Just gonna keep this short and sweet. Thank you all for the memories that we shared, we had a hell of a ride. Wish you all the best

You meant to say Bello. It's okay, we forgive you.

@Aegean explain

Take care of yourself my dude. You have nothing to apologise for, life hit you like a truck in the past while and it's been out of your control. We all have your back, thick and thin.

Probationary mod was typically given to people who were newer or we were less sure about how they could handle staff responsibilities (eg, this mod app). Yep, that's why probationary mods haven't been a thing in cs:go for over a year now

Best DL we've ever had. Change my mind Love you broski

I'm remaining neutral as I have not seen him in-game and I don't play CS:GO (maybe on MC? ScottNi will have to tell me his username) but I still want to put in my 2 cents real quick. ScottNi has clearly made an effort to be kind and helpful, and I always appreciate that. ? ScottNi doesn't deserve to be shut down just because of PMs between him and a friend (for reasons which have already been explained by others). However, if I did play CS:GO servers I would -1 this app. I just don't feel super comfortable having ScottNi as staff given the stories of explosive immaturity - stories which have their truth enforced by the PMs (based on how ScottNi behaves and nothing more). I probably could've explained that better, but I hope you catch my drift.

In my opinion probationary mod is stupid and if people aren't fit for full mod then they shouldn't be staff at all. It's nerf or nothing.

Usually probationary mod is given to previous staff members/players who abused or did something sketchy. Which isn't the case for @ScottNi. Take probationary mod out of the question.

I guess it's my time to shine. Before I start, I'd to let you guys know that activity and ability to play JB correctly does NOT mean someone is fit for moderator. If that were the case we'd promote everyone who's been on for a decent while and knows how to play. ScottNi is definitely a special case in xG. He's a generally fun person in most cases but can also show signs of immaturity or just not being ready. Through this TEDTalk writing I will explain the three things you should keep in mind about Scott before coming to a real decision, and maybe I can change some points of view. Firstly, we'd have to talk about Scott's impact on the community, we'd have to talk about his maturity, and his readiness to handle leadership. Scott has the potential to be a great staff member but does not clearly present it. To start us off, Scott is usually an enjoyable person. There hasn't been major troubles with him since Goldfish. But even coming from me, Scott has some serious issues with goldfish and did not show even the slightest bit of kindness when around him. Scott plays a lot of 10mans but in the case when it gets toxic, he often contributes to the toxicity rather than helping. While he usually doesn't start the problems, he sure doesn't fix them and a lot of the times causes them to continue further and build up more toxicity. Scott has made friends with the majority of the community as well as joining in on memes, them being annoying or not. Scott has definitely shown his involvement with the community, but not his commitment. Scott has issues with maturity. He doesn't showcase his best behavior and often has problems with certain members. He also doesn't react kindly to random people who don't like him. Scott has shown that one of his major weaknesses is his immaturity and while there are attempts to improve, nothing is achieved. Scott also doesn't seem to own up to his mistakes and instead tries to play it off or just make an excuse. When receiving criticism, Scott often pulls the hypocrisy card or shifts blame. This minecraft stuff that's been going on shouldn't be disregarded since it is key evidence displaying Scott's personality. If he acts this way on other servers chances are he's not going to put on a mask on xG. I assume we wouldn't encourage fake personalities solely on our servers while also representing the xG community outside and being intolerable. Scott needs to improve on his overall maturity and how he acts around the public of our servers. Donald McGannon, a broadcasting industry executive in the mid 1900's, once said "Leadership is an action, not a postion". This is a perfect example to use here since it seems like Scott doesn't have much interest in moderating servers, but more for the position you stand in. I'm not saying he is power hungry or would abuse, the problem here is that I've seen too many of these examples where someone is just tired of getting freekilled and being too lazy to get evidence. Another issue here is that due to either his wardening skills, his voice, or his overall personality, it doesn't seem like the semi-new community likes him much. With the moderator position you will get less disrespect and can act on the people who don't like you, which is not at all what it's about. Moderating is about leadership and readiness to voluntarily commit your devotion to the community. The willingness and eagerness to help out when needed is what it's about. The ability to not play, but moderate carefully when needed. I just don't think Scott shows visible signs that he is ready. In conclusion, Scott hasn't shown enough maturity or readiness to be a moderator in the community. He may have a decent reputation in the clan but just doesn't show the leadership skills or the maturity to join us in the roster yet. I believe Scott will one day soon be ready but for now he just hasn't got it in him. One day Scott could make a great moderator and he definitely has the potential but just overall does not show enough that we can see. I will not be +1ing this moderator application due to the fact that Scott does know clearly present his potential to be a moderator. Unfortunately, a "neutral" does nothing and gets nothing done. In this case I am going to have to go with a -1. Scott's overall maturity and presented moderator-friendly skills do not convince me that he is ready to join the CS:GO XenoGamer staff roster. -1 for mod -1 for probationary mod. I don't feel like probationary mod is the way to go. I believe someone should apply when they are truly ready to join the staff as a full mod and shouldn't have to prove themselves worthy or whatever.

