Yo

Hey all, lately I've had an addiction for videos that are Tool Assisted, meaning things are done that would otherwise be impossible to perform in the actual game. Namely, the ones that I have been viewing most are Super Smash vids (which are epic as fuck by the way). Share any TAS videos that you thought were awesome or just plain entertaining. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kw89W89KGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SN4F58oZdA

That video gave me cancer. Tree cancer.

You're all a bunch of swell people. Although I wish everyone would drop a touchy subject more often, rather than carry it on or exacerbate it :coffee:

Ads have been running for a bit, gives xG a little bit of pocket money on top of donations :coffee:

CS:S Jailbreak is still up, it just has been severely underpopulated. I could go as far as to say its "dead". Just requires dedication to keep it up and running, but things aren't looking too bleak.

Game: Halo 3 Gamemode: Matchmaking Class: N/A Quote(s): "Wtf! How do I zoom in with the assault rifle?" No joke. Made my friend try it (typical CoD player) and he had never played Halo before. I don't think I'd ever been so ashamed of a friend in my life.

[uSERGROUP=23]@Community Leader[/uSERGROUP] :coffee:

Fite me

Quick question, does this apply to people like towelie or rpx? Otherwise I have good relations with all of the sexy people affiliated with xG (from my perspective at least) ;)

@Kittylicious , as rude as this may come off (genuine honesty), don't be a kiss ass. You and I both know that post regarding "who is talking the most sense" is irrelevant and should not have been made here. This is neither the time, nor place. I realize you want to defend yourself, but pointing out the opinions of those for you doesn't help your case, but merely digs yourself a deeper hole. For those of you who are lashing out against the "injustice" that Kitty did in that thread, you are so blinded by your preconception that Kitty deserves it that you won't even give a second thought to that particular thread. It seems that a large majority are mistaking what I said, and so I'll further clarify. My first post within this thread pertains to, and only to, the words of Moosty; that of which resulted in an all out war within that thread. In no way am I saying that Kitty hasn't been insulting or disrespectful prior to the thread, but I am merely saying that those of you who are using it as a means of evidence are doing so wrongly. Moosty instigated. Kitty retaliated. Moosty continued. Kitty continued. End of story, a vicious cycle that runs rampant within our clan. Moosty could have simply said "I disagree with your idea because of (reasons)", that's all, and avert the whole crisis. But no, he instead provoked her by calling her salty, calling out on something that is irrelevant to those who are merely suggesting ideas (not being a Member), and in the end, lighting the fuse of a heated argument. Again; to clarify further to those who don't seem to get it: In this one instance, in this one thread, Moosty instigated and it resulted in hurtful words from both sides. That does not excuse either behaviour, nor does that make that thread a credible source of proof for either side, although in terms of instigation it leans further toward Moosty. To clarify even further than that, Kitty stepped over the line as well, but it was completely provoked. This next part I'm going to bold as it seems to be the main thing that many are misunderstanding: That thread =/= any sort of evidence that favours either side, and should not be used as evidence here in this thread. Stop bringing it up as if it were. Just because Kitty has a record of bad behaviour does not mean she does not deserve just one measly thread with an opinion that should be shot down immediately in a way that can be seen as hostile. Any other evidence, have at it, feel free to use it as you please, but for the love of god, stop referring to that gong show of a thread.

As requested by @Moosty . Before I elaborate, just know that this is in no way to be taken personally. What may not look like an instigation to some, is to others. This was an unwarranted aggressive reply to a perfectly legitimate proposal to prevent spam (albeit for a particular set of words/keystrokes). I'm hoping that after the amount of time from posting, you'll realize how this can result in someone replying in a negative way, and ultimately resulting in a flame war from both ends. While I can understand why you would get upset, in no way should you have reacted the way you did when kitty chose to defend herself (and likewise with what kitty said later). Again; both parties are at fault here, not picking any favourable sides but merely pointing out an act of instigation.

Sort of like the "Kids react to [name]" or "Seniors react to [name]" series on YouTube?

