All Ts

I'm going to try to find a way to get the old SpyvsSpy back today, see if there are any better edits, fixes and if not try the old one or figure out why it's fucked up.

We're about to start pushing forward into a Revamp 2.0 type patch with a whole bunch of changes to come before then, please fill this out as it would be highly appreciated and if you know a regular who hasn't filled this out please send them this way.

Marketing Team is currently looking for applicants, form here. The team entails: Things we're looking for in applicants:

Virtious has been permanently banned for not being able to control his temper, being generally toxic and griefing other players. He managed to rack up 5 bans in the length of 6 months which is almost unheard of for a regular of our community. He received more than enough chances to change his behavior problem and he did not. We don't ask much from our players, we don't need you all to get along with one another nor be friends but we expect you guys to follow our rules if you plan on playing here.

If this is possible it will be done, I think it would be cool if maybe starting an LR tacked an additional flat amount of time to the end of the round that way people cannot use the "infinite" time to potentially grief. I like the suggestion, thanks friend.

Appreciate it, thanks dude. To add onto this I readded noblock, increased roundtime among some other things. I'm going to be working till late so the other managers will have to pick up where there are other issues. We'll iron out all of it in the next few days.

Except they do, lol.

These are the changes directly related to this issue. We added !fo, which while isn't used as much as we wanted it to be definitely curbed the issue of the server going to shit straight from the get-go and has made it so CT's aren't constantly conflicting eachother. We created an automated ratio which a lot of the time helps keeping the CT's from getting out of control, especially when there is not an admin. We have CT lockout now which decreases the amount of new players that can simply hop on CT the moment they join, this doesn't completely fix massfreekillers or otherwise shit CT's but it has helped a lot. We have an extension on first order that allows the CTs that take it to simply type their order and it shows up in a message box. We added noblock which stops Prisoners from screaming at one another to move and for the server to go to shit everytime they get sent somewhere that can be blocked. We have a lot more admins nowadays then we had months, a year or so back- this one is pretty self explanatory. There are many more changes related to this on the horizon but I really don't think the things being said in this thread are fair to the server, giving zero credit to the changes we've made and trying speaking from a position of authority when they haven't actually given the server a solid chance to begin with. Just short of muting the entire T side for 5 minutes straight you're always going to have situations where a bunch of people are micspamming at once without administration on. This isn't something that just happens on our server, it happens on ZE, TTT, and MG but not nearly as much as it's being made out in the thread. If you guys want to code us the SourcePawn Ultron plugin to deal with the issue, I'm all ears but we're going to keep doing what we're doing.

Creativity is pretty much synonymous with originality, if you feel someone created a Razor clone that's where you're free to ding them (given you're a judge). The whole rubric is added up at the end to reach an "overall composition" score, but it's based on what we want rather than giving people a bit too much freedom when rating the maps. To be honest I still might change the Rubric cause I think it could be reworded, I'll look it over later and decide.

You have such insight into our Jailbreak server even though you haven't played it a single time in the past 9 months. We've recruited many, many admins to our ranks. It's not like this with admins, the times where it is like that with admins are very rare. The times where it is like that without admins still, not very often. You haven't even looked at any of the massive threads we've pushed out related to the pretty extreme changes we've made to the server nor are you taking into account that you're literally stating the age range for CS:GO and not any legitimate criticism on our servers. I'm probably the most self-critical AT the server has had in a long-time, we've reverted changes and done things other managers would absolutely wince at doing, but we did it so the server could run less like the shitshow you're describing. A survey of 11000 people shows from 12-18 makes up well over 50% of CS:GO, Ages 19-35+ make up the rest. Beyond those numbers just off maybe logging into the server to know who plays on it instead of making claims that "nobody fucking plays it who is older than 18", you would see that there are people who play it over 18- plenty of them. Is there a shift towards younger kids on Jailbreak? Yes. Are the rest of the servers like Jailbreak? Nope, that's being completely unfair. If you log onto TTT, ZE, MG and pretty much any other server we have running there are much, much less kids and many more adults. You're making an unfair judgement on our servers based off what is the definition anecdotal evidence and you're trying to tell me I'm wrong when I have spent more time on the server in the past 2 days then you have in the past year.

Jailbreak among some of the other servers are experiencing some issues related to Valve's fantastic new CS:GO update where they added a single cfg to the game related to a bug at the Majors (yay!). While the server will probably come back up tomorrow just like the rest there is a issue that might cause some of the previous changes to roundtime, noblock, slot-size, grace-period to be reverted. I will be working a lot of tomorrow but if you notice things that are fucked up or things that don't seem right don't hesitate to tell us, this is something we'll probably have to be on top of for the next week or so. I want to apologize for this and I hope everyone gets to have a great Taco Tuesday. - Jailbreak Team

If you need any help definitely make a thread in the modding section, I also recommend casually watching TopHATTWaffles video tutorials when you have time and will actually retain the information. They're good to watch while you're super bored or are eating plus they're just genuinely great videos.

