  1. I am going to shit on your face. Great video
  2. I'd be down to cast, but I'd also like to play in one of the scrims as well (gotta flex the new Prime 2.0 skins). One thing to bear in mind is the balancing of teams, last time we tried this event Mikey and Nolan were on the same team and steamrolled the other side. It's probably a good idea to find a solution to this. Looking forward to hearing the ECs' response.
  3. Would be fun to have another VALORANT scrim event, possibility of it being streamed and casted on the Twitch. Last time we had one of these I believe it was my event before I stepped down from staff back in... August (damn that was awhile ago). There have been a lot of changes to VALORANT, new Act is tomorrow as well, and a lot of quality of life changes for spectating as well. Would love to hear others' thoughts on this.
  4. Hacked

    streamcommuninty.co Read the link before you click. This happened to me as well last April because I was a dumbass, hopefully you learned your lesson.
  5. If a Jihad goes off or is detonated but fails then the person who has it is KOS. They aren't KOS if they buy it, and that shouldn't change. Adding in a rule where anyone who has a Jihad is KOS is unnecessary. It's going to end up causing more grief as CTs begin killing people who they think have a Jihad because they heard an arming noise, and sometimes people buy them by accident. This doesn't need to be changed.
  6. @20 scrollsfor KZ SM. If I do not have this I will riot.
  7. All of the threads you've made could be answered with one google search. @Adventist for president.
  8. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to necropost. Thanks to @gweenfor reminding me that this thread even existed. I got shafted by a calculus quiz, and so I decided to make pasta to distract myself from the disappointment that I have realized I am. Feast your eyes, we're back.
  9. White bread. You can do so many things with white bread. You can make a sandwich, you can make grilled cheese, you can make Eggs in a Nest, French Toast, and a plethora of other things. White bread is the best.
  10. Your entire argument is that Ts should not be able to give chat rules. The order "All Ts LR" is rendered invalid when a T wants to LR with certain rules. You cannot force a T to LR without giving rules, and so the cycle of them sending an LR with chat rules and no one accepting it continues until the end of the round, which contradicts the purpose of having an LR system.
  11. I like this idea, might be worth a shot to try it out and see what happens. I haven't played a scrim in months, and every time I check the server it's 0/15. Having scheduled scrims, or times when people know there is a higher chance of other people being on the server, it might incentivize more people to actually get on the server. If you're hiring casters you know I'm the best candidate.
  12. Eliminating chat rules for LR cuts off a good portion of the T playerbase who either doesn't have a mic or chooses not to use it. Sometimes when I'm playing T I don't want to use my mic, and not allowing chat rules is going to cause a lot of problems when players who want to LR but don't have/want to use a mic can't do so anymore. This would also cause more problems than just this: the purpose of having LRs in the first place is to get the round over with quicker so those who have died don't have to wait as long to get into the next round. If you eliminate chat rules, a T then has the option to refuse to LR, because they want to play their way. Then what happens? The round gets dragged out for however long that T wants to just sit there and obey orders, which contradicts the purpose of LRs. Want to put in a rule where if you don't have a mic you have to just LR regularly? That's going to cause people to leave. A good CT should be attentive to both what's being said over VC and what's in the chat. However, I do understand that there are a lot of not-so-good CTs out there. While having a system such as chat rules might result in some miscommunications once in a while, setting up an entirely new rule for this isn't worth the time and effort it will take to integrate it, and it's a minor issue; there are always bigger fish to fry for the management team. If you're a T who wants to give chat rules in an LR, your best bet is to make sure that the CT you send a request to understands your rules. Put them in the chat before you even send a request, make sure that they are clear on what the rules are. If Ts are exploiting this to make CTs slay or get freedays, well that's simply against the rules, under the giant bold "no exploits" rule. A new rule is not necessary.
  13. Why would you admit that... Player complaint incoming.
  14. Tie Breaker! N or L

