Sorry to necro this, but I'm just now finding out about our friend's passing. Haven't checked up on SG in awhile, really didn't expect to hear this at all. Roux was such a funny mother fucker. There was hardly ever a moment when he wasn't goofing around and making TS light up with laughter. I'm really going to miss that racoon, his world famous merch, and his fire (often controversial) Twitter feed. Rest in Peace, roux.

He did it. The mad lad did it. This dude is beyond Ash Ketchum. He has collected more ranks than anyone in this community, afaik. Now, he walks away with a purple nurple gym badge. We've already talked, but again - thank you, Erik. Keep being the Extreme Potatoes we know and love.

I just want to point out that is just no longer applicable in our community, nor was it ever the intention. Who's to say one side of the story is better than the other? If Player-1 says "I was clearly RDM'd by Player-2" and Player-2 says "idk what he's talking about" - what do we do? Do we spend the next 5-10 minutes probing these players for the facts on something that happened probably 3-4 rounds ago by that time, hindering the gameplay of the accused, the accuser(s), and the admin(s)? If 5 players agree that Player-2 is RDM'ing, and I just came online - what do I do? Do I just take their word? What if they just don't like the player? You keep pointing out that it's basically only admins that agree on this, but isn't that proof that it's a justified rule? Do you really think we are all so corrupted, and we just want to make non-admins suffer? That there's some sort of conspiracy and that we like seeing people get away with breaking our rules?

Your frustration is understood by all of us, trust us on that. We've ALL been regular powerless players, so please do not claim that we don't understand. The protocol we follow is justifiable and pretty much set-in-stone. As said before, it is an "innocent until proven guilty" stance. Allow me to expand on this: Someone is accused of hacking. Do we ban them outright, or do we take note and spectate them when available? Someone is accused of freekilling on Jailbreak. Do we slay/kick/ban them outright, or do we take note and spectate them when available? Someone is accused of RDM on TTT. Do we slay/kick/ban them outright, or do we take note and spectate them when available? You are accused of hacking. Do you deserve to be banned outright, or should evidence be brought forward on that claim? You are accused of freekilling. Do you deserve to be banned outright, or should evidence be brought forward on that claim? You are accused of RDM. Do you deserve to be banned outright, or should evidence be brought forward on that claim? The logs we have provide no context. Each admin only has 2 eyes (typically), and can only spectate one person at a time, per admin. As said before, we are not investigators. There are no crimes to forensically tear apart. We are basically cops on the beat, waiting for shots to be fired - and if the perpetrator gets away, we don't establish a crime scene with yellow tape and white chalk. That's not our job. If you have some form of evidence via a player complaint, our CA+ staff can investigate after the smoke clears - and deal justice when necessary.

About 15 years ago, I found my name through a band-name generator. https://www.indiesound.com/band-name-generator/ Good luck

I believe there was an initial bug that caused weird significant jumps in CT time played. We didn't reset the playtime after it seemed to be fixed. Tim just grand-fathered the bug, and I don't have permission to change his database value. Can you try to compare somebody else's playtime that is new?

You definitely look like you want to help keep the servers clean, but you must also learn to take negative banter/insults with a grain of salt. Remember how people were targeting me just because I was an admin and tried to enforce TTT rules late at night? Well, that'll happen very often, and you should be prepared to laugh it off when it's not really that serious, but also identify when it's legitimate harassment. If someone calls you a name that you don't like, just be like, "Hey man, could you not call me that? Thanks." If they continue, start recording (or screenshot if it was in chat) and report them - or call an admin so they can prevent any further harassment. Don't just seek punishment immediately. Defuse the situation before it gets serious. You make more friends than enemies that way. It's all about reading the room. Those guys that night on TTT may have seemed malicious towards me, but it was late at night, the server was pretty empty, and they were just poking fun - no harm no foul. There was no need to punish them just because they were saying stupid things like "Kill the admin!" without acting on it. Sometimes fun is more important than punishment, even if it's at your own displeasure (it is just a video game, after-all). If the displeasure is overwhelming, then a simple warning will usually suffice. If that doesn't work, then punishment (slay/kick/ban protocol) will solve the problem. Conversely, fun can be less important when any player feels negatively affected by the perceived "fun," and then order must be restored. Every admin is different, and every infraction is at the discretion of the admin. We cannot compel admins to punish players, they must do it on their own will. By all means, you can be someone who puts up with nothing, or you can be laid-back and provide ample warnings before pulling the ban trigger on someone. This is within reason, of course; some infractions do require immediate attention, and are not something to be laid-back about (i.e. hacking, repeated harassment, etc). These are just some things to consider before someone becomes an admin. It's not always peaches and cream, but if you're up to the task, show the community that you are a good candidate within the next few weeks. Other than those few tips and observations - you're a cool dude with glowing passion for SG, and I look forward to seeing you around. Good luck, buddy. P.S. There's a little "Thanks" button in the bottom-right corner of every person's post. Instead of replying with a post to say "Thank you," you can just hit that button.

