People don't have the social cues they normally have in an irl conversation, so I agree, it's really fudgeing annoying to have some higher up butt into the middle of a civil conversation and yell 'EXCUSE ME PLEASE ONLY ONE ON THE MIC" just because one of you didn't realize the other wasn't done yet. Like I've seen this enough times and it's honestly like "okay, what do you think annoys people more here, the fact that two people were briefly talking at the same time, or someone grinding the entire discourse to a halt to holler at them not to do something neither of them were intending to do?" Equally enough times I've seen people just not fudgeing caring what's going on or who's talking before them and it just devolves into noise, so while the first situation is annoying, the rule is a necessary evil imo.

only pisses off the people who hog mic like dweebs If this wasn't ever a rule, I would have gone completely deaf. I'm exaggerating here, and I'm sure you've already realized that. It's incredibly annoying to have some dufus speak over you every time you try to speak. Without the rule, the annoyance of being spoken over will be multiplied until we've reached a clusterfudge on the mic. I would also like to add that traders and staff can't get on the mic when you people won't let up for a split second, it's ridiculous. The staff members and traders have a much better reason to be on the mic than the ten others speaking on the mic in a mesh of ERP, slurs, and memes. There is a difference between being on a server and going to a party. At a party, there are plenty of side-conversations going on in different sections of the room, whereas on a server everything is right there in your ears. Much easier to overlook the much quieter conversation from the other side of the room compared to someone whispering sweet nothings in your ear. This is where common courtesy comes into play. When you hear another person speaking, you stop. If they also stop, you either start back up again or you say "go ahead fam." Latency has nothing to do with two or more people speaking right on top of each other for a solid ten seconds. I can see why some people might dislike the rule, but it's a pretty simple concept to grasp. Sorry, yellow hat glasses : (

Division Team Fortress 2 In-Game Name YeEternalTuna Identity STEAM_0:1:56604228 Position Moderator Time Active on Servers 29 days 16:16:38 hrs Information I've been in xG for about 2-3 years now and I've been mod and admin (for a total of 9ish months) and its been around 9 months since I stepped down. The TF2 division has changed quite a lot ever since then. Since I've gotten interested in TF2 again and that I got to know the new(ish) community more, I feel like I should become staff again because summers coming (or already here for some people) and I know there's going to be an influx of people/rule breakers. Plus there are some regulars that look at staff negatively (only a really small amount) and I would like to (attempt to) change their view of staff. All in all I'm starting to get more active now and I'm getting the feeling of crunching some trolls since I have more time to do so.

I would like to see you more active on the servers for now. You do reach the activity requirement as of now, but only at around 15 hours. You informed me a while ago about your situation with your parents (I'm sorry to hear it D:), and I remember having a few issues with your regarding AFK'ing on the server (such as taking showers and such while on the server still). Despite these things, I actually don't think I had a problem with you when you were doing your job. I'm going to stay neutral for now but I'm hoping to see you more on the servers so I can get a better impression as of late! Best of luck!

Disrespect, harassment or trolling is not tolerated and may result in a punishment. Staff are there to try and make the experience on the server as pleasant as possible. If people want to not care for that regard then that is their own issue and hardly reason for everyone else to have to suffer.

The reason I got in here is by some called Cookie, you should probably know her but she is my friend and she showed me this server to play on here a lot, it is also fun and really intresting seeing new things (positive, helpfull, etc...). Been here for a while so I though why not apply for member since I always enjoyed playing on here. If you finished reading thanks and have a good day/evening/night depends on your timezones. Much love ♥

Is that profile picture from lego star wars?

you need 50 form posts to apply

+1 in all my interactions with Tuna, and yes we're friends so this is bound to be biased, I have always sensed that he has real passion for xG and is genuinely interested in improving it. He seems to know a lot about the community. Also, he is usually* fun to be around and has a positive attitude. *Tuna, I do have some feedback for you, though. Your forum behavior shows another side to you. You often respond to things in a very pointed way, and while I applaud you for standing up for what you believe in, you don't have to be so negative and destructive about it. You can still stand up for your beliefs but be chill and polite about it. I think people would respect you more, too. I hope you understand what I mean. ? Anyways, good luck!

Hello everyone I'm new to the XG website even though it says the account is old. I'm Just now getting in to the website. (P.S My steam name is HypoCRITICAL, for some reason I cant change my username on the website.)

+1 Seems like a nice guy, knows the rules

Hello! I saw you on surf the other day. Glad to see you coming to the forums!

Welcome!

Welcome, I hope you find yourself at home here. I haven't had the chance to meet you personally yet but you seem super pleasant!

Hihihi!!

I was on when maf was complaining about this, and I feel it was completely unjustified. There were multiple people who continuously talked over others without adding to the conversation or topic. It got extremely annoying and started to sound like micspam, so I took action and muted those who repeatedly talked over others. Without this rule, there is nothing stopping the people on the server running 5 different conversations while 7 people talk on mic.

It was really great to meet you today! Hope to play with you much more this summer!

