    Owl got a reaction from Pepper in Sponsor Ideas For The Divisions   
    Silence and I (I believe mudkip and mince were there too but it wasn't that important) had a discussion earlier and there were some points I think should 100% go into play

    Paid staff positions:
    Silence really was pushing for this, at least for the CSGO division. Paid staff would be added on to the sponsor tier. Users would have the group "sponsor" in sourcebans and wear tags as xG:S.
    Their powers would be very minimal:

    Slay
    Kick
    Teamswap
    Mute
    Gag
    Exclusive items on hub
     
    Potential server-specific options:
     
    Free special days/rtds (jb)
    Extend map (servers that aren't jb, probably)
    Votes hold more weight (all servers if we wanna transition to UMC)
     
    Increased credit gain (all servers, not by much tho, maybe just up by 1/2 in distributor)
     
    Other stuff I can't think of for future servers



    After thinking over it for a while I don't mind it at all, I think it could be a good way to encourage more sponsors (we have 4 lol) while boosting server popularity with minimal risks.
    There is to be a notice somewhere that says all sponsors moderator powers will be removed if there is any cases of abuse/etc.
     
    I believe that the same sponsor rank should be added to other divisions.
    Possibly TF2 sponsors could get all the donator powers? Also integrating and replacing tf2's donator tiers and grandfathering them into Sponsorship could be a good idea to future proof everything, but I'll leave that to tf2/CLs. Using ideas similar to what I listed for CSGO, if possible, should happen.
    Minecraft already has a lot of systems in place to give major benefits to sponsors.
    No comment on gmod/nd as they aren't real divisions.
     
    Ease to purchase sponsor
    In its current state, sponsor is not very easy for new players/forum retards to actually purchase. Adding an option (or restricting it to this entirely) to purchase sponsor through the forum hub with credits would be dank as fuck, and seems super stupid to not have it in place already
    same for tf2 donator powers
     
    I also personally think that the sponsor tiers thing we have going on is unintuitive and should be minimized to just one option or reworked to something that would be simpler. This would benefit the option to purchase through credits. honestly I don't really have a solution on this one but I just am not a fan of the tiers. If anything just add all the tiers to the hub and keep it how it is, just with credits. idunno tho
     
    all of this is just speculation and not promised to happen, obviously

    MyCrush♥ hello, im Blair the kitty or ShaLEy :3 you can just call me shaLEy or blair though. private profiles are always suspisious ;) , i have my sensitivity at 2.0 with 800 DPI and my crosshair is My own , i have a reaction time of 0.04, do not add me unless you feel you will talk to me and take me in as your own, if you want to friend me tell me why in the comment section and do not friend me before reading my bio or else its an instant decline. to those who read this and friend me you will be pleased those of you who dont will not really be so happy, good luck , hope you make your choices wisely. im a shut-in for the most part, i dont have many friends but the ones i do i value with every single moment i can spend with them. i do not like being disturbed when im at work, unless i say its okay and i'd like to talk. I stay on my computer almost all the time, the times that i am offline i am most likely playing my piano, it is very rare for you to see me outside my house. I have the ability to do whatever i want, and so do you, dont let anyone take that away from you, even if it means giving up something you once loved, i was insipred by my one best friend to never give up hope and to only look to the furture, keep a good head on your shoulders. I was once told " you must sway yourself in your art, before you sway others". that is the quote i live off of, i have went through think and thin, hard and easy, cold and hot, but never have i experirenced affetion, for the first time i met somone who , in my opinion always knows what to say and i think cares about me as much as i care about them, a true friend is someone who will stick with you, through your toughest moments, and be there when you need them most. if your still reading this im impressed, but i will continue either way.

    Owl reacted to Aegean in The Legend Of Zelda - The Ocarina Of Time   
    Game Name:
    The Legend of Zelda - The Ocarina of Time
     
    Platform:
    Nintendo 64
     
    Time Spent:
    50~ Hours.
     
    Do you recommend?
    Yes 100%.
     
    What you rate the game: (1 to 10)
    9.8
     
    Initial Thoughts:
    I played this as a child and watched my brother play it when it first came out, and I was blown away by how different the game was compared to things I was used to at that time. (i.e. super mario brothers)
     
    The game is about a kid named Link (hidden in the Kokiri Forest and taken care of from the great Deku Tree) who has to save Hyrule from the antagonist Ganondorf; The king of the Gerudo Thieves.
     
    Pros:

    Music - an incredible soundtrack surrounds this game that really complements the unique locations throughout the world. Unique music for boss fights, dungeons, mobs, shops, and side characters. The music is iconic now and given respect throughout the Zelda series time to time with small iterations to make them stand out. Shout out to Gerudo Valley!
    Open World - For the most part, you can travel to everywhere you see as long as you have the necessary items. There is a ton of secrets and side missions you can do that is not forced upon you, and these places are not always near your main destinations so it really encourages you to explore and try to figure out the puzzles.
    Difficulty (Medium) - It's not a very hard game, but it's not something that is super linear that babysits you to progress forward like games nowadays. You will get stuck time to time, and you really need to listen to the clues throughout the world if you play through it the first time. The clues throughout the game are given very creatively and subtlety through the use of Navi (your fairy), unique objects, and important NPC's.