+/- 0. Why? I'll start with the following: 1.1 - Anyone using the most recent thread as a means of opinion is incredibly biased. After looking over the first page, it is apparent that Moosty instigated the whole damn thing with what he said, hence I deleted it. Should I have to, I can quote the moment he stepped too far in his ways. God forbid we ever get a thread that doesn't end up in a shit storm. The problem isn't the person, the problem is the way our Members react and reply to threads. I see so many acts of hostility on these things that it makes me shake my head. As a reminder, if you're going to instigate and cause a flame war with someone, you should damn well expect them to retaliate to it. No one's made of steel. 1.2 - And to those of you who think I'm siding with Kitty, I'm not. After a quick look at most of her posts, it is apparent that she is the type of person who takes great pride in what she says, does, and whatever position she is currently in. This behaviour results in a "I'm better than you" perspective, and I can see why those of you get upset over it. However, with that said, there wasn't an instance of this behaviour on that thread before the instigation. Again, proof of this can be provided should it be requested. 1.3 - I will also agree that the attitude toward TF2 as well as the TF2 Division needs to stop. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but when someone is spouting off against something day in/day out it starts to become a problem, especially when part of it applies to one of our very own Divisions. While this is certainly a problem, I don't see it as a bannable offense so much as it is something to be warned of. For those of you who are angered with all of the warnings, keep in mind that these are in regards to different offenses, and therefore do not stack on each other. A quick example would be banning someone for freekilling because they broke a different rule that doesn't involve freekilling. While drastic, it is still a proper example and should obviously not happen. 1.4 - Finally, you're right, I have no idea why I still have powers. But as I said in that thread, I'll be damned if I let this stupid behaviour continue. Any other Staff could have stepped in, but it is obvious that they were busy or MIA, therefore I took it upon myself to stop all of the bullshit going on in there, so sue me. Maybe I'll finally have my powers taken away for doing something that should have been done, am I right? Those of you who are basing your judgement from that thread alone need to check yourself, just saying. All I see are Members who are trying their hardest to use broken evidence (those using the previous thread as a basis for their vouch mind you) to boot someone, much like when a Member nitpicks about a Staff Member because they simply do not like them. I would also like to point out that just because someone is well known and popular, that doesn't mean they should automatically be in the right. This is in regards to mentions of Moosty being a "level-headed person". Hell, if I say something out of line or do something out of line, call me out on it. I know @Chrono does in a heart beat because he does what's right, and more often than not, he's right. Even here where Moosty thinks I did wrong in acting on a potential hazardous situation, which I am not saying was wrong. He is right, I shouldn't interfere with the affairs of another Division, let alone at all as I am just a Member, but I have my reasons for doing so which I have mentioned above (Point 1.4). I won't have a TL;DR for this post as it is all honest opinion as well as reasoning, sorry folks. Those who care enough will give it a read. - Dat guy, Forest

Just to recap, the following are posts by Stickz that suggest the use of a plugin to deter chat spam. Seeing as this thread is going to hell with all of the instigating and flaming, I thought it would be easier to have this easily accessible as well as to close it to prevent further deterioration. Below are the posts that Stickz made: Request for a new chat rule regarding keybind usage. Request for a new chat rule regarding keybind usage. If anyone has reason to re-open, go right ahead, I'm just doing this because no one else has intervened or taken control in something that calls for it.

Alright, closing this if one more person says something irrelevant to the thread. Don't care if it isn't under my jurisdiction, I'll be damned before I let this behaviour (from both parties, those instigating and those shit posting) continue. Last warning.

@Moosty Don't be acting like you're no better. As with everyone else, I'm tired of the amount of instigation and flaming going on around here. If you're going to insult someone, you damn well better expect them to retaliate in some way. If you're providing evidence that is based off of something that was provoked, that is some biased evidence you are providing. @Kittylicious stop pushing it further. This is becoming a damn daycare. Once again, +1 to what Stickz provided (see above as well as his previous suggestion on page 2)

Deleted a whole lot of bullshit from this thread, Higher Ups can determine whether or not it was necessary, but for the love of god, all of you take a chill pill. I will continue deleting shit if you can't play nice. It is a valid proposal and shouldn't be taken so damn aggressively. I am for @Stickz suggestion of a plugin to be perfectly honest, seems like a great idea For once, try your (in general) hardest to keep the thread on topic.

That one group of trees.

Instead of proposing a rule that targets specific usage, I suggest proposing one that involves an additional general rule of spam that will apply to all Servers. For example: "Do not spam in chat. Any [same] messages that are used consecutively three or more times is considered spam. Alternatively, any [same] messages that are spammed within 5(?) seconds of each use is also considered spam." This is a more realistic rule that more people can agree on.
