  5. Whatever happens with this, I just want to make sure that no one listens to a word jmc says about resetting the point rankings. Points shouldn't be what these ranks are decided on, and points should stay exactly the way they are.

  8. The idea of being punished for pixel surfing in JB is kinda dumb, tbh. There's no benefit to pixel jumping on JB in the maps where it does exist for either the T or CT side. As far as I know, there's a pixel surf on the edge of dodge course platform on undertale where if you wait for the platform to fall down you can hook yourself on the edge of two textures clouds extreme climb but clouds gone so ayy electric vip obstacle course, (used to?) be able to surf on wall opposite the ladder but this is a completely pointless spot besides hiding and why not just be on the ladder It's not about it being tough to find spots to perform the bug; once you find spots to do it at, you end up in an arguably worse position to be in, on T or CT. As a T, you're either disobeying another order in these spots (be in/actively pursuing dodge course, be actively pursuing extreme climb, how tf would this last spot be useful). As CT, you're j chilling in a super weird spot where it might be easier to get knifed. I don't think its ever been an issue, or really could ever be one, so why worry about it?

  10. I don't need no superpower of determination. I fucking create saffron out of thin air. I have the power to ransom the entire spice-producing agricultural economy of central Asia (and Pennsylvania.) With 250,000 kg of saffron produced worldwide every year, I need to yeet only 685 kg of saffron out of my body every day to develop a majority in the global saffron market. The average retail price of a kg of saffron in 2018 was $3000. A kg of coke might be $24,000 in the U.S., but at least my product is legal. I take a mid-March road trip up to Pennsylvania. I seek out the Dutch. In an old brown farmhouse 20 minutes northeast of Lititz, I find him. A man dressed in sepia-toned farmclothes stained with red dust, suckling on the crimson stigma of a Crocus sativus. The saffron flower. I offer him a simple proposition. I have already purchased 25 hectares of land adjacent to his current saffron farm. He expands his operation and lets no one besides his workers on site, and I handle the selling of the product- he receives $40,000 a month in return. I have successfully surreptitiously secured my shell business. After undercutting my Spanish, Iranian, and Turkish competition into the ground, I buy up their fields to morph into nature reserves, eliminating the threat of returning businesses. I have a stranglehold on the worldwide market. I bring my prices up to more comfortable margins, yet still below the previous $3000 per kg. Forbes publishes an article on the now-millionaire Pennsylvania Dutchman who has taken over the world saffron market. He goes on to the Today show, spouting bullshit about luck, perseverance, and hard work. After, he calls me up at his hotel room and we chuckle at the stupidity of the common folk. As he goes to hang up, I hear a slight nervousness through his cackles. Though we have been working together for years now, he has still never understood the truth. He never questions where the surplus saffron comes from, though the sheer amount of vermilion spice that is "made on his farm" leaves him baffled. Returning home after the sun has set, leaving a smattering of reds and oranges on the sky, he sits on his eggshell porch under candlelight. In the rocking chair his father crafted so many years ago, he scribbles on a yellowed piece of paper, casually multiplying and dividing numbers of thousands and millions in his head. He's done all these calculations before. His harvest yields before he met me, divided by the square footage of his previously modestly-sized farmstead. Though he is certain my farming skills pale in comparison to his own experienced mind and weathered hands, he multiplies the number to 140% of its value to account for any increase in percent yield. Then, times the current square footage of "his" land. An immensely large number. Out of the recesses of his mind, he pulls a mental image of the Forbes article I printed for him two summers ago. A different number, though rounded, towers over his calculations like Goliath unto David. It's impossible. A god-fearing man, he wonders again if He stood in front of him on that cold midday in the ides of March. A thought he has always had, and had always hoped was both truth and fallacy. For as much as he wishes he could meet the true Him, no loving God would be so self-serving as to only benefit himself and an Amishman from the eastern woods of Pennsylvania. Picking up the candle, he pinches the paper at the midpoint on its right side and brings it into his living room, ritualistically placing the sheet on top of an identical stack nearly two feet high. Steps creak as he walks toward his bedroom. On the mahogany bedside table, he sets down the candle. Sliding into bed next to his wife, he snuffs out the candle to go slip into an restful sleep. I lean backwards, stretching my neck to relieve myself of the tension built up after craning over a computer monitor for the last hour. On my screen is the farmer's bedroom. Him. His wife. I close out of the camera feed and stand up. Heaving a contented sigh, I leave my office, not bothering to turn off the computer or lights. I shuffle my feet through the floors of my spice mansion. Making my way to my bedroom, I pass under the arched doorway and go straight into my Supima sheets. I stare up at the mahogany arch to read the words inscribed in gold leaf. Contrasted against the deep brown of the wood is the phrase to end the farmer's inquisitveness. Proverbs 16:6- Through loyalty and love, iniquity is appeased; through fearing the Lord one avoids evil. fuck the amish ayy
