Alright, cancer has been purged. Let's try and keep it on track this time. <3

Perfect tenouttaten. This is amazing. Thread being stickied and will also be converted into an actual guide. Thanks for the work here Kitsune! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjQPaBVYTQk

UserID can also be viewed in the /admin window as well. When it lists the player names, it puts their UserIDs in brackets as well next to the name.

In these cases, we would have to target the user via /admin panel anyways, so if this is the case, just do so if they are being a nuisance.

1. Downgrade your 3DS firmware to 9.2. 2. Copy everything on your 3DS SysNAND to a partition on your SD card called the EmuNAND. 3. Set up a Custom Firmware. 4. Update the CFW EmuNAND to the most recent Firmware. 5. Install FBI on the CFW EmuNAND. 6. Download any and all 3DS games you want as .CIA files. 7. Install them to your CFW EmuNAND. 8. ???????? 9. Profit. Never have to buy another Nintendo game again. (inb4 "Get out you dirty pirate.")

At the current time of posting, this change is for TF2 only. If the CS:GO division would also like to implement this rule, we can move it to xG News. ^-^

-The Rule Change- Recently, Valve has made a few changes to the Advanced Options menu in TF2. One of the big changes they implemented was bringing over a feature from CS:GO. The option is under "HUD Options" and is entitled "Enable Mouse Input on the Scoreboard". Checking this setting allows you to hover your mouse over the names of other players when in the scoreboard (Holding TAB by default) and right-click them to quickly access their profile, trade window, mute, and other things as well. Because of these recent changes, I have discussed this with other CLs and some of the higher-up TF2 staff, and we have concluded that it is time to remove the rule that requires players to have a minimum of three consecutive typable characters in their in-game names. Previously, we had this rule in place for targetting reasons, meaning that it was difficult for our staff to target trouble-makers who had complicated names. They would have to resort to using the /admin menu, which is very time consuming and tedious when dealing with an immediate issue. However, now that isn't the case. In the event of a trouble-maker who has a complex name, it's as simple as holding TAB, right-clicking the individual's name, and opening their Steam Profile. Once it opens up, you can simply copy/paste their name from their Steam page. Pasting it into your commands will work just as if you typed the name out. Because of this, we feel that the name rule is now obsolete and unnecessary. It was originally put in place to counteract having to take time-consuming measures in order to deal with rule-breakers. -What This Means For You- If you are a Staff Member, all this means is that we are no longer enforcing the old name rule. You no longer have to make people change their names or add three typable characters if they are composed entirely of untypable characters. As soon as you can, please open up your Advanced Options in TF2 and check the box next to "Enable Mouse Input on the Scoreboard" underneath "HUD Options" if you haven't already. If for whatever reason you are still finding it difficult to copy and paste the user's name, please resort to using the /admin command to slay/kick/ban/gag/mute the target. If you are a regular to our servers, this simply means you now have the leeway to diversify your in-game name with special characters. Go crazy! (You still must be a member to wear the [xG] tags. That hasn't changed.) By the time this post goes live, all of the Rules Guides and MOTDs should be updated to reflect this change. Thanks again, and let me know if there are any problems.

Called it. +1 A: 10 M: 10 The second half to one of the greatest pairs in spawncamping/rage-enduing history. And now, applying for xG. Good to have you two. You'll make this place loads better. <3

+1 Oldest of the oldfags, and one of the most pleasant people I've interacted with since I've been a member of xG. The only surprising thing here is that it took THIS long for her to apply. Time for the greatest spawncamper to be inducted to our league of autism. A: 10 M: 10 Also, if Vixen is applying, I'd assume Kitsune's application is close behind. HOORAY. THE LESBIANS ARE HERE. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id=fPDl2g8Upvk;t=41

Thanks for the explanation of why you'll be on less, but it isn't really necessary unless you're staff. =x

This is something I ALWAYS try to do. If I disagree with someone, no matter what the context, I will NEVER result to personal attacks.

Also, @Goblins, sorry if I upset you about what I stated. T.T Hope you can forgive meh.

I don't understand why someone would want to word it that way, if that's the case. I mean, perhaps it's because we as a society have tethered prayer to empathy, so that it's now acceptable to say it in that connotation. "Thoughts and Prayers" basically does what Christ didn't want us to do by making your communication with God known to all others. (In the sense that religious folk SHOULD pray, at least.) I suppose it mostly comes down to my qualms about social media mostly. We have come to an age where we now openly share EVERYTHING about ourselves with everyone we know. Some little things like this just rub me the wrong way, I guess. =(

I want to start this thread off with an apology. If I said anything in ShoutBox that offended anyone, I just want to make it clear that it was not my intention. That being said, I will stand by the notion that as a former Christian, now Agnostic, I feel that prayer should be a personal exercise and to make public what you are praying for is hypocritcal, as said by Christ in Matthew 6:5-6:6. It DOES bring awareness to current events, but there are so many more productive ways to do that, such as linking to donation funds or simply speaking about it in a more controlled way than simply letting everyone know you just got done praying about it.

Grats at all promo'd. Rip at all demo'd. Grats at XenoGamers as a whole, because now we don't have to deal with Liekos anymore. But it's not like he did anything anyways. JK Bae, ILU. =3

I've been standing on my desk for the past twenty minutes because I saw a mouse. I think it's gone, so it's probably safe to step down off my desk now. Just thought you guys should know. Oh, and hi xG. How are you all doing today? =)

Well, I mean... If your servers aren't ever hurting, and never really need any sort of maintenance or work, doesn't that show that Snackbar is very efficient at his job, and not the opposite? DLs responsibilities aren't exactly tethered to activity on servers. If the server is running without a hitch, that only shows competence. I would understand the complaints if there were jobs requiring a DL that aren't getting done, but I've heard no such complaint from CS:GO about it. >.> (I don't want to sound like a dick here, and if I did, I apologize.)

Nope. If this low-res pixelated mess of AOL-aged pronz offends anyone, they can take it up with me. Hotel Hell was nixed because of pronz, but at least THAT pronz was legible. This is just garbled SNES-level nips. THIS is tolerable. I mean, if you can honestly nit-pick Duketown, which is a map from a game that glorified sexism and objectification of women, extreme violence, and crude humor, yet you take offense to a pixelated nip that could only barely be identified as such, you gots some priority problems mixed up there. That all being said, Duketown has been a staple of TGH for a LONG time. The only reason it was removed was due to the cap point being reactivated after our cap blocking plugin broke forever ago. But since I fixed that, it is no longer a problem. The pixel boobs were known back then, yet nobody ever complained. Duketown remains, but thanks for the concern. =)

Just so you all know, I have recently configured TGH to disable all capture points at the beginning of every round. I was able to do this using a Capture Point Toggle plugin and editing the file so that it hooks at the start of each round. I recompiled it, uploaded it as a plugin, and now we don't have to worry about capture points! That means that any capture point-based objective map that is gaming related is now usable on TGH. I've already uploaded a few, so take a look to see what has been added before suggesting new maps. If you know of any CP or KOTH maps that have NOT been added yet, please suggest them here!

I will put in my two cents on this particular individual. Over the past few days, michael bay has logged into TGH on more than one occasion and caused problems. He has been given several warnings and kicks for various different problems, most predominant being bodyblocking and building blocking. He never seems to learn his lesson, and I have even gotten to the point myself where I have said he would receive a ban on his next infraction. I feel a day ban is appropriate, but if he returns and continues to be a thorn in our sides, it needs to be escalated.
