Congrats everyone! well deserved ^_^

I don't really know you on a personal level ,but what I can say is thank you for replying to my past player complaints xD. Although it could be sometimes a chore to always reply to player complaints, I wanted to let you know that I truly am thankful for every player complaint you've taken up on. You mentioned damaging the community in the past, but I wanna let you know that from the time I've started you've been a role model in keeping the servers clean. Keep your chin up and I wish up best of luck in the things you have to tackle

From the first post that I ever posted and got deleted for not having enough context (honest mistake) and how you confronted me later on that day on TTT, I realized how mature you were about handling the situation. This past month alone, I've seen you on jb almost every time I've joined. The amount of time you've put into baby sitting both the JB servers and forums is something that I personally want to thank you for as its no easy task. Just by the way you handle situations and how you've taken the time to personally message me regarding a separate matter, showed me how much passion you truly have for the servers. It's a shame I never really got to know you on a personal level, but I just want to thank you for how mature you've been on monitoring forum rules. Take it easy and I hope you find happiness in whatever you do in the future

Congrats, just saw you on the server ^_^

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THANK GOD JENKINS LAID OUT COOKS EARLY LOL gg pats fans was a buttclencher

How about giving subscriber for the top 3 players? $5 is equivalent to 2000 in store credit points. Also getting subscriber is much more beneficial to active players as it would allow them to gain more credits and use subscriber player models.

Thanks for finally taking the time to reset the karma, been waiting a while for some kind of change. GL everyone ^_^

This is gonna be a fun Superbowl to watch anyways regardless of who wins Eagles are gonna win 24-17

I promise I didn't have papa at gun point

When I was a kid my first taste of P/C games were Starcraft 1 and Broodwar (expansion set). Soon after finishing both games campaign and a ton of custom battlenet games (Heaven vs Hell, LOTR, The Thing, Cat and Mouse, etc), I was forever hooked onto pc games. Shortly after a friend of mine introduced me to cs 1.6 where we use to always play ZE servers and the rest is history. Been prolly 15 years now since i've been playing pc games and the only consoles i've ever owned were the Super Nintendo/N64.

God, whoever started this meme pls im not rank S stop spreading false rumours about me ):

This was s'pose to be a competition right? LUL

I've done a lot thinking and came to the conclusion that as nice as it would be having karma uncapped, karma shouldn't be used as a ranking system. Karma should be used solely to keep players in check and punish the players that break the rules. I think grinding to have a high karma sounds nice on paper because it would "promote" players to not break the rules ,but honestly it also has its negative impacts. In some way it does give a false sense of superiority over other players because they may think having higher karma means that they're playing the game properly. Just because a player has higher karma shouldn't mean they should go unpunished for rdming someone. I think the best way in approaching this problem would be reverting karma to its original state and implementing a new ranking system. One new idea I had for a new ranking system was maybe adding the total amount of detectives and innos killed when you're a T + traitors killed as innos. If you end up killing an inno as another inno it would subtract from your total. I personally feel killing a detect as an T should give more points to your rank and killing a T as an Inno should also give more points. I'm sure there's a number that the majority can discuss or take a vote for. Essentially this idea would just be adding the amount of detectives, innos, and traitors killed when you are playing the appropriate role. Why not just add all the weird rankings like detectives killed and traitors killed together . This way the ranking system would reward players who play the most and play it properly. If we do use this system we could reward the top 10 ranked players every month or two.

In Philly there are some words that we say differently such as water. People pronounce it as Wah-ter ,but in Philly a lot of people pronounce it as wooder myself included. I also pronounce bagel as beggles and its something that i've never thought about until my cousin pointed it out this past Thanksgiving.

This always gave me the feels man.....great memories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13ZYRXdYq_U Personal favorite battle ost https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1nsp5CnvVQ

Locksmith is fucking dope Gotta also list DPR Live, kids blown up a crap ton this year in Asia. He may not be an American artist but goddamn the visuals in his music video are fucking dope.

