I want to keep this short so I don't take up too much of your time but I don't think that'll be the outcome. Unfortunately, school has once again started back up. This, of course, means that I will no longer to play TF2 nearly as often as I would like because school comes first for me. I have a large amount of constant-commitment classes that I can sadly never take a break from. I also play two sports outside of school which makes time management even more difficult. So even if I thought I had time for video games, that just isn't the case. I might hop on a couple times during the weekends for short spurts of time but I anticipate it won't be more than a couple of hours. And because of that, my in-game activity will drop immensely. I wanna thank everyone that welcomed me with open hands and warm hearts when I first joined Xeno Gamers around 5 months ago. You guys were the reason I looked forward to hopping onto the servers each day. Specifically though, I wanna give some shout outs to the people that really made me fall in love with XG. @SegFault Man. Seggie. Where do I start? You were the first person to really talk to me and invite into this community. Before I met you I used to be a shy, quiet dude in chat but with you around me and motivating me to do better each day I improved drastically at using my microphone in-game. You were the real reason I wanted to become a staff member. I looked and still continue to look up to you each and every day thinking how I can better improve myself to be more like you. Hopefully one day we can meet for real and actually hang out instead of just me beating you to the end of jump maps ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). I guess we'll see in the future. Don't ever change Seg. @Owlknight_ OwlQueen. OwlKing. OwlPrince. I can't appreciate you enough. You're always a real joy to be around. Not only that, but you were always there when I needed you. Thanks for always being the best birb. ? @Arnude I know I never mentioned it but you were always awesome company. You're so chill and easygoing it's so effortless to have a good time when you're around. And there are two people who's forums names I don't know so if you could direct them to this post that'd be great. Cookie<3. Ugh you're so cool it's like you're so much fun to talk to about unusuals were gonna waste our money on and stuff just like never stop being you thanks. Krampus. You're just awesome. Not much else to say other than you're an awesome person and a load of fun to be around. Anyways, that's that. Now to the part I've been contemplating writing. As some of you may know, I applied for mod. I'm sad to say that I would like the higherups to close my application due to the fact that if I am accepted, there is no way I'd be able to keep up my biweekly hours up. But besides that, I want to thank the TF2 higherups for considering me as a mod. It was a goal I set ever since I joined the community and to know that the people in charge maybe wanted me on their team is a feeling like no other. I am forever grateful for that feeling. And because my hours will drop so drastically, I would also like the higherups to remove my membership from XG as I will not be an accurate representation of what it means to be a member. A member should be first and foremost active and I just won't have that quality. As a member I want new players to recognize me their first few times joining the servers. If I am not active, I cannot be the best role model I can be towards new players on the servers. And once again, I just wanna thank you to everyone that helped my five months here a load of fun and memories. (Sorry if this was all over the place I'm not good at this sentimental stuff.)

Back in the old days of tgh we had a thing called ponyspensers which were dispensers with ponies on them and they also play 8bit music There was also a command to turn it off which people could use to just easily turn it off forever now I know tons of people don't like mlp but I don't see anything wrong with adding this back for the people who do like them

Simple question, Ass or tits?

ur stinky @MJP, straight white boi 4 lyfe.

Fuck that hell no

Been glad to be such a good influence around you Tree. Shame to see that you'll start to be inactive, but you got my steam. Hit me up whenever!

