So, over the last year or so I've been growing steadily bitter, which quite a few people have already pointed out to me. I've been starting to show my face a lot more on the servers and such after a few months of almost never playing. I've had a few conversations with people I was friends with for a while and was disappointed, to say the least when they called me things such as "a bloodsucking demon," or "an absolute dick." I can't disagree with these statements since my behavior both on and off the xG servers has essentially deteriorated from what it was back in 2016 when I started playing, but no one wants to be remembered by their friends as some savage. Recently, I've been trying to clean up my act, but it's still kind of hard since a lot of people still look upon with obvious disdain. I'll use this thread as a general apology to the entire community while also apologizing to specific individuals. So, to the entire community, I'm sorry. Over the last year and a half or so, I've constantly been poopposting, most recently the "I'm so sorry" joke that kind of led me to leave the xG discord for about a month or so (wasn't really keeping count). I've caused quite a bit of trouble for @virr with my poop posting, so for that, I'm incredibly sorry. @BonfireCentiped I know I had already apologized for going off on you especially hard in discord, but I thought I would apologize again. At the time I was incredibly stressed out for personal reasons and vented my frustrations out on you. So I don't really know anyone else who I should apologize to specifically. So, if you feel like you actually deserve an apology or there is something you need to talk to me about, you can message me on discord, since I'd rather not have people add me on steam.

If you're like me and use reactions a lot, you have probably noticed how annoying it is. First of all, choosing a reaction feels like a crappy coolmathgames maze where you have to move your mouse carefully without touching the edge, because if you mouse goes slightly off the thin reactions bar, you're screwed and have to do it all again. The second problem is when I click somebody's profile to react to their status, the bar/tab goes off the screen, which means I have to 'CTRL -' and then it also makes the maze even harder as not only is the reactions tab thinner compared to your mouse, but also smaller, and no that doesn't make choosing a reaction at the end any easier because of the "short" distance. It would be better if the reactions bar was click-based rather than hover based (click to open the bar, then click on the reaction you wish to use), and also if the current 32 reactions were in a 4x8 bar instead of the current 1x32. MAKE xG GREAT AGAIN!

Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/tf/download/maps Or right click on Team Fortress 2 in steam and go to Properties > Local Files > Browse Local Files then follow the path from 'tf'

@Tatost gave a good guide on how to fix this, but there's an alternate method of locating your download folder and then going to the maps inside that. The default full path should be: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2\tf\download\maps Find the map in the folder and then delete it. The next time you join it should download it properly. (expanding on what @virr said)

thank god you only play on surf server makes it easier for everyone else to not encounter you.

Have you ever looked through this thread ever? I don't know why you are complaining about it even though there been a lot of meme/joke photos posted here. Even myself including posting a funny photo I got off google. what i'm trying to say is... this thread shouldn't be taken seriously

Er, not sure some of those things are things you want to be public about on a gaming clan filled with people that are less than eighteen years of age.

If you want to take choosing staff to the next level, you should start playing a lot more on the servers the applicant plays on. In this case, Surf, as that is the only server I've ever seen Tuna play on. While I respect your opinion, I just feel like you make your mind too quickly. I feel as though you should spend a bit more time forming an opinion, especially as a higher up. Our vouches are only meant to sway the higher-ups into coming to our side because in the end you guys just make the decisions instead of it being a majority vote like a member application. I'm not saying you haven't seen Tuna since he came back, but I am saying that you should make it your job to gather a bit more information than you did when you were an admin, mod, member, or even non-member. If you've already been playing surf with Tuna, then I guess this post means jack poop, but I guess I'm going to post it just in case. As the final decision rests in your hands, you need to be the most educated on the topic. EDIT: Just going to say that Kypari and I have already talked about my post from earlier. I'm just going to say now that my post was not meant to start a poop storm, so please refrain from turning the thread into something of the sort.