Pat, you've got the heart, just stick around until you meet the requirements. While you wait, observe other admins and learn from them. Take some time to establish a name in the community. Let people figure out who patriddlerr is. Don't rush the process, let the process flow naturally. Once you've established a good name, people will flock to support you.

This is a must-have game if you're going to play VR.

While in game, type out: !ctrank OR !r = display your current rank and amount of time played as a CT !cttop = display top 50 CT players !ranks = display rank names and time required as a CT to earn the rank !ranks is what you're looking for.

I just walked to 7/11 and picked up Hint of Lime Tostitos ™ with matching brand mild salsa, also my car won't start anymore

Rejected. Nobody said sike. Congrats to everybody, and welcome back to the team @R3TROATTACK!

The CT rank requirements will now be displayed in a menu by typing !ranks. Additionally, the leaderboard is now a menu as well, and displays the top 50 players. Please standby while it is tested, and hopefully it should be deployed by tomorrow.

Get iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, congrats ya narly harley charles barkley

Dude hit a fly ass shot, fuck the haters People pulling you down are below you, never forget. Bless up, look out for the cops

Horde / Herod / Warlock / Undecided Alli / Benediction / Warlock / Undecided Only got to level 7 because I was on a different server just so I can at least play. Got to level 7 on another server tho. Trying to level up on Herod only now because a co-worker of mine is also on it, but he's like level 32 lmao. I'm definitely enjoying my experience as it digs deep into my childhood experience. They just opened up free realm transfers for high-pop servers, so I'm praying these gamers hop off my server because they can't deal with queues. Hmu @ Fajita#1952

Daaaaamn bro, that's a nightmare. Get you a Taco Bell Quesarito™ to lift those spirits. F

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooo massive congrats all around boyos!

Congrats players

Gave me a good chuckle for most hilarious

give or take... tree fiddy fo fiddy if it's his birthday

I honestly can't immediately find a reason why this is happening. It's so random as well. The timer will work perfectly fine for several maps, and then suddenly you will see a jump. It's just not making sense at first glance. I will keep looking into it, but for now - just enjoy the game, cuz I imagine we will reset. Did people at least rank up to Sergeant after hitting 720+ minutes?

Thank you for your feedback. I will take a look into this, and hopefully get an answer soon. Please note that it's a very new plugin, so please bear with the bugs, and don't overexert yourself to rank up while the plugin goes through its foundation trials lol. I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but it is possible that we may reset everyone's playtime if we find bugs that give players an advantage or disadvantage in ranking up (I am not sure if that is my decision though, maybe a JB rep can comment on this). Sincerest apologies if you've already dumped countless hours. Testing a "playtime"-based plugin is difficult, because I obviously cannot standby and play as a CT for 12+ hours. Everyone is essentially a guinea pig for real-time testing, and your feedback will help us hone the plugin into a working rank system . EDIT: After talking a bit with tweedle, it sounds like the playtime calculation is working just fine, and it's a just a leaderboard issue. It does not sound like a reset will be necessary at this moment. EDIT 2: After playing CT for a bit, my playtime somehow jumped from ~15 mins to ~150 mins. Definitely might need to reset. I will need to investigate what's going on. The playtime seems to work up until maps are changed, but it's hard to tell if that's part of the reason.

Das my sad, congrats bud
