I would assume we would dish out the same graphics for everyone to use on their stream for consistency sake, but there wasn't really anything said about that. I will push to get some graphic format ideas going in the next ET meeting, and of course, we will need cooperation from the media team. As far as who is streaming where and what, I'm gonna dish it over to @Strayyz or @Ned for a clearer explanation than I could give. Sit tight.

I can understand your point of view but I think even though the Ts do win if the players are good, the system we have now is solid as is. The CTs get one nade because it's meant to simulate a real retakes situation where CTs may not have full nades because of them using them over the duration of the round. Also, every retake isn't easy, and any CT team good or bad doesn't win every retake. The CTs across all maps win between 35-45% of rounds. I think that's a pretty good balance for this scenario. This is just my 2c, so stand by for a more meaningful statement from a retakes AT.

You were one of the few admins to be here when I first joined SG and when I came back to the community. It's a shame to see you go, thank you for the contributions you made to this community during your time here. Best of luck in your real-life ventures.

It's not just me. This wouldn't have gone anywhere without the support of the fellow events team members and higher-ups. This is a solo idea turned into a big team effort. Thanks nonetheless

WHEN Saturday, October 12th @ 6PM WHERE MiniGames IP: mg.steam-gamers.net:27016 MAPS scoutzknivez_merrychristmas scout_india scout_spire_b1 ScoutzKnivez_Mario It's as simple as the name sounds! It's just scouts, knives, and a lot of fun! If enough people come, we may do some rounds of admins vs players! Hope to see you all there! Thanks to the ATs of MG, @Zayne and @Greggy G, we will also be having a 3x credit multiplier during this event! While you are here you might as well join our steam group!

(Sorry in advance for my grammar, on my phone.) That’s the thing really, we don’t know the absolute result of any of this because we don’t have any data to pull from on our servers. I was just throwing out my thoughts on how it should be implemented, and honestly getting something tested (no rush, because a less buggy, more complete plugin is far more worth the wait) will give us more answers than anything else will right now. To address your rebuttals, I can understand your frustration, but what difference will it make from where we are right now? People constantly bitch and whine in JB, it’s just the way things are, unfortunately. The goal of a warden system is to establish more order within the server and make it more manageable for the common player. On your 40 minute point, it takes all of 20 minutes in the server to even get a solid basic understanding of the rules, and general grasp of how the game mode plays out on our server. I understand barely anyone really goes through the rules and reads them as a new player, but even so if they ask in chat or make a mistake, they’re generally lead in the right direction or corrected by people who know the rules. Also goes to the point of time != quality. I’ll try and edit this when I’m back in my dorm after I’m done my last class in a couple hours in case I missed something.

(ftfy) Much like everyone else is saying, this is completely possible but completely not feasible. Not only would this put an insane amount of stress on whatever poor system would have to do this job, but there's no hard drive in the world that would be able to handle this day-to-day. For the sake of concrete numbers: A raw, uncompressed video recording (with audio) of 1280x720 can take up a maximum of 232 GB / hour. When you record something, for instance on shadowplay, this footage is uncompressed until you upload it somewhere or edit it in external software. That means a computer would have to keep up to around 5.5 Terabytes of video at once (At your suggested 24-hour intervals). Unless the video was recorded without audio and even then, this idea simply isn't feasible. There are options for the players to get rule-breakers taken care of in a time-effective manner such as: 1. Recording footage and making a player complaint: - There are excellent recording options for an individual such as ShadowPlay, OBS, and I'm pretty sure dxtory and fraps are still out there for lower-end PCs. 2. !calladmin will alert admins in discord, and yes there admins that will look for alerts in discord

Off of what @roux said, I think that if it were possible to have a mixed system on our servers, I feel that would not only make our warden system unique from other popular JB servers but also allow for a solid system more or less free of abuse. In a perfect world, I think that the first round of every map should be pretty much without a warden and just kinda chaotic as it is now since I don't really see a fair way of picking warden for the first round. In the first round, the CTs that want to be warden join the warden queue, and the CTs vote on who they want to be warden for the next round. A player would not be allowed to rejoin the queue that was already warden that map until the current queue was clear of players to allow everyone who wants to be warden get a fair shot at it. I don't think having a time cap will be necessary since that will limit some players that are newer, whether they abide by the rules or not, from being able to fully experience the servers and I don't think that's right. If they are abusing warden or breaking the rules in general, they will be promptly punished.

Sorry to hear you got snitched out by your T mate, but: @Trazz describes it perfectly. Even the rare times I hop on JB now if I say where someone is, I'm lying to try and throw off the CTs, and perhaps give notice to the other rebelling Ts to know where to hunt the CTs down.

Congrats to all! Can't wait to see what is in store!

I can agree with this pretty much. I feel for larger maps it can't hurt to test a possible minute extension so people have a longer time to do map games such as climb, surf, etc. I think there are cases where extending round time on certain maps can both help and hurt. For instance, on larger maps this allows players to do more, and to have more time to figure out how to rebel and gives more time for cts to give orders. On the contrary, this can also lead to (like you said) just delaying of rounds, which is why testing is needed. As I said, I think this would be a good thing to test because I really feel this is something we can't truly judge the impact until we actually do it. I believe this is small enough of a change to be able to collect data without much interruption in the normal way of things. If we like it, keep it and if not, then just keep it the way it has been. If people do this, they will promptly be punished. If there are no admins on, as @TheZZL said, make a player complaint.

I steam messaged samon and told him to add urp, so I hope by now all of that is taken care of. @Takuto was referencing an event from long ago that @neverlucky won but didn't receive his reward for a long time (he may have never gotten it, unsure to the current details).

Anyways, back to me. I can't wait for part 4!! Excellent playlists @Casual @English

Thank you all for coming out! Besides a couple of rough patches trying to get everything going, I think the event went pretty well! Thank you to the participants for being well-behaved and causing little trouble. Now, what you all really care about, the results: 1st Place: @Samón 2nd Place: @Military_king 3rd Place: @Legendary Kano @Samón Will be receiving an AWP skin from @urp (thanks for that), and the ultimate bragging rights. Thank you again @Manny , @Military_king , @Poke , and @urp for help with the event.

This is gonna be a CRAZY event, can't wait. I'll go now

BUMP! This event is coming up THIS SATURDAY! Be sure to come out and have a good time! Hope to see you all there.

I haven't really read through other's responses yet, but I'll add my thoughts to this personally. I don't think it'd be a good idea to bring back the 100 post rule, as not only are there good admins who have under 100 posts but also I think this change wielded positive results. There have been more admins to administrate in the servers and more times than not, they do their job more than adequately. On top of this, many admins who are accepted already have close to, if not 100 posts. There are players on our less popular servers who may want to be an admin on there, but not necessarily be active on the forums and that should be okay. A number of posts should not define the quality of a player and their ability to potentially administrate.

No. From our FAQs: Q- Is no jumping implied when ordered to shift or crouch walk? A- No. If CTs do not want Ts jumping, they must specify that.

As an Eagles fan, I would feel BAD for Cowboys fans if AB went to the Cowboys. He is a malignant tumor to any franchise.