  11. Little late to this post but would a custom DZ game in csgo be the easiest to implement?
  12. honestly if any of this could get infinitypsycho a nice 24hrs I wouldn't be upset

  18. creten u so smart, exactly the reason I didn’t want to post this whenever I go on our surf it’s a school for the mute and deaf and it make me sad
  19. This happened today on JB on electric. All Ts were in iso, one player had a USP and was shooting at Ts. A CT that tried to kill him died and dropped his nova in iso, another player picked it up, then dropped it and I caught it. I NEVER took a shot with it. One CT gave the order, in these exact words, "if you are a T with a weapon and you would like freeday, take a step out of iso with your gun and throw it towards sauna." I had the nova, I walked out when the door was opened with it NOT in my hands, and was immediately shot by a CT. This CT said, in his exact words, "whoh dude, that's a primary. Let's change that to anyone with a secondary step out of iso." Is that BS or not? I'm honestly not sure myself, but I was given a direct order to follow a task, I did it to a T, and was killed while fulfilling that order.
  20. @idealist imagine not wanting to clutter forums and make 6 threads so you keep everything in 1 thread, but admins tell you to separate it into multiple threads so that people can have discussion, just for another admin to start bitching at you for doing exactly what two admins told you to do. Bonus imagine: the admin that bitches at you illustrates your point like a Picasso painting while continuing to bitch. You said, Well if the rules already exist, for a large percentage of my issues, as I have said, word for word in other posts, why not just put them in the Rules page? That's pretty much half of my argument right there! Thank you for saying it for me so eloquently! The rules exist. So why don't you do what you should do with rules, and just put them in the rules section? being totally honest here, I want to drop something I hope isn't a reality check. If you're not a regular, you don't give a fuck about the forums. Even if you are a regular on a server, you still might not have a forums account. Now if you don't have a forums account, then why on EARTH would you care to go look at some random year old Rules Discussion forum link another player sends you when they say you're breaking the rules? If it's not on the rules page, they're not going to read it. What's the harm in a few extra lines of text if, whether they're inside the Rules page or not, they're still going to be treated as rules? I promise you, your playerbase isn't dumb. They can read. So give them the rules to read, in the post that is literally titled "Rules and FAQ". If they can find the rules where they expect them to be, they will follow them.
  21. @urp @Trazz I never wanted it to be automatic, and yes I agree that's dumb. In an optimal world where CS:GO plugins were easy to create and implement bug-free, I would love a system that just tallies how many !fk reports a player has received a map/each day, so admins who join a server that's in chaos have a data set that gives them a suggestion of who to watch and who might be making problems on a map. Wouldn't that be helpful information to have as an admin when you first join a server? A list of the players who are being reported the most that day/map? Again, this is where an admin's discretion comes in. You would have to differentiate between someone getting mass reported with !fk for being a squeaker, and a player getting legitimate reports, but admins know their playerbase the best. If an admin joins a server to four regulars all complaining about the same fresh CT, and you see this CT has double-digit freekill reports on the current map, it might be a good idea to spectate the player, or switch them off of CT for a bit.
