All Ts

I think 3-4 is reasonable, 5 is a bit too much IMO. If we're gonna test it, start low and raise it.

Thank you so much for proposing these changes. I pretty much agree with everything you changed here. After we see how the server does we can maybe change the number for Forced LRs, play around with the T start mute-time and of course if anyone comes forward with a good Warden system we could find a more concrete solution to conflicting orders. To be honest the root of all evil on PB has mostly been the lack of administration & poor changes. A step in the right direction, good work @Jake !

I couldn't have said it any better myself, I whole hardheartedly agree with this. We need to stop this as it's gone on long enough & IMO its quite clearly not helping. PB has been the guinea pig for almost 2 months and...

Every type of Warden system has its issues and while the current way of doing things is kinda fucked we just have to deal with it. A lack of administration on PB is what most of the servers issues seriously boil down to sadly and there is not much you can do about it. Random wardens ends up with CTs with no mics. Queue warden system ends up with the same abusive fuck giving orders round after round. Does a Warden system mean you can't listen to any other CT, if so think of the trade off & confusion involved. The list honestly goes on. If any of you actually find a warden plugin suggest it and I'm sure @Jake will take a look, but most of them come with serious downsides that corrupt the vanilla way we currently attempt to run the server. On a side note the PB players need to start encouraging the more mature and dedicated players to speak out more often and apply for positions because as it stands it is seriously hurting the server.

Are you sure it's not just the overlay being buggy? Reinstall it, make sure to save anything you have in its directory. Run it as administrator. Turn my session video on. If all else fails use the hot key Ctrl+F3 to save your clips.

mfw pickle already posted this its the first thing i thought of

Garry's Mod is currently rated #7 on the list of multiplayer games. Normally peaks around 68,000 unique players/day. CS:GO is rated #2 on the list of most popular multiplayer games. Normally peaks around 620,000 unique players/day. Statistically GMod peaks around 11% of CSGO's player base. While I can see the argument that CS:GO is monumentally larger than Garry's Mod, it still has a massive community. As far as the similarities between our CS:GO server and GMod TTT-the 2 game modes are very different and I'd be interested to see a Garry's Mod TTT server return to SG. I think we can pull it off if we have a lightly-modded GMod TTT server as leaving it vanilla would pretty much be a death sentence to it's player pop. Being that my activity has all but died recently I would very likely be extremely active on this server and I'm sure some of the older GMod TTT players would come back around (not that I think we necessarily need them). I don't see any detrimental reason why it's not worth testing the waters for a month, our CS:GO TTT server will flourish either way.

We haven't always been able to see eye to eye but from way back in 2011/2012 to now I knew you as a really fun & trolly dude around GMod TTT. Thank you for the time, effort and hard work you've put into SG.

Gotta take life with strides man. Don't blame you for getting pissy with the PB regs just try not to go too far with it. See ya around. :-)

Taking the test again, kek'd real hard at this question. Will update with results. Dude even the personality test is harping on me. @Delirium @Dominic @Soviet @Euraho

I admire that you want to get some feedback and gauge community opinion but I think that this thread itself is something that you shouldn't have to do. Someone who's able to see the flaw in their ways and change is much more preferable over someone who must be explained/told what they're doing wrong. Not trying to penalize you but I'm going to give you my honest viewpoint since that is what you're asking for. When I'm online you're normally a good PB reg and personally I've never run into any issues with you as far as maturity, respect, and rule breaking goes. I'll note here that your activity is really good but as @Delirium said you're afking A TON. The only serious issue I have with you being an admin is that I don't think are wired for it. I think if you read through some of your forum posts some of them are pretty poor or just not well thought out. When you're an admin there are a lot of wishy-washy rules and stipulations that can get confusing. Coming off as unsure or incapable in your posts is going to kill you if you decide to post an application. To summarize: Keep your activity up the way it is, but make sure your AFKing doesn't get out of control. Keep following the rules, being respectful and mature. Start coming on TeamSpeak and branch off to SG's other servers as much as possible. Increase quantity and more importantly, the quality of your forum posts. Post some Player Complaints when you can (they help people make sure you know the rules and can enforce them, just make sure you don't report people for tiny offenses). Anyway, I'm not gonna give you an actual vote but if you take what I said above as constructive criticism and make a conscious effort I'm confident you could one day be an SA.

Launched game. Walked for 10 minutes. Saw some deer with extremely funny animation. Walked off the map into an unloaded abyss. Game crashed. Atleast I got my money back.

A much deserved promotion to @GhostTitanium , congrats. Congrats aswell to @Frostbitten and @Mad Dogg Good to see some of our PB brothers moving up in the ranks.

This and Crackhouse.

Tell them off mic if you believe it will be an issue otherwise you should repeat the orders to keep the death game clear. I don't understand why so many threads have to get made off of small-rare instances on PB, most of these questions are incredibly self explanatory.

If their LR is "s4s til I die" then how is their LR ended? Explain that please.

I think you should have to honor because you're agreeing to their LR which is S4S until death. If you don't agree with their LR simply deny it, otherwise I think you should have to honor it. A concrete plugin/system is being looked into either way so I don't think arguing about it is a big deal.

In my eyes Forced Deathgames will only work with tons of restrictions added to clear up the many stipulations and complications. After the meeting yesterday I think we're on our way to removing them so I wouldn't worry about it too much. As for Forced LR's there is a system being looked into (a plugin) that would give Ts more control over their LR & would overall make the server more fun. Thank you for your feedback as smiley said If you have any other issues bring them up here (on the forums) as I'm sure no one wants to see a regular quit due to rule changes.

Remove them, change your avatar, restrict your privacy settings, etc. Not like anyone is expecting you to do much anyway. What Caution said here I honestly couldn't have said better myself. Either way I very rarely see the classic "FREEEKILL!!! FREEKILL!!! ADMUN" that can't be wrapped up in a few seconds. Even though I rarely play CT on a daily basis I have people telling me I freekilled them to which I maturely & calmly explain why and move on with my day. I don't understand why admins have to treat the situations they run into any different (besides a mute/kick/ban), obviously they run into those situations with a lot higher frequency than regular players but I still don't believe it's as overbearing as it's made to be.

Yes. Pardons aren't concrete even though it's a dick move to not stand by them.

I understand your point but these are all things that happen anyway, this thread isn't about how the players should be stepping up (cause I think for the most part the regs are trying their best) it's about finding a way to entice admins to somehow to play something like PB & to overall create a positive impact on admins activity. The reason PB was brought up by me was because I feel like it's the prime example of why we need to push to get more admins onto the servers, whether the action we take is giving them a Gold Star or stripping their admin are just different ideas people have brought forward. PB isn't as bad as people make it out to be, it only appears as bad as it is cause a lot of people in my opinion are over exaggerating it. Tldr; it's going to be fine, administrators are the issue-not the regulars, and PB was only brought into this thread due to it being a prime example of why we should take some kind of action regarding the quantity (and quite frankly quality) of active admins.

I really like this idea, we kinda have a group like on TeamSpeak that has a few PB admins/regs and we tend to get on every day for atleast an hour. It tends to make the server atmosphere much more fun & overall calmer. Can't force anyone to be friends but extending my hand to any admins/regs interested in learning the PB ropes or just trying to have fun with us dudes, we just hang out on TeamSpeak together. I would love to see PB get a stronger presence in the community anyway (TS, Forums etc..) , feel like it would solve a lot of problems and be healthy.