Hey everyone! @Aegean and I are hosting a charity raffle for a chronic illness called Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E); a life changing disability that turns simple everyday tasks into a marathon. M.E leaves a person constantly fatigued and in devastating pain. Some days, you'll be lying in bed all day, barely able to move, limbs feeling like they're twisting in ways they shouldn't. On a good day, you can walk to the kitchen and back, but that will be all you can do for the day. Unfortunately, my girlfriend suffers with this illness quite severely and is wheelchair bound, can barely attend social events and struggles to make her way to school. There is currently no cure. Despite all of this, she always has the brightest smile on her face and always stays positive, no matter how difficult coping with this horrible illness can be. She has a passive passion for art and is a fantastic musician that will bring tears to the eyes of even the manliest. As a bunch of people who donated do not wish to take a part in the raffle, we will donate the raffle prize amounts to the charity as well, and invest in more giveaways in xG throughout 2019! *Edited by Aegean* The charity in question is called the M.E Association, which aids people suffering with this chronic illness by providing support, raising awareness and researching into one day finding a cure. ME Association WWW.MEASSOCIATION.ORG.UK If you would like to donate, please click on the link above and donate. After donating please message me with a screenshot or post the receipt in this thread so we can figure out the total amount of money raised! Thank you everyone!

Do you ever say anything that isn't pessimistic or cynical? Anyways, gahh this is rough to see Caleb. I remember the first time we really got to meet each other, you were asking people to tell jokes and I told a few and you added me. You've always been such a cool staffy boi and an inspiration for me to do better. While it's sad to see you go, if you believe you're doing the right thing, I respect that. Thanks for always being a good friend cleb, I hope we meet again soon ?

Welcome to the Retiree club. Grab the oats!

Is big rip to @Caleb956, we'll all miss you and hopefully see you around servers ?.

CS:GO has a ton of members that were in xG back in 2010 - 2012 and generally older than the TF2 crowd which leads it to being more laid back as others have said. A lot of us grew up with xG and matured so it's definitely different if you're used to ONLY the TF2 side of xG. Both are fun though, with great staff so come stop by if you want ?

Dang this is kind of crazy to see, you're gonna be missed in that role dude. Thank you for what you've done, gonna be a hard shoe to fill. Also don't just disappear now, you still need to carry me through Dark Souls 3 sometime

FEAR

Thank you for your service!

Caleb, I know I've said it to you in pms but I can't say enough how much you've done for xG as a whole, our division, and me personally. You're without a doubt one of the best DL's this clan has ever seen and while I'm sad you're stepping down, I wish you all the best and look forward to seeing you grow for years to come.

Obata pt. 2

Jadow just solved the equation... WE NEED A REFORMED SCOTTNI

Never met you but I hope everything works out. You go make some bread and we will hopefully see you again.