I think the issue with that is -50 and -100 is too much karma lost. There are plenty of times where players may accidentally kill people in a crossfire especially when the server is full and I don't think its fair to massively drop someones karma that much for an accident. Also I don't really think having higher karma necessary gives someone a shield because everyone is prone to being reported/recorded for their actions. If your intent was to gain high karma just so you can rdm without consequences that just makes you a terrible regular and i personally don't think you would last long at all before an admin or another regular reports you. Rdming with high karma and trying to get away with it imo just means the player has no integrity. I do however like the idea of raising the lost of karma when players rdm though. I'm not sure what a fair number would be, but im sure the community could come up with a poll or vote to change it.

Did not know of this and thanks for the clarification. Please don't mind that part of my rant as its been fixed

This post is a broad post on TTT as it is now 1/4/18, touching on some issues and some suggestions that have been introduced in the past and hopefully new ones that will help benefit the server in a positive manner. Issues #1 - @All Ts has mentioned in the past that the karma system makes the game way to competitive and that it has its faults (which I agree to an extent). The rdm rank has made it competitive for some players to purposely break the rules just so they can have a higher rank, in this instance I do agree that the karma system does have its flaws. In order to combat this I think the RDM rank should just be deleted because it holds no purpose other than people trying to prove that someone rdmed a lot. However, I personally think that the competitive nature of the karma system outweighs the negatives. It brings back regulars because its fun to work for a rank that not a lot of people have achieved. I also believe having karma tied up with your rank is a great incentive to make players play properly. Issue #2 - This ones not a huge issue but more of a pet peeve but i thought i might as well include this. As of right now when you type !ktop the top players are always fluctuating with max karma. I think it might have to do with players losing 13337 karma and getting it back making the system think they might be the newest 13337 karma achiever. Not really sure how the system works ,but I don't think its fair for the first few people who got karma first to not be on the !ktop since they achieved it first. Some Ideas Currently there's probably about 15 people maybe more who have now achieved max karma. Being a regular TTT player who's already reached max karma, i've noticed that the drive to wanting to play has somewhat diminished which I dont blame anyone for but myself. However, I think something small could be done to give people incentives to play more. Idea #1 - Uncapping the karma from 13337 would be a great incentive for players to keep on grinding for that number one spot. Maybe after a few months just like a regular reset as it is now (2-3months) there could be rewards for the top 10 or even top 3 players with the most karma. In the end I just want this option to give players who are already max karma something else to work for as it feels stagnant just sitting at 13337 karma. Idea #2 - As I mentioned above the !ktop is always fluctuating and I think its due time that it needs a rework of some sort. If we keep the 13337 karma I think the ktop should list players in order from who got 13337 from first to last. If we uncap the karma then it would be straightforward, whoever has the most karma to the least karma. Idea #3 - During the next reset maybe instead of skin rewards there could be a name tag rewards for achieving max karma. I think it would be neat to have seasonal resets with diff name tags for achieving certain milestones, similar to how some surf servers have ranks like noob, novice, pro, and etc. Since im not a coder im not sure how difficult it is and I hope im not asking for too much sorry x.x. Sorry if I come off as sounding needy as its not my intention in creating this thread I just wanted to help out the regular players i see in and out of the server. I just think there could be a better way in trying to have regulars work to something beyond a max capped 13337 karma. Please leave suggestions, worries, or maybe build off what I already thought of. Huge shout outs to @Snootch, @Exk, and @Zayne B for putting in their inputs/thoughts. For anyone who actually took the time to read all of this a huge thank you:thumb:

What kind of genre of music do you listen to? From there we could narrow it down my man.

As an Eagles fan I gotta stick with Eagles ,but im a realist as well. We may have a lot of offensive tools to help Foles out, but my god was that game against the Raiders/Cowboys a wake up call. Brady is bound to get his sixth ring man.

Sennheiser game ones or zeros for sure. They're super comfortable and the sound quality on them are superb. I've been using mine for over a year and they still feel great so it has the check for me when it comes to durability. Its a great purchase that I would highly recommend it to any avid gamer that has a 150ish budget. I would not purchase them until they drop to around 150ish as paying anything above it would be a waste of money. https://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-GAME-ONE-Gaming-Headset/dp/B00GWU8FTK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1514425166&sr=8-2&keywords=sennheiser+game+one
