Instead of hating on a game that works extremely well for reducing number of Ts, how about throwing out some ideas for more MoTD games? God knows I've tried (go look in CS:S Discussion, you'll find a few). -1 for removing it because it's the responsibility of the Warden to get down to the Last T with minimum casualties, and this game does the trick. Although, I would love to see more spontaneous behaviour with Wardens (it's almost always the same for each Warden). Use yo' imaginations.

#RemoveFRLR2013 Really though, It's just one of those things that makes the world go round, just like FRLR (sadly). N'ah mean. A lot of players enjoy bombs, and as mentioned above by others, the prices are fair so you won't get large bombers each round.

Keep thread on topic. Any posts after this that either; A. don't pertain to the thread, B. are irrelevant, C. are being posted for the sole purpose of causing confusion for others or are just general comments will be deleted. Thread's messy enough already with people posting not needed comments (not everyone). I appreciate the input from others, but this is simply temporary until the CS:GO Servers are back up. Any other questions regarding the CS:GO Division can be directed to either myself, Chrono, or Rhododendron via Forum PM/TeamSpeak/Steam. Thanks guys

Title is self explanatory (almost). There will be an upcoming XenoGamers Lottery, and for this special occassion, I am requesting that anyone with artistic talent provide a "Word Art" or picture to present it. For those who are unaware, this event provides donations to XenoGamers as well as to the select few who join in! There is a cash prize of 100$ to the winner, and this time, the 2nd and 3rd drawings will receive a special Custom title of their choosing (must be appropriate). How this all applies to this thread is simple. Anyone who can provide the best picture/drawing to present the XenoGamers Lottery will receive a free submission of two entries to the next XenoGamers Lottery (coming soon), meaning you will not have to donate to get it on the action! Pick up those pencils, pens, styluses, or whatever and start working! - Dat guy, Forest

This thread is to address the current problem facing our Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Division. As many of our Members and Staff Members are aware, the Servers are temporarily unavailable until a new Division Leader can be promoted. Due to this setback, a lot of our CS:GO Staff has been left with powers and no where to go. This is where a temporary solution has been suggested. During this time, Staff Members of the CS:GO Division are eligible to have their powers swapped over to our Team Fortress 2 Division. Not only will this give our CS:GO Staff a temporary "home" but will also give the TF2 Servers some more "crowd control" as is currently needed with the abundance of players and rule breakers. If you are interested in this happening (CS:GO Staff only) then post below stating that you are interested (and make sure to spam tag @@MuffinMonster and @@HanYolo ) and you will be on your way to Moderating once again! - Dat guy, Forest

Changing my +/-0 to a +1. Judging by the amount of times I have seen Rainbow on as well as the percentage activity given on our rank.xenogamers.com page, activity is where it should be. I won't deny that Rainbow has a caring attitude, however, he needs to learn to be more level headed and collective when taking criticism. A: 8/10 - Judging by the percentage given by our Ranks page (100%) as well as seeing this player on whenever I'm on (CS:S Jailbreak), activity is where it should be. M: 6/10 - Player is lacking in this area in that he will reply with an over-the-top reply or disrespect towards the individual who is harassing/disrespecting. There is nothing wrong with defending oneself, but there is also no need to end up stooping down to their level and escalating the situation further. Maturity could use improvement. D: +1, although I would like a few things to change @@SonicRainbow . 1. Don't make rash decisions based on your current mood or situation (this includes leaving the clan) there's no reason you can't just say you will be going inactive. 2. If you are being harassed or disrespected, let a Higher-Up know and they will deal with the situation. There is no need to further escalate it by (as mentioned earlier) stooping to the individual's level by insulting them. Remember, you're on the internet. There are a lot of people who want to see the world burn and like to get off on other people's frustration and anger. Don't let it get to you. - Dat guy, Forest

Everyone has their preferences. I for one can't stand rap and country. I don't have a substantial reasoning for it, I just don't like the way either sound. Keep in mind though that there are varying types of metal, not all of it is screamo. Also, since I'm posting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hDs6mCVAKs

Paying Canadian Customs? Help me my Canadian friends!
Forest replied to snakeboyeric's topic in General
Most of the time you have it covered when you pay for it (normally adds up to the subtotal), but on rare occasions your friend may have to pay. It's nothing substantial, most of the time it ranges from 10~20$ (I think?). This has only happened to me once when I received a package from a friend in the US (Texas) where I had to pay 15$. I believe it was from "UPS". Every other item I have had delivered here via out of Country only required a signature and sometimes they just leave it at the front door (normally happens with "Fed Ex" deliveries). -

Because this right here is exactly why Members/Players can mass freekill intentionally and expect to be unbanned. Because of this "unfair" factor. It's maddening; the amount of Players/Members who have been using that excuse to bend a Higher-Up's judgement, and the fact that it actually works. Your proposal of "setting it in stone" was already set by myself on multiple occasions, yet for reasons unknown, Players/Members are still slipping through the cracks because of rash and blind +1s from our Members/Players. Here are the most recent Ban Protests I have replied to if you really need to see the "set in stone" in action: (Source: whitestar - Counter-Strike: Source) (Source: Morgan_Freeman - Counter-Strike: Source) What no one seems to get or realize, is that if you people keep living in the past by saying "This guy got off scot-free, why shouldn't this guy" then we aren't going to get anywhere and we might as well remove permanent bans. I don't know how many times I've had to bring up the fact that these are two entirely different situations, and therefore cannot be compared but here I go again: 1. This was an intentional mass freekill, it was done with the intention of breaking rules, and Lapis was completely aware of his actions. It was in no way, accidental. 2. Warrior, on the other hand, did something as he thought it was the right thing to do. He did it with the intention of Enforcing rules which could have been done in a different way, but the intention was to "maintain the peace". He was in no-way smiting everyone because he wanted to nor did he do it with the intention of trolling/screwing everything up. It just so happens that what he did was a terrible idea, but whether or not it was stupid, it is not the same thing. I don't mean to muck up this thread with this, but seriously; you people gotta draw the line and stop coming up with excuses to allow someone to get unbanned. As much as I love Lapis, he intentionally broke the rules for the sole purpose of doing it, he knew what his actions would warrant, and therefore he should be punished accordingly. Just because someone else is 1-up'ing for the reason that "other people have done it and got away with it" doesn't mean you should automatically agree for the same reason. TL;DR - Stop comparing a Mass Freekill to the incident with Warrior's "smite@all". I won't say stop being biased as that's almost impossible, but I will suggest to at least try to stop. @@DarkWolf6052 @@Gkoo @@HighSociety - Dat guy, Forest (Source: LapisLazuli - Counter-Strike: Source) At this rate, the more you unban permanent CT bans that are perfectly valid, the more you're implying "It's okay to mass freekill only once, everyone gets the one free of charge and won't be punished." - Dat guy, Forest (Source: (movetobanprotest) Trinindol) TL;DR - Just read the top portion. Largest portion of this post involves quotations.

Can you people stop letting Players get away with intentional mass freekilling? How can this possibly be considered? I was on during the time, as a Division Manager, cautioning Eden not to do something so stupid. Eden was ignorant enough to do it with Staff on, just because of a "no balls" request and he should stick it out and deal with his punishment. I have nothing against Eden, but rules and regulations should be followed with any player, friend or not. I'm not going to deny this protest, but I want you to seriously consider the fact that each time you say "he's learned his lesson" or "it's been long enough" you're giving players the impression that mass freekilling is taken as a joke and that we are far more tolerant of it than we should be. The moment you let one person through, you're going to feel obliged to let every other Player who intentionally mass freekills through. Think about it.