     
    Cons:

    Glitches - This is a double edged sword as this game is super bugged in terms of how much you can glitch this game but it also makes it one of the most watched games that get speedrun on Twitch. Ocarina of Time generally (a full run through, not 100%) would take you about 10ish hours normally to finish, but with the help of glitches (nothing third party) you can finish the game in under 20 minutes. Some glitches do potentially crash the game as well, but as long as you aren't aiming to do glitches the game runs fine.
    Combat (Easy) - Once you understand the mechanics of defending and how to deal the most damage via jump slashing, you can usually 1-2 cycle boss fights and dying pretty much becomes impossible.

     
    Final Thoughts:
     
    One of the childhood classics, a game most deemed as the greatest of all time.
     
    Definitely revolutionary for its era, and easily in my top 5 favorite games. It's single player, but the Zelda Titles (aside from the Four Swords) are meant to be single player games and they do it really well. This game lasts a good long time, minimum 10 hours game time before you finish a play through for the first time if you aren't familiar with the puzzles, but there is a ton of secrets and puzzles that easily add 5+ hours if you want to potentially 100% the game or get close to it.
     
    With Breath of the Wild coming out soon for the Nintendo Switch as the launch title, there is a lot of hope that this is the Zelda game that is worth the hype as the previous wii titles were not as well made as the previous titles (Majora's Mask + The Windwaker). Until the game comes out, we can only hold our breath and hope for the best.

    Owl reacted to Aegean in What Made You Join Xg   
    I'll give a brief history of my time with xG. One day I'll write a really long version of it.
     
    I got CS:S in 2010, and I decided to play on the community servers like my friend always did in high school where he surfed all the time. I had no understanding of how surf worked, so I roamed from Zombie Escape to Jailbreak servers. HG back then (dunno about now) made it so T's couldn't talk ever, so I joined xG where T's actually had time to talk.
     
    I met @Rabid @Rhododendron and a bunch of others who either left or got banned (shoutout to the 2010-2011 gang) and this was a server I would spend late nights on almost every single day. The server was always active late at night, and we played for so many hours non-stop. I must say, the community was so fun back then, and I got asked to be an admin level 2 when I signed up on the forums due to always messaging silence whenever rule breakers were on. I figure it was easier to just let me take care of the server since I spent so much time on the servers (back when we didn't have moderators and had 3 levels of admins instead). I was part of the reason @all chat wasn't enabled for lower level staff since I alongside other staff would use it for everything lol.
     
    Anyways things were going good, I got promoted to Division leader of CS:S at the time, and shortly after co-leader. We were in the process of integrating to CS:GO which is what brought the whole Cyanide Gaming swatting me. For context, we used a jailbreak map from gamebanana that was made from a Cyanide member, and as we were really popular, our servers were a hit compared to theirs. They asked me to take the map down as the map was for their server, and I told them I'm happy to take it down for them (As we had other maps in our rotation and their map wasn't dependent on our success.) Anyways, Silence + Starbuck (Co-leader and developer at the time) both agreed to not take it down as it is a public map, and there's nothing wrong with us taking it. They started threatening our members with threats of DDoS on teamspeak, and so I banned the user with the reason "Faggot". Big mistake.
     
    They called me on my cellphone, spoofed my mom's phone number and started threatening me, as they didn't believe that a co-leader wouldn't be able to remove a map (I didn't have any access to anything aside from forums, kinda similar to now but I have way more freedom and can get access to things I personally work on) so they gave me a time limit to swat me. I didn't know what swatting was back in 2012 (I was 17 at the time) so I just hung up on them. A little back and forth later, I eventually get police get called to my old location, and then they follow up to my mom's house, and then they call my dad's house and come to my dad's and ask me what's going on. Apparently these guys spoofed my number from Skype or a Google service and called my local police saying I have a hostage, made a gunshot noise and hung up on them.
     
    I left xG shortly after, returned for a bit under the alias Link before some conflict with the higherups at the time which led to my decision to leave and only rejoin recently after patching things up with Silence/Rhodo.
     
    I'm happy to be back as I've been with xG on and off since near its birth, and it's like my second home. I was always upset when I was gone to see xG going downhill from members not giving a shit but complaining with 0 resolutions, and with how good our staff are this time around, xG is only going to keep getting better and better.
     
    Random Tidbits:

    Rabid got banned so many times, and whenever he got unbanned I got blamed for it (despite being one of the few to never vouch for him in the past)
    We banned a pedophile
    A guy named Soiarn (aka soysauce) was awful
    I hate duplolas
    Arthman (ex minecraft div leader/french guy) got gangbanged in Minecraft PVP arena by Ruki, Rabid and myself, and claimed he never cheated. We eventually killed him after pinning him to a corner of a pond with 3 people just shooting him with arrows, and got his diamond armor with +5 enchants with 4-6 seperate enchants on each item.
    He had an Enderman farm built in the End (this was a day into the server, and he had built it with oscar with Creative mode)
    Klure used to be Hudson Jr.
