+1 Sure, why not.

xG is too easy to get into not because of the rules, but because of several hundred people +1'ing apps without giving valid reasoning or just because they want to get their post count up. If members actually took the time to watch one applicant for say, a few days, then give their input, you would notice a lot less people being accepted. Another reason is the applicant's friends bombarding with +1s. Raising the amount of vouches required won't fix this problem, it'll just take more time for people to inevitably get accepted. Now, pertaining to the thread. As McNeo stated, this is up for debate in the Admin group and it is currently being worked with. When a solution has come up where everyone can agree, it will be announced on forums. - Dat guy, Forest

Ban list for offending player: Xeno Gamers So it would seem the "past" owner was somewhat of a rule breaker. You were CT banned in July of 2012, with multiple and consecutive counts of freekilling as well as general rule breaking. Unfortunately, the mod/admin who dealt the permanent ban is now gone (If I remember correctly, abused his powers by slaying everyone then was banned?) so we can't hear their take on this whole thing. It has now been half a year since any of the offenses, and I personally believe this guy deserves a second chance (Previous owner or not). However; be aware that if you Are unbanned, you will be kept under close watch. If you somehow manage to get yourself perm'd again, you will Not be given another chance, this includes a CT ban as well as a Server ban. You have been warned mate - Dat guy, Forest

You have a total of 11 +1s and 7 -1s. I'll leave this thread open for any other speculation from other members for a few more days. Hopefully you will have acquired a few more +1s so that I may determine whether or not you qualify to be an xG member! Good luck mate

So it has come to my attention that as days pass without the "Warden" plugin, a lot of confusion and frustration has been going around lately. Arguments on who called it first and on who literally called it by giving orders is another problem. I'm posting this thread with the hope that we can have a temporary fix (Until the plugin is re-implemented or rather IF it is). Now back when we Didn't have this plugin, Warden was called Vocally in phrases such as the following: "I Call Warden" "I'll be your warden for today" "I'm Warden" Etc. Now I may not be like you fancy city folk with your fancy plugins and such, but I reckon we go back to them olden days. What I mean by this, is simply the following: The round begins with a CT calling Warden, if there is any confusion (Multiple CTs calling it), any current Moderator/Administrator will deem who called it first, and the day will continue on. If the Warden wishes to pass it, it will be Vocally passed as such "I pass my Warden onto [insert Name]". Now, "Warden" may Only be passed to someone who has a mic, otherwise it remains with the current CT who is Warden. The predecessor Must give at least One order before they are permitted to pass it on to someone else, however; it may Not be passed back to the previous CT who had "Warden" if they do not wish to have it. (This is to prevent a situation of "Hot Potato" with "Warden") These are just my thoughts on the matter, what do you guys think? +1 to abide by these hopefully Temporary rules, or to just keep going as it is?

I guess i'm going to have to be the one. I'm going to have to -1 this request. The intention was there, be it for shits and giggles or not. I Really don't want to seem like a total asshole, but I don't know if I can make any exceptions, even though Papi is a great guy. This is in no way an act of hostility toward Papi, and should not be treated as such. If you really wanted to know what it felt like to mass free kill, why take it to the xG Jailbreak server? Why the server where you moderated for two years? There are many other servers in which you could have chosen to do so. The only viable reason I see that you did it here was that you believed you would be let off easily, and again, this is in no way supposed to be treated as hostility, i'm just assuming, so correct me if i'm wrong. I'm sorry, but I can't condone actions like this with the reasoning provided here, it's just not something that should be let off easily. Even with someone of your stature Papi. - Dat guy, Forest EDIT: After thinking about it and reading what everyone else has had to say, i've decided to stay at a 0. I won't deny in agreeing that people have been unbanned before for things like this, people who were frequenters and such and honestly; it wouldn't be fair to be giving them a second chance and not giving Papi one. plus he's pretty cute.