    My favorite letter is L. As in Live on Twitch: @kabLeplaying Valorant.
  15. This has been a topic of discussion for a long time now, and my personal opinion is that the rules should remain as they are now. If a T damages a CT in any way, shape or form, they are KOS. If the managers were to change this rule, then a lot of grey areas would have to be specified, as well as specific scenarios that would or would not be classified as baiting. While some regulars might see situations as pretty clear cut, such as when a CT walks into a T that is already knifing, there are a lot of iffy situations and possible complaints that would arise that just wouldn't be worth the time and effort to clarify something that is that miniscule and minor. Just use your common sense. If you don't want to take the chance of getting killed by a strict CT or a newer player, then just don't knife. If it was a mistake, 90% of players, both CT and T, will recognize that and won't kill you. If a CT walks into you while knifing, that particular CT cannot kill you as that would be T-bait. However, that does not prevent another CT from killing you, as in the most fundamental form possible you damaged a CT.
  16. TV Shows

    You're just fucking weird. @ChadPerson of Interest
  17. If anyone does want to read a book with information in it, I would recommend The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell. It basically talks about and explores the sociological changes that occur in daily life, and it was the first non-fiction book I've ever read which I genuinely enjoyed and found interesting. https://www.amazon.com/Tipping-Point-Little-Things-Difference-ebook/dp/B000OT8GD0
  18. Yikes. Considering that all of your skin names on the servers are "Dolo 4 Admin" and every time I check the forums I see you talking about applying for admin, it's quite funny to me to see how in one message you've pretty much lost everyone's respect. Touching upon the baseless accusation that SG has a recent activity of "not doing anything about inactive CA+'s", I remember distinctly back when I was CA and Kieran and Gentoo were the LAs, we were explicitly told that there would be changes and activity would be of importance to retaining our positions. Now that was all the way back in early July I believe, but I know the current LAs pretty well (at least I would believe I do), and @Maniacis my homie. I don't doubt that all of them have been or are currently are able to manage a team properly and if you're going to use this as a springboard to lash out against how you think SG should be run, and flaws you see in particular team structures, the least that you could do is provide some accompanying evidence.
  19. I think that this change is interesting, and I'd like to see how admin applications change and move forward from this point. While I do think that a lot of regulars do have good opinions, and unfortunately they won't be able to voice those opinions on applications anymore, it's always been the same: opinions and input from higher-up staff members always hold more weight. Back when I applied for admin and got it in April of last year, I had something along the lines of 20 supports from regulars. I'd ask around for my chances and people would still say that my application was iffy because I didn't have too much support from any administrators or higher-ups (CA+). There is some valid point to the argument that CAs and SMs probably don't have the same level of playtime as regulars, or even server administrators, but I think that an important point to be made is that although forum activity isn't really required, integrating oneself into the community is. You're not going to be able to get into a staff rank if nobody knows who you are. Integrating yourself into the community is a very broad idea, and can be done through the forums, can be done through the Discord, or on the servers themselves. When you put yourself out there and meet new people, it can be seen what kind of person you are and if you have the necessary traits/skills or whatever to hold a staff position. Another point is that probably half of the regulars and even some of the staff, including server administrators themselves, have no clue how to vote on applications. John's post above with all of the quotes is a perfect representation of this. Yes, this does mean that the few regulars and lower staff who do put effort and time into their votes and think about what they're going to say won't be able to do so anymore, but I think that overall this is a step in the right direction.
  20. @Adventist mon favorito i love him in a homosexual manner.
  21. works that mock ideas, public figures, or events using sarcasm, irony, ridicule, among other devices.
  22. Man, y'all are really milking deli for all he's got. Gonna end up rolling 3 $50 steam gift cards...
  23. This is a very generous thing to do mr. deli, thank you very much for the opporunity. I'd personally like some LED Lights such as these to put up in my room. These would be especially helpful considering I have one lamp that has a set brightness and I would appreciate the ability to change colors and vary brightness. Thank you sir.
