Fucking finally. Should have been shut down like a year and a half ago but thank god it's finally happening.

Stop promoting bach he's a fuckboy

Leaving sometime midday Thursday. Catch you on the flippity flip.

I've had this thread typed up for a while with the intention of posting it with two weeks left before I leave for college, so... I've largely lost the drive I once had for being involved in the leadership of this clan, so I'm resigning from my position of Community Leader. I don't want to post some massive wall of text here, so if you'd like to read my full reasons for resigning you can read it here. My initial plan was to leave right away, but since CS:GO was rebooted I've decided to do something else. Until the end of summer I've decided to keep my temp mod status and membership, mainly playing League and CS:GO. Once school starts my activity will almost certainly take a pretty catastrophic hit, and at that point I'll resign my temp mod powers on CS:GO and officially leave the clan. Adios

To be honest, I think we should just do a hard reset on ranks and go back to how it was before the Community Leader rank was introduced. If I could choose anyone to take up the post, it would either be Chrono, Forest or Aegean. Unfortunately that probably won't happen as Chrono has been too inactive recently, Forest probably wouldn't accept the offer (polite canadian bastard), and Aegean isn't even in the clan and I doubt whether or not Silence would even let him anywhere near the position. Personally, I would say just stick to the old system and have one Co-Leader. Having multiple Co-Leaders (especially if you're going to prop them up as "representatives" from a specific division) will only serve to divide the clan even further across divisional lines. Whoever takes up the position has to abandon their former division (if we're going with the original level of powers that the Co-Leader had, this person still would have powers) and realize that they're serving a broader purpose. If you want someone with a high level of forum and server powers but also serves the interests of a specific division, you've essentially just described the rank of Division Leader. If the clan decides to have what essentially boils down to a Division Leader with slightly more powers and several added responsibilities, then so be it. Keep in mind that doing so will cause rifts in the future as divisions change in size. At the bare minimum, the change eliminating the leader rank should be reverted. Since that change was made there have been serious issues with chain of command and has resulted in a fair amount of confusion on the responsibilities of the Community Leader.

Congratulations!

conglaturation!

~closed cuz he got mod

If it's going to be kept, it has to be pretty strictly regulated, especially if there's a problem with staff going too far. We did something similar on CS:S called Late Nite Jailbreak, and in my opinion it was pretty successful. It was fun for pretty much everyone, CT's and T's broke tons of rules, admins abused a lot (not too overboard, no one was slaying @all every single day, it was mostly somewhat innocent) and it allowed for staff to let off some much-needed steam. I would suggest emulating this as megarobin suggested. Schedule a specific day and time for it to happen (I would suggest a Friday or Saturday night), let everyone know that it's happening and see what people's opinions are, and for a couple of hours just let loose. If people don't like it, then it should probably be scrapped. If everyone is having a fun time and people seem to be enjoying it, keep it around and we can have them as a regularly scheduled event. However, I don't think that it should remain as a choice for last request. Occasional abuse can be fun, but having it too frequently can turn people off to the server. This isn't something that should be happening every day.

season's greetings

We kicked videogamedunkey from the CS:S jailbreak server when he came on. I guess our track record with youtube personalities isn't too hot (skip to 0:52 and 1:32 to see him on xG servers). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5lGCSx3K4o

Active, knows the rules, previous mod for CS:S (and gmod, but I didn't really play gmod frequently so I can't really judge off of that) who knew what he was doing and was good at his job. +1

+1 cool guy :coffee:

I'm pre-emptively locking this thread to prevent any further replies so I can have time to type out my reply without a shitstorm erupting. Let's make a couple of things clear, Hidingmaster did not delete your post, I did. The reason I deleted your post was because it did not contribute in any way, shape or form to the thread in general, and was made almost certainly with the intention of making Hidingmaster or anyone else in the thread aggravated. No one deleted your post to cover themselves up. Your first thread was closed for a reason, just because it didn't go the way you wanted doesn't give you the right to post a new one. Make another thread and you will be banned.

yeah this isn't going anywhere good. ~closed.

@Bleed

Well, since this thread has long since been derailed, I'm gonna go ahead and close it. I apologize to those who haven't gotten the chance to congratulate or commend Armin, and I apologize to Armin for some of the grossly insensitive comments made on this thread. With the exception of a few dummies, we're here to support you during what may be a difficult transition in your life. ~closed.

If it isn't too difficult to port an old cs:s map to cs:go, we should add parabellum (the map gkoo and snakeboyeric made). Link

Sorry, but you're too young to apply for mod. ~closed.
