All Ts

We're going to be running the Protect The President event again tonight, now that we have the plugin and everyone seemed to like the event we decided with the server about to break a goal at entering the hundreds it'd be great to get everyone together. One guard will be assigned as the president, given an increased amount of HP and all the Prisoners will be tasked with killing him. If the President is killed, all the Guards will be instantly killed as well. Date/Time: 8/3 (TONIGHT) at 7:30 PM EST

Great job @Kyle!

Here are the formatted raw survey results where we removed only personally identifying information, spam, and made it a bit easier to read. We've gotten through giving the results to some of the teams that needed them and have been proactively using them when discussing relevant changes. Releasing this we hope to see you guys hold us accountable and be as transparent as possible. Here are some graphs and relevant information. Here are some of the notable event suggestions you guys had, these have all been relayed to the Events Team: Scrim MGT Month-long Retake Server Increased Credit Events Stone All Ts 1v1 Multi-Arena Secret Hitler Anime event Fortnite Torunament Juggernaut on TTT Drawful 2 1v1 Tournament Gun-game CS:S Deathrun Jailbreak Challenges Karaoke Night FUCKALLTS Comedy Night PUBG SG Battle Royale Server April Fools ZE Event Karma Contest for Specific TTT Roles Jackbox Games Events GMOD TTT unbanme (from corno) Hide N Seek Zombie Break Floor Something we really heard you guys on was that you want more Minigames server events because while the survey had a pretty low number of respondents who indicated they played Minigames at 4.4%, 36% of you guys would like to seem more events on this server. This information has been relayed to the respective teams and managers involved. We will continue to pick apart the results and use them for future changes but if you feel that we're lacking or missed out on something in there then feel free to take parts of it and suggest them on our forums. We hope to do one of these again in the future. We're fully committed to hearing what you guys have to say and we are extremely thankful for the responses we have gotten through this. - Marketing Team

I would say that since they don't handle player complaints they couldn't handle any other form and should stick to dealing with what they can see first hand. If someone is pretty much giving you a player complaint through Steam or in private it should be posted in form of a player complaint on the forums cause it can be looked back on and keeps us fully transparent in the event of an appeal.

@roux Don't know how removing someone who posted vile disgusting pedophile related shit is a mistake for Disney, even if you wanted to argue that they were jokes they weren't particularly obvious ones nor were they even close to funny. Even the argument made about it being years ago holds no bearing to me personally, maybe if it was something light but the things he wrote were not light in any sense of the word. They would probably lose quite a lot of people if those tweets went viral and decided to just ignore it, not to mention it's just the right thing to do when you're a company like Disney who's most known for childrens cartoons, (invading your life) and movies. Comparing Disney making racially charged cartoons back in the day or making statements that Disney is being hypocritical in any form is just wrong, and the second one wasn't even said by the cast so I have no idea where "The cast is standing against the hypocrisy of Disney not for pedophilia!" is from. If you show me an instance where they're being hypocritical, and it's not a false equivalency I would gladly stand against whoever that person was. The cast also didn't defend the tweets if you read it over again, they said the tweets were clearly wrong and they said that they thought it doesn't reflect the man James Gunn is today, which is a fine statement to make. If something is thrust into the public light such as this it makes perfect sense for Disney to run a tight ship and kick his ass right off of it. If you're a public figure as a career your life is literally your craft (politician, director, actor, anchorman) and your image, that's how you bring your bread home. If someone wants to try to be controversial by relaying the most unfunny, edgy shit in order to gain clout online then they have to accept the consequences- which is something James Gunn has entirely embraced it seems. Lastly, if you think it was a character assassination I guess they didn't have to try really that hard with that type of shit written on his public twitter account, huh?

I don't agree with the cast of GOTG supporting James Gunn like this, he said some really vile shit for 2-3 years on end and even if it was 7-9 years ago this is a man who's job is and was to be in the public sphere. I do not believe he should be reinstated and think it's a good move by Disney to cut ties. The fact that some people think that Disney, a company renowned for making content for children should rehire a man who made tweets like this is absolutely ridiculous to me. I've seen a lot of people on the left and right wing of politics come out defending this on grounds of freedom of speech but I have to say as much as I have enjoyed Marvel Movies, as much as I have enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy I have very low tolerance for any shit about pedophilia or when humor turns so dark you can't even qualify it anymore. This is one of those situations where it's not even close to funny. While it's entirely likely this guy has changed since his tweets it's really a situation of reaping what you sow. We've all done shitty things in the past that we regret and as much as you can change you have to be able to accept consequences for your actions, the feelings associated with those actions and the missed opportunities that come along with that. If you read this quote by James Gunn I think he understands perfectly and despite this whole situation giving me a sour taste towards the guy he really does appear to be handling it in a mature fashion.

Might be an issue with the Senior Admin rank hmmm

When you make the thread it lets you select a prefix?

