Congrats boys. @Alex @Infinityward @Poke come on TS to get trained when you can.

My resolution is 1440x1080 (nah but I could go for losing another 15 pounds, lost 40 last year)

I'm not really sure how good of an idea this would be since just by skimming gameMEs server list, the majority of populated/popular servers for FFA are Dust 2. I personally didn't see anything other than D2 besides 2 office servers.

Bump! Just about a week left to get your submissions in!! Some great prizes for normal style up for grabs this month!

Notes: Recent Event Feedback- S4S Tournament: - Went well, just a long time to set up - (from fantastic) 2 types of events, those that affect gameplay and those that don't that much. What are your thoughts on keeping it on JB or hosting it separately? - (overall) ups and down for either argument, just something to look more into Winter Spectacular: - (from fantastic) Meet expectation? - (General) Yes, nice surprise to see all these maps and they're all well made - (from fantastic) what do you want to see in future events? - vote on models to stay post-event? , fantastic says more about a model in the meeting later, but def a possibility - Thread for model requests in JB section (if one isn't already there) @fantastic @Military_king @idealist Rule changes- - (from fantastic) Just thought it was the best direction forward to remove cardinal directional orders - (general) agree, just go on to say how it can confuse new players, CT abuse it, etc. - A suggestion of anti-cheat system - (from zayne) Confirms an anti-cheat is being tested - someone brings up changing auto-pickup - it's explained it would cause more issues than it would solve General Discussion- - Will gun toss return? - (from fantastic) Working on fixing LRs in the new year \ -will move LR bug thread from SA section to public -Change time to join CT? - (from phoenix) Will cause more harm than good. Disincentives new players from staying - (from fantastic) OG reason to add this was to prevent new players from going right on CT and not having a clue as to what is going on -updates on ghost plugin? - (from fantastic) ghosts could trigger doors, we're waiting on a fix for that. once we have the fix, we can put it back in. -bug with gangs -someone will make bug report going in-depth -reward for hitting certain CT ranks? - not credits. - custom cosmetic or model? skins for different ranks? - possible gun model reward? -maybe do rings for LR partners like DNA in ttt? -babbling about clouds and how its buggy and we need to rework it, something is in the works -any ideas to make our server more unique? -*crickets chirp* -ct queue on hold for more high priority tech fixes -new maps coming? -weapon skins

Bump! Meeting in ~3 hours! Hope to see you all there

WHEN: Sunday, December 29th @ 4PM EST WHERE: SG TEAMSPEAK -> TS.STEAM-GAMERS.NET This meeting will be hosted on TeamSpeak in the Jailbreak channel. The main purpose of this meeting is to gather community feedback and give the regulars of the server a voice and see what we did right and wrong in 2019 and what you guys want to come in 2020. Topics: Recent event feedback (S4S Tourney, Christmas Event) Recent rule change feedback Open floor for discussion/questions We hope to see you all there. If you have something you'd like to share but can not make the meeting, feel free to put it down here and we will discuss that as well. We will be taking notes and recording for those who are interested but can not attend for whatever reason. Have a happy holiday and enjoy some good times with your families and friends - Jailbreak Team

I never said directional orders cause a ton of confusion, I simply asked why would you give a weaker order instead of something easier to follow and you didn't answer that. As far as the minimap goes, a fair chunk of our maps lack a proper minimap and they will be unable to follow directional orders since they have nothing to reference but their teammates. Granted, yes you can just follow your teammates, but you shouldn't have to rely on your teammates to be able to follow an order. Literally, where does he say this? In this thread he says (and I quote) "Sometimes people get glitched, a map has a glitch, or settings interfere with whatever is going on. It's so much easier IMO to just say 'face (insert inanimate object here)'. There's no drama associated with it. While someone's settings or a glitch can be argued, map unfamiliarity is not a valid reason to not follow an order." You must have misread because he is explicitly stating that people having a certain setting or a glitch on the minimap are valid arguments. No? My argument is that if people are unable to follow an order easily because of a setting they have, it shouldn't be allowed. I'm also arguing that there is a better method that's easier on everyone than this that was used for years and I don't understand why we switched to this trend in the first place. Much like one provides support to their arguments in a paper, noting that certain CTs will use this type of order to their advantage to try and get some free kills is simply supporting the argument the better method being superior and what is preferred and generally used.

I have to agree with Fantastic here. Of course, keeping a CT's freedom in mind when trying to restrict something is important but directional orders weren't really trendy until a few months ago. I personally don't mind directional orders themselves, but I can say for a fact they get pretty much abused by kill hungry CTs who just want some free kills from people who don't know there's a compass or don't have one based on their setting for radar. I think going forward it may be better to keep it how it was for the most part since I began playing here and base it off inanimate objects like Caution and Fantastic have said. So since you agree that ordering Ts to look at an object is a better order, why would you give an intentionally worse order that could cause more confusion? In your example, (say the map was electric revamp) would it even be a reasonable order to have "All Ts one step out of your cells, face soccer and freeze" since you can't actually see soccer from your cells? Now sure about 90% of players would face the right direction but there are also other objects you could say that would make more sense such as "face big cage", "face your cells", "face vip cell", or "face the vending machines". How are we overexaggerating the direness of the order? It doesn't seem like this is an awful problem and this thread was made literally to discuss if they were a valid order because an admin said they weren't (via my word, and mistake). It was brought up by posters in the thread discussing the validity of the orders since we found out that some people's compass always points north, making following directional orders much harder for them simply based on their own preference of how they want their minimap. IMO if someone has to change a setting based on preference to follow an order, it should not be allowed. On top of this, you're right it's not too hard but as I said earlier it gets abused a lot on the server. Not naming names, but some people like to warning shot people the very instant they see them not facing the right direction and will be rather quick to give the second shot and claim they gave them the right amount of time to obey.

In the future, please go here to report players and follow the guidelines. In the case of this guy, do you happen to have his steam ID?

I'm personally not opposed to hosting a long terraria event as long as we have some sort of structure in mind. What we did today was rather disorganized and didn't really have an end goal. If we all go in with an objective and that is the purpose of the event, I think this idea could have some merit. I don't think a server is really justifiable but I think having a long event over one day (2-3 hour?) would be more of an option.

Ok, I'm going to go ahead and take the blame on this one. The way @Snootch described this to me sounded like something had broken with the updates we rolled out with jailbreak with the minimap breaking with EVERYONE. But if the problem only applies to people with a static minimap, there's still a portion of players who use a static minimap. If people have to change a setting, which should be a player's preference and only a player's preference, to comply with an order I believe it becomes an unreasonable order and should be disallowed.

Correct.

Max Lifts: Bench- 195 Deadlift- 385 Squat- 185 (I have a bum knee D: ) Leg Press- 480 imma give yall one of my workout routines so yall can get swole.

As a team we all tested this and decided it won't be added at this time. It was on the server before and wasn't played too often and was removed because it was bugged. Rejected, thanks for the suggestion though.

Here is something directly from the Jailbreak rules:

There is a way to do this, but I don't think it's clearly stated anywhere. Here's how you do it: 1. Click on the post number in the thread 2. Copy the post number displayed in the URL 3. Do the code (bracket)QUOTE=(Person's name);(post#)](copy and paste text you want to quote)

I'll give my top ten off the top of my head. These are in no specific order.

@R A W The maps are not dark and gloomy like the Halloween one, they are bright and merry As far as this thread goes, pertinent information about the Christmas event for JB can be found in THIS THREAD. If you have more questions, feel free to drop them in that thread.
