Ok so as some of you may be aware earlier in the week all the higher ups got together to discuss the future of xenogamers.
It was decided the xG Minecraft would become a minigames focused server. I have some fantastic minigames ideas, and ways to make it unique in the massive amount of servers Minecraft has.
Idea #1: Hub Credits. Ive been working on a form of hub to work with minecraft. Some ideas I've implemented are a way to get credits from winning minigames.
more ideas to follow, am feeling a bit sick right now so will update
Alright, so with what I assume is 20 backers from the poll, I'm hoping this will be enough (or at least a start) toward having a Population Schedule. I'll be posting another thread soon in regards to a time in which everyone can expect there to be population. That thread will involve discussion on the most suitable time for everyone, but keep in mind that this is a daily schedule which means the best time for everyone every day.
Just so everyone is aware, this particular schedule will only apply to the CS:S Jailbreak Server for the time being. Reason is that I would like this idea to first be tested before expanding the schedule to other Servers such as Minigames, RPGSurf, etc.
Keep spreading the word guys, the more backers we have for this, the higher the success rate!
Everything seems to be fine since we're downsizing the rules. :) The basic set of rules is there, and that's what we need. Unless, @Cristo or @Hidingmaster have a problem with it, I'll post it up soon.
UPDATE
@Rhododendron has said that he is able to add the ability to assign yourself to more than 1(one) division to show that you're more diverse in the games you play and can display that accordingly. We will be waiting on updates from Silence on how that's going.
Here's the MOTD I worked up in like 4 hours. Please read thoroughly and give feedback.

Game Explanations
[spoiler=Game Explanations]
- First Reaction Last Reaction
The Warden must first state that they will be playing first/last reaction. If the Warden calls out 'First Reaction', the first T to react to his order will be shot. Any Ts after that cannot be shot. An example of this would be the Warden calling out, "First Reaction jump" The first T to jump will be killed, but any Ts that jumped after that will not be killed. Another example of this would be the Warden calling out, "Last Reaction crouch!" The last T to crouch will be killed. If two Ts jumped at the same time, they both live. Valid first/last reaction commands: crouch, jump, type, spray, one step in a direction. You are not allowed to tarp with crouching or jumping rules during first reaction last reaction even if it`s past 5:00. First/Last Reaction cannot be played to determine LR.
- Trivia
Ask a common knowledge question to Ts, the winner gets a prize.The T’s must know the prize. No more than 3 T’s can die to the prize.
-Surprise Trivia
Same thing as trivia, but the T’s don’t know what the prize is. You must type the prize in team chat. The winner gets the opportunity to keep or pass the prize.
- Simon Says
This can only be played after 7:00. This is played just like the childhood game. You cannot tell Ts to Kill CTs or get guns.
- Pokemon
A T is chosen for the T pokemon master via trivia or another fair way. The T may choose another T or himself to knife fight the CT chosen by the CT pokemon master. The CT Pokemon Master is the warden unless specified otherwise. This can only be played with 3 or more T’s alive.
- Thunderdome
This is like pokemon, except fighters fight to the death. a T may use a gun as long as it isn’t used against the audience.
- Odd Man Out
This game requires 3 T’s. There is 2 actions the T’s can do (i.e. jump or crouch) and the T that is the only T to do the action is the odd man out. The warden must specify the prize for being odd man out before it is played.
- Opinionated Games
Opinionated games are contests among T’s in which 3 CT’s judge whether or not the T lives or dies. A couple examples are “what’s for dinner”, “Joke day”, and “Dive Contest”.
-Death Soccer
The only time teamkilling by Ts is allowed. Can be played for LR.
Terms
[spoiler=Terms]
- Camping
Being within 10 feet of the same area for more than 15 seconds.
Camping in a vent is deemed walking back and forth inside a vent with no intention of leaving.
CTs may not camp in front of cells with a vent. That includes backing up 20 feet and staring into the cell.
- Baiting
Being within knifing distance of any T. If a T knifes a CT who is baiting and is killed for it, it is not a freekill.