If there was a ever a deathgame map I'd want to have on the server it is this one. A lot of the games don't even kill you but not only that but the map as stated in the description changes style and shape in certain areas, which is just interesting as shit. One round the map looks grungy and scary, the next it looks like you're playing on tropical island, in the arctic, or on moon jail. The Guards when coming out of cells can actually select which style they want to go with for that round, which I think is awesome. The games themselves are mindblowing and I have never seen anything like them. It is clear the mapper made a lot, if not all of these from scratch and put a lot of time into perfecting them. You can build with legos, play golf, play an interesting version of operation within cs:go (hotwire) and there's even a really cool version of Stacker. All of these game have these infoboxes that help you understand how to play when you approach them and give pretty damn good instructions. If this map was more deathmatchy with secrets and had more basic places to send prisoners such besides the Disco I can see this being easily one of the most played maps on our server, but I would still love to try and get it added to the rotation and if we can't do that I'd love to use it for events. The amount of passion in this map brings back so much nostalgia from the CS:S days and it's something I wish I saw more in CS:GO maps, specifically for the Jailbreak communities. Will be testing this on live today, thank you for the suggestion @Takuto!

This map looks way too big IMO which is sad cause the secrets on it are pretty fucking cool, gonna tag @Dominic to see if he agrees.

Such a great grouping of admins, hope to see @Takuto or @tides make it out on top though.

From the screenshots looks kinda bad to be honest in both layout and quality. Will test locally and get back to you. Gonna reject this, map is kinda flat, layout is bad, linear, takes a lot of assets from other maps and implements them badly IMO. Specifically main cell seems like it would get CTs either cut off or killed quite consistently and once you go through the portal its just field after field of deathgames and such.

Will test locally but since Minecraft map unless it's actually good I'm probably not adding it. These maps kill the server despite being voted for by a ton of the little kids and I'd rather just treat them like any other map. This is kinda worrisome as well "Many things on the map need plugin from this team and will not be shared !".

Hey guys @Pandapwnr did a cover of country road, take a listen! Starts at 0:30

Dominic has notes, Cept has the video. Both will be out soon.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, was a really good turnout, all of you had a lot of good ideas and I'm grateful to see so many of you passionate about the server. Hope the rest of you weekend goes great and I hope to see you on the server.

On my phone right now. Meeting in a bit over an hour, meet in TeamSpeaks jailbreak channel, if you're a Jailbreak player you better be there boy. Will be taking a nap beforehand so don't fucking mess me with your bullshit while I'm napping. See ya then, love ya boys.

So basically if I do end up adding this it's going to have to be uncompressed due to it being over 150mb which would take the download time of the map from a few seconds to minutes upon minutes for some people. From testing it locally I honestly don't like the map enough to make it one of the only maps that takes an exponential time to download, especially since it's a new map that will be hard to retain players on. If you're willing to cut down the file-size by switching textures or removing some models I'm willing to add it but until then I'm going to mark this as Rejected. Besides ripping my hair out atleast

Disconnects everybody from the server every time I tried to test it, tried fixing it multiple times at the expense of making people reconnect. Added a map earlier in the day with no issues, so I don't know if it has something to with this map being extremely massive in file size or it's just some other problem with it that is unbeknownst to me. If @Clamor, @Black Rain @Prez or any other higher-up are willing to hop on and help to make sure I didn't do anything wrong later I'm more than willing to sit down with them to make sure of it.

This is tomorrow just a heads up.

I added the map to the cycle, I will keep it on this week and see how people like it but if it's not getting played or enjoyed I'll remove it. We tested it on the server and a lot of people enjoyed it, some people didn't like it due to how many deathgames there are compared to easily done secrets. There seems to be a lot of secrets people don't know how to do and to be honest some of them are very random. I found a video to get people started so that people might give the map a chance and not immediately reject it for other maps.

Added a poll.

We recently removed the old indicators which look like this: For the new Fortnite style indicators which look like this: We'd like to hear your feedback on this. The new Fortnite style indicators are able to be disabled locally (you can make it so you don't see them with sm_hits), so technically we could have both on the server with the downside being that you cannot disable the old indicators which could look kinda cluttery. There is also a nice animation to the new indicators. The old ones were able to be seen through walls which might seem cheaty to some people, were a bit more readable but were a lot less nice looking. Just a heads up that we heard you guys the past few days we have temporarily removed the new indicators and re-enabled the old ones for the time being while we figure what you guys would like best for the server and how it should be. Attend the JB Community Meeting tomorrow at 8PM EST where we will talk about this, all of the recent changes, and give suggestions to how we can make the server better. We hope everyone has a nice weekend, thanks for any and all feedback.

If you link a plugin or explain how a plugin is going Stream 24/7 on all of our servers I'd be interested. Comparing ESEA and CEVO to SG in the first place then saying its not complicated or expensive sounds like that is not accurate. As far as I know CEVO and ESEA stream specific games some of the time, not 24/7 on multiple servers at a time. This thread is the place for you to go into detail.
