You were always someone I could look up to, and each promotion here at SG I aspired to do even half of what you did in those roles. We haven't spoke in quite some time, but it'll be an adjustment not knowing you're on the staff team. Best of luck to you in your career, can't wait to see what the future holds for you, it's as bright as the new chapter in your life.

This is a terrible attitude to have. No, you'd be right, you're not breaking any rules, but you're ruining other players' experience and acting terribly about it. A lesson it seems you've yet to learn is Jailbreak is not competitive, it's casual and we play it for fun. When you're playing as a Guard, unlike some other game modes, you have a direct impact on multiple people's experiences and enjoyment, and when you act like this and are extremely strict you make it so people do not want to play. There are some orders and actions that are an instant turn off for some people, including me, and make them leave immediately. You need to get it through your head that playing Guard/CT is not about winning or even doing the objective, yeah it's about "Maintaining order in the prison" but more importantly engaging with players in a good way and having a laugh along the way. It's okay to die in-game, take things lightly, don't get so upset over a poor ratio, enjoy the game and the people around you because eventually you'll realize the days you had more fun than stress will be over and the friends you used to have around you might not be there anymore. When you play like this not only are you driving all types of players away, you also take a hot load on all the effort put into the server by the countless people on the staff team who have worked so hard to get the server to where it is today. Take this guide as an example of how you can be a better influence and human on the server: Admins and staff have been told when people like you act like this to be extremely strict with you as you directly ruin everyone else's gaming experience. To address the possible ideas to remedy issues like this, it would take a lot of effort to go into every map and remove SMGs, and even then people can use pistols, wallbangs, AWPs, etc. to do what they want to do. It's a people problem, not a utility or weapon problem.

All responses above are correct, this is not something that can be amended by a rule change. There are many different ways for people to be strict, and this is one of them. Remove this route, they'll awp warning shot, remove that, they'll give bland orders, force them to stop repeating themselves, they'll be unforgiving and not pardon prisoners. You cannot tackle this in any good way other than negatively enforcing bad behavior ( @delirium) or making a rule that states, "No Naziism allowed, you cannot be overly strict or be a debby downer" which then puts us into the boat of admin discretion, and that opens up a whole new can of worms. This was also previously discussed here, I highly recommend reading a few of the responses. I can put the blame majorly on myself, for acting like this in the past and bringing certain abrupt order calls into the meta, but at the end of the day what I think we need is good administration to make sure anyone who acts like this is put in line if they step over the lines of the rules. This includes but is not limited to, repeating the same orders, giving confusing orders, or conflicting. I also cannot stress this enough, but we have lost a lot of good Guards that are mostly pushing the positive atmosphere on the server. That's why I mostly try to play Guard & help by being a good influence on others, but it can be a process that burns you out fast from the hate and at the end of the day repetitiveness. KNEW you were going to say this, but yeah dropped the ball there. It was wrapped up generally in previous responses and in another thread that got started recently though.

Congrats guys, well deserved.

Hyped. @dafty come so I can wreck you again

NAH FUCK THAT, WHERE’S MY DIRECTOR?????? NO DIRECTOR, NO MOVIE NIGHT

https://banned.steam-gamers.net/ctbans/ or hover over “BANNED” at the top of the forums

Excuse the lack of a proper response, I’m in a different state & on my phone. CTBans do leave a permanent mark on a players record. Nishok wonderfully set up a public website for CTBans to be logged & searched, including a nifty little column for how many times a player has been CTBanned. That number is taken into account by admins, managers (me and dom), and IAOs who deal with ban increase requests. Admins are told to go for CTBans on Guard related rule infractions, as it’s always better for the population of the server to keep our players online (something we’ve had a problem with the last half year). Yes, CTBans can be especially helpful for newer players who are confused/prone to make beginner mistakes, but they’re also effective against trolls as @Gentoo mentioned. Blatant griefers and mass free killers are likely to face the 1-2 hour CTBan which forces them actually play the game in order to be able to get back on CT again and possibly negatively interfere with other people’s gaming experience.Players can alt, or go straight back to rule breaking again once their bans expired, but admins can check how many times a player has been CTBanned to determine whether or not they need a longer CTBan this time, or to get regularly banned & face a possible ban increase. In the case of alting, it’s something that will always happen with any type of punishment so we’re lucky we have ~70IQ admins who can mostly tell the level one account that just joined right after the player got banned is likely an alt. The CTBans used to be far longer, the maximum punishment being 6 hours I believe, but from what I remember it was found to be far too harsh on players. Moreover, our server, like you mentioned in your other thread, thrives on fast paced & deathmatchy gameplay which usually means guards are overwhelmed, in an unbalanced ratio, and getting absolutely pummeled. So, it would really hamper the entire server if most decent-corrupted guards were always stuck serving a CTBan. @All Ts , or anyone else, let me know if I missed addressing any of your points/questions. Edit: On a decent laptop now so let me address this: If you ever see a player that continuously mass freekills only ever receive a 60 minute CTBan you can go ahead and make a new thread @ing myself and Dom demanding us to sing and i'll get @20 scrolls to make a feature. Seriously though, they may face an initial 60 minute CTBan for their first mass freekill, but if their ban expires and they get back on and mass freekill again, whether it's in a player complaint or from an admin in-game they'll likely get their CTBan time doubled to the max of 2 hours, or like most often get a 1 day ban. For the specific situation you described, that's just not accurate information. After their initial CTBan it is up to admin discretion whether they'd like to make their next ban an extended CTBan (as long as it fits within the protocol) or ban them regularly. If we haven't made it clear enough, that would be my fault, but that's how it's been long before I got SM. As you linked, the ban protocol has changed in a way where you won't face an initial 3 day ban for most things like you used to in 2018 for example. The added part though, is after their first ban the second, third, etc. will be longer and longer. I hope that clears everything up, for you, and for any and all admins.

Should've done it for April Fools, maybe next year!

From the Rules & FAQ's definition on Freezing: If you were crouched and then told to freeze, stay crouched. If you were standing and then told to freeze stay standing. In this scenario where the player was crouched, told to freeze, then told to LR which requires them to stand up, whether or not he can be shot for crouching again can get confusing. I'll always be an advocate of playing laid back as Guard when able to, but @The Real Slim Jim will be @The Real Slim Jim , so I'll clarify. When you were ordered to freeze and LR, regardless of how you were positioned previously, you are now standing. This means after LRing you should stay standing. So to answer the larger question, being crouched can count as being frozen, but continuously crouching and crouching would not count as being frozen. @Tethys @The Real Slim Jim let me know if you guys have any questions

I can’t make this event, but it honestly looks like a lot of fun. The maps are elite and the skins are pretty dope too. Have fun guys!

It's not from this call your doctor again maybe sorry the opportunity was too good to not make a joke

I’ll check this out when I get home soon.

Didn’t we demote you?

Bend to my will I know this is in April first but it’s not a joke. Thank you to the current board and caution for letting this happen. Love ya @Black Rain

On my end I can't see anything wrong with the server. Can you try connecting one more time today if you haven't already? If I still can't figure it out I'll ask someone with a bigger brain than me @ShadoTheLunatic

adding a specific song to a map means recompiling the map and adding the specific sound file to the map. also no because it sucks LLLLLL Next time we/I edit a map (LOL ME EDITING A MAP @20 scrolls) maybe I'll throw it in for you. i've been notified we can do this in an easier way

@spook Your recent posts have been removed as they're lacking content. If you're going to just +1 maps either vote Yes for it to be added or thank the original posts. Posts should be meaningful and significant, so maybe add why you think a map should be added or not (Along with any other type of post made). Forum Rules