Not a thing. Cannot order Ts to do it.
Special Days:
[spoiler=Special Days]
- Freeday
A day in which T’s can do whatever they like while not rebelling. Entering vents/Armory is still considered rebelling. The Warden can restrict the freeday to a certain area upon calling the freeday.
If the round reaches 0:00, a CT must revoke the Freeday and play a game until !LR is called.
- Panda Freeday
A freeday in which all T’s must crouch at all times unless she is typing in chat,while freelooking, or if you must stand/run to get to a CT. A T may right-click a CT and would not be considered a rebel.
- Ninja Panda Freeday
Same thing as a Panda Freeday except you must be jumping at the same time.
- Zombie Freeday

Ts will be allowed to carry main weapons without repercussions. If a CT is found he can try to taze the T before they are killed. If they do taze the T, they may run and hide again. The day continues until A: All CTs are killed or B: 0:00 is reached and CTs win. If 0:00 is reached CTs and use a primary weapon and attempt to kill the Ts until Last Request is called.
T Hide Days – CTs are to remain in armory until 6:15. Ts may only use a knife as their “Taser”. CTs are expected to comply with rules and not pursue a T if they have been knifed. If they do, they can be slayed if asked for. CTs will only be allowed secondary weapons as Ts do not have the advantage of shooting a Taser over a distance. The day continues until Last Request is called.

Have you been Freekilled? Is a CT or T breaking rules?
Please type in team chat “@*person* is *teamkilling/freekilling/breaking a rule*.
This will notify admins.
Do not spam general or admin chat with it. If you feel like the admin is not responding you may try again after a minute. The staff may be trying to do something about it already.
@Hidingmaster @DrLee @Cristo I borrowed the template from @Chrono so thanks for that.
Tasers are not allowed on Last CT.
If Ts are trapped with no way of letting themselves out, must let them out and give them 20 seconds to run.
If a T is baited they may not knife the CT or they will be considered a Rebel.
Off topic about hub, @Chrono forum hub is set up with the ability to transfer forum -> tf2 (because it's set up), and you can buy forum options AND teamspeak tags. So I set up my end, when @Bleed sets up CSGO and CSS (which will be on the same database), forum can be integrated to fix that. As with the CS:S fiasco, my opinion is that we cut it down to 2 servers, 32 spots each, when those get populated we add another one, and continue, as if it starts to grow again, we can grow it again. right now it seems like csgo has bigger potential to grow so we need to add more resources into that.
With respect to the whole CS:S debacle, I think the best course of action is to go forward with the plan that I suggested during our meeting in TS. Operation CS:S Revitalization is given full support for a set period of time (I think Christmas/New Years was our cutoff point). Christmas/New Years should give us enough time to finish the renovations that are needed for CS:S and have some spare time to see whether or not those renovations actually make any significant changes to the population of CS:S. However, if CS:S fails to gain a significant increase in population from its current state (which we can all admit is essentially nothing), CS:S is either significantly reduced to 1 or 2 servers, or is removed entirely (which is unlikely considering that Silence seems quite reluctant to the total removal of CS:S) and our resources are refocused on getting CS:GO up and running. Additionally, Bleed should be done with his super sekrit project, so we should have several potential servers available at that time.
By that logic chrono, if we look at the data for all divisions then they should all be gone except for TF2. Saying that a division should go because it isnt as populated as it once was and yet not saying things like csgo aren't part of the mix that should be looked at is hypocritical.
Also, just because people are a vocal minority means little about who we should listen to. A community can grow and become better only with people like cookie. If you have a bunch of people that say little to nothing, you get no new ideas, no recommendations, no info on what's wrong.
Don't accuse me of being biased without having the proper background and knowledge about the events that occured. I am avaliable to address your concerns regarding situations, yet you never contact me about them. I have no issue saying I am unbiased. Every post, issue, etc I take with a grain of salt and understand that there are 2 sides to every story. Just because I voice uncommon opinions sometimes means nothing in regards to being biased. Also, being vocal in situations that I take great interest doesn't translate to being biased.
May post a message via xG SteamGroup advertising this concept if that's alright with the higher ups @Hidingmaster @diabeetus @DrLee @Gawd @ThePenguin . Would like to see how the CS:S community handles it, and to let those who are active players know that this sort of thing may end up happening in the near future
**IMPORTANT** Changing the guild to Tichondrius and it will be Alliance, sorry for not saying sooner. If you already made a new character on Darkspear Horde just delete it and change realms and make an Alliance character. It's costs no extra money.
