Hello fellow xG Members, tis I, Forest! Here to spread the good word on how to subdue rule breakers and other hooligans whose existence revolves around stirring up anarchy and chaos within our Servers. As many are well aware (or at the very least should be aware) Staff Members can't always be on every Server at any given moment. This results in moments of rampancy where rule breakers are running amok, freekilling poor defenseless reds/terrorists, giving multiple Free Days round after round, and the mic spamming.. Oh Lord the mic spamming! I'm here to tell you that things don't have to be this way. You can aid xG in its attempts to subdue these criminals. That's right, you too can help us without the use of fancy powers like slaying, muting or banning! How, you say? Well, allow me to enlighten you in several ways you can personally take down these rulebreakers. For the sake of organization (and ease), I'll break it down into steps for you to take. Now, before we begin dispensing Justice, there are a few things we'll need. First and foremost, we'll need to capture someone in the act of rule breaking. Now, there are various ways in which you can choose to capture evidence against a rule breaker. You can choose to capture it through video recording, voice recording, and by providing text proof (typically in the form of screenshots). I'll begin with text based evidence as it can be obtained without having to be ingame (depending on the rules being broken). 1. Text Based Evidence There are a few ways in which you can obtain evidence toward rule breakers by way of text. This is typically reserved for people who are harassing or otherwise disrespecting players in any way. Keep in mind that you cannot copy and paste text for use as evidence as this is not a valid means of proof! There are a few ways in which you can obtain text evidence that will retain its integrity and validity. 1A. Chat Logs You can pull logs from a Server by going through the following steps: 1.1 Note the time in which the rule breaking occurred 1.2 Head to rank.xenogamers.com 1.3 Click on the Server in which you wish to gather the chat logs 1.4 Click on the Chat tab marked under the Sections 1.5 Find the appropriate time in which the rule breaking occurred and screenshot the offending text (*Note: The chat logs are constantly updated so for ease it is best to screenshot the information rather than link the chat page) 1.6 Make your way to wherever you saved your screenshot and then simply attach the screenshot(s) you took to your post 1B. Chat Logs *Optional: You can also choose to link the offending player's chat history by doing the following: 2.1 Take down the player's Steam ID 2.2 Follow steps 1.1 through 1.3 from above 2.3 Click on the Players tab marked under the Sections 2.4 Input the Steam ID into the Search bar and proceed to click Search Player 2.5 Click on the Player's name 2.6 Click on Chat located below their Statistics Summary (*Note: Because this chat log isn't updated at the same rate as a Server based one, you may choose to link this page instead) 2.7 Make your way to wherever you saved your screenshot and then simply attach the screenshot(s) you took to your post -or- copy and paste the link to the player's chat log page. Be sure to include at what time the incident occurred for convenience! 1C. Chat Logs Another alternative that doesn't require nearly as much effort as the above two is to simply screenshot while ingame. This particular strategy is welcomed, however it is a lot more clunky and disorganized to read due to the feed generating a lot of unrelated content. The only requirement for this is to be ingame and have Console (~) enabled. For the sake of clarity (and consistency) simply do the following: 3.1 While ingame, open Console (~) and scroll through the feed until you see the desired text. 3.2 Highlight the offending text (allows viewers to easily distinguish between related and unrelated text) and then proceed to screenshot it 3.3 Make your way to your game's folder and then simply attach the screenshot(s) you took to your post 2. Recording Based Evidence As with text based evidence, there are a couple ways in which you can obtain evidence toward rule breakers through recording. This form of evidence is typically used against rule breakers who are freekilling, actively harassing or mic spamming as well as other forms of rule breaking that are difficult to capture through screenshot or text. 2A. Demos Demos are a form of recording that are included in the Source Engine to record ingame without the stress of running 3rd party recording software. This allows users who would otherwise be unable to record by using a program such as Fraps to record easily. 4.1 Ensure that you have Console (~) enabled. This option will typically be located under the Advanced section in the Keyboard tab in your Options menu of whatever game you're on. 4.2 While ingame, open Console (~) and type in the following (where demotest is the name you would like to label the file as): record demotest 4.3 You should now be recording all gameplay in the current game you are running (IE. If you are running TF2, then you are now recording a demo for that session. It will not record any other instances of games running at the same time) 4.4 Once you have the desired amount of footage, open Console (~) and type in the following: stop 4.5 Your demo will have stopped recording and will be saved as demotest.dem in your game folder (For instance: \Steam\SteamApps\common\team fortress 2\tf\) along with all its associated files. At this point, it's as easy as locating the file and attaching it to a post. Congratulations! You now have the necessary knowledge and tools to aid xG in taking down rule breakers. You no longer have to worry about a rule breaker getting away before a Staff Member can get on! Keep in mind that this is by no means a substitute for Staff Members; they are always needed and should be called on immediately should anything go wrong on the Servers. This is merely a.. Back up plan, that'll allow you to help out in your own way. The best of luck to you all, go get em'!

