here in a different thread: I am making this thread to be a home for discussion about the state of round times on the Jailbreak server. Please share your thoughts below on how you feel about the state of round times (some maps having 7 minute times and some being the classic 5 minute time) and how they should or shouldn't be changed in the future. Everything following this will be my own opinion: I think the state of round times should be returned to how it was for years and years since I first started playing. I think there are heavy benefits to keeping all the maps at 5 minutes long per round. It keeps the game exciting, fresh, and fast paced (for all of us ADHD heads out there :P) . While the argument of longer round times on larger maps so there can be a larger pool of games being played is a very valid argument, I feel like it just doesn't apply as heavily anymore. Love it or hate it, the server just doesn't hit the same pops that it used to. In the summer if we hit the 35-45 pop of days past on a daily basis, the argument for longer round times on larger maps makes a genuine return. But, with population peaking in the mid-high 20s now, I think a return to the 5 minute round time is the best way to retain even that population and build back up to the numbers of days past (hopefully). On top of this, I feel like the maps that give 7 minute rounds just kind of drag because CTs kind of give generally repetitive orders and that can lead to major boredom on large maps where it's just 2 minutes of 2 Ts hunting down 1 CT. I think the idea of a lockout of maps based on pop is an intriguing idea. There are clear ups and downs of it. Some ups include keeping smaller pops confined to smaller maps for quick and fun rounds and keeping the game fresh. But, some drawbacks include good maps from being played in the case x pop is never hit. Perhaps a workaround of this could be not allowing the maps to come up via normal vote but through admin nomination like on ZE?
  8. Bump boys!! Event is TOMORROW!! Get hype!!! Let's prepare to make this bread
  9. Honestly speaking, there are some valid points in this thread, but there are also things being said that are a bit of a stretch. The logos/banners being changed to the rainbow flag for this month is an unspoken way of being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Of course there are plenty of instances of homophobic and transphobic actions done in this community. As bad as it sounds... it's the internet. There will be people who gain balls of steel and think they're funny or express their deep implicit biases against those in minority groups/people who identify outside of the majority. This is not to say what has/is happening is excusable or should happen. There is no room for hatred in this world. I am someone who identifies within the LGBTQ+ community, and just from growing up on the internet, I will still use the f-slur or use "out of date" terms without thinking. It's not something I'm proud of, and it is something I want to change, but that's not a line of thinking everyone holds. To be honest, I feel like things like transphobia and homophobia should be treated how we treat racism here. Ban it in public spaces such as open discord chats, forums, etc. If someone says it once or twice in game, just do your best to stomach the fact that someone is not that great of a person. If it continues to a point of repetitive use or if it's being used to target someone, report it. I don't think I've ever seen a report on someone for the use of these slurs before, so feel free to be the first. If you want to see the change, lead by example. I have no room to virtue signal because of the things I have said in the past (and even in the recent-ish present), but the only way to see these changes is to show the younger crowd that it's not funny or cool to use these terms anymore.
  10. I made this banner myself, but I must thank @fozilla mirefox@euro and @Strayyzfor the artistic direction on this! What is OpenTTD? OpenTTD is a transport tycoon where you start as a small transport company and you do your best to grow into a total transport and resource mogul. You compete against other people which can be either AI or Human Players! How do I get OpenTTD? OpenTTD is totally FREE!!!! You can download it on Steam through this link. There are plenty of tutorials online of how to get into this game, such as this one here. When and Where? This time there won't be any unexpected cancellations, so this one is happening for sure! On Friday, June 4th from 3pm-6pm I will host a server and will provide information how to join when the event takes place. All you need as players is a stable internet connection. Any Rules? Do not cheat or exploit. The goal of the game is to beat out your opponents and inevitably take down other companies, but don't do it in a game-y way. This event is for fun and for causal players, don't ruin the experience for others for a quick win. Most if not all of us playing will be new to the game so I'm hoping it'll be filled with funny mistakes. We will also be hosting this event through our Discord in the events channel.

    OpenTTD event.
  18. OpenTTD

    Yo, I just noticed that a month ago the game OpenTTD was released on Steam! If you guys don't know what this game is, it's sort of understandable because it's a game from the late 90s/early 2000s. It's a transport tycoon and it's completely free. A literal potato could run it, and it's tons of fun to just mess around in. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1536610/OpenTTD/ Here's a link to the store page if you're interested! I highly recommend this game and at least learning the basics if you're interesting in playing with some friends. As I said, it's FREE, and hosting multiplayer for something like an event (*cough cough*) would be super easy.
  19. congrats bud
  20. I am not a huge fan of fast food but generally speaking I will make two exceptions on rare occasions: Five Guys- Little cheeseburger with lettuce with a water Popeyes- Chicken Sandwich no mayo. I put hot sauce and cheese on it at home.
  21. Event is over!! Thank you everyone who came out to play. I hope everyone had a good time! It looks like everyone would like to go again in expert mode sometime soon! So stay posted for an impromptu event for that in the future!
  22. EVENT IS HAPPENING! JOIN UP FOR SOME TERRARIA FUN!
  23. Yo yo yo!!! Event is today at 3pm EST!! See you all in 5 hours : -)
