Maybe you can be a teacher for @Aegean

I obviously like scratch a lot.

YOU ALREADY KNOW WE ARE CHEATING ON THIS SERVER UNDETECTED CHEATS THOUGH

WHAT! Fancy skulls is a LIT game.

MC needs a new dl owl stepped down.

lol

Yeah I won't sign up for this it wouldn't be fair. I dominated the first torny (steam id:king of counterstrike) and took first, second and third place. And you know what man, that isn't very fair so I won't do that again.

Does towny have raiding of any sort?

Already gave you a reason (which you seem to have ignored). Disabling building in HG is not going to prevent delaying, its only going to change how people delay. You're only stripping PVP aspects from an already primitive minigame that is way out of season.

So, you want to remove a key aspect of minecraft pvp because you are worried about delays? No matter what, if someone wants to delay they're going to delay. They will hide in an obscure spot and delay, building or no building it will happen. A death match or teleport after X amount of time solves this issue. Anyone who just camps would obviously not be as geared as someone who is actively killing players and claiming all the loots. So camping would not be the key to victory. HG is literally a game where there is bound to be avoiding. Teleporting is really the only way to solve it as far as I know. Skywars way of solving this is always having a middle point or key point to be. After X amount of time, the map crumbles until the inner part is only left which essentially forces campers out. 100% of the time those campers will be under geared and get destroyed. Another way to solve camping is restocking the certain chests with higher tiered gear after X amount of time. This another way skywars solves campers and rewards people pvping.

Not only will that be abused, what is even the point of having it? Are you using a custom made map? Do you have custom classes for hg (or even classes in general)? Are the chests still filled with wood gear and very limited armor outside of wood (such as gold and iron, which whoever got that would mammoth everyone)? The state of HG when I played during the event was pretty bad. You couldn't break blocks and all the chests had really bad gear and occasionally gear that absolutely wrecks the common gear (as apposed to today's standards where servers avoid that). This was the kind of HG that was popular 4-5 years ago. Let's look at the time now.

There are plugins that allow skyblock plots where you can invite others to build on it. Any minigame that requires player count should not be immediately implemented. An exception would be parkour or a pvp arena.

Steam id: king of counterstrike

Me and Owl already looked into minigames and servers that have minigames. Would not recommend having minigames for more than an event (especially hg/sg as it is not as popular compared to newer gamemodes). The biggest issue is population. Low population can create boring and slow gameplay that minigames is not meant to have. Not only that, you need enough players that are willing to play the same gamemode. If we look at the recent hunger games event xG held, with 10-20 players, anyone who died early found themselves sitting in a waiting room for 5 to 10+ minutes. That is not very fun at all considering you don't have anything meaningful to do in game during the hang time. The large minigame servers have a big enough population to allow players to get into a new game within seconds. There's a reason there is only two big minigame servers. Other than that you have to worry about the following: Plugin configuration and compatibility. Lack of uniqueness from out-of-the-box gamemode plugins. Anti-cheat Teaming in solo gamemodes (and all of the loopholing people will pull). Incentive to play on the server (this applies to every type of server, but some more so than others). Factions/Townie would be the way to go with the current foundation. However, the gamemode chosen should be the sole focus until the server is operational.

No need to antagonize me for pointing out facts. I would love to manage TTT if I did not have classes, managing a TTT server is time consuming but I am sure someone with less commitment can easily manage the server. People have mentioned they are willing to be staff on the TTT server, there just needs one to be up before that happens. I'm sure @Aegean who's goal is to improve every division in xG and the clan in general is willing to put together a gmod staff team.

Anyone can be impeached. Bill Clinton was impeached.

Stay strong to not listen to the propagander by the hillery administration! THEY WILL ATTEMPT TO IMPEACH THE DONALD AND REMOVE HIM FROM THE OVAL OFFICEE!!!!! #MAGA STICK TOGETHER THE TUMBLRINAS ARE IN NUMBERS AND ARE USING BIG WORDS FROM THE DICTIONARY!!!!

