  1. Oh lawdy it hurts > This decribes... +1 and also +1 for getting a flying sombrero in jailbreak just for @@Cristo to use
  2. So I dont know how you could possibly get this to <$500, unless you slowly bought the parts as they were on sale. @@Reflex @@MrAwesome104 Here is the price, as well as where all the parts can be bought: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black, HIS Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition, Apex Vortex 3620 - System Build - PCPartPicker As far as I know, windows 7 or 8 should be perfectly fine. To be honest, I would go with Windows 8, thats what I chose and I'm glad I did. (Will set you back around $95) It certainly will be a pretty good PC and the only issue I have with it is the processor, you can put in an extra 50 bucks and get something much better. Using 1920 x 1080 that graphics card benchmarks around 72 FPS on average using very high settings and high AA on Arma 2. I would expect to see it around 50 fps at least.
  3. Doesn't matter what happened, not one bit. This is not the place to be arguing about it.
  4. This was my problem considering what happened to me. I don't see why that should affect a night in which permission was given. You broke the rules when you knew there was going to be consequences. Different situations.

  7. I will be continuing Late Night Jailbreak next Saturday night (July 13th). Please note that the time has changed to 11: 30 EST (This is an effort to avoid entering a highly populated server). A few changes for this week: 1) smite @all command: It is highly advised that you do not use this power, it doesn't necessarily mean a ban, but to keep it under control please refrain from using it. 2) Important: If you have a complaint about something occurring, whether it be excessive abuse, DDOS threats, or something of the sort Contact me via Steam. I will not tolerate verbal complaints during the middle of a game, this was an issue last time and cause arguing over public voice chat. This looks bad upon of staff members, creates a hostile environment, and ruins the fun. I will respond to ALL complaints appropriately. If you feel as though a Division Manager or higher needs to handle the situation, then contact them. But remember, I am responsible in part for what goes on, and I will take every effort to make sure it is a smooth and fun night. I ask that if DM's receive complaints, that I am at least notified that there is an issue. (If you have a problem with this, fine, do whatever you feel is necessary. I am just trying to make a more controlled and organized environment to handle complaints.) 3) Do not ban another player for an inappropriate reason. 4) Please refrain from using racism, it doesn't present xG in a professional manner. 5) Staff members will play at their own risk. We assume you have some common sense in what is allowed, and what is still restricted. (Threats, racism, serious disrespect, constant mass freekilling, abuse deemed inappropriate by DM's+, banning players, ignoring warnings are all examples of things that can and will get you punished.) Do not enter the server assuming you are exempt from punishment, you will be warned if you are violating rules, but if you continue to act in an inappropriate manner there will be consequences. This is not meant to scare you, but just to let you know that I, as well as the rest of xG expect that you are mature enough to handle this event. I would like to keep it as fun as it was last saturday night and this was an unwritten statement, everyone there knew this in the back of their minds. I am simply putting it here to quell any issues that may arise down the road. ============================================================ I will not be tagging people at this time to inform them of this post, but I will be letting the server know occasionally to join us on Saturday night. Please notify your friends if you feel so inclined, the more people we have the more fun it will be. I may post once more prior to the event tagging those I know are interested if the need arises. ________________________________________________________________________________________ If you have questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions just pm me either on the forums or through steam.
  8. Absolutely stoked for this game.. I really hope they release it for pc
  9. Jordo, they were delaying. Doesnt matter if a time is given or not, you can clearly tell that the other T's were out well before and had completed the orders. You complain about the freekills, yet you start shooting them right after matsi does... I cannot find anywhere in the MOTD where it is stated that a time MUST be given. +1 needs to be unbanned

  11. Ill also confirm that was never in there.... the WARDEN ONLY may give the T a gun to fight with and it NOT considered gunplanting. The fights must also be equal (T has a glock and the CT must also have a glock. should read the T may be a clever little unicorn and use any resources to his liking. The fight must be as T sided as possible, otherwise its a shitty thunderdome round.

