I like this idea a lot. Not sure how easily it could be implemented but I’d be down to have it on the server. My only concern is people spamming it and overwhelming detectives. There should be a limit to how many bodies you can do this to or a cool down time between calls.

I did read the posts by the ATs before I made this. This wouldn’t add the chaos they were talking about because it is just a buffed up detective (no new roles with new objectives) I don’t know much about coding so I threw it out there. I didn’t know how easy it was just to buff up a detective a bit because jailbreak did it with a guard.

Ehhh, I mean jihads take a while to activate so it isn't like the President would die instantly to one. Also, a lot of the time jihads are countered with ease so this wouldn't be too much of an issue. Also, chances are the President would be put into cover to hide and try and survive. If not, there would be a lot of people around him and might be hard to get a clear shot. Yes. Nah, that would be completely killing the idea of TTT. I tried to keep it as close as possible to the gamemode while also making it something new and refreshing. The TTT AT's emphasized that they aren't trying to completely change the gamemode. That's what I figured. Maybe if this event was held occasionally (not just a one time thing) it might be worth it to see if you can get a bunch of players on. I just think something needs to happen to try to spice up TTT every once in a while. Maybe not, you're an ex-AM and probably know more about that stuff than me lol. If AT's really don't want to add a role I understand. I put it out there cause it was worth a shot. I felt like they were more concerned with how it would ruin the gamemode so I tried to work around around that. If they ever decide to change their mind and think it might be worth the coding one day at least the idea is out there.

Obviously TTT has been lacking events because it is the hardest server to create an event on. A lot of event ideas don't work because it ruins the fundamentals of the gamemode. I've been trying to come up with ideas for events for a while now in order to hopefully get an event to happen sometime because it would really be cool to have a TTT event in the near future. This idea is just a rough idea of a possible event, has many flaws, and probably needs some revisions to actually happen. I'm putting it out here now so a) I can see if anyone has ideas to make the event more feasible and b) hopefully motivate others to start brainstorming other TTT ideas. Also, the basic event idea was taken from the "Protect the President" event that Jailbreak held multiple times. I just focused on trying to make some changes to help it accommodate the complicated TTT gamemode. Creds to whoever came up with that idea. Anyways, onto the event... President in Terrorist Town! Objective: The President is making a stop in Terrorist Town! The main objective of TTT remains the same (traitors kill innocents/detectives, innocent/detectives survive or kill traitors); however, there is an additional goal of protecting/killing the President. All innocents and detectives must work together to keep the President alive for the entirety of the round by fighting off the traitors. The additional goal of the traitors is to kill the President. How it would work: One detective is selected to be the President. Their name is announced in the chat once the round starts. [TTT] Kieran has been selected as the PRESIDENT Their color would still be blue so they don't stick out too much, however they do have the tag "PRESIDENT" instead of "DETECTIVE". The President will have the following features: - 300 health (this can be adjusted as needed, just it has to be enough so he isn't easily killed) - Kevlar and helmet - Free medi-shot (could be multiple) - All other Detective perks (access to the menu, M4A1-S off of spawn, etc.) The round would continue until either side won like normal TTT. One important difference that I made to the gamemode is that if the President dies, the round still goes on. If I didn't make it like this, then a) it wouldn't really be TTT anymore, b) it would be really short rounds, and c) players could easily troll. Jailbreak is different because it isn't as easy to get the resources to kill the President, but on TTT almost everyone has a weapon by round start. The whole event is more of a "secondary goal" but still interesting and fun enough so players would focus on the President. If the President survives until the innocents/detectives win, then all innocents/detectives get a bonus reward. If the President is killed by a traitor, then all traitors get a bonus reward. I'm still not sure what the reward would be. It could be a karma bonus (more realistic), it could be points (less realistic), or it could just be bragging rights. I think there has to be some form of incentive that would motivate players to participate and take the event seriously, so if anyone has ideas for this please suggest it. There should obviously be a point multiplier or something like that to get more players on during the event. SIDE NOTE: Gold knife would have to be disabled for this event. It would be too overpowered to have a one shot weapon that is practically a guaranteed kill if you know how to click a mouse. However, the AWP is totally fair game if you can hit the headshot. Reasons this event could work/be fun 1. You are still playing TTT. The fundamentals of the game are still the same with two sides trying to eliminate each other. Although the President is new, he really is just a buffed up detective who doesn't complicate the game too much. If the President dies, you just continue with normal TTT. 2. Players would have to work together. Traitors could plot out attacks in terrorist chat to kill the President. Innocents and detectives would have to convey information about where the President is located and potential threats. 3. There are very interesting strategies traitors could try to use in order to kill the President. You could try and do some coordinated attacks to catch the Presidents and his protectors off guard from multiple positions. You could stay back with an AWP and try to snipe him down (possibly hit the lucky headshot). You could even go behind enemy lines and try to blow him up with a jihad. Potential problems with the event 1. Troll players Obviously, one of the biggest concerns is troll players will intentionally try to ruin the event by running up and shooting the President as an innocent/detective. Potential Solution: Having a lot of admins online to handle trolls accordingly. This would likely already be the case because TTT events are so rare that a lot of admins would probably show for the occasion. I'd certainly do my best to come if this event were to become a reality. 2. Too unbalanced I doubt this event would be perfectly balanced how it is and it might be a very unfair gamemode for either side. Potential Solution: Giving/taking away features of the President, or removing additional factors in the game. I put the Detective at 300 HP so very few weapons could kill him in one shot. I'm not sure if this is the appropriate amount of health to keep him at, so if you feel like there is another number more appropriate for him let me know. You could also take away stuff from the traitors (like AWPs) if the traitors have too much of an advantage. 3. Might be too complicated to implement This event has a lot of demands (creating a new "role" with additional features, removing some features in the game, adding some, etc.) that might require too much effort to be done. I also don't have a potential solution for this one. This side of the game is not my expertise so I am unsure if this could even happen or if it would be too complicated. 4. The FBI might hunt me down I'm technically "suggesting" to kill the President with snipers and jihads. The FBI is probably on my ass already. Potential Solution: I flee to Mexico. ------------------------ Anyways, feel free to leave suggestions and criticisms. This isn't a flawless idea and definitely would need changes before it could be added. I also encourage everyone to try and brainstorm some other TTT ideas and hopefully a few can actually happen in the near future.