  22. I appreciate the discussion this point is getting, but I'd like to clarify two things about my intentions for this point, one of which is small: 1. @TheZZL @thump The title "Epic Bosses" for the players I describe is just a term so I don't have to write out "the CTs that engage in this specific behavior and cause these problems." Yes, Epic Bosses comes from the player xxRealEpicBossmanxx or whatever his name was, who was a caricature of this exact behavior. I don't want to target specific members of the community, so I used a player who demonstrated this behavior (and was banned for it last night) as a catch-all for the people I am describing. 2. @Dom @Trazz If you can state this in bold on a Rules Suggestion thread, and state as fact that 1-2 kills is crossfire and anything higher than that is freekilling, then why not just make it a rule? This is the point I made on the MS5/Interfering in an LR post. If the admins have a protocol they follow when an incident happens, that is treated essentially as a rule by the admins, then what point is there at all to not putting it in the rules? If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck... With these suggestions, administrators are responding by saying "yes, we already have a way to deal with these situations, this is the rule we follow." Well, it's great that the administrators know what to do when these things happen, but if these "rules" aren't on the Rules page, how are new players and regulars who haven't asked these questions before, supposed to know about these "rules" or definitions? It is SO much easier as a non-admin to quote a rule from the rules page to get someone to stop engaging in bad behavior than it is to quote some obscure forum post with 200 views made half a year ago. What harm is there to put what seem to be cut-and-dry admin procedures for these problems in the rules?
  23. I might end up repeating myself over threads, but I disagree with the idea of implied rules, especially in a game like JB. Significant rules for the game are "implied". Why not just put it in writing on the rules page? What benefit is there to having an implied rule instead of writing it out if it's an issue that happens? Never mind the frequency, if an issue that players are experiencing could be solved with a rule that's implied, what detriment could occur if that implication was written out on the rules page? I would argue, for a server that experiences a large amount of new players due to CT rules, that it would be better to overconstrain rules to the point of specificity, rather than have unclear implications that only those who seek out the implications or get told them by admins understand them. This is similar to the issue I have with crossfire. If admins are going to slay you for crossfiring more than 2 people, what reason is there to give to not put that in the rules?
  24. 6) "LR in the next 15 seconds. I'm not going to accept your LR, but LR in 15 seconds." My final situation makes my blood boil every time it happens. A CT tells the remaining prisoners to freeze and LR in a very short amount of time, then either the CT or other CTs deny the LRs, and they kill the prisoners after the assigned time passes. This is just a KOS order. That's all it is. A CT is telling a T to complete an action by a certain time when they need the CTs approval to complete the action, the CT prevents the T from doing it, and then kills the T. This is the same as telling prisoners to rush to big cage when cell doors are shut and then killing them for it. I've scoured the Rules page, the changelog, and question posts to see if there is a rule for this, but again there isn't one. This needs to be stopped, because it is never, ever dealt with. Epic Bosses give the excuse of "I set a time to LR by", and the whole freekill is forgot about. The rule I propose is "A CT cannot deny a standard LR if an 'LR by' timed order is given." TL;DR: Denying given LRs when an "LR by" order is given, then killing the T for it. Rule: A CT cannot deny a standard LR if an 'LR by' timed order is given.
  25. 5) "I'm not cheating in LR, since I'm not in your LR." This brings me to my penultimate point which I can't believe doesn't have a rule attached to it. On the JB Rules page, there is the rule "A CT is not allowed to cheat or delay during an LR." This rule doesn't address other CTs outside of the LR purposely interfering in the LR, which happens enough to be a problem, especially with these Epic Bosses. They can interfere by standing in front of/next to/behind the player, blocking their movement, or standing in the player's line of sight (like in Gun Toss or Shot 4 Shot), picking up the player's deagle/getting shot by the player, and then killing the T for losing the LR. After looking around in forums and asking in Shoutbox, @Love_ swears there is a rule for this somewhere, but I cannot find it for the life of me. If it does exist, then it needs to be enforced and spread to the playerbase, because many players (including me until this post) aren't aware of this rule. If it doesn't exist, then there should be a rule to prevent CTs from purposely blocking a T from moving around during an LR, or preventing them from having a clear line of sight if it's an LR like Shot 4 Shot. TL;DR: Using warning shots for past orders to justify giving no warning shot and killing for a new order. Rule: No new rule, just spread awareness of the rule that exists and enforce that rule.
