Congrats everyone!

Congrats on the promo!

If you have not yet heard, Australia is undergoing a major bush fire crisis. There have been many animal deaths and about 11 human casualties. The fires are burning all around, destroying everything in it's path. On my behalf of my business, I decided to pledge a donation to help with the crisis. You can do the same by visiting https://www.stopthefire.gg Your donation doesn't need to be anywhere near mine or any higher than others. Every little bit counts. Keep in mind that most of the fire fighters are volunteers who are putting their life at risk for absolute 0 pay. Also, fire fighting equipment is very expensive. - Patrick

Thanks to all of you! Sorry for the late reply.

I setup my 20 gallon reef tank about a year ago, my dad has always been in the hobby and absolutely loves the ocean. I couldn't name where he hasn't been to dive, Cozumel, Egypt, Caribbean Islands, I could go on. I decided to take a great chunk out of my business gains to get an upgrade which is the 60 gallon tank. I recently moved everything over and the picture of that coral is one that I actually just bought from the fish shop a couple of days ago. I might post some pictures of my fish tomorrow since its bed time for them and the lights have been off for hours. The colors on the fish are so beautiful and vibrant, and of course, I have 2 "nemos"

I have a 60 gallon reef tank and keep variants of saltwater fish and some corals. This picture is of my branching hammer coral.

Congrats crazed, you definitely deserved it!

Sorry to hear that, Chad. It's one thing to see a person suffering of such a horrible disease/illness but it's another when it's your own family. My great grandmother had Parkinson's disease as well. It's sad to see what it does to people but we just have to power through it and live with the time you have. Just try to visit her as much as possible and call her. Every moment counts.

I can agree from firsthand experience in the late night hours ;)

So I did the server but still don't see my e-gift for a new pair of over hear headphones... um??? Ill wait like 10 more minutes but if I don't have them by then, youre a scammer

Ive been playing it. Whats your discord? I will add you and we could create a posee

I see, my bad. If you’re talking about modifying the game, yes. There are many custom things you can make/get like custom plugins, car models, player models, and more.

Not sure where you got squad from? I listed two games; FiveM and HLL. HLL indeed is player demanding but FiveM could be enjoyed with even 2 or 3 people. It’s all about creativity and imagination with FiveM.

I talked a tiny tiny bit about it with John on discord. I'm sure he will fill you in. It's something that'll require work but it'll pay off. FiveM is so enjoyable as you can literally get bored doing one thing and start another. Also one thing to note that I said to John, FiveM is also releasing a RDR2 roleplay app here in coming weeks. That's something SG should def. hop on ASAP to get the advantage of being one of the first servers.

As for the development side of FiveM, coming from experience, this would be a breeze. As for managing members it could be a problem but I’m sure it could be figured out. As for Hell Let Loose, I am not sure about development. The staffing side of this game most likely wouldn’t be an issue because as I said the server is basically autopilot. There’s not much you could do to troll other than team kill which would get you kicked automatically after a certain amount of times.

Don’t say this! It takes time to build a consistent playerbase. I would love for a FiveM server to be introduced because it’s basically where I call home. Been playing since RageMP. Anyways, I do know LUA. FiveM development is fairly easy to work around and manage, I even still have my old server files so getting a server up wouldn’t be a hard task. I’d love to help! Let me know, maybe we could talk about it.

You have a fair point but coming from building my FiveM server up, it takes time. It took me 3-4 months just I get an active 15ish people a day out of a 32 limit. Yes it takes time but it’ll pay off with a little hard work. BTW: I mean add them as new game servers, not incorporated into CS. Sorry for the confusion Edit: Hell Let Loose is one I recommend because it’s an enjoyable game and is still in its early stages. Starting one now would be the best idea to actually grow a playerbase.

I come from playing a lot of FiveM and Hell Let Loose. I feel that SG could definitely grow a large player base on these games and expand. FiveM: For those who don’t know what this is, it’s a modification to GTA where you role play in servers as anything you want basically. There are two types of servers, one economy, and the other, trainer. The economy server requires a bit more time and has slower roleplay. In this type you actually have to get jobs to earn money and to buy stuff. In a trainer server, there is a menu you use to spawn cars and weapons etc. I have run a trainer server before which was pretty big at one point and the developing side was very easy. Helll Let Loose Hell Let Loose is a fairly new released game which is based in the time period of World War 2. This game doesnt have an “official sever” but instead is built on community servers sort of like battlefield. Each game has 2 teams with a max of 50 players per team. In each team there is a commander and below that are squad leaders for different squads which could include things like tank operators. Leaders of that squad can speak to the squad members as well as to the commander while memebers if the squad can only talk to the other members and their leader. There is a proximity chat. The point of the game is for the commander to lead all the squads by giving individual orders to squad leaders. From my experience playing this game, people play it very seriously and there is not many trolls. Basically the server is good to go on autopilot once setup as there aren’t many trolls. There may be one here and there but from my experience I haven’t seen any very often. Also I feel that since it is a fairly new game, it could be easier to build a server up now before the game gets bigger. PS: y’all should definitely checkout Hell Let Loose if you haven’t and add me to play. It’s pretty damn intense.

How do you go about recommending a server type or a server for a game that hasn’t been added?

I will pay the extra cost if your mobo supports m.2

Why would you buy a SATA ssd!!! You should’ve bought an NVMe M.2 drive for about $30 more. Maybe it was your budget or your mobo doesn’t have a m.2 slot but if that’s not the case then that was a mistake
