First off, I finally got my old account back so hype!
 
Second of all, I will most likely return (no troll) with conditions that I have talked with Silence/Rhodo about and I will explain some of the changes that are to be expected to be worked on when I fully rejoin.
 
1. Make xG completely self-sustainable. This means zero dollars coming from Silence's pocket monthly and all of it from Ads, Sponsors and Donations. This will also result in more servers, more server incentives, and circling back to advertising xG on other platforms.
More news on this soon.
 
2. Improve the staff activity on servers that need it. This includes TF2 as well as CSGO, I or another higherup will be in touch with the DL and DMs of the communities to think of solutions to addressing these problems.
 
3. Getting a permanent and dedicated server, staff and user base on Minecraft.
 
4. Cleaning up the MOTDS/Guides, and trying to promote more discussion and activity on the forums. Self-Explanatory
 
5. Listening and promoting more community feedback. The servers begin and end with the userbase, and I think more people need to be encouraged to speak about problems that they are having, or changes they would like to see.
 
6. More work on social media and youtube to advertise xG as a community.
 
That's it for now, thanks for reading!

so far.

Uhhh god damn it I'm just about to go to bed and I see this thread.. I'll post why you SHOULDN'T accept him when I wake up.
"Side note" Silence/Rhododendron was the main reason *although I never argued with him about it" that Ducki Jr. was banned from servers and not allowed to be affiliated with us for the most part. I'm not xG anymore, and obviously community has a big say, but trust me, this is just as bad as giving someone like Netex another chance. Also, how are you guys giving his activity and maturity a fucking 8-9 out of nowhere?

So many wrong things in that story, Edison did not leave cuz silence randomly mass freekilled in a server. He also wasn't the "bees knees" for a long time, he got disliked very quickly with how he acted towards others including higher staff such as myself and other div leaders and lower staff as well like mods.
Maybe I'll write up the real story someday :3

What are the flaws with xG?
 
1. No one wants to do anything themselves to better xG, it's all about what they can get in return.
I'll explain. There has been nothing innovative in XenoGamers that people implement to XenoGamers, or new ideas that people just do for the betterment.
Here's an easy example.
Community Nights - Super easy to do, no one has the initiative to do it. The idea that Rpgs had thought of that him and I implemented was every week we choose a random server to go on, and invite a group of people, invite them to TS and tell their friends about it, and I'd be giving away free credits.
Did everyone get credits? No. Did everyone have fun? Yes. Did people meet new people? Yes.
This is the biggest problem since when I was Co-leader, not just me but we had people who actually cared about the community. Did I have to do community night? Absolutely not, I coulda played games I actually wanted, but this was planned to be a weekly thing but when I left, I didn't think people would think of excuses to not keep Community Night going. There is no fucking reason to not do it every week, since it's easy to get a few admins to administrate since they'll want to be there and have fun. You don't need some "permission" from a co-leader or leader to do this, just tell your friends and post a thread. You don't even need to give out credits, just give out a reason for members to meet staff and each other, and just enjoy servers that might not be played so often.
Tl;Dr = Community nights are easy but staff or people who "care" about the community don't want to do it because they personally have nothing to gain.
 
2. Staff don't talk to each other well, and forums are not regulated well.
There's been so many times where staff disagreed with something a higher up has changed, and either the lower staff wouldn't implement this rule which would cause huge confusion over servers, or they would just be pissed about it. This is a gaming community, this shit should not be happening in such a developed community. Staff should ALL be discussed for the most part for new rules that might have dispute over it. Why are Divs implementing rules that admins and mods don't agree with? Easiest example was the dumbass rule over staff having to be in teamspeak while they are in server, and they can't be muted. This was such a dumb rule, and on top of that staff were to be punished over such a rule. This shit should not be happening, discuss it with staff, post it on forums and get the communities opinion on such changes.
Tl;dr = Staff don't communicate well, and many disputes happen that shouldn't happen.
 
Forums not being updated is a 2 parter.
I. There are many rules (age wise, teamspeak being mandatory etc) that I myself put on as the rules. So many people get accepted into the clan without passing qualifications because
A) People who accept don't know the rules and just assume they know.
B) They like the person and don't care if they don't qualify 100%
If you want some of these rules changed, if you discussed with others, implement the change on the actual appropriate areas, and bold the change with a timestamp. This will avoid confusion and weed out the 13 year olds who never use their mic and get +1's from people who +1 everyone.
Tl;dr = Update and keep up your knowledge on the rules/guidelines of forums and applications.
 
II. The main threads like jobs of staff, which I wrote about every staff position except DM who wasn't there when I was Co-leader, should have been updated months ago. Why can't div's just add a little description to it to say what DM's are supposed to do? Do you think it's stickied to remind people who I am? No, it's thread has an actual purpose, if you're staff, act like it.
Another part to this, is that no one bothers to make helpful threads for new members, or has any new ideas to get the community involved. The forums have huge amounts of traffic every day, why not take advantage of it? The sticky threads should not be things that are over a year old and nothing more.
Tl;dr = Update forums with current stuff, sticky important matters.
 
There is much more to this I can add that I've seen this past year as a non-member, and I'll add to this later after thinking of how to word them.

You have to kiss so much ass to get advancement in css its not even funny. Some staff waited many months and years to get admin where other people jsut kissed ass got admin in like a fucking month. Hell people have gotten staff without even being in the clan with that div. The staff is a large problem for css, you got staff who are active but don't do their jobs then you got the good staff members who have been on for 2 years and they are rarely on. And all the clan does is fight with each other.

So I was reading what @@Link! said in the Flaws of xG post... And I kind of... Dinged? I want to coordinate xG members and friends to play a game and engage in a community night. It will be on the TTT server (GMOD) this coming Saturday starting at 9 P.M. (EST).