I completely disagree with the removal of this rule for many reasons. First of all, as Loller has stated, it really depends on the scenario or the context of the order itself. It is one of those rules where Legally it is right, however it is Ethnically wrong to send that CT to their death. Now, in some cases people will deem it Unjust to send a CT to an area with rebels in it. If this were the case, nothing would be achieved until either that T comes out and continues to rebel, or receives a pardon. What if that T continues to decline that pardon? Also be aware that a T can camp that area unless it is deemed a cheap spot or is a vent, making the whole round delay even further. What if it is already 0:00? Not only is this delaying the round, but it's causing too many problems. This is why the Warden is entitled to command the CTs. The warden him/herself should Not have to search for rebels. I cannot even agree with Chrono's suggestion (as diabeetus said), because something like that could also delay the round even further. All in all, this is something that really can't be solved without making it even worse then it already is. LollerSkater did not do anything wrong, however I wouldn't have instigated a threat with a slay for something like this. Now i'm not sure if what Warriors said is exactly quoted from Loller, but a simple reminder that it is a slayable offense would suffice. In this sort of situation, I would have offered a pardon for the rebel in order to keep the round from delaying any further. If they decline the pardon, then I would have sent both CTs in after them. I myself would go with them, however a CT should be with the non-rebelling T at all times. In conclusion, what LollerSkater did was justified and does not require some sort of talking-to. I would merely suggest that Loller be more lenient at times like this to prevent any further delay of the round before resorting to what he did. -1 for the removal of the rule, as well as for the implementation of a 'clause' - Dat guy, Forest

Just as the title dictates, it is with Great pleasure that I am one of the first to introduce an Official map for XenoGamers, created and led by both @@snakeboyeric and @@Gkoo with the help of @@Hidingmaster, @@Digitalhax and @Sham With the release of this map, it is with great hope that XenoGamers will receive further recognition by several other gaming communities and that it will hopefully lead to new players joining our servers and possibly our community. With the addition of an official map, this marks one of many milestones to come that XenoGamers will have surpassed. And Now, Ladies and Gentlemen... Without further ado... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYcOXMt3xA8&feature=youtu.be I give you, XenoGamers one (and so far only) Official Map!!! Let's crack open this bad boy and see what our great map designers have included into this wonderful creation of beauty! Let's begin this tour with a look at Main Cell Block shall we? [ATTACH]4460.vB[/ATTACH] Absolutely breath taking. The addition of a fountain just gives it that Classy feel, doesn't it? How about we get a different angle on Main Cells? [ATTACH]4461.vB[/ATTACH] Ooh baby, I don't know about you but there's something about that XenoGamers sign just above main cells that just really rustles my jimmies in the best way possible... *Ahem* Carrying on, allow me to take you to the next section of the map; something that is a part of almost every classic Jailbreak map! The Soccerfield [ATTACH]4462.vB[/ATTACH] Now, here we have your standard soccer field, with just enough lighting to really give it that Stadium-like feeling. It is hard to read, but in the far right corner you'll notice a confined room. This is none other then the BlackOut Soccer room. On with the tour! Next up, our map designers have included a map game that certainly deserves more attention then it currently receives. You'll really get lost in this one.. The Maze! [ATTACH]4463.vB[/ATTACH] Honestly one of my personal favorite map games easily. This next section will really make you wish you weren't so damn fat, and that maybe you should have done a few more laps on jb_newsummerbeta! The Death Race/Run [ATTACH]4464.vB[/ATTACH] For this race, remember; Don't look back, and sure as hell to make sure to call that CT's bluff! Almost there guys, just bare with me. I know, I know, this map is fucking awesome, but you really need to calm down and take a breather, after all, how else will you be able to hold your breath in our very own Pool! [ATTACH]4475.vB[/ATTACH] The majesty... The grace... That heavenly light, bathing the crystal clear water.. Absolutely divine! Now, this picture doesn't show it, but rest assured, you'll be greeted with a nice surprise once you make your way to the deep end of the pool! And last but certainly not least, you'll want to have done a few stretches for them ham strings, because you'll be testing your jumping limits in... Bhop/Long Jump! [ATTACH]4476.vB[/ATTACH] What more could a bhopping obsessed T want? This room combines the elements of Bhopping as well as your capability to jump long distances! Also included in this area (In the faaaaar back) is a Jump Rope for even more healthy exercise! Just what every T needs! Well guys, that pretty much sums up this totally bad ass map. It will be released February 1st in honor of the fact that it is Version 1! Wait... February 1st? HOLY SHIT, THAT'S TOMORROW!!! Get pumped guys, get hyped, get Psyched! Our map designers hope that you enjoy this map as much as it enjoyed them to create it! Have a good one!

