BoM

yeah sorry there were a few maps I hadn't put on full rotation yet. Wanted to make sure I had the right minecraft map. There are a lot of servers with different MC maps, had to determine I was looking at the right one.

WHEN: SATURDAY 3/21 6:00 PM EST IP: 66.150.121.119:27015 Giveaway!?!?!?: YES [to be determined] with a few days before the event, we're still deciding what sort of giveaway to have, anyone who wants to donate things on top of this contact me. Will update the thread accordingly. SOME THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO: MORE FUCKING MAPS FUCKING KNIFE SKINS MORE FUCKING PLUGINS FREE KILLING EXREV @ExRev @Unnamed Newbie @Nuclear Onion @BlackEagle @Revenga #PB #PBRevival2015 #SG

With a lot of work and changes, PB is up and ready to go! The only thing it seems to be missing is exrev. Now the thing about exrev is, he needs a lot of people to free kill and admin abuse for the server to be enjoyable for him. Now I personally won't be getting abused, but I'm sure there are plenty of SG folk who would be more than happy to take a bullet from Exrev. :O NEW MAPS SAME RULES http://www.steam-gamers.net/forum/showthread.php?t=60513 MORE MUTINY @ExRev @Unnamed Newbie @Nuclear Onion @BlackEagle @Revenga #PB #PBRevival2015 #SG

looking into it, thank you.

well obviously when the servers are down or being redone people are less inclined to be as active in SG. Most of the forum regs are in ZE because ZE is our biggest server, but that doesn't mean there aren't SG regs who are waiting to be more active when other servers get more popular. I saw it yesterday with PB, invited people who haven't played PB since ~2013 CSS PB days, and lone behold they joined the server. Edit: Fuck this whole thread, bitches don't know bout SG

Its not resurrecting, its just populating. I'd like to point out a few things. We can split our staff and focus on multiple servers without splitting populations. Most of the servers have separate populations. A majority of ZE people are randoms, which is great, but also means there are a lot of SG people left to populate other servers. Your theory only applies if we all suddenly only decide to focus on one server that isn't populated at all. Even if we did do that [which won't happen], ZE wouldn't show a steady decline, because as I said it maintains its own population of randoms. Let me explain: Yesterday we had almost all over servers populated with people at some point, not a lot, but 10+ in each server, which is progress. Prior to TTT being down a lot, it maintained a strong and steady population that did not conflict with ZE or other pops. DarkRP is at least 15+ a day after school [lots of kids], and is full every day during prime time hours. PB for only being up a few days [and still some tweaking to do] had 16 people yesterday without any events or "stealing" from ZE. That's really good if you know anything about the beginning of a server. ZE does damn well on its own, we all know that. That leaves MG, which is being worked on population wise, and won't suddenly kill all our other servers / population by being populated itself. I'm not sure were people are getting this false sense of idk our servers failing? We just transitioned to CS:GO on a lot of these servers, some more recently than others. I can tell you however, that population wise and progress wise we are on the upward swing, not down. This thread seems unneeded to me, but I guess its one way to go about things... BDs/AOs/TAs/CAs and even a lot of SAs are dedicating themselves to different servers to try and make them all better, and just like we can afford the manpower to split our team up like this, SG has a maintained population to fill these 5 servers. The only thing that has killed most of these servers is them being down/redone or crashing. All of these things are either fixed, being fixed, or being looked into. Best bet at helping SG and helping the servers? Go play in them.

I don't think thats accurate, if anything its the complete opposite. I see a lot more unity and combining of groups lately. Especially with functioning/popular servers I see a lot more interaction and connections being made. with you being around so little maybe you just haven't seen that yet...

yeah i kind of just yolo'd this year, not the biggest basketball fan....we just do it at work. Had kentucky getting beat out by notre dame, then final 4 arizona, duke, notre dame, virginia. Virginia and arizona in finals, virginia taking it. My final 4 is probably pretty accurate, give or take kentucky, but the championship picks were just to fuck with my co-workers.

Yeah I couldn't find the v4 quickly last night, just wanted to see the map. Did see that most servers are using v4, will put that on.

Already on there

This map crashed me and dirk's game last night when we tried to move around on it. Could someone else confirm/deny?

seems to be a decent version of Electric, but it just seems bland/boring. Looking at other razor options first.

Alcatraz was already a server killer as mentioned. On top of that, this map doesn't have a working soccer ball, disco music doesn't work, and the cells don't have a server button. If someone fixed those issues, and reviewed the rest of it, I'd consider putting it on.

its an oddly spread out map and only really has deathgames, just not suited for SG style PB.

This map is really nice, has a lot of cool features.....unfortunately its too big. The biggest map I've ever seen.....for any gamemode.....D: If we were like a 48 or 64 man PB map, it might survive. No until we reach that point

My thoughts, beautiful map. Added

Brings me back, holy. Oldschool fucking map Added.

Pussy ass fgt

It's silly to quit over something so small. Also factions seems to be off the board here for now from the people I've talked to.

its been down for 6 months, It was put up probably over a year ago, when we weren't even in CSGO. Now we have things like ZE and MG, more of a foothold in CSGO. Not to mention the fact that its been tossed around among the AOs over and over, not much effort had gotten put into for a number of months. Maybe you pay attention to servers that aren't flashed around or basically thrown in your face, but most people here don't. PB hasn't been mentioned much in upwards of 6 months, and its been down or in limbo for just about as long. With the server set up like ZE/MG and the right initial player base, CSGO PB can be a thing. There are a lot of people that would play PB from what I've seen, and I'm willing to put forth the effort to see that happen. This whole switching around the servers all the time is what got us in a shitty spot in the first place. I've seen all these different Gmod suggestions when our servers that we already have still need work. Stick to what we already have, let me do my job and finish a server the way I feel it should be before trying to dismantle the whole thing.

with that attitude I wouldn't consider any of your suggestions TBH. :/

They're not empty. Csgo on is being rebuilt, css on got cut off. We already have two gmod servers, they both need work.....let's stick to those for now

Yeah exactly what retro said it's actually a bunch of servers put together. You can't throw all that on one server. You have to start with one solid game mode and then build up.

This is being discussed, and I'm willing to work on an MC server with the right backing and funding. How we are going to link this to SG is up in the air, as well as how the money will be managed. Fear not, these things will be worked out, however at the moment nothing is set in stone. I can tell you: - The cost of a decent/good server would be $40-$50 dollars a month. - Good server choices would be Tekkit/FTB and/or Hunger games. Others can be discussed or mentioned, however these are the two with the most potential. - Ranks for the server would be up in the air. - With the server running under SG, I could only let CA+ work on the setting up/back end aspect. In game moderators are welcome and needed in excess. I'm really happy that this has support, and I'd really like you guys to show it full force. Find your friends, tell them that this could be happening, show SG we mean business about MC. While MC has failed before, it is a very successful game and we have had successful servers. Me and Silent ran our most recent server, and it thrived for a long while, it was both profitable and populated. I'd like to see it that way again, and I'm sorry that it did fail, but some of the factors were out of our hands. For any future endeavor into MC me and Silent would bring someone else on who either knows the server aspects already, or can be taught with relative ease. The stress and amount of effort me and Silent had to put in was draining, and it didn't help morale for us or others. There would also have to be massive support to keep this thing populated and advertising on some level. MC is a crap shoot for in game advertising, it really only gets spread from person to person chatter. I will do my best to keep our MC server page going with events to discuss this, as well as future events if the server does get up and running. Tag me with any questions or comments.

I'll write on this later, I'd already been thinking about this before.