+1 and no it’s not because we are close friends, because we only started actually talking like 2 weeks ago. It’s because when he was actually staff he did enforce the rules like anyone else fairly, and still got so much crap from people for doing so. I can tell he actually wants to make a difference on how staff are viewed in a negative light

Uber Upgrades, during when Tuna was still mod, whenever I killed him, I spammed "lel". Instead of warning me, he proceeded to get upset at me and near insult me downright, infront of other servergoers. Pokemon Trade, before he was mod. Being disrespectful to many players that killed him and was unpleasing to be around. As I said, he has definitely changed and I'm more than settled on giving him a positive vouch. Examples seem unnecissary when I'm intent on being positive. Also, what grammatical error is there in my post? If you want to give me bad ratings to lower my rank, at least be upfront about it.

Hi! We've done a lot in the past few weeks, so here's an update post that we completely forgot existed: Spycrabbing/Raffle rule removed from all trade-servers (middlemanning is not mandatory but recommended) Boss spamming on FF2 is now allowed. Play who you want at will! Trading now takes priority on mic (though it always really has, it's now an actual rule!) You are not allowed to spray links as well as type them. BHOP Plugin Changed on Surf Fixed Halloween Wheel - 60 seconds Trails have been fixed Airstrafing is now the same level on deathrun as it is on surf FF2 Balance: Removed stuns on skeleton mann, knight, and phoenix wright Nerfed hp on ninjaspy Removed mariobros Readded sandmen for the time being Increased required damage to rage and rage damage on skeleton mann and phoenix wright Sonic.exe HP lowered Buzz Lightyear's mobility nerfed Gas Passer should charge 50% slower now and do 15% less damage

hmmm ?

Yeah there's many scammers out there kek, I get tons everyday and I'm sure that many others do also. What I usually do though is if your their inventory is private or has nothing or close nothing in it if it's not private and you have not seen them in game then I instantly block them since that's probably the easiest way to find out if they are one. Plus if you ever get a link or any notification about free items or coupons of any sort just never click em and you should be good. But anyway that's just some simple advice for anyone new to trading who need an easy way of identifying scammers

Unfortunately you do not meet the moderator requirements . Team Fortress 2 * You must have a minimum of 50 forum posts before you may apply. * You must have open communication with a Division Manager or higher before you can apply. You can find the submission rules here  Closed~

K I get that people have their opinions and I usually respect that, but this is fudgeing stupid. Comparing servers and a party is about as effective as comparing an orange and a piano. When everybody is talking to each other at once on mic, you can't talk to one specific person like at a party because everybody is at the same volume It's annoying for everybody else to listen to. Even for me my ears want to die on a full server where half of em' have a mic Voice chat isn't the only way to talk about something as well. If there is an argument / debate, nobody else wants to hear that on the mic

latency only takes place at the start of people talking. to somebody, they can say said person talked before the other, and to another person, they heard it as if they were both talking at the same time. not everyone on the internet is respectful

Yay! Smelly boy Spoopy is back

Chill. Not everyone is going to have a folder of evidence they collect against someone, especially when it's been nearly a year since they've been around much. That doesn't meant whatever has been done hasn't left a lasting impression. In the time I saw you as staff tuna, to call you great would be a bit of a stretch. You did the basics alright if not mediocre but beyond that you seemed to have some extreme problems with attitude. There was a lot of complaints I heard of in regards to it and just how you acted as staff in many situations from a variety of sources. Personally what I was able to see was that whenever confronted about how you acted, you'd be very dismissive of any of it and practically just ignore what people had to say. You also just didn't seem to have any care or effort when you would come on, but that was more towards the end before you stepped down. Over the time you've been active on discord though as onegolve said your mood has been really great and you've shown what seems like some real care for the place. Of course you haven't exactly been active on servers for awhile, but with that turning around things are looking up in general from how you were when you left. It's gonna be a -1 from me for now, but Im hopeful you can turn that around by not only being active on servers but showing that positive attitude there as well.

-1 Immature, causes a lot of controversy

no, please god, I'll do anything hi, spoopy I was hoping you wouldn't come back : ) xoxo

this rule is absolutely and indubitably pathetic and retarded, especially when it occurs in a populous server (surf and tgh at this point). it disappoints me when everybody talks at once and many of staff go apepoop, and as time passes it gets crazier. it happens all of the time when a discussion is currently taking place. either everybody talking at once comes to the epiphany that they're all talking over each other and they all hesistate, which stops the talking, or the people will commence the talking, and in this case, it wreaks havoc. better to not have it as a server rule to give people more freedom while talking on the mic, which brings a more social and friendly atmosphere, and to further shun the staff from having such a hard time with the ongoing issue. it occurs almost every single day i come on surf, but i'm not sure about tgh regarding the issue. a rule where people are not allowed to talk over each other only makes things worse. let them talk, regardless of the amount of people talking. i don't want to hear "don't talk over people" every minute, which not only pisses people off, but it also delays most of the conversations that the server has, this delay being (x) admin giving a poop and talking in (y) tone that talking over people is not allowed. imagine going to a huge party. you hear everybody around you talk, the music is loud, and everybody is having a fun time. you're hearing all of this noise, and if people are going to complain about people talking over each other, then maybe you should go outside. some others can view this controversial topic as a "lack of respect" for talking over somebody about to say something, but in a video game, latency exists, and it can't be compensated for when people are talking. this "lack of respect" can be intentional and non-intentional, and i'm sure the most of you guys can tell whether it was on purpose or completely on accident. otherwise, the victim is just being sarcastic. i understand that servers have their own rules and it's equivalent to going to a night club or any other local area with a myriad of people, but i've never been to any other server that enforces that rule, and if i see any reason being because the server is more unique that way, i'm going to cry.