  14. But when its a night to just have fun and care less about the rules, whats so wrong amount having multiple wardays in a row? Who is it hurting? Every other day we follow the rules as closely as we can, I think staff members deserve a little fun every once in a while. If we still have to worry about getting demoted, slayed, banned or anything else for breaking a rule on a fun night... whats the point of it?
  15. I don't understand why people panic when they hear that the rules were pretty much non-existent. CS:S jailbreak is different now Chrono, its been getting ever more different since you left. We rarely can carry more than 10 people on the server after 11 pm est, and many times its clear out by 1am. I remember the days way back when you were constantly on, when late night jailbreak was always fun. But that was 2 years ago, things change. CS:S jailbreak is slowly losing its fan base, for many reasons, but one of them being the strict rules and lack of change. Late night jailbreak was the change many of us were looking for, it is a step in the right direction. In no way was it perfect, and I never claimed it to be, but for once we planned on doing something different and followed through with it. Don't start believing that staff members were given complete lack of rule or control, that's not how it went down. What I was saying is that staff members very well knew that they could do almost anything with their powers (common sense tells you what they weren't allowed to do still), but they had enough maturity to not push the limits. I know your judgments are better than most people here, but why are you judging what happened based on what you heard? I have been nothing but honest here, and those spreading rumors better post what they heard went on, or their rumors will remain rumors. I really don't appreciate you accusing me of taking something that you created (late night jailbreak) and "ruined it. soiled it". Maybe im taking it a little more critical than you were trying to be, but I find it rude, going on here to say that I ruined something (which you didn't attend) is not the right way to go about it. I would much rather appreciate that you came on here to discuss what happened, make suggestions to changes, and clear up rumors that you have heard. Because people can't seem to understand that you have to take what you are told with a little caution in xG, let me clarify EXACTLY what occurred during the night: Was there freeslaying? Yes. How much? A lot, but nothing that ruined the game, hurt anyones feelings, or that was in a manner that was excessive. Was there freekilling? Yes. How much? Again, there was a lot of this. But a majority of it was directed between staff members, again in no way did it ruin anybodys game or was it done in excess. Was there mass freekilling (3+ people)? Of course there was, and it was fun. It happened 2 or 3 times. One of them because we were doing mythbusters, how many heads can an AWP go through. Don't even start to think that you haven't wanted to try this, and we did it because it was fun. smite @all? Yes, a few times. No, it wasn't necessary but again it wasn't in excess nor was it ruining the game. This will not be allowed next time. ban @all? Yes, and for those of you who don't know what this does it simply strips everyone of their weapons. I used this twice for 2 reasons: 1) So we could have a round where nobody could rebel, nor could the CT's shoot us. 2) It was constant wardays, we needed a little break. Did anyone ban somebody? From what I saw absolutely not, staff members knew this would ruin the fun for somebody and that it would be pushing the limit. Did anyone kick somebody? Yes, a staff member kicked another one for not wear the proper tags (had just gotten mod in promo demo and didn't know), it was out of fun not seriousness. I believe there were a few other occurrences at the beginning, but nothing more than a regular late night session. Did the rules on sprays change? Yes, although this was only used by one or two people. Why did you ignore the complaints? What complaints? There were absolutely no complaints in admin chat or regular chat. Feel free to check the logs. How did you let people know what was going on? Megarobin, myself, Gkoo, Snakeboyeric, and a few other staff members used: All chat, regular chat, and @@@ chat to announce what was going on. Players were notified to contact us if any issues were occurring or anything was happening in excess that would ruin their game. I don't really think I missed anything, and as far as I know this is the entire truth. I was there the entire time, as was Gkoo who would have handled any abuse appropriately. If you heard something different Chrono, by all means tell me what you heard either in another post, steam, or pm me. This thread was put here for suggestions to improve it, and that's what I plan on doing. It is already decided that smite @all will not be allowed, and there will be normal punishments if it is used. You may consider what happened an "utter disgrace" but by all means it was one of the best nights I've had on jailbreak, and im not alone in that statement. Don't come in here and throw some crap around if you weren't there, you're better than that Chrono. @@Chrono