TRUMP WINS. WE ARE MOVING FORWARD TOWARDS BETTER BORDARS, MAKING AMERICA GREAT AGAIN AND A MUSLIM FREE COUNTRY!!! NOW MY FELLOW CENTPEDES, BATHE IN THE TEERS OF THE SHILL DOGS!!!! Please contact local republecan represenitives in order to find locations of crying shill dogs. Online sourcies: #notmypresedent hashtag on Twitter https://twitter.com/search?q="Donald Trump"&src=tren MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and fuckk all the women that are brown labaling us white people as racists, misoginists like wtf? smh lol #trump

Well, I want Hillary to win so we can fight a sock puppet war with Russia using all of the Europeans. Hate to break it to our friendly Europeans, but, you are just America's sock puppet. <--------Europe We'll fight a proxy war with our fellow European puppets with Russia. I cannot disclose how this will actually go down as the American propaganda is actually very privatized and there is a mutual agreement by every citizen to no release vital information regarding this matter. In the event Trump wins, Russia and the United States will collaborate to use our European sock puppets for our mutual benefit (PROFIT). <--------Europe Trump will move American businesses from Mexico to Europe. This will remove jobs from Mexico, making it even harder to make money there while having the new formed wall to prevent them from coming in. Not only that, but we will enslave Europe with low pay in our factories, essentially Trump and Russia will buy out European companies and replace them with American. This will weaken a formidable EUROPA. Honestly, our fellow European sock puppets can't do much at this point except watch. At least with Trump this will ensure you guys are not viciously slaughtered in war.

Ahh. Both divisions have been pretty distant from xG's community regardless. The server is just filled with bots. Seems to be only 3 legitimate players.

Honestly I rewrote this response a few times because there are so many reasons as to why the Gmod division seems reclusive. If we look at previous Gmod divisions, such as Charrax's revision (the most popular), they had the crutch of a populated CS:S division. Members from CS:S played on Gmod which kept it populated and encouraged new players to get involved on the forums. Even the staff then were encouraging of using the forums. The current Gmod division is fairly inactive and ran by Stickz who also runs ND. From as far as I can recall the ND division has never been too active on the forums either. I don't even remember if they were ever popular either (I think they were a few years ago). These two divisions have three things in common: Inactive servers Reclusive members Stickz Now, I don't want to point fingers at Stickz but he has been pretty adult about subjects regarding his division in the past and on prior threads. Maybe someone on steam can get @Stickz to give an official op to date response regarding all of this. It can be a number of things but none of us really play ND or on the morbus server enough to know solid reasons. All we can really do is speculate. However, it is very obvious morbus has fallen out of popularity. It use to be a very popular gamemode when youtubers jumped on the morbus train but that is long gone. I checked the server listing today and there were 11 servers running morbus, none of which had players on it. Maybe it is time to move on from morbus? Finally satisfy xG members from other divisions who enjoy playing TTT? Get a new division leader for Gmod? This seems like a discussion higher ups such as @Aegean should join in on. Not going to lie, when I was working on the minecraft division it was very time consuming while being boring. I lost interest and I would not be surprised if @Owl is pretty burnt out by now. There was so much time spent in setting up plugins while finding work arounds for any conflicting plugins. People suggested I make plugins (as the original reason I took up minecraft) but it takes such a long time and we did not even have a functional server running. Most plugins we had on the server have actually been developed for years by separate developers while being out of production stages for years.

No point in posting it in the gmod section as no one looks there. For the sake of exposure it should just be in general so more people who casually browse active sections of the forum can weigh in their ideas and opinions.

I played morbus a few months ago and the population was fairly low (<15). xG is one of the few communities currently using that gamemode (might be the only lol). However, the non-legacy server list that shows gamemodes drowns out dead gamemodes such as morbus. Which means new player traffic xG's gmod server will get is near nil. The gamemode itself is kind of a shit show and not that fun (hence why the server is empty and no one else is running the gamemode). The morbus server should honestly get scratched for TTT or even DarkRP. Both are fun and popular gamemodes that will get way more new player traffic. Personally, I think TTT should get added as there are a lot of niche ways to get population on your server. Not only that but you don't have to invest time the same way you do as DarkRP. Lastly, TTT does not require many players to be on the server to start populating it compared to DarkRP (where few players means boring gameplay). If @Stickz or anyone else decides to revamp the GMOD community I think there should be a 24/7 TTT server and a small DarkRP server for community nights. At the very least a TTT server over morbus.

LOL