You can't just change the lyrics in a song to make the use of the n-word offensive or racist; the context/meaning in the song will always stay the same. However, it is inevitable if we allowed this then EVENTUALLY someone would be singing along and just "mess up" the lyrics and just throw in a "I hate..." before the word or something stupid like that. There is just no need for this since it could easily be exploited and a lot of burdens will use it to skirt the racism rule. Also, I agree with what Dominic said. You can just easily avoid saying it so it isn't really a problem.

Rip birds but I was right it would be a close one.

Even if we lose, it isn’t going to be 48-7. This is a different eagles team who found their stride and it’ll be closer than you think. I expect it to be high scoring though cause our secondary sucks and I’m sure Nick Foles will be able to score against the Saints defense too. Also, you can’t argue were only here cause of the kids foot. If you actually watched the game you would know the Eagles put up a very good game defensively and did decently well against the best defense in the league. Not to mention we had to go through two playoff teams (Rams and Texans) to even get into the playoffs. We earned our spot in New Orleans.

Congrats dudes!

Brees will throw a pass to Thomas and St. Nick will swing around his massive dick and block the pass with it.

I think proving people as innocents really should be left up to detectives, t testers, and witnesses. A lot of the game relies on taking people's word for something and just taking a gamble and trusting someone. I think this would be too drastic of a change and throw off the balance of the game. I'd be fine with the medishot and kevlar being incorporated (probably medishot over kevlar) as long as it was clear to players now that innocents could have access to these things so they shouldn't kill for it.

Health shot and Kevlar maybe, definitely not taser. Everyone would just buy a taser to prove that they're innocent. Even if there is a way to work around that, it wouldn't be logical for someone to be able to prove someone else when they haven't been proven yet.

Sorry it isn’t a thing against you, I just dislike when people do this in general. I’ve played enough MG to understand how often people play course (half the time I join it’s a course map already). I also used to administrate a course server and have hundreds of hours on it and people did this all the time and 95% of the time they were trolling and trying to piss off everyone else. Maybe it’s not fair for me to compare that to here but the concept is the same and I’m sure it isn’t too different. Also, I’m sorry if you feel personally attacked but it’s just a difference of opinion. You’re here to give your opinion to improve the server. I’m here to state my opinion that I think is best for the server. I’m allowed to have a difference of opinion. That doesn’t mean it’s a personal attack on you. I really don’t dislike you as a person, usually you’re quiet and we don’t talk too much, but just understand I’m not disagreeing because you’re the one that suggested it. I have a different opinion and sorry if you got offended. As for the thing, 5 seconds is still 5 seconds. Do that for 6 rounds and suddenly it becomes 30 seconds. Now you’re looking at a difference that possibly decides if there is a next round or not all because someone decides to screw around and not play the map. I just don’t get why people feel the need to. Oh well, maybe we can get more MG regs on here to see what they think.

Never said someone should be banned for it (don’t put words in my mouth thx), I wouldn’t ban, I was just questioning the motivation behind it. A lot of the time (not all) I feel like it’s because burdens want to push their limits and annoy other people. I don’t see nesquik as a burden but I was just curious.

Not trying to be rude here, but why would you play if you’re just going to draw dicks a bunch? This isn’t targeted at you, but if a person felt so inclined to draw penises on the wall why don’t they just log off, play offline, draw all the genitalia they wanted and then reconnected when there was a new map. If you’re not progressing in a map until everyone dies you’re going to end up delaying even for a small amount of time. I just don’t get it.

Guess the mafia hired a hacker to steal all my personal information. Fuck.

Congrats blue ppl

Go to college and not be a retard lol

Actually getting to spend this New Year's with some new amazing people in my life that I'm looking forward to spending this year with. Hope everyone has a great year!

I see where you guys are coming from, but I blame that on the manager and their incompetence to not look further into the issue. This wouldn’t stop bad managers from being bad, but it might take away useful statistics that any manager could use to get a general idea on where a map stands.

I mean, I don’t really see the problem with having them. This seems more like a nitpicking type of thread/request as having these does no harm. I’ve never been a manager and you have but I assume (given enough people vote) it can possibly give you a general idea of where the community stands without each person having to take the time of writing out a post.

I went to my grandmas and my family dressed up all the dogs because we're weird people

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and gets to spend it with those they love! Merry Christmas guys!

Big dick nick is about to slap everyone with his huge dick and bring us #2

Guys... it’s not the end of the world. The kid had chat colors for a month, so what? This doesn’t need to turn into some crazy moral debate. I haven’t been around for that long, but I remember reading an old announcement about something Liam Brown did to make subscribers perk activate automatically. Not sure if you bought your sub before then, but maybe that could have caused this? If not then I have no idea but it’s likely you might not be the only one.