Lately, me and the other TF2 higherups have noticed an uproar in people who are not satisfied with the current state of the TF2 division of our community in terms of how we present ourselves and some of the rules that they feel are far too strict. We have discussed many topics and talked with a lot of staff over the past few days for the betterment of not only their staff ability, but for the community and to feel welcomed and respected as they should be in hopes that they will continue to support and play on our servers. I would like to do a Staff PSA in this post in hopes that everyone will see that we want to make a change to make everyone as satisfied as possible. Of course, there are times where you may not necessarily agree with the rules or such and you may not be superbly happy about the division, but we have to try to make everyone as happy as they can be to a realistic and fair degree. Many staff members have been talked to individually about one or more of these topics already, but I would like to make it publicly known so that our current staff can find a way to improve to the upmost degree if they feel like they should be working on one of the things mentioned. Even if you feel you don't need to work on anything, please read this and try to improve on them to the upmost degree regardless in hopes that you can be as good of a staff member and role-model for the community as possible. Learning is a great way to climb positions! Staff members should not try to interpret rules wildly from their original intent. Recently, some people have felt as if they have been wrongly punished because staff members are being far too broad with the rules and end up punishing people for reasons that stray too far from the actual !motd. I would like to remind staff that it is completely OK to ask questions and talk to a staff member in a higher position (whether that be admin or one of the higherups) whether something is disallowed or not in hopes that this will happen less, and that I would also like to see staff try to enforce rules directly towards what they are related to. Staff members should try to recognize the situation appropriately and take everything in context. We have felt as if staff sometimes may not appropriately address the situation because they aren't reading the context whatsoever and jump to conclusions regarding rules such as disrespect but towards their friends and other such examples. I would like to remind staff that it is OK if someone says that it's a joke and you go back on your warning or mute/gag and to understand the situation appropriately before handing out a punishment. Staff members should be a role-model to other people and act maturely, specifically when handing out punishments. Just a reminder that staff should recognize that they are a role-model towards the server and many people will look up to you if they care about the community and the servers. We would like to see staff act more maturely overall and specifically when handing out punishments. This is not to say that you can't have fun and be yourself at all, but try to act more responsible and like a role-model to ensure that everyone gets a good impression of the server and so that new members and such will take into account your responsibility and maturity! If someone disagrees about their punishment, allow them to calmly tell you why they disagree, and supportively direct them to the forums. I cannot stress enough how important it is that you do not shut someone down and tell them "go make a ban protest lol" if they get in trouble on the servers and they disagree with their punishment. If someone disagrees, talk calmly and respectfully about why they were punished and if things escalate on the servers or if they still disagree, supportively and respectively direct them to the forums and inform them that they should make a ban protest if they feel it is necessary or contact one of the higherups to discuss their punishment. Do not shut people down disrespectfully as it often ensures that they won't come back to the server. Of course, if people continuously argue about the issue, then warn and gag/mute as normal or whatever punishment is appropriate, but always assist them first. No talking over other people is not only for staff but for other players + regarding when to enforce the rule. The idea of this rule is so that we don't create extreme chaos with people speaking over each other constantly and so that people don't randomly interrupt people consistently. The rule does not only apply to staff, but also to people on the server. It also does not mean to silence every person who speaks at the same time as you because you are staff. To enforce this rule correctly, pay attention to when they started speaking and if they interrupted someone blatantly rather than if two people accidentally speak around the same time and both don't stop speaking (to a fair and realistic degree). If someone's mic isn't very good or isn't working, inform them of what isn't working and give advice instead of saying "fix your mic". Staff should always try to help people if someone on the server's mic has a lot of background noise and assist them in how to fix it rather than just simply stating "fix your mic". For example, if you can hear their in-game audio, tell them to plug in some headphones to prevent the in-game audio from coming through their mic. If they do not comply, then follow the extended mute system up to a day (warn -> mute -> day mute -> hour ban etc). Staff should always remain unbiased as possible. In order to prevent unfair punishments and arguments, try to remain as unbiased as possible and put yourself in someone else's shoes before handing out a punishment just in case you feel that you may be being rash. It is impossible to be entirely unbiased and there's no way to prevent that, but try to be as unbiased as possible to a realistic degree to ensure that most people feel that the punishment handed out was just and fair. Staff members should always be respectful to not only players, but other staff too. Remember that you are a role-model and that treating others with a lack of respect will not only encourage them to break rules, but also feel unwelcome to the server and community as a whole. Regardless of the situation and whether they are a rule-breaker or not, treat everyone with the same degree of respect. This also heavily applies to staff members. If you don't like a staff member, remember that you are working with them and not against them, and that they are also a member of the community as well and should not be treated any less than such. There has been a lot of drama recently regarding a few staff members and we would like to see no more of that and for everyone to treat each other respectfully. Try to be less strict regarding the immature voices rule We are hoping to see staff hold back a bit more regarding the immature voices rule as we feel that staff are jumping to stop people from harmless fun on the mic far too quickly. For example, if someone does an impression of myself having fun on the server, let them but not to a consistent level and as long as people aren't getting annoyed by it. However, do not forget that this is still a rule and is still not allowed, but let people feel a bit more free regarding the rule. @mrnutty12@Caleb956@Kypari@Natsu@Segal@DiaperHyperWolf@Krampus@Arnude@SegFault@Precious@BonfireCentipede@FrostyBoiGrim@Nozomi@VinylScratch@bagggel@Deko@Owlknight_@Tekage

Hey guys, I know this is a far stretch, but I assume some of you xG guys have been here since the early years. I’m in need of some great screenshots of the DeathRun map known as Madfish_Final! Around September-November of 2011, I met a girl named Apple Juice (many knew her as Megan). We ended up getting together and have been a couple since then. I’m working on a scrapbook to give her this November as I am planning on proposing to her on our 7-year anniversary. We met on that map, so I’m trying to make a “Where it all began” page up to where we are now. If anyone has some nice spectator shots from around that time and wouldn’t mind them being used, could you link them to me? :) Thanks in advance!

