  1. +1 Chill dude, good player, hardly have any problems with him. my bhops are better though
  2. +1 Banned him/his alt yesterday for a day for racism and general toxicity. Though I think a longer ban is in order, as he has consistently broken rules, argued/disrespected both staff and members, and otherwise just acts like a petulant child. Many other staff can attest to this, as he has been banned several times before. He seems to carry this sentiment even whens staff are online, if that says anything. The only improvement I have seen is that he does not try to randomly do flick freeshots/freekills anymore, but I did not get to see him play CT yesterday, so even that is up in the air. Since they have banned him/interacted with him recently, @Bonk and @Brady1780 would be good staff to comment on his behavior.
  3. +1 swell dude, plus being an #oldfag definitely helps.

    Fitness help

    For something like this, stretches would probably be what you need. I am no doctor, but I know that stretching can help with stuff like this. Just google stretching techniques that work on lower abdomen/core. As far whole body workouts, I personally highly recommend swimming. It works out pretty much your entire body at the same time, is great exercise, and if you don't like sweating (like me) you are in a pool so it does not matter. I am aware it is starting to get colder out, so I suggest finding an aquatic center/indoor pool that you can swim laps in. You have no idea how many calories you burn swimming laps, and you really do feel healthy after every workout.
  5. Have had many problem with him in the past. Have muted him on occasion so I can at least vouch for his toxicity. He also shows zero respect to anyone, unless they are staff in which case he will simply say 'hey just kidding!'. There are many other staff and members who can testify to his behavior. Not in favor of any sort of permanent ban, but I would be in favor of a temporary ban to hopefully get his attention and try to get him to clean up his act. tl;dr -1 to anything perm +1 to a temp ban
  6. Glad to have a progress thread! You are in good company, this is why I only ever build into caves or other places, because all my houses all look like the physical embodiment of the color beige.
  7. No worries, see ya then! A+
  8. Well, if we can get a few more people a soft date would probably be within the next two weeks, earlier depending on how quickly things fill up. As @onlyalittlegay mentioned, everyone from all skill groups are welcome. As long as you have CSGO, you can participate.
  9. As an oldfag of xG, I can tell you that things right now are pretty solid community-wise. Our staff roster is full of mostly competent people, and besides a few exceptions most of our members are pretty cool and at least try to be friendly. I can't speak for any randos you encounter on the servers, but then again you did not really give us much to work with. Judging from your post history, you have a tendency to post non-substantive or controversial stuff. So maybe this is just a troll thread, or at the very least, you did not really think before you posted. As a side note, I think there might actually be less drama than there was back in 2011/2012. tl;dr
  10. Of course, there will be a losers bracket and winners bracket. But we need actual players before we can even have any brackets.
  11. We had an unofficial 1v1 tournament a little bit earlier, with yours truly keeping track. If people are up for it, we could definitely organize a full on tournament with prizes and a more readable and understandable match flow. I believe there is even a topic in the csgo discussions about it, but I am not sure if that is still planned to happen. Oh, and congratz @CJCasper for the win, and shame on @Genocide for throwing. Anyway, if anyone wants this to happen, vote yes so we can gauge interest, and post if you want to participate. All are welcome!
  12. Fixed. But yeah, I believe what @Spirit (chance wtf?) said is accurate.
  13. You have awakened a nightmare. or atleast, a really dead meme
  14. I live in a dorm in the middle of nowhere, so I spent my time sitting on my ass and eating pizza rolls. Also Should have spent less time partying and more time working on the minecraft server you nut.
  15. You know you just described loop-holing right? You know that is what that is called right? When someone calls some a 'tigger', them saying that they used a t instead of an n is not a valid defense. Especially if the context shows that it was meant to be loop-holing. Also, if a staff member (really anyone) tells you they do not want to be called something they find offensive, it is generally in your best interest to stop. At any rate, while I do trust Seg's opinion, I have not played with you at all so I will remain neutral. I do suggest however, that you seek to improve how others see you. Just try to be more respectful and don't antagonize others in the servers.
  16. I enjoy banning @Arthman from the servers as revenge for all the times he aboosed me back in CSS. im kidding please don't demote me lithium
  17. Congrats @loftydrum, do us proud!
  18. This makes number three. The third time you have come back, and left within a few days. Look, I get that you are having issues, but it is incredibly frustrating when you say you want to better yourself and don't put in the effort. From what I have seen, almost nobody has been straight up toxic to you. They have given their feedback on what you need to improve on and how to go about it. I think it was made pretty clear from the post where you said you improved yourself, that we wanted to see it first. We wanted to actually see results, and it takes time to actually prove this. Here is where I think you are having issues, you are being incredibly short-sited and impatient. Time is the key, you have to put in the effort which does not happen instantly. @SegFault said it well (and while I was typing this so thanks for that.) Finally, please don't do something you regret, lik- Like that. But in all seriousness, this is an example of what we are talking about. Every time you leave you dig yourself a deeper hole, and when you want to come back it becomes harder and harder to climb out of it. Well, good luck with wherever life takes you. Also as Seg said, you are still welcome here.
  19. I am fully aware the staff for the CS Division is pretty large, but if we do have extra room I think that you would be pretty qualified. Keeps up with the rules, friendly to new players, and is respectful to staff. The few times I have seen him goof up were usually minor things that he corrected himself. also he lets me repeat ninja steps sooooo +1
  20. Pretty much this. Imagine that you are playing jailbreak, there are a lot of Ts and you manage to be the last one standing. Kind of ruins the whole idea of LR if all the CTs slay because they can't handle dealing with something they don't like/don't want to do. You know, like the Ts just had to do for the entire round? I think it is a perfectly valid rule and keeps things fun.
  21. I am going to remain neutral here. While I have had problems with him before, I don't think he is to the point of losing member. I also want to stress something very important to everyone here: Gaining member and having it removed are two separate things entirely. Once someone has member, it takes a lot to get it removed. Not letting me quote, but to reply to something @Tekage said. Normally I would agree with you 100% about needing actual screenshots/demos. But in Goldfish's case, a significant portion of the CS community can attest to a lot of this behavior. There are even logs of the discord spat he had. I do also want to emphasize, I am not defending his behavior. I think that he has a very flawed viewpoint on a variety of things. But, I think that we should at least allow him some time to improve. Ask any of the oldfags, and they can tell you there have been some utterly toxic asshats who have joined xG, but have improved themselves and their reputations during their stay. To conclude, I just want anyone +1ing to really think hard about what removing his membership will actually accomplish.

    -1 Not to dogpile, but you lack the maturity and ability to be a moderator. The first is simply that you are a shit-disturber by your very nature. You like to cause issues, whether that be antagonizing people, baiting freekills, or just otherwise trying to cause problems. You latch on to something, to the point that when something does not go your way you will whine and complain about it incessantly. I am also pretty confident in saying that you will abuse any power that you would get. You argue with staff, and refute any evidence we provide as 'you are wrong and I am right'. This attitude makes you very unfit to be a moderator. In short, no on all accounts. Honestly, when you are not being toxic you are not bad to have around and can be fun to laugh with/at. But you just are not mature enough to handle any sort of server power.
