As far as I know this was not during late night jailbreak, so I dont know why that is being brought up here. This has been a constant issue with jordo. This isnt the first time that jordo has done something like this, and at least from my point of view I havent seen him show that he knows the rules very well. I'm sure that there are others out there who can attest to this (and just look at that random ban he did for no reason, even though he started shooting to).
 
I was thinking about making a protest a while ago about him, so I guess this is as good as a place as any. I really don't think he does his admin job well, and in many cases just replies with immature comments when somebody questions him, as seen with chuck. Thats certainly not the way to handle situations.
 
Whether it be a demotion or talking to, something really needs to be done about it.

I really dont see why its a smart decision to keep anything more than: Jailbreak, RPG surf, Minigames, Slide Race and Bhop. Im assuming every server runs with its own separate cost, theres no point to keep these other ones up to be populated once every 2 weeks. Both a logical and business decision would say to only keep the ones listed (as they do get populated) and remove the rest. Whether or not the money goes towards CS:S, which it should, it is still a decision that should be made for the benefit of all of xG.

The day is not as much fun if we all cant target @@Gkoo . I say we demote Gkoo to Moderator for these kind of nights. And give us powahs like slap, timebomb, burn, freeze, bury, drug, please and thankyou.

Hey guys, thanks to anyone that was there tonight. If you missed it, we did start it later than originally set because of the amount of people on at 11pm.
 
I'm posting this just to get a reaction and any suggestions from those that were able to join us. If you loved it, please tell us.
 
I think it went over quite well for the most part, and it seemed that confusion was kept to a minimum. Thanks to Gkoo and the other admins that were on at the time.

We're gonna try for another one next Saturday, and any suggestions will be taken into consideration.

Theres gonna be some serious changes for next time, im not all that thrilled how it was handled by others this time

Milk, yeah I like milk. That Calcium gets me sooooo wasted

That shouldn't be a reason not to come... I don't understand what the resentment is all about regarding this night. Its not like you're going into the server and breaking the rules, its entirely approved.. no harm no foul.

Community night is better.

Fite me.

This is your reminder that Late Night Jailbreak will occur once again! Come to CSS JB Saturday night, around 11: 30pm EST to join us for a little relaxed fun. There will be something special occurring as well, I want to help give back to the community that has kept me entertained for so long. If you are smart you will find out the secret beforehand please keep it to yourself.. it means better chances of winning (assuming I'm allowed to do it).
I will be giving away 1 game tomorrow night through some sort of way, maybe trivia. It will be done at a random time. Due to the Steam Sale, there are a lot of choices for you, but I do ask to keep it reasonable. If you are kind enough to keep it to a cheap game, I will do 2 prizes.

Reopening this, Gkoo if you don't want iPlay removed, don't try fixing it again and breaking the entire thing, you baddie.
Also
+1 for iPlay unless we get the original put back. Who the fuck cares about the isolation doors sounding Satans mother screaming at us all for opening that door into the one way hell isolation.
+1 for Blax because there are no places for a warday and its a small map. If it was worked on and made bigger, it would be nice.
+1 for the new Electric Beta, because while it looks good and is fun, the ONLY way to legit get guns from armory is go through a teleport. There is no button.
Remove these 3 and we should be good for now.

Oh dear god @@Rhododendron please god.

Not trying to create an argument, but your mass smite would still be invalid. If the warden declared a freeday that was determined to be an invalid order by staff on, you would just say in allchat/mic that since the warden gave an invalid order, that the remainder of the day would be an invalid freeday, due to the warden's mistake. If a warden was to give some other kind of order that was determined to be invalid by staff (ex: "standing is restricted, all T's please shift-walk follow me), you would just say that the warden tarped, and not smite @all or something like that. Even if the warden screwed up to the point of giving an invalid warday area, you wouldn't just smite @all, you would declare the day an invalid freeday.
Regarding the ability to smite/slay @all on Late-Nite Jailbreak, the situations are much different as Hidingmaster said. As long as it's done with approval of other staff/not overdone/not interfering with the ability to play Jailbreak, I think it's fine, considering that this is supposed to be much more laid-off than a normal day of Jailbreak.

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.

I lost the email for the other room's admin account, so there's a new room now.

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.

Why is there such a heated debate going on about this? The CS:S Division and it's Staff decided to have a fun night with the permission of the Co-Leader as well as the Division Manager(s). Whether or not it's making a "mockery" of anything is irrelevant. There clearly weren't any objections or complaints from the players/members who participated in the event (at least none that anyone is providing).
 
If for some reason this managed to bring a whole slew of players to the server, who cares that it's unorthodox? Point is people are having fun, the server is getting populated, and no one seems to have any discrepancies. I'm going to be 100% honest in saying I'd be iffy about the abuse of powers, but I sincerely doubt our Staff is naive or ill-formed enough to target non-members or new players (with the exclusion of the occasional slay @all or smite @all). As far as I see it, I haven't seen a single Ban Request or Report Abuse sprout up in either section of the forums regarding the event. If it truly had gotten out of hand, at least one thread would have been made regarding it.
 
Honestly guys, calm down. It was given the go-ahead and our Division Managers were there to monitor the occasion. What more do you want? Because this may or may not be a "touchy" subject to some, this will be my only post. I won't be replying to anyone unless it's outside of the forums. Going to try to keep this thread on topic and leave my opinion since everyone else is. Hopefully I'll be around for the next!

What about that iplay map? Thing is broken, we should get rid of it and then +1 leobenfinal to take its place

I don't know why we still have some terrible maps listed, but I think they should be removed.

Post other ones that need to be removed

this is pretty cool.