Day ban? Don't think so. I'm upping this to a week. Check SourceBans. he has been banned FOUR TIMES over the past five days for this very same reason. If he doesn't get it after a week, then it's being extended to a perm. Second chances are fine. Fifth chances and things obviously aren't working. Xeno Gamers Thread closed.

I was first planning to just be slightly active and stuff but nah, this is just not really what I want at all. I've had some good times both on the servers and on teamspeak, made a lotta friends, and fixed my reputation in xG as a whole and got myself in the staff team. But I'm actually really bored of the clan right now (mostly the division) so im just gonna leave with beel, the only person that has been keeping me here for the past few weeks. I probably won't be back, and the only server you can see me on is surf and maybe, JUST MAYBE on JB. I'm not sure about Beel but I think she said she won't be back/playing on the servers at all either. Also the moderation stuff wasn't really my thing at all, it's basically a job you don't get paid for after you get bored of it, although I did have fun for a while and I wish good luck to all my friends in the staff team (u kno who you are) @Marceline said she didn't wanna post anything or say anything except for "bye" but yeah if you need conformation of her leaving with me you can just ask her for it, if you really have to or smthn i dunno. Oh and here's the 13:36 minutes long video of me saying bye @Tekage ;^) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO3OTlBqfWM And no I'm not gonna tag everybody and be like "I mis u alredi ;_;,-:cry:_-,,,-;" because people I like will still be my friends and will remain on my steam friends list (probably same with beel) oh i almost forgot, fuсk you @Whyte :coffee: so yeah bye, hopefully i won't be banned till 2020 on the forums and perm'd from the servers this time amirite?? @Chrono @kbraszzz ;););;;)))););););)

I kind of said to my wife "Hey, you remember Lucy?" And she was all like "Hell, yeah!" and I was like "Well damn, get in here and vouch for her! She wants membership!" You're welcome. :D In 24 hours, assuming nobody -1s you, we can close the thread and FINALLY welcome you as a member! <3

IM ALREADY DOING THIS HELLO

are you fucking serious

We need @BeardedTaco as the new leader.

I think now it is time to say goodbye. I know I have said goodbye before then came back a week later but this time I think this will be permanently. I have had my good times in this clan and some bad times. I have been really nice to some and an ass to others. I feel as if now I just want to start the next chapter of my life and I want to leave you guys on a good note. This clan really made me feel at home, thanks for the awesome moments. I am not going to go through the long goodbye list BS. I want to say before I go that Liekos is the leader of my channel, i might hop on once in a blue moon so I want to keep it. I am also not going to remove you all on steam, but since I won't be on steam for who knows how long I would not be mad if you removed me. Wish you all the best ~Dethman

I got into an angsty argument with my parents and they decided to take my computer away until the Saturday after this week. I'll still be on the forums on my mobile devices. Sometimes they give it back before then but the latest I'll be on is Halloween. @Hachi can probably can relate to my situation Rip, I'm probably going to miss the new update.

RIP Waim I know the same shit man

They should bring back The OoT Hyrule map. It has multiple spawn exits so at least the teams won't get COMPLETELY spawn camped. Also, there is a map of Aquatic Ruins from Sanic and Dark Tower from paper mario?
