  1. We can definitely host other community streamers on our stream during it's downtime, not opposed to this idea at all. I also have a plan to implement a way to showcase other streamers on the website further incentivizing working with us, something that is obviously important to grow our stream presence. Unfortunately big forum changes like that are realistically 4 to 6 months out based on our current situation(s), so yeah that's just the truth of it. The problem comes with providing incentive, which we really lack good options that would actually gain any traction with your random growing streamer. As I mentioned above the website could be a prime incentive, but even then I'm not sure that'd be enough to pull someone who isn't already in the community. Obviously pulling someone from the community would be easier however that also limits our options. If you're thinking sponsor them in terms of monetary compensation...that's honestly not financially feasible, at least with our current cash flow. The actual reality is that we are well aware of this and many things are being worked on in the background as well as publicly if you take a look around. Your out of context 10 AM quick glance at the numbers makes me want to slap you around, but I'll refrain. The fact is our server pop is growing to a point its pretty easy to project our current ~80-130 average player count during prime time hours should turn into something like 300+ if our SMs keep on with the plans they have currently. While it's great to have this big grand image of SG turning into a brand and spreading its wings....it is in fact a very slow process (I should know I've been pushing it for years). You can't look at a big change like that as something that is unilateral and will show as notably visible change any time soon. In order to grow in that direction you have to have a big source of players to fill up this community you've created because any time you want to grow a brand the moving force is the numbers...so in this case our players/gamers/general population. Currently our main (and really only) pipeline for player growth is our severs, and while there are other things being built and polished for potential future growth, sensibly pushing and squeezing our servers for all they're worth is still the move. I foresee us heavily invested in server based gaming for another 3+ years as the gaming community continues to grow away from them, and that's assuming new games don't put out servers which would further fuel our growth in that direction.
  2. BRO THE LAST MINUTE EDIT
  3. Hello folks, I have received a letter from fantastic confirming our newest promotions. Please take a moment to appreciate fantastic's final input here. Our first promotion is a returning staff member and last minute buy in from @Kopsta, this man has been away at anger management camp for the last 11 months but now he's BACK. This man needs no introduction as his reputation speaks for him, our newest Events Team member is none other than Phoenix. Organize, plan, and run events Manage/Promote special events on our servers Manage and monitor gaming tournaments Make sure servers are ready for all special events Schedule events to fill servers in need via the steam community Work with the Administrative Team to create events that cater to community interests Following that we have Zero Two join the Marketing Team....and yeah I don't really know anything about him but @Mace swears he's a cool dude. We also have Hawks joining the team, he is a cool and dedicated milk drinker who's been putting in a lot of work around here lately trying to collect all the ranks. Their responsibilities will include: Manage all third party sites/applications. Manage all advertising, sponsorships, and affiliations. Recommend upgrades and general marketing aspects for the community. Research what the community likes / doesn't like. Upkeep the image of SG and help expand. Work with the Media Team to manage branding and community design. Work with Media team to manage social media accounts (Youtube, Twitch, etc). Next we have gwen from rust joining us as Server Manager as well as natalie<3 moving up (you can't have anymore ranks dude). The former of these folks is a great guy who has been putting in good work on the multiple teams even though he sucks at rust, while the latter is a hard working guy/gal who is going to help Silentguns slave over squad all hours of the day. Their responsibilities include: Verify that servers are operational Reboot dead/lagged servers Assist in training new admins Search for new maps for all servers Upload maps to the servers and fast downloads site Edit map lists & rotations This next promotion is one that people have been talking about for a while and begging us to do, which of course had zero influence on us. We are finally promoting a new Modding Manager and we have decided that it will be Scrolls. This guy is a massive pain in the ass and refuses to use a mic, but he slid John $1000 so here we are. In all reality, 20 mph turned 20 scrolls turned scrolls has slowly but surely managed to become a respectable member of the community and a rock for the modding team as a whole, rightfully earning this position. His responsibilities will include: Managing the team. Finally, we are promoting our newest Director. He is a smart hard working guy who has been putting in insane amounts of effort here over the last 12+ months. Somehow this once dumb little shrimp has managed to grow up and take the reigns on all sorts of projects and work around here, ultimately producing amazing results time and time again. Please join me in welcoming Trazz as our newest board member.

    it'd be cool if you could actually post your opinion on it or at least remotely explain your "hot take" instead of just posting random out of context shit that seems like it's directly pulled from a quick google search without even a basic understanding of what you're actually posting.

    THE IRONY
  23. The original director (Zack Snyder) had a family tragedy in the middle of production and ended up dropping everything, including his finishing of the movie. Supposedly the final movie that came out was nothing like his vision and the people who stepped into to finish it botched the whole thing. This is supposed to be, to the best of his ability, a more proper iteration of what the movie should have been.
  24. If a BD is playing in a server they are there as an agent of chaos.