Pretty active player from what i've seen. The maturity level is where it should be, however; the knowledge of the motd rules could be brushed up on a bit further if you plan on actively being a CT A: 7/10 M: 6/10 D: +1 Good luck in getting the remaining 1-Ups!

[ATTACH]4385.vB[/ATTACH] How many Squares are there in total? You won't win anything, I'm just curious to know how many you people can find. I can only find a total number of 36 squares. Post any other pictures that require thought in this thread too, see if you can outdo mine.

We actually had one before. It was Like/Dislike if I remember correctly. I believe it was removed due to a couple occasions where it was abused in a sense that a couple people were Liking/Disliking almost every post of some members, and it greatly bothered them.. I'm not entirely sure..

I'm not saying I don't agree with you, because I completely agree in saying that any mod/admin who tries to avoid the penalty is abusing their rank. Any mod or admin who has broken the server rules should in fact deal with the punishment rather then avoiding and trying to sidestep it by pulling the "I'm higher ranked so I can make an exception". In all honesty, any Moderator or Administrator who tries their hardest to avoid the penalty even when they're in the wrong isn't mature enough to just deal with it. However; this thread is only pertaining to people posting in the wrong sections and the consequences of such. I'm posting this thread because these threads/posts that are targeting mods/admins are being placed in the wrong sections and because of that; mods/admins are being let off easy due to lack of evidence pertaining to the problem at hand.

NO. You can't. Be more active. I won't allow it. Gtfo you cankerous whore. ... Hey man... Remember way back when I called you a cankerous whore, I didn't mean it man. Come back </3

Before you start calling people out on things, I will remind you that we literally do not have any requirements on being a Paid Moderator/Administrator. All that is required of the individual is the cash up front from what I've seen. Given that information, it is fairly common to have Paid Moderators/Paid Administrators who are hazy on the motd rules for their respective divisions. Therefore, is it not possible, even in the Slightest bit, that in this particular case, he had forgotten the Guncheck Freeze rule and needed to be reminded? I'm not saying it's 100%, I'm merely saying there may be a remote chance that he had.

STEAM_0:1:9108717 Shit sooooon! Congratz to everyone whom was promoted!

But, but, I have a Haard-on for you Haa-dron. Atleast now you'll be able to focus on the having fun part mang! You better still play Jail Break every now and then though. I barely see you enough as it is </3

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DmYLrxR0Y8 Everyone hug it out. Squeeze that hate out of your Souls. SQUEEZE. Also, pertaining to this thread, it seems like a lot of hate over such trivial things. What would you have us do? Demote him for "freekilling" someone over something like this? It's not like he straight up head shot a T and then proceeded to slay himself. He had valid reasoning to do so, and it's quite apparent that anyone who further said anything in chat after that order was given, was trying to be a smart ass when it's obvious what Nova meant in saying "next person to type a sentence dies". If a CT instructs a T to drop a gun, you wouldn't expect that same T to pick it back up almost right after he dropped it, right? (Metaphorically speaking) Common sense tells that T that if he/she picks it back up, they get a bullet to the noggin'. Therefore, common sense tells you that you shouldn't say anything in chat because it may or may not end with your untimely demise. - Dat guy, Forest

"Tarping" is a general action that involves many different situations. It all depends on the context of the "Tarp" itself. First off, any order that contradicts another order is considered a Tarp. An example of such would be Restricting Jumping and then proceeding to tell all Terrorists to participate in B-hop, or even play a game of First/Last Reaction. Another action that invokes a Tarp, is an Invalid order. An example of this would be a CT who is NOT warden, giving an order for Ts to relocate to another area. You can tarp to your heart's content after 5:00 (On CS:S, not sure for CS:GO) although I would refrain from doing so because it almost always ends up with free killing and confusion among both the Terrorists and Counter Terrorists. Now, pertaining to the thread itself. A Gun Check Freeze UNLESS SPECIFIED, implies that you are to look Away from cells and afk freeze. Honestly, with something like this, it's difficult to find out whether the intention to tarp was there, or if it was a real question. Although I will agree, that as a CT you should Not ask a question that may or may not confuse the Ts in All chat or over the Mic. This is what Team Chat is for. - Dat guy, Forest
