Here's my opinion. I've been playing with him for the past couple weeks and I don't think he's that bad of a guy. He uses that dry, punchy, satire-ish sense of humour that normally "triggers" people now-a-days. I mean look at that girl on youtube, Nicole Arbour?, who got attacked because her sense of humour. A few people hold grudges against him, and I have no clue why, as I skipped over half of this thread because it appeared to be bickering. However, I'd assume that it's because he's good at the game and it frustrates people, or the fact that he says "rekt" or whatever. Now, I wont name names, but I'd like to point out that at least half of you have done the same thing (whether it be retaliating, saying something rude after killing someone, or "triggering" someone because you're good at a game) and have little to no room to say that he should just hold his tongue in return. People have a habit now-a-days of not communicating their issues with people, but instead gathering up mountains of evidence to make the issue at hand seem worse. I thought everyone was going to make an effort to change that and actually try to communicate their issues before hand, rather than jumping aboard the ban train at a moments notice. ---------------------------------------- Now, here is what I have seen lately. I was on the pokemon server earlier this week, and I noticed something peculiar. ManlyDuck was on the server sniping, as well as talking to a few friends like a normal person would, when someone joined the server and started to attack him, without provocation. They said that he was a douchebag and a tryhard. The ironic thing is that ManlyDuck said nothing offensive back to them, nor had he said anything rude in the few hours earlier to that incident. If anything, he only said that he was bad and just playing the game. From my perspective, it appears that people are getting upset when he kills them (when numerous people have complained that we should literally have a rule that says if you complain, and don't use the friendly plugin, that you will get into trouble). --------------------------------------- As a final note, I'd like to point out a distinct lack of counter evidence. Obviously ManlyDuck isn't talking to himself. What are the other people saying to him that makes him respond like that? -------------------------------------- I vote -1 on the ban. I think that the higher ups should step back and think about this whole situation before we start jumping to conclusions.

That's more work for staff, and an even higher chance for mass freekill when staff aren't on. It's been banned for a reason. Not to mention that demoknights are practically useless on blue. Melee only vs 20 reds? You've seen melee warday and how that ends. -1

Hey everyone. For the last couple months, I've been contemplating my experiences in xG. I've come to the conclusion that I am not exactly happy with what is going on in the TF2 division and I no longer have the time or ability to worry about it anymore. Unfortunately, due to real life circumstances, I feel it is time that I step down to member. Most of you who know me personally will understand why. If you don't, I'll explain it. My Uncle was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma about 6 months ago and we have been searching around for bone marrow donors. Turns out, I'm a match. I'm going to fly out to him next week and donate my marrow. Concurrently, I have to figure out college and my career. I know I haven't exactly been myself during these past few months, and I apologize again if anyone was upset by it. Stress has a way of affecting people that isn't very pretty. However, before I step down, I want to thank some people: Rhodo and Kbraszzle: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to improve the TF2 division. I feel that I have been able to improve the overall quality of our servers. Hachi, Chicken, and Whyte: Even though we had a rough patch a couple months ago, thank you for being great friends. I miss all of the memes and laughter that we shared, and I wish you the best. Bello: Good luck with TF2, it's your baby now :) Rejects: It's up to you to hold the standards now. I believe you can do it, bud! :D TF2 Staff: I appreciate all of your hard work so far. We have made a difference, not just in our community, but in other communities as well. I'm glad I could call some of you my friends, and I hope you'll stick around! (y) CS:GO Staff: I wish you guys the best. I know that you lost a DL as well. I hope you'll keep the steady growth that you have accumulated over the past couple months. To everyone else: Have a great Friday and a fun weekend! IT'S SPRING TIME, WOOO. :LOL: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few final notes: If any of the staff need advice, feel free to contact me still. The same goes for you too, Bello and Rejects. @Rhododendron don't forget to demote me to member. You keep forgetting about other higher ups and they still have powers </3 Forest for coffee lord 2k16.

You guys change your minds so often. I mean we literally have half of the playpoints plugin disabled because it is either broken or unfair. Final verdict?

Your personal life matters because if you conduct yourself this way publicly and PRIVATELY, there is no way we could trust you.

So, there are a couple problems. The view looks weird and there are no hitting animations. It's only visible for the boss, so we'll have to deal with it for the time being.

You said that rules didn't matter on multiple occasions, you massed, and then you proceeded to berate multiple staff members and regulars on the server. BUT, not before fighting with me on steam and essentially telling me to fuck off and die. Great way to leave. Out of decency for you and others, I wont go into how you treated people in your personal life. Because trust me, I've witnessed some dismaying things. Finally, I want to point out that subtle entitled attitude you got going on there with your sly comment about unbanning someone else. ----------------------------------------------------------- Final verdict on my part: -1 You don't change that quickly and we already have enough people who start drama as it is.

+1 Regaining his activity on JB1 A: 6/10 M: 8.5/10

Not sure if rejects did it, but I'll take a look later today.

+1 Very active on Jailbreak. All around very mature guy. I've seen him in TS as well. A: 8/10 M: 7.5/10

It already was, but people got upset about that which caused the population to drop. I had to make it public again.

You'd need the source file, which isn't provided.

It's removed for now. (y) Edit: Like other people said, I really don't think it's a map issue because I don't crash either. It sounds like a driver, hardware, or OS issue as you said the population drops by 50%, not 100.

Consistently active on TGH. I'm not entirely sure about maturity, but I assume he's pretty mature as he has reported server issues in the past. +1 A: 8/10 M: 8/10 @Liekos @Fiery8022 Close and accept him, please.

If I recall, your play time is limited due to your mother's studying plan for the SAT/ACT. You may want to consider waiting until the Spring or Summer to apply.

You're not a member. You need to be a member for at least a month before you can even make a staff submission; however, I would like to point out that I do not promote people unless I have personally gotten to know them. Receiving a staff position requires time and effort on the part of the person receiving it. I like to judge peoples' character before I consider bestowing that responsibility to them.

I just want to make it clear as well, many changes were made to try and make it as fair as possible (due to plugins being removed and replaced). I think it's already balanced enough. For any future suggestions, please use the stickied "Bug Reports and Suggestions" thread in the tf2 discussion.

The demo shows him resized and killing Matsi, even when he is warned. I left this open for feedback from higher-ups. I guess no one has any so I'll close it.

+1 He's a great sport. Been playing with him for the past couple weeks and I realize it was a mistake to not vouch for him. Active on JB and the trade servers. A: 8/10 M: 8.5/10

Per the new membership guidelines, he has received his DM+ vouch and five vouches (even with the -1's, which don't take away from the score, according to Rhodo). Even with the -1's, he has still received 9 positive vouches. He will be accepted and given a chance at being member. [ATTACH=full]21294[/ATTACH] CONGRATULATIONS!

I'll review the demo shortly. If this is true, his powers will be removed. I already spoke to him (literally the day he got his powers) because he was killing people while being resized. Not only that, I linked him to the guidebook when he got his powers so that he would know the rules. Edit: Yeah, he knew what he was doing and chose to ignore you. Then he left the server after you confronted him. His powers will be removed for abuse. I'll leave this open for anyone else to add input, but I feel this is a cut and dried case. @TheBootyDestroyer

+1 He's changed. No longer feeds or acts on drama. Actually fun to have on the servers now. I can verify that I've played saxton with him at least 5 times in the last month. He's on every time I join. Not only that, he's active on the trade servers and Jailbreak. He helps populate them everyday. A: 9/10 M: 8/10