This is itself an opinion, whether you choose to agree with it or not. Frankly I do not at all. Maturity is not some base standard that you have and only lack if you do something to lose it. It's a construction of your behavior, and as such can only exist in a positive light if constructed positively first. You do not describe someone as being mature until they've done something that makes you believe they in fact are. Just as much as you or anyone who shares the same opinion on tuna as you are not going to be moved by such simplicity as "-1 immature", someone who holds an opposite opinion isn't by "+1 friendly", and someone who doesn't know or have an opinion to hold of him isn't likely going to be moved significantly in either direction by both statements. You're very correct that staff privileges shouldn't be held lightly and denied on a debately mediocre statement alone, but they shouldn't be given based on such a statement either. This is why vouches despite being a way for people to express their opinion on someone are more used to show how this person reflects on others in their actions but don't individually tip scales from simple pluses and minuses the same way it did in membership apps. A positive vouch from a friend isn't always going to have as much weight to it as say one from someone who may have disliked tuna in the past but believes they have improved vastly. A negative vouch from someone who has disliked tuna isn't going to have as much weight as someone who has not known them for long but had nothing but unpleasant experience with them. Regardless of how right or wrong on some opinionated scale someone may be in their vouch, they are still entitled to express it and just as valid as the next person who doesn't back up what is ultimately just their opinion. As to my thoughts on those specific examples of "controversy" you mentioned, you said yourself he did not start anything in skelly's thread and even though he may have been the catalyst for the conflict there, he did not create it himself (like kypari said he stepped back after both he and skelly had been warned over their issue far before). With krampus's thread, regardless of intent it was handled very poorly by everyone involved in it's conception including Tuna and certainly hasn't left the best impression because of that. Neither of these though would by why i'd be either for or against tuna getting staff. Whether someone is fit or not isn't determined by something as singular as being friendly, helpful, or having good intent, because someone could be all of these and still do an incredibly poor job at staff for alternative reasons. This is why quite often the best way to determine how someone would do is their behavior on the server over time. My experience with tuna as to that, as I said before, was entirely negative with him quite often being disdainful or even snobbish when someone breaks rules and when confronted about it would play it off as if it were a joke, effectively ignoring any criticism and at no point showing an attempt to improve on it. If he did so in private or not does not change how he handled it publicly and how that reflected his personality. I also stated that I've seen a lot of pleasantry in his behavior on discord over time and would love to see that reflect on the servers, but like I said just because someone is pleasant does not mean that they would do a good job at staff by any means. I would not vouch for someone positively myself unless I was sure that they would handle it well, and there is nothing I have experienced from tuna first hand or otherwise that shows me this would be the case.

Correct.

I'm assuming this is the Mac path?

still waiting for anyone who can provide evidence for anything he's actually done wrong I know full well that people in private discords talk some serious poop about people for no reason. As I'm no longer in any private discord other than my own (which is just Overwatch players, some of which haven't even played TF2), I can't really do poop for evidence. I'm sure in quite a few of everyone's private discords you just have to put "Tuna" in the search bar and you'll find some poop. The only poop he's started that I can even remember would be in Skelly's goodbye thread (I was the person who pretty much went off on Skelly, not Tuna) and the Krampus abuse thread, which was him actually thinking that Krampus had a bias against him. I've actually had a conversation with someone about Tuna recently and asked for any sort of evidence and all they could provide me was "look at the [xG] discord." Nothing really there other than some of the run-of-the-mill tomfoolery. I then asked them again for examples, they were sleeping since it was really early in the morning and said: "I'll talk to you when I wake up." Our two messages were an hour apart. I never got another conversation from them. Going to keep the name private unless they want to claim it was them here, just out of respect. TL;DR - Waiting for anyone to provide evidence for what Tuna has done wrong, recently if possible, I think you should overlook stuff that happened before the end of last year since I've had multiple people say he's immature or he causes controversy. He hasn't started anything since Krampus's thread if you would exclude Skelly's thread since that was me who started the poop.

+1 Say what you will about tuna, he is a good staff member. Well better than most of the mods we have now.

