With tasers, wasnt it agreed that people could use them on ts that run away, even without guns? Unless people just do that anyway
@DrLee @Hidingmaster @Cristo

At certain points in time you realize that things you loved greatly cannot last forever. People move on, you get bored, things get stale. No matter how much you wish that things would return to the "way they used to be" you have to realize that it will never. CS:S is exactly this, something that was once a great time, with great people, and a game you could play for 12 hours straight without being bored. Unfortunately it just doesn't have to appeal, to anyone that plays anymore. We are lucky to have an hour a day with anyone on it.
 
Minigames fairs slightly better, but still has dismal population numbers. And when either of these servers are populated, most of the time it is members; the randoms are few and far between.
 
At the current moment, CS:S is seriously struggling. Population is low, its stale, people complain about the state of it. So what do we do about it.
 
There are really two options, and before carrying on I ask you to take a minute and seriously think it through. Don't look into the past and think about how much fun JB was in 2011-2012; you realistically cannot expect it to be the same ever again.
 
Option 1: The tough choice
 
Nobody wants to say it, but I have no problem being the first. I think a serious consideration about taking CS:S down for good is in order here.
As it stands right now, we are putting a lot of money into server upkeep but seeing very little benefit. We haven't changed much on the servers in what seems to be years, and certainty nothing drastic has changed to make it fun or worth it.
 
So let's say we do decide it's time to let go of CS:S, what can we do with the money that is saved? Well, it certainly will make xG that much easier to keep running; there would be less reliance on Silence and a few random people to keep the servers paid for. In addition this money could theoretically be invested into one of the other divisions, whether it be CS:GO, GMOD, or TF2. My hopes is that something would be worked out with CS:GO div @Bleed to migrate current mods+ and to work on creating a great JB and minigames experience there.
 
I tend to think of this option as the better for all option, versus the better for some.
 
The benefits of this choice are:
1) Save money, which xG has needed to do for quite some time.
2) More focus can be had on CS:GO, a division that I see a lot of potential in.
3) With focus on CS:GO, there can be a new experience that can create new memories
4) Letting CS:S go before it becomes an even bigger let down
 
Option 2: The risky choice

And then there's the second option which involves a makeover of CS:S JB. The three division managers (Cristo, Dr. Lee, and I) could attempt to essentially do jailbreak all over. Rewrite the rules (less strict), deleted all maps and add just a handful to get started, get hub into jailbreak, and even potentially remove bans to help open the server back up to a lot more people.
 
What we could do is just shut jb down for a week or two to get a lot of this done and create a stringent schedule that would be posted on the forums to get the list of items added and jb running. This would take work by a lot of people though, and may take a while to get going. We would need @Nomulous and @Bleed to get hub running.
 
My concern with this is 1) Not getting hub done, as it was supposed to be done a year ago and 2) A lot of work being put into this and only seeing a benefit for a few days once the server is back.
 
In my opinion, hub isn't the CS:S savior. It's not new, its really not different from other servers, and I can only see it bringing a few days of excitement back.
 
 
So those are just the two choices that I have devised, but there may be more out there. I already briefly discussed some of this with the division managers, but really it will be up to all to decide what happens.
 
And like I said, it is though to say that CS:S should be put away, but something you just have to realize when things may be done.

TF2 is shit

TF2 is shit

TF2 is shit

TF2 is shit

How about this, Dont come back ever again to css if it isnt "populated"

I really, really hate option 1 because CS:S is 90% of my daily occupation and I don't know what I would do since TF2 JB is shit and I don't really play any other games of the other division. That's the only reason I would prefer option 2. This thread is making me sad :(

IMO I think they shouldn't be given 6 months but 9 to learn the rules to be able to protest because that gives them PLENTY of time to learn the rules and most of the time after people are un-permed they come back into the server and break another rule and end up getting banned again. All because they didn't take the time to learn the rules.

@DeathGod
happy?
