As Wreck said, we do have some events lined up that are not in CS:GO. We've also had many events that are in different games, such as Ark, GTA V, skribbl.io, secrethitler.io, bombparty.io, and others. If you have a game that we've not done in the past, feel free to let us know right here in Event Suggestions. We do try to focus a lot of our events around Global Offensive / Steam, because that's where the majority of our community resides. In-server events are incredibly easy to access and set up (mostly), while other games may be a bit harder to setup or get interest for, because not everybody may have that game, or is willing to dish out money to buy it.

Most of these ideas have been discussed, either in community meetings or in staff meetings. There are currently some ideas floating around on how to incentivize people to play CT, but mainly we're trying to focus less on buffing thr CTs and more on nerfing the Ts. I definitely think the custom skin for top CTs is a great idea, as well as the recent suggestion of having LR points for CTs. I don't really think gun skins would be an effective way of making people want to play CT, as you would be restricting Ts from having them. I don't know about graffitis either.

I took a quick look through the map and I agree one hundred percent with what @TheZZL said. This map has a lot to offer in terms of minigames and such, but what it's lacking is secrets. Our servers take less of a role-play and more of a death-match way of playing Jailbreak, as can be seen by playing old and new razor 50 times a day. Maps that don't really have this quick, jarring playstyle pace wouldn't really fit on our servers. Ts need a quick way to rebel and cause chaos, and it's much harder to do that without the presence of secrets. It's definitely a cool map which could for some servers, but at the moment I don't think it would fit in ours.

Damn Dominic, I didn't think you'd be leaving us so soon. I've got a couple of words for you myself. You were always the person who I looked up to, ever since I joined the community. Seeing you go definitely hurts, as I know we'll be losing one of the most valuable members of the staff here. But, as we all know, you can always check out of Steam-Gamers, but you can never leave. Peace out homie, I'll be waiting for your golden name. i'll still never forgive you for flaming me when I made my application back in april tho ):

me and my homies hate clouds. But on a more serious note I really am not a fan of this map, I get maybe 10 frames on it at best, and I just feel as though it's too big of a map to be able to enforce. If there's a T rebelling and hiding, it takes so long to find them, and same with a camping CT.

As people have said before, the 1st cell order is only really used on three maps: Old Razor, New Razor, and VIP. These maps are just so frequently played on our servers that even if you have no idea what that order means, you'll clearly be able to tell based on the behavior of the other Ts once the order is given. If someone asks where first cell is, most people will say it's the column of cells that's closest to armory. I would say that first cell is the cell that is closest to isolation. You almost never hear first cell orders on maps like Clouds, or Obama, and there are some maps that don't even have an isolation, like SpyvsSpy. That's kind of a loose definition as well, but I think that there doesn't really need to be a solid definition for it.

I actually really like this idea. It would force the CTs to maintain control of the Ts, because if they let them get out of control the chances of them LRing are very slim. It would also lower the chances of when a T wins a LR, them getting instantly domed by a kill-hungry CT. CTs would be more willing to allow Ts to LR multiple times, as it would give them a chance to get CT points. However, this would require a bit of tweaking to the LR system; for example, if the T is killed by a weapon that's not the LR weapon, it does not give points, same with the CT. Thoughts @Bacon @Infinityward @Dominic?

I've heard that the first three days are a living nightmare, but I've also heard that it hurts like hell whenever you have your wires tightened. How does the pain compare when you have your wires tightened to when you first get them on?

What's up y'all, I'll be getting my braces on July 1st. I wish I could have gotten them on earlier, as I'll have to be wearing them my senior year and freshman year of college (yikes), but there's not much I can do about it. What are your experiences with braces, and do you have any tips / strategies that are helpful when dealing with the pain, or to make your life easier?

this is beautiful.

wait I have to have Vanya AND Scrolls on my team? Nah, I'm a reg for this event. edit: I forgot about jmc and kuri too, ew

This could be a cool feature, but as you said it's not really that pressing of an issue, and there are other more important things that the Jailbreak managers are working on right now. However, in the future this could be a feature that is considered.

You don't have to get it deleted, just wait for one of the ATs to get to this thread.

I don't think this is a viable solution. While I do agree that it's easy to get gunplanted by a T buddy if they die while trying to kill a guard, your best bet is to move away from the rebellers if you're just trying to survive. If you're in a stack with a rebelling T with a gun, move away from them. You might take a warning shot, but if you stay with them the chances of getting crossfired or gunplanted is much higher. I think the rule is fine now, what you're suggesting is basically the rule for drawing pistols. It would be hard to keep track of who picked up what primary, and it would result in a lot of this: "he freekilled me, I only picked up the AK for 1 second." It would also be a great advantage for Ts, because if they picked up a primary and ran around a corner/ducked away, you wouldn't immediately be able to kill them.

Casual says this perfectly but I just want to touch upon some of the other things you said. The giant penis secret on Lego Jail is not KOS because you don't have to use a secret to get to it, it's simply a decoy that you pick up. It is a secret, but it is a cosmetic secret so it's not KOS. Vents, teleporters, invisible buttons and ladders, and all of the other usual suspects are KOS.

Anyone can have a GIF as their signature picture. Only VIPs and AT+ can have GIFs as profile pictures. Sorry for the misinformation ):

The event is over! Thanks to everyone who participated, it was super fun and I hope to have another one soon. Huge thanks to @Dreamz and @Bacon (but not dominic) for helping run this event!

bump, the event is tomorrow @ 6PM EST!

congrats!
