Heres the notes I took:
Jailbreak Community Meeting 4/11/2020 (3:00 - 4:45 PM EST)
*Introduction*
Management Changes:
-both fantastic and militaryking stepped off of managing JB
-Infinityward and Dominic stepped up to help manage alongside Bacon
-Dominic's managament may change if another AT steps up to manage JB
-Current managers: Dominic, Infinityward, and Bacon
Administration:
-Jailbreak has always been lacking admins
-We can always use more admins
-If you are an admin and you see someone who would make a good admin, encourage them
-Admins, if you have an issue, come to management about it
-Current administration is doing great but could be improved
-If you're having trouble getting admin, work on the things mentioned in your application
-tldr admins have lives but administration can be improved
Voice Communication Issues:
-Jailbreak is being ruined thread (Gumline)
-Giving orders and side conversations are clogging the micrphone
-Team mute has been implemented to combat this problem
-Warden has been canceled a few times but IS NOT off the table
-Possibly add "there is no warden" advertisement that pops up in chat occasionally
-54 slot server
-Warden is definitely something to consider
-Bring the discussion back up???
Plugin Revision:
-Removed and replaced LR plugin (thanks Cept)
-Continue to develop and improve the LR plugin and add more options, possibly removing rocket toss in gun toss
-New rules menu (/rules, /help, /faq) revised
-Possible CT Queue (Buffed ratio control); You would have to wait to join CT
-Possible ghost plugin for roaming around after death
-If you encounter a bug with new plugins PLEASE report them in the Jailbreak crash, bugs, and errors thread
Extending Map Cooldown:
-We get a few maps played alot of the time(Razor, VIP, summer jail, etc.)
-Play 5 different maps before you play another
-Extend this to more than 5 so different maps are played
-At the same time, people do enjoy razer so this might take power out of the peoples hands
-Group razor with other razors, spy v spy, etc.
-^ Not well received in the past
Recent and Future Events:
-Low number of events available (juggernaut, protect the president, admins v members, etc.)
-Possibly do more of these more regularly
-New ideas for JB events, request in events request section
General Rule Discussion:
-Made a few changes to the rules in the past few months
Crossfire:
-"If a CT is being careless and sprays into a stack/iso and damages/kills multiple people then they are subject to punishment."
-Up to admin discretion
Teamkilling rule:
-In both rules and FAQ
-Remove it?
-FAQ answers the question and provides an exception
Gun Toss General Rules:
-Good idea but hasn't been looked at in a while
Time between warning shots:
-No set time
-Reasonable is very vague
-Up for discussion
Warday Rule:
-Every map Ts can vote to have a warday event or a juggernaut-like event
-Up for discussion
Ratio:
-Ratio plugin might be broken
-1:1 ratio is possible if there is not enough people
Map Pool:
-If a map is not being played, make a map removal suggestion
Map testing event:
-Use regulars to decide if they like the map and want to add it
-Most well recieved map gets an award and gets added
-Map Purge/Addition Event
-https://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=80503
-One concern is that it's not enough with how many people are on at the time
Beacon Vote:
-If a CT is camping and the Ts can't find him they can vote to beacon him to speed up the round and allow for more rounds in a single map
-CT camping is not a major issue enough to warrant an abuseable power this is
CT Mics:
-People take fo and give chat orders
-Pop up in the middle of the screen
-Possibly apply this to last CT if they don't have a mic
-Consider bringing this discussion up again
-Restricting CTs who don't use a mic forces them to do something they might not want to do
!FO length:
-30 second for
-45 second for >30 people
Remove nades:
-Can be used to warning shot or kill Ts
Don't Force LRs:
-LR speeds up the round
-Forces Ts to either LR or rebel
-If you win, you're not KOS; People argued that it was counterintuitive to the entire point of LR, to speed up the round
5 Extra Health for CT:
-CTs are underpowered and need the health
-Discussion can be brought back up possibly
Admins being able to unmute CTS if !fo order is a freeday:
-Possible fix or discussion soon
Blatantcy:
-Add definition to /rule or /faq possibly
Sub or VIP custom weapon skins:
-Soon TM
30 Minute CT Lockout:
-Possibly discuss extending or shortening it
-Most people aren't gonna read the rules so they have to learn by watching other CTs
-Pros and Cons for both arguments