You can also download the map off of gamebanana or something and put it in your maps folder. Should be in your steam folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Team Fortress 2 (this is just my path, you may have placed your steam folder somewhere else) If you can't find this, right click TF2 in your library, go to properties, then local files, browse local files, open the folder named "tf," then open maps.

not sure if its different on mac compared to windows but you can usually solve it by deleting the map in your maps folder and then download it again

Division Team Fortress 2 In-Game Name xg | Deko Offender's Identity STEAM_0:1:197939153 Ban Type Server Ban Explanation and Evidence As of lately whenever I see Chiefkat on the TF2 Surf server he is always causing some sort of issue. He was asked multiple times today by several members to stop continuous mic spam, some of which I managed to capture here: Total Three Minutes I Managed To Record Here I'd like to point out what I can only assume is him licking his mic: https://youtu.be/qCJhs5OkW1g?t=39 Chiefkat has a history of trolling on the server so I feel a day ban should be appropriate considering how much he has been warned. Using both @IDurAsian and @Donakonda for evidence.

Let's try not to derail this thread. Be respectful too please.

I know you're not around often to see it so I will explain that surf is where I spend probably almost half my time on the servers, and lately I have spent a significant amount of time going to ones I otherwise wouldn't at the time specifically to keep an eye on certain individuals over these last several weeks for this purpose. It's regrettable that we are not on at the same time or if it's that I don't notice when he is on (really, I haven't seen him on any server once whenever i'm on despite his hours), but I think you're viewing this all as something it is not by claiming i'm being too hasty in my decision. This is not some cut and dry ordeal where I am straight up denying him staff. I've already stated i'm hopeful to see more out of him so that he could possibly show that he is capable, but also that I can't change my mind without either seeing this or it being shown to me. That's why this whole process is open like it is, to give time for him to show improvement or whatever need be and for people to show if that exists or not on applications for it. A major point in what I said earlier can be summed up in this- There was nothing in the statements against tuna that made you think he didn't deserve staff, but there's nothing in the statements for tuna that have made me think he does. I know you aren't trying to start poop (s h i t, I'm tired of seeing "poop") and just are defending your friend, and I respect what you're trying to do because of that. It's because of that respect though that I haven't pried at you to explain your defense for him, I definitely believe you think he would make a good staff member, but I hold that same regard for everyone else too which is why I've been defending against calling people out to explain. If people want to, it will help this discussion in either respect which is why I have both times explained my point of view, but no one is required to either.

Spray rule has been very slightly re-worded: Sprays, avatars and items that are able to be customized cannot contain the following: genitalia/explicit nudity whatsoever, racism, hate symbols, gore, derogatory content and images of sexualized minors (this includes drawn images) There is also a section in the staff manual that will specify points of sprays that are controversial.

??????????????????????????????

wishing it was 2016 again

no worries, the fidget spinner will do it for me

They don't need to record, they could literally just take a picture of some messages in discord, or give an example of poop he's started. I know that people don't always record stuff, I gave you plenty of examples on how they could provide evidence that shouldn't be that hard to find if he's done all these things. Someone's word on a subject like this shouldn't be all they need, especially if they're just going to say "he is immature and caused controversy." Staff privileges shouldn't be held lightly, so don't you think that you should at least prove your argument on why he shouldn't be staff? I may not be highly educated on this, but I just have the slightest feeling that people bandwagoning since one person in their friend group doesn't like Tuna. I know full well what goes on in private discords, and it constantly leads to people ganging up on the person one person doesn't like. This all originates from one person saying in their private discord "grr I hate player X," so everyone in that discord decides they hate them as well. I only suspect it's just bandwagoning because Kypari, Elcark, Grape, Segal, and Manlyduck are all in the exact same discord. This is a discord I've been in, and I've seen people talk poop.

I know youre just messing around but this isn't a meme thread my dude, I'mma ask you don't keep posting Google images of awk selfies