  20. I very much agree. If I were a new member who came across this server, and suddenly was greeted by one or more rounds where an admin smites @all, why in the hell would I ever come back? I would just expect admins to be abusing every time. You guys should really know as mods and admins that it's not enjoyable to some people if admins are smiting people. That's why we started doing it at such a late time, to avoid making the server look like a mess. We warned the server many, many, many times about what was going on. Staff members did a good job on letting everyone know what was going on. And admins were not smiting @all every round. I wish you all would have some trust in your staff members, I think they all held themselves up very well and kept it under control. If they cant handle lenient rules then you have to question whether they can handle it when there are strict rules. You can ask Gkoo, who was there the entire time, and he will affirm that everyone was responsible and mature about it. The point of late night jailbreak isn't to necessarily gain a whole bunch of new people, but to create a friendly environment. You gotta keep the people running the show happy if you want to keep everyone else happy. The rumors going around are skewed, people aren't all that sure about what ACTUALLY happened. 1) There was mass smiting, it happened 3 or 4 times. It was not excessive, nor did we receive any complaints. 2) There was a ton of slaying, again direct toward other staff members and a few regular members. It was for fun, nobody was crying over it. 3) Many of the people there will say that it was one of the best nights jb has had in a long time. 4) With the amount of times we said what was going on using @ and @@@, anybody there knew what was going on. We let them know that they could say something in admin chat if they thought something we were doing was inappropriate or excessive, we got 0 complaints. 5) Supposedly somebody was a little upset that they were part of the smiting, and again, its THEIR fault that they didn't say anything. We weren't doing it because we felt like abusing the hell out of powers, but rather because we thought it was fun. If somebody didn't like it they knew that they could tell us and we would stop. 6) Instead of accusing all of the staff members that were on of acting immature, abusing powers, and causing chaos, you need to understand the circumstance. Staff members were give FULL clearance to do whatever they wanted, if they wanted to smite @all every round then they could have without consequence. They could have banned people (btw nobody was banned), they could have kicked random people, but they didn't. The staff members that were part of Late Night Jailbreak acted in a very responsible and mature way. They handled a lack of rules or threat of demotion in a better way than I would have ever imagined. Every member there deserves recognition for being able to handle their powers in a responsible manner. Good job guys.
  21. That's not what I is though, there was a lot of slaying happening, but the majority of it was at other admins/mods. They had fun because its funny seeing staff members kill the crap out of each other, plus any game is allowed so it brings a completely different experience to jailbreak. It's hard for me to explain, and im sure equally hard to image, but the rounds were actually kinda of fun and it wasn't all just abuse. For the first 10 or so rounds it was just mass rebelling, wardays in cells.. it was just a lot of chaos. After that the rounds started to take a little more shape and became games that weren't allowed normally. Its kind of pointless for me to go into detail about what went on, it just doesn't translate right over the forums. And when the server went from 12 to 20 people in a matter of minutes, and lasted for an hour or so, I'd consider it successful. Only about 3/4 were members, but the rest stayed. Its rare that we have than many people on late at night (1-2am est)
  22. And that's exactly what it was, it was staff members having fun with powers. The majority of it was aimed at each other, but it also involved those without powers. As I stated before, it was not only enjoyable for those that had powers, but also for those that didn't. Everyone was having a good time, and everyone was having a laugh. It is a way for admins to use powers without being afraid of getting demoted, we all need a little time to have some fun and not worry about rules. Its both a fun night for the server as well as a time for staff members to enjoy each others company and have a little bit of reckless fun.
  23. And this was the point of the thread. From what I've been hearing, those that were uninformed of what was actually happened are getting stories from people that A. Weren't there or B. Were not part of the whole event. I hope that people aren't judging this based off of skewed stories, if you want an idea of what really happened talk to me or gkoo.
