  1. @@Chrono Sorry, still a bit confused.

     

    So Brian was planning to turn the server into zombie escape, but because he's taking a break for a while you're turning it into gun game. Is that correct?


  2. K so here is where we are at. I've always loved gun game myself, so I decided I wanted to use one of the servers for it, at current standings after vote, Brian had started working on zombie escape/zombie mod, but he is taking a break so it won't be up for a while, leaving that to him. Surf was the next popular, and I do enjoy surf, but it's not my favorite. So I will make a surf server on one of the other ones after GG is up and running smoothly, and there is some feedback on how to improve it etc. or how perfect it is because I am perfect.

     

    A little bit confused so maybe you can clarify, is this related to the vote for what to replace the GG server with? Surf won that vote, so why is a GG server happening before a surf server?


  3. You make it sound like the community will fall apart if the can't talk to each other while they're dead. The admins can still use admin chat, so I hardly see it as a reason to keep it, as it'll get them used to using admin commands. If anything, that's a plus in itself. It wasn't supposed to be enabled in the first place.

     

    Not getting re-added sorry.

     

    The community won't fall apart, but this sure makes it just a little bit harder to enjoy it.

     

    But I'm really quite annoyed that changing this isn't even being considered. NOBODY who is active on the server likes this change (except dontbleed).

     

    Go on teamspeak, ask if anyone wants it.

     

    Go on the server, ask if anyone wants it.

     

    Make a forum poll, ask if anyone wants it.

     

    Why do the opinions of the people who actually play on the server not matter?


  4. You guys still have admin chat. If you really need to contact a person, type it in admin chat, as I have rarely ever seen a time when an admin was not on. It's a nice feature in Mini-games, but in jailbreak, where a new CT spoils the position of a rebelling T is just a much of reason to turn it off, than to allow it. It's more of a safe backup than anything. Plus, you can still talk to each other while you're dead, but alive players need to focus on the game at hand. You can weigh both sides pretty equally, but the major reason it was removed is because it wasn't supposed to be there in the first place.

     

    Side Note : Zombie Server is gonna be up later today.

     

     

    You know, I don't think I've ever seen someone tell someones location in CT chat while dead. The only real ghosting I've ever seen was during LCT or freedays when the rounds were taking a long time. In those cases, it was always quickly dealt with.

     

     

    And as you said, "I have rarely ever seen a time when an admin was not on", so why is this needed? I know it was supposed to be there in the first place. I know it's been there on CS:S forever. I don't think that matters at all. This should be treated as a completely new addition to the server (because it is).

     

    Pro:

    Prevents ghosting. (which if you ask anybody who actively plays on the server, is not an issue)

     

    Cons:

    Makes life just a little bit harder for mods.

    Hurts community aspects of the server (Be it simple discussion, joking around, or just helping out someone new. It's hard to explain to a new guy how LR works when you're dead.)

     

     

    I believe the cons vastly outweigh the pro, especially when the community aspect should be one of the most important things right now.


  5. CS:S doesn't have it, so it's not really an issue. Dead chat wasn't even supposed to active. You enjoyed it for a while, but the time has ended.

     

    I don't really think it matters how it is on CS:S or how it was supposed to be in the first place. It's become so ingrained with the players of the server that the loss of this is only causing more harm than good.


  6. But it's not just personal communication, you can be discussing things relevant to the game (which is most often the case).

     

    Look, you're supposed to be doing what is best for the server. Do you truly believe this is best for the server, even when there is only one active player (dontbleed) that agrees with you?


  7. Give me names, or I can't talk to them, and when they say that just send another message "Could you atleast ask ___________ why he freekilled me?"

     

    I don't have names and I'm sorry for pushing this thread off topic. Anyways, this change is still bad. I haven't encountered a single person (other than Chrono/Dontbleed) that think this change is a good idea (not only regular players, but xG members and staff).


  8. Admins do that too. If you complain about a freekill and they didn't necessarily see it, they can simply ask "Hey X, why did you kill Y?" and get clarification there. if there is no reason they will slay.

     

    Yeah and I understand that, but there have also been many situations that happened to me personally where the mods simply ends it on "didn't see it", not asking the person anything.


  9. edit: had typed this out before Chrono posted.

     

    Before someone says "use admin chat for that" not all issues have to be solved through mods/admins, especially if you're not sure if it was a freekill or not. You can't simply ask the person to clarify on orders directly, you have to go through mods/admins (who commonly give the reply "didn't see it, can't do anything").

     

    Not everything has to be dealt harshly either (this goes back to fostering a larger community). There have been many cases where I just ask the person, "Hey X, why did you kill me?" only to find out it was a simple mistake and the person happily slays themselves, problem solved. The other side of the coin is a mod slays the person with no warning, then they get mad and even when a mod explains what they did wrong they already have a sour taste in their mouth. They'll always remember xG as the server with the dick mods that slayed them (I am not saying this is true, this is just how they'll remember xG).
