HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG! To celebrate 14 years of SG, we'll be hosting a six hour Anniversary Stream Friday, February 26th from 4PM-10PM EST featuring our Streamer Team! Come by the Official SG Twitch to hang out and play with our Streamers! Get excited for a special event during the stream, Supporter Hide and Seek! Title's: Little Nightmare Supporter Exclusive Hide and Seek! The Forest Among Us among other titles. (If you are interested in streaming during the 6 hour stream then send Mace a message on discord). Event: The Supporter Exclusive Hide and Seek Event will start promptly at 6 PM EST! Supporters, the IP is shown on the event announcement in the Basic Supporter Subforum. The server password will be released 5-10 minutes before the event starts in the event announcement, get online quick before the server fills up! Fourteen Years is an amazing accomplishment and it couldn't have been done without all SG's community members. Past, present, players & staff alike. Thank you all for finding a place at SG and here's to another 14 years! Viva La Steam (Hyphen) Gamers!

If they use your idea for an event, you will get a tag & credit for the suggestion when the event is announced.

Sucks that you tested positive, hope ya get back to 100%. For me it was 4 days of stomach pain, headaches and chills with after a visit to my doctor & a referral to the Hospital I learned that my appendix was estimated 45mins-1.5hrs away from bursting at the time I went in for surgery. Not entirely sickness but I thought it was the flu or something and I never refused my moms suggestion(s) to go to the doctor's again to this day.

Best promo thread by far. Congrats guys

I'm not an expert by any means when it comes to specs within computers but I personally wouldn't recommend HP if you're looking for a gaming pc. HP and Dell aren't designed for "pure gaming" unless they've switched their styles in the last couple years. ASUS would be a nice brand that you could look into, I have an Asus (Not Gaming PC) and it works well with most games aside from large size titles like the newer COD's or Battlefield's. ASUS TUF 15.6 Gaming Laptop - Black (Intel Core i5-9300H/1TB HDD/8GB RAM/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650) is a nice Gaming laptop but is a little bit over your $600 budget coming at $749 CAN

Like Nate mentioned, I don't think this is necessary as if you're going to run an optional death game then set yourself up prior so you don't lose track of the T's. Take a group, leave the rest with other CT's or give them an order to keep them busy while you run the death game. If T's were highlighted during the death game then they are at a HUUGE disadvantage if they choose to rebel against the CT(s) or try and escape after the CT is distracted. I don't see this being implemented but who knows.

Congrats guys! Well earned.

Best I've seen so far

Fruity you spam me specifically in admin chat everytime I'm there... how you gonna put me on "who tf"...

Hey Guys, We've gotten some great feedback so far from you guys with some good ideas we could look into! Just wanna say that if you haven’t done the short survey so far then you should, I’d like to hear what you guys think about for server improvements.

I'm not a Scrim player but I think this would bring some activity to the server and help it thrive on a more consistent basis.

And now it bites me in the ass. damn..

Ya'll always host the events I wanna go to while I'm working... You plan this??

I'd be down

BloodBlades is correct. Anybody is allowed to create/reply on ban appeals but if you are not directly involved then Don’t leave a message. If you were a direct witness then message an IA+ and ask before you go ahead and post on an appeal. If they feel your information will help then submit a reply. Marking as answered.

Sorry, saw this and forgot to respond. As Kieran already mentioned, to gain forum users you are going to need to have a loyal playerbase that will first enjoy their time with our services (servers) before they go ahead and join the Forums. Nobody is going to join the Forums, Discord or Steam Groups if they have no prior association with SG. To answer the question in the title of the thread, there are many ways that we do/could advertise our servers or SG as a whole. I'm not going to be explaining our every move/plan that we do & have to get our name out there to gain new members but some obvious solutions are advertisements using social media, information based posts on sites such as Reddit/Steam and providing content for people to watch by using such sites as Twitch & YouTube. With every expansion we move into (Discords, Servers, Game Title's etc..) any way we choose to advertise with, in the end brings them to the Forums as the Forums are SG's "Central Hub". As a regular the best thing you can do is provide players with a safe, friendly, & enjoyable place on the servers. If "you" would like to go around telling your friends or posting on websites that they should check out SG, I won't stop you as "you'd" be giving us free publicity but if a conflict arises then I will shut it down. That's one of the main reasons the MKT Team exists and is the "Big Question". What can we do to bring more people into the community? How can we get new players to join our servers opposed to joining Ego, HG or Karma? (To name a few) There are many idea's that get tossed around but not everything will work. A lot of it is trial & error and that's why doing the research ahead of time is so important. We need to have a gameplan prepared so we're not walking in blind and use the information/feedback of previous outings to better our chances at being successful with future actions. Already touched on this but it's because it's the most important thing you can do. Make the servers a place that will make new players want to come back. Most of the regs on a respective server will all know each other which will make them more comfortable with how they talk/act in the servers and affect the way they play the game but consider the new player's POV. If a bunch of regulars who all know each other well start messing around on the servers in a way that may have negative impact on a new player such as RDMing for fun, micspamming or being toxic/obnoxious (even if it's directed at their friends in a joking manner), it may not be perceived the same way by another player which will turn them away and make them less likely to come back or join/use SG's other platforms. (Forums & Discord) Applying for/Joining Staff positions is another way you can take a more active role in helping us retain the new members that join our community. Our admins are the "Front Line Defense" in ensuring that the playerbase is content on the servers by keeping watch on issues that may give new players a sour taste when thinking of joining SG servers. ie. Rule Breaking, Toxicity, Mic Spamming, Cheating, Harassment etc... I'll let ya ask anymore questions you got before I go ahead and lock the thread but I will be marking it as answered.

If you would like to give feedback on our servers than please do the short questionnaire. Your feedback will help us make decisions that will improve the servers for the playerbase.

Answered by @R3Flex To put it in proper English though. If you Freekill somebody then you should slay, if the round is near over whether that be from alive players left or time then wait until next round, if it's the start of a round and you're making them sit in spec until the next round comes then slay yourself and do the same. Another option IF the T is ok with it is offering/giving them a freeday the very next round for your mistake to make it up to them. Hope this cleared it up for you. Locking the thread and marking it as Answered. @Franz

Ik your joking but I can still tell you have never "been on" weed.

We made the switch a little while back due to that a large portion of the community has a HUGE stash of credits. We used to give credits as a reward in our events for example and with the amount of credits people have, that reward is off the table because it wouldn't be a reward. "Pennies in a Gold Vault" Adding credit costs to event skins was one way we chose in attempt to lower people's credits. We are still looking for other routes to go down in order to achieve this. @Trazz

The shop prices have been chosen with reasons behind it, we are looking at the shop currently. Not tagged but I'll give a more general answer. Currently there are rank dependent/supporter tier skins that are free & available for anyone holding those ranks/tier's. The majority of skins that are available for credits are event skins that remain for a given time or basic skins for public use. (SM's could tell you how long for event skins) We're looking into possible changes that could be implemented.