This thread was a trainwreck to begin with and has remained that way for like, 4 hours

@FrostyBoiGrim you're like the gayest one here wtf

there are no straight people in xG so you'd be banning nobody

I agree, it was like a slap to the face when I read the "haha just kidding" part

I'm gonna miss having sniper wars with you. Have a great year and see ya then

Doesn't that mean you'll be banned? Unless you're a gay girl idk though.

Aye yeah it's been a great summer and I hope to see you on some more in the future, been fun playing with you on the server and teasing you in my spare time for playing sniper uwu But yeah good luck with school man, I wish you luck and come back soon.

I'm glad to help you tree, is sad that you wont be on as often anymore until next summer ;~;. Hope to see you whenever you come on tf2.

hope to see you around man! Sorry we never really talked as much. but good luck in school and sports my dude!

Damn. I’ll miss you dude.

I'm glad I could be such an influence on you my dude! Your'e great to chill with on xG, or any other game mode adventure we've had. I'm sorry to hear about the hours going down but school always comes first! Make sure to let us know when you're online next! edit:tagging @Krampus (sorry i don't know cookie's info but ill shoot him a link to the post)

I'll stay in xG but like I said I won't but too active which is a bummer for me but oh well school's here.

Having 8 bit music coming from Dispensers was a pretty cool thing to be honest; it was just a little bit of fun to have a bit of background music whilst sitting in your Engie nests. The idea is nice. HOWEVER. I have to address the fact that people with opinions on MLP are typically VERY strict to their opinion. Adding this to the server would cause a lot of backlash from half of the players, the other half either loving it or not really caring. Adding Ponyspensers back probably isn't worth the backlash it could get from the majority of people who play on our servers. Sure, they could do the logical thing and turn it off, but I don't think people would react well regardless of whether you can toggle it or not. Perhaps it would be a nice idea to add something similar, but not MLP? Just a thought. +1 for adding a dispenser sound mod -1 for adding ponyspensers For people who don't remember or weren't here when Ponyspensers were around:

Jesus christ Scott no wonder people think all you do is fucking complain

No that's 'laugh at the sound whores who turn up their volume to like 20000 to hear footsteps from a mile away' day

-1 I never really liked this plugin back then nor would it benefit anyone now, first off its a dead giveaway to anyone whos playing engineer and making an actual engie nest that isnt just for the music itself, I know for a fact there is already a huge disliking for the MLP fandom and there will be people out just to ruin others fun making it a huge 3 way race war between normal people, furries, and bronies, the admins will be so sick of the harassment reports from all sides and the veteran players will just either quit playing or complain in the long run that it adds no replayability to the server and is just another mess of code to add into the config thats my opinion and assumption, not that it matters since the community pretty much already has mostly voted no

Meh, it's a pinned post for a reason lol, it's fine if he posts here.

Stop being bad and you wont be grounded.

It forces everyone to be gay. This way no one steals my girl. Also, I'm a dude, you Gaylord.

I'll just... leave before this turns weird

i prefer kneecaps

Requested to be closed by OP -Closed

I am getting TIRED ? of being called a fag ?️? by this toxic scumbag named @Tatost ? I've been bullied ? for WAYtoo long by this IDIOT? As a way to prevent further bullying I suggest we BAN ? this word and REMOVE this player from our community ? WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

ok I guess I lose this battle, goodbye xenogamers

i HATE trolls

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

-1 no. People who care about what other people like are brainlets but it literally has nothing to do with gaming history and it would just add to everyone's download time when changing maps. Also gay bonfire gaming.

sorry i messed up the title. Supposed to be "This is far from the end"

I take this as my own

I prefer a nice peanut-butter, jelly, and pepperoni sandwich

Well how would you have a girlfriend if you're gay

A straight guy stole my girlfriend so I say we start a petition to, BAN ALL STRAIGHTIES It is better this way.

It’s a useless feature tha has no importance to gameplay. Also it’s ponies so fuck that. -1 (fight me bronies)