This is what I meant by in my essay when I said "making an excuse" or "shifting blame". Scott, you're great and all but you have to remember that even the personal Minecraft stuff is accounted for since it DOES show your temper and how you act to certain situations. You said the -1s are mainly off of your MC situation and you saying this worries me that you didn't really read or understand the actual criticism some of us provided.

As we see now... the master samurai... off to his new adventure... legends say, that he still has him home on sand...

I’m assuming most of the reasons for the -1 all root from the single day on MC Which I was already pretty upset about irl things. So I pretty much just dropped everything by blocking sodium. Then this sprouted off to him mic spamming and spamming in chat over and over as I’m just trying to forget about things and I got mad at him. It’s the same thing that he did to Danny. I blocked him and it was over with. That was personal between me and him considering the fact that I didn’t affect anybody else and this happened off of xG servers. May Be hard to understand but that’s my reasoning for this happening. I was upset he made me mad then continued to bother me after the fact instead of just dropping it.

No ? You're a super friendly dude I hope to see you around :y

Spoke to Caleb, he will be stepping down from staff, but will help code plug-ins and help the TF2 higher-ups if they need it. He'll always be a higher-up in our hearts, even if he doesn't want the position

the community is far better than tf2 side of xg. ?

+1 nice dude, active, friendly

0. One of the most active people on the server and very knowledgeable of the rules but I'm not confident that the level of maturity is there just yet. He reminds me of myself in 2014* (where I should have never gotten mod honestly). Generally kind to the server population but as soon as someone starts being annoying or someone he adamantly hates (supermaki, goldfish, sodium etc) is around it turns into insulting and a generally negative tone. Also tends to hold grudges and continue arguments where the easiest option would just be to leave (can't argue with stupid lol). best course of action imo is probationary mod for 2-4 weeks. *"Immature 12 year old" ~Charles/Hexx

Best of luck for those who decide to enter Great incentive!

Sorry, I don't want to stick my hand in my own shit when I wipe my ass. Standing is the way to go.

I did a thing

Just to clarify, applying for member does not give you moderator, admin or any staff position. Being a member means you are officially part of the community, represent our clan with the tag and have a chance to be given moderator in each promo demo. There are multiple different perks to being member too, such as being able to vouch for other players to become member, apply for staff and be considered for staff. Here is a link to the staff application guide. PLEASE read through the guidelines as we've had so many people apply without being eligible for staff

This is becoming extremely petty, regardless of what you think of Goldfish, being annoying isn't enough of a contributing factor to remove his membership. I also have been in discord multiple times where you all egg on Goldfish and when he says something back in frustration, you all gang up on him. @Lottamos I'm telling you right now, you seriously also need to improve your attitude. I know you're young but you should seriously consider improving your attitude and not trying to make everything into an argument. Unless Lithium thinks this has any validity, I'm closing this thread for now.

THIS GOES TO EVERYBODY Just BECAUSE you do not like him or he isn't a good warden/guard doesn't mean you can bully and say things we don't care to know ON HIS MEMBER APP, people tend to forget that this is a MEMBER app not a damned General post, We need to know -1 or +1, yes that includes a reason, but for people to say "has no place being a member on this server" is ABSURD. Mouse is a young guy and he will mature over time, DON'T -1 him because of his age or his freaking guard skills or just because you don't like him, -1 over his basic knowledge of jb and overall status on the server. I don't know what is wrong with some of the people who posted on this app, but that shit needs to stop. Anybody is welcomed to our server, so treat him like that, treat him like a person instead of a damn animal.

