Hey man maybe we can do another superhero event in the future and you can use the starlord/thanos skins

That's what I've heard, we'll do some experimenting and hopefully get a member of the Modding Team to figure it out.

We're already 11 days into the competition, and a little less than three and a half weeks left. Make sure to get online and maintain your positions! Also remember, this competition is for the Top 3 Gangs AND Top 3 CTs! Check out the leaderboards in-game by typing !cttop and !topgangs Here are the prizes incase you forgot! Prizes First Place: Unique Model for the entire Top Gang & Top CT* Second Place: 10,000 Credits for each participating member in a Gang & second placed CT Third Place: 5,000 Credits for each participating member in a Gang & third placed CT

Had to take the "Average TTT Player" model off the server because it was crashing the server and the map issue with summer jail and revamp will also be addressed soon, apologies! If the skin comes back we'll have it priced at a discount as well for all those inconvenienced.

Yeah you're right, same would apply for TTT too I imagine. We have no way of auto-unblocking them since it's an valve thing. However if some rule breaking/miscommunication occurs because of it just get the players to unblock the person and go easy since it was a mistake.

I make a vote, "Let ZZL's Brother give an order", it passes. "Okay guys I'm going to rant a little bit about my final" *Rants for about 20 seconds* "Okay you have to actually give an order" "EVERYONE SHOOT THE SKY" "No you can't do that prisoners don't have guns"

This should stop you dead in your tracks. We're all on the same team here, right? I'll respond to some other comments when I get home later today.

Both @Gentooand @phoenix_ make very good points, so please read their responses if you haven't already. There are a lot of things that go in and out of our meta depending on the circumstances, and currently because of the Gang Wars & CT Rank Race Event a lot of people are gravitating towards T side making CT side more difficult as they are competing for kills. People have given headshot warning shots with different weapons for a long time, and it usually fades away because they get shit on for being toxic. Any radical rule change disallowing headshot warning shots or only allowing the last Guard to give a freeze order is unreasonable and frankly displays immaturity when it comes to dealing with issues. To those giving headshot warning shots, understand that as a Guard you impact every player's experience on the server and unnecessary toxic behavior is not tolerated. It is understandable, and ok, to get strict when losing with a natural disadvantage, but it is okay to lose; The point of the server is to have fun, not to stomp the Prisoners into the ground. @Easterpink If Guards are repeatedly ordering the Prisoners to freeze/unfreeze or stay crouched for an extended period of time they are giving unreasonable and sometimes confusing orders, so you have the ability as an admin to stop them from doing that. We'll see if this issue continues, but it is more a culture and poor instinctual issue rather than one we should forcefully change. So, try to be a bit more understanding and relaxed when on CT side, and know you are actively effecting the mood of the server depending on the orders you give. I'll leave the thread open for discussion.

Fixed, thanks @Ero. The issue was a stripper we added to rename the cell button for the logs & a new plugin we were looking into, but because the button has other functions in the map (such as opening strafe jump & deleting cell games) it broke the button.

Actually I think I know what the issue is, let me look into it.

I was plagued by this clip for too long, but it's too funny

Thanks for everyone who came out to the event, like all our recent one's the event went a little longer than expected but people still had fun! Shout out to @gweenfor hosting and @Easterpinkfor the event idea. A little rundown for anyone who missed it, we started with old vip which got us almost to 30 players, then moved onto OBAMNA where some people didn't like the map too much. So, we definately won't be adding back obama, and since we have a new VIP version we won't add that one back either. Moving on, we switched to spy vs spy which the people liked after a vote, but we dipped our population down to around 20 after obama. Finally, we played Clouds and had a good time (I hope), and the version we played seems to be the one we'll add to the server. If you have any Event or Map Suggestions please be sure to make them!

It's still going on don't worry, just connect

Map #2, OBAMNA (aka jb_obama_v5_beta_fixv4)! Get online to not miss out on Spy Vs Spy and Clouds next!

12/4/20 Reset !topgangs and !cttop leaderboards for the Gang Wars & CT Rank Race Event Updates: Updated the Gangs plugin thanks to @Nishok Fixed bugs Gang names now reflected in the scoreboard behind Prisoner's names !topgangs will now refresh from map switch Multiple alias commands (I.e !topgangs and !gangs will work with or without the s)

Yes that is the idea. I’ll make a changelog sometime today announcing when everything (CT Ranks & Gangs) is officially reset.

This has been in the works for a long time, special shoutout goes to @Nishokfor working so diligently on the plugin and fixing all the bugs! Be sure to get online tomorrow to start gaining points, and remember to show up at out event @ 6PM EST.

Issue is fixed.

No, once the round ends damage should be off, but when this was implemented you could still take fall damage and die. I think this is only an issue because he shot right when the round ended, will have to look into it more. Looks like damage was enabled after the round ended, will re-disable that.

Honestly, when I think of anyone to appreciate obviously the usual suspects come to mind; the tech team, my friends, admins I climbed the ranks with, higherups who believed in me, yadada. But right now I'm really just reflecting on where I am and how everything around me in this community was worked on by countless other before me who all had the same common interest, Jailbreak. Big shoutout to @Grateful @Wawa @Dominic @All Ts @BoM @Nuclear Onion @Military_king @fantastic @delirium- Basically most of the Jailbreak staff, managers, representatives, and admins. My entire past two years has been all about this fantastic gamemode formed and developed by all of you, and many more throughout this community. As I've been here, and climbed the ranks, I take a look back at these old discussion threads with such appreciation and esteem, I just hope I can impact meaningful and good change that hopefully amounts to even half of what some others have done before me. If you're one of the people I tagged, hey, it's Jailbreak regular, server manager, 16 year old, and newfag TheZZL here. Thanks for the work you've put into the server I love so much.

You guys would be right. Like the post @BloodBladeslinked, as well as in the Rules and FAQ, Guards are not allowed to repeat the same order often. This includes freedays, and it means Guards should be giving a variety of orders and not sticking to the same order round after round. Please feel free to report them with !calladmin or ask them kindly to give different orders. For maps like revamp and razor where it can get boring, try hosting/asking for voluntary deathgames. They can be very fun, and good examples of voluntary deathgames are Simon Says, Hide & Seek, Zombie Freeday, First Reaction/Last Reaction, and Floor is Lava. Any type of rule disallowing freedays to be given would be a little complicated to enforce, and would be more of a headache than a relief because of how they can be revoked at any time. Our current system is fine, we just need to get some more creative and inspirational Guards. Feel free to continue the discussion or ask any questions you have @dolo.
