@Krumzie - (soundboard) "You're the best big brother I could've ever asked for!" @Error. - "Is that Charlie?!"

Suggestion: Shawshank Redemption Doesn't really matter since I'll most likely be busy with moving into my dorm, but good luck with the event bud! Glad to see you already getting to work.

Since Darnias is a former admin, I'm gonna go with trust the man, @TheBigApple . On top of that, it's important that player reports are for everyone to see for the sake of transparency. Admin complaints should be more private as they are the ones who are supposed to be keeping the server clear of the type of people that get reported and banned. If your idea was implemented where everyone could see the reports but not who wrote them, it would for sure start a bunch of rumours and drama of "OMG I'm sure that he/she did this oml look how dumb" type dumb stuff. I can understand your curiosity but if something goes down that warrants a legitimate report, you'll most likely hear about the consequences if it's not an admin strike. Granted, I'm not an admin so I wouldn't 100% know this stuff, but this is just my two cents. Edit: The higher up staff on the server are very good when it comes to sharing serious events that the broader community should learn about. If a staff member is demoted or banned, they will tell us or you'll see it for yourself. Edit pt2: No. just... no.

(does anybody even read these besides me?)

Zoning is terrible, textures are awful, map is an overall mess. Also what @Dominic mentioned above is an issue.

As John and BoM said, Ikea is great for desks. My parents use this for work/home use and say it's great and recommended it to family friends. If an IKEA isn't local to you, I suggest this, if you don't mind a corner desk. It has a space for USBs, and a hole for some wires to go through for cleaner management. If you're out of luck on IKEA and don't like corner desks, I suggest the same one that Strayyz recommended. (This one)

Congrats to everyone!

I can rock with that. The focus was meant to be on older maps, but we could also maybe bring up some maps that were left in the dust as kinda "meme" games like office, agency, and maybe a few others. I wasn't aware that was done a few months ago as I was gone. Thanks for that, @drippy. I'll strikethrough the ones that aren't Aztec. EDIT: With further information, I think it would be worth it to give these maps another chance as this instance was several months ago, and chances are this time around it's gonna be with a new crowd of people and go better than before.

I think it would be cool if for a week, the scrim server used only the old versions of maps, and have a throwback week. Maps that should be included: Old Dust II Old Cobble Old Train Old Inferno Old Nuke Old Vertigo and some older maps that are no longer in the map pool such as: Italy Assault Aztec Other suggested maps: Seaside Office This would be neat to see how maps have changed or laugh at how some maps were removed for good reason. I feel like this could be a good time for old and new players. Please leave feedback and tell me if I missed any maps that would be good for this!

As I suggested in one of my earlier posts, I think it would be a good idea to have it so that CTs must start at the lowest speed, and can increase speed every 5 seconds until max speed / 45 seconds into the death game (whichever came first).

Okay, but this jump rope issue I have literally never seen before the last couple of days. This is just one of the few factors of why the new meta on JB creates a dull and repetitive environment. There are other factors in the new "meta" that create a dull and repetitive server such as bound chat orders becoming more and more common, CTs giving free days with restrictions to not make it fun or tricky to rebel, but almost as a pseudo-war-day just to farm kills. I feel like you're really exaggerating this issue acting as if this issue is killing the server on a regular basis and has been an issue for weeks/months when this is a FRESH issue that will most likely find a solution sooner rather than later.

After looking through the rules discussion sub-forum over the last year for jailbreak-related discussions, the only thing I found that would even maybe relate to this was a discussion on if CTs had to warn Ts if they were starting a death game. In the end, Fuze basically called it a "grey area" of the rules and will be discussed soon. Point being, death games seem to have a big "grey area" surrounding them. Directly from the rules: "CTs must allow the map death-game to function as intended and must not interfere at all." By definition the CTs ARE are allowing the death game to work as intended, as there was a setting intended to go that fast. I think CTs starting jump rope on the highest speed on maps like spy vs spy, clouds, etc. is a massive dick move, but it is allowed by the rules, albeit by a grey area. I personally think there should be some sort of rule that requires CTs to start on the slowest speed and be able to increase speed every 5 seconds until it hits maximum speed, or the 45 seconds for the death game have elapsed. The CTs who abuse this (not naming names, but they know who they are) are cheesing the system by doing this and I don't really think it's fair to the Ts. Until a proper rule is or isn't set up, just be prepared to jump ASAP, I guess.

From my own experience, most people in a smaller server will stick around for a full wipe, and then need a break for a few weeks as to not burn out on the game. Rust is a really fun game, I just don't feel the server would have much longevity or consistent population. Now, depending on the pop we would more than likely have people who were not part of the community join and potentially become active members of the community. There are ups and downs of this idea, but I think it should be given a shot on a trial run basis of a month if that was possible. It could help grow the community further, but could also flop and get pretty much no pop after the first wipe.

Absolute legend right here. Thanks @Darnias !!! keep it up man!

Time to livestream grind to rank 1 CT NA wait... that’s illegal

Something i’ve actually thinking about recently, though a minute change that wouldn’t have too much of an impact on most CTs would be implementing a rule that !fo orders must be done on mic. This allows players without mics to still play CT, but just lack the ability to give first order, which sometimes isn’t even used. I feel like this would be great for testing the waters with this concept and see how the server goers take this change. CTs without a mic can still give orders and function as a normal CT, but just can’t give first order. As someone who is a proponent of allowing CTs without microphones I think this is still fair, as !fo is meant to grab the Ts attention and set a tone for the round. This may sound a bit far fetched but rounds where !fo is a chat order tend to turn out more boring or end in about 40 seconds flat. TLDR- No !fo chat orders would be a seemingly fair testing ground for finding a balance for those who want CTs to have a mic and those who don’t care if CTs have mics. Please share your thoughts on this as I think it could genuinely have a shot of going smoothly if implemented. Also excuse any weird typos, typed this on my phone and will fix when I wake up.

This would be a unique map, not an event. It's not being rude, it's just the truth. They're not saying it's a bad idea or something that wouldn't work, it's just more of a map idea compared to an event idea. Also no offence, but this just sounds like every jailbreak map ever with custom models? If we made a map with custom models for just a limited time summer map, it would be more work invested than the reward to be reaped. IF we (modding team, probably?) made a map with unique models, it would most likely be here to stay. Overall, I think maybe the best thing here is to get another summer theme map suggested and maybe suggest a certain "camp counsellor" model for CTs and "camper" for the Ts?

How would we be able to enforce people having mics? Having an admin manually ask every CT to speak seems pretty tedious. Banning chat orders would be unreasonable as if 5 CTs were all talking over each other the only reasonable way would be to give orders via chat.