I have liked previous videos he has made, he's a long-time CS player of just about a decade, is pretty neat he played on our server.. but think this guy cares more about meeting his mini-documentary end-summary. I don't understand logging onto a few community servers and getting footage of people playing compared to just I don't know, looking at the stats themselves? It's like someone says "CS:GO is dead" based off anecdotal evidence and he fires back with "HA, but I logged on 5 community servers". There are times where there are no admins on and the server can be like this, it's not really a giant surprise to anyone who plays consistently and we have systems in place that make this much less likely to happen then months ago, and I'm sure months from now we will have more aswell. Comes off kind of pretentious and dishonest in my opinion to title a video "Do People Still Play CS:GO?" and instead of bringing actual points he acts serious for about 1/4 of the video in a way where he can just fall back on satire if he gets called out. The video could of been something productive given his platform but it's not really too surprising to see a YouTuber use their platform for something like this. It is only sad that most of the CS:GO YouTubers pay very little attention to Community Servers and would rather spam videos about the new cases, unboxing videos, and click-bait bullshit.

Barely liked the thank function on our forum but atleast it can gauge what kind of shit people are posting. Letting people dislike posts or use type shit is just a bad idea. Would rather people use our forum as a forum rather than go back and forth giving eachother pos/negative reputation reacting to posts with emojis or having some like/dislike system.

Appreciate it man, thanks again. You made a pretty good map no matter the amount of time, you deserve some praise.

Thank you @Darnias! This is super cool, this is pretty much exactly the kind of thing I wanted. Don't want to spoil it for anyone, but I went through and managed to find these and more. Random spawning cell pistols Vent in big cage Secret cell block ladder Scout on top of cells Pistol outside cell block vent Disco Teleport Top of big cage pistol Way to get on top of armory with the boxes Invisible block to get up to the AWP in maincell Glock in disco, no idea how to actually get to it MP7 somewhere in Dodgeball Many others I haven't figured out how to work. Other randomly spawning pistols(?) Pros: I really like the Disco and world text buttons you have on your maps, the different vents are really creative. I like how each part of the map is sectioned off with the portals but I don't necessarily know how that will fit into map balance if the CT's have to facecheck a lot of the time. I like how the cell doors aren't just a simple texture that pulls away and is styled in a way that fits the vents. I'm not a giant fan of the gray on gray texturing, but for something made in such a short time it has a nice look to it. I really enjoyed that a lot of the secrets you have on here aren't all hard to find, but there are ones that can peak some peoples interest if they want to have that extra edge. I really like the skybox you used no matter how simplistic it looks, it's really nice to look at. The options for soccer where you can kick/knife the ball is pretty damn cool and the scoreboards are really nice. The simple fact that the pool has a shallow end just makes it so much nicer, and I like the water texture you used. Cons: I think you could of fit one or two more teleporters in obscure areas and make some kind of catwalk or platforms for CT's, for that reason along with the doorways design, the pistols, the vents and it being really close quarters I can see this being pretty T-sided. The giant tree feels out of place in my opinion for such a small maincell it makes it a little too cramped and creates a pretty massive shadow across the entire thing. The banner you used isn't the one that we created for the contest (I don't even mind the inclusion of the gamebanana one). Some of the vents take a little too long to break, while others such as the one in the bottom right cell would make perfect sense to take awhile to chip through. I don't think the games in compliment our server too well and with the portals for the doorways it might give people on T side a long time to teamkill eachother with. I'm excited to see you do work on this map in the future, and obviously if you want to change anything before the deadline in the next month or so feel free. All in all, really appreciate the entry- I'm going to add the map to the server rotation because I personally like it a lot. Can't wait to see what people judge the map on when the contest wraps up. Thanks again.

Hey guys I will be there running that shit, you better be there or be SQUARE. We tryna keep JB MINT.

Decided gonna work on my first real JB map from like 8 months ago for this. I will not take any actual placement or ranking, nor accept prizes. Simply will just be rated by judges and used to create a bit of sense of competition here and promote the community. If you're working on a map for the contest try to post here, interested to see who's looking to participate. Also A question for JB regulars. - What do you like most in a map for our server?

shoe on head

The point I'm making isn't that it will never be abused, the point I am making is that people shoot down opinions with really simple logic without attempting to make it work. I personally don't believe something like this would hurt the community nearly as much as it would help and I think people who do believe it's an awful idea aren't really thinking of the numbers surrounding the idea and mechanics that can be implemented to prevent abuse. We have a ton of things on the servers that can be abused but are there for the sake of gameplay that is balanced to an extent. I don't see this as any different.

I think this is one of the ideas SG has been pretty unfair towards without looking at specific plugins or thinking of a concept in order to try giving the idea a chance. If someone is mass freekilling on Jailbreak for rounds on end, there is no admin on, a VIP being able to start a vote with more than 20 people on, to get a 75% vote to remove them from the server through just a kick (not a time-out or ban) does not seem harmful whatsoever. You could also have an adjusting percentage depending how many people are online, or when a lower amount of people are on maybe just disable it all-together to avoid abuse. A lot of the times I'm administrating after kicking someone they don't even both to join back and I really feel like it would be a very similar situation here. Anyway, I completely understand why people wouldn't want this especially if you're thinking about it in the simple basis of just over a 50% jailbreak population bullying some poor kid, but I don't personally believe this idea is as bad as people have made it out to be.