Division Team Fortress 2 In-Game Name Jackie Identity STEAM_0:1:70818115 Position Administrator Time Active on Servers 4 years Information I am obviously the best candidate on xG to be in a position of power. I have shown in multiple cases in the past how responsible I am with power. I'm the most respectful person on xG and I always follow the rules because I'm a good girl. In my new position as administrator I will be sure to punish anybody who decides to say any harmful words to any minority and give them a good moral scolding. I will threaten to mute anybody at the slightest sound of a musical tone in their voice. I will EVISCERATE anybody who even thinks of saying anything in a silly or immature voice, AND I WILL BAN ANYBODY WHO EVEN DARES TO QUESTION MY REASONS FOR PUNISHING THEM, FOR THEY ARE DIVINE. (take it to the forums, nerd xddd) Now you may ask, "Jackie, why are you applying for Administrator and skipping moderator?" Good question, it's because MY IQ IS OVER 150 WHICH MEANS I AM A CERTIFIED GENIUS AND AM AUTOMATICALLY BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU. Now you may also ask "Well Jackie, why would you want to apply for staff if you hate the staff?" Another good question, obviously the answer is that I have learned from my evil and petty ways and have taken by example by the new staff members in the TF2 Division. I have embraced the way of xG, and I wish to feel the same rush of adrenaline staff get in their peepees when they enforce rules biasedly and regardless of context. It is the ultimate pleasure. For my hours, I will only come on for 5 minutes everyday just so I can hold my position as a washed up staff member and leave immediately when another staff member comes to take my place. I am the ideal xG staff member. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Division: Minecraft Staff Name: Bun_E / Amy Staff's Identity: STEAM_0:1:29168923 Evidence: Further Information: Pictures of the DL building in creative in her town, where she and three other people live. And a picture of her admitting to using creative to build. Also when constantly asked by a player who needed help with the bugged Iron Golem spawner, not replying, which led to her getting told by people on the server to do her job she got angry, the player who first told her to to her job got flamed and kicked. Amy's town, Paradise has, as I've mentioned three other residents. Who play the game legitimately. One of these residents has admitted to only two of all the buildings in Paradise being built legitimately. So having someone build everything in creative is an unfair advantage.

I will be taking the town down and keeping only the materials myself and my residents earned, we will be relocating to a new location and starting fresh without aid of creative mode.

I already addressed she got warned for using Creative in her own town, and will be removed from power if she is caught using it again to benefit herself. This conversation was only yesterday, and she didn't deny doing it, apologized and knows the consequences if caught again. Here are the logs. Did you know that @grap_grop was being rude and annoying in chat, is that why you omitted grape's part of the conversation and pretty much the whole context to put her in a bad light? He definitely deserves a kick and/or a mute. I wouldn't have even blamed her for a 30 minute ban to cool down if he continued after this. I'm actually interested to know how much of grape's comments you knew towards Amy and still made this thread regardless, did you think we would disregard any context? We have rules about stuff like this and try to do our best to get evidence from all sides on purpose to stop groups of friends to circlejerk and target someone they don't like with false narratives. This is a gaming community, you do not need to like everyone, but acting hostile and trying to make them feel unwelcome is not acceptable. Had to quote this recent post from you into my post, you egged her on for both of her "responses" that you guys were trying to show she was disrespectful for, did you think we can't see logs, or did you just forget your behaviour when you cherrypicked your screenshots? She also said she doesn't know in terms of spawners, and that Hina would. You belittle her in the chat, insult her and keep putting the stupid :thinking: meme and sarcastically call her the best dl in xG when she's telling you to shut up. You have got to be kidding me with this thread.

I have been working 70 hours a week due split between two jobs, and this has shown no signs of slowing down at all. I also feel the need to apologize for my lack of activity as well. I take great pride in my work ethic, but the display I have shown to all of you is shameful on my part. Any job, volunteer position, or commitment is a promise, and I have demonstrated poor integrity in that regard to all of the staff members, so I apologize.

If there is 20 Gladiators in the arena, 3 Gladiators been killed by a @Genocide, 6 Gladiator been thrown into the fire pit. 1 Gladiator Run away to freedom, 10 Gladiators fight each other to the death(no survivors been found). how many Gladiators are left.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO F
