  1. Price Voting - Burning Flames Team Captain - 8000 keys - backpack.tf

     

    This is absolutely insane. This will, by far, be the largest TF2 sale in history, and I doubt it will ever be topped. Purplicious sold his clean Burning Flames TC (I believe 1 of 2 clean TCs in existence) for a Burning Flames Killer Exclusive, a Burning Flames War Pig, and a Golden Frying Pan.

     

    The total value of the sale was 8,680 keys, but the price suggestion had to be capped at 8,000 keys due to Purp's Buyout.

     

    Absolutely insane. When converted to cash, that's slightly less than $20,000.


  2. To all of the new blood on the TF2 roster, I want everyone to know that just because I am no longer a DM/DL doesn't mean I am planning on NOT helping to cover those responsibilities. I'll still be helping with member submissions. I'll still be patrolling the forums. I'll still be here to lend a hand. I'm not going away forever, so don't worry if you feel overwhelmed. I won't let the forums decent into madness. Hit me up if you need any help with anything. =D


  3. I can honestly say that this feels absolutely genuine. I completely understand your reasoning and believe this has nothing to do with your demotion. That all said, I would like to personally thank Moosty for all of the work he has done to improve the community, and I really hope you stick around and get back to making our servers as fun as they once were. If ever you decide we could use extra help, there's always a spot on our team for you. God speed you magnificent bastard.


  4. Gonna throw in my two cents on this issue:

     

    Like most of you guys, I too am beginning to have reservations about the number of 12-year-olds we are making exceptions for when it comes to giving membership too. Clearly, we recently made the change to drop the required age for our members from 16 to 13. And the first member to actually get membership after the change was a 12-year-old.

     

    Obviously, this screams "Incompetence" by the higher ups when it comes to following the newly implemented rules. But allow me to provide some perspective on the matter.

     

    Beefalo has been here for literal years. He is a donator. He plays almost 100% of his TF2 time on our servers. He is the perfect candidate to be considered for membership. He is kind-hearted and all around a good kid. He directly communicates with many of our staff members and is actively trying to find solutions to the server problems.

     

    When the new rule was changed, he first messaged me and asked if he might be able to apply, since he will be turning 13 soon. I decided to make the executive decision and make an exception.

     

    Now, obviously going forward, we will not be allowing every 12-year-old in the world to toss up an application and automatically bypass the rule. This time, Ohstopyou is taking initiative with another exceptional case where we have a younger player who is a regular and very active. He has also donated money to our servers and helps to curb issues whenever he is online.

     

    Is he under the required age? Yes. He is. But I think that someone who has already dedicated so much of his time and money to our servers should also be given the benefit of the doubt.

     

    Obviously, if this wasn't a special case, we would have already closed this thread. You'll also notice the thread is going forward as any member submission threads do. We aren't automatically giving him membership here. We are still leaving it up to you guys to decide. If you feel that we shouldn't allow another exception, just leave your -1 and be done with it. If you agree that this individual has proven himself to be an asset to our community, +1 him.

     

    I've already conversed with Ohstopyou about the matter, and assuming Jordan gets the 13 +1s, he will be handled as if he is another new member. If he does not, then he will be asked to wait until his 13th birthday. But let me end with this: He would not be up for discussion to be a member if we honestly didn't think he was good member material.

     

    That all being said, I will show my support and say this:

     

    +1

    A: 8

    M: 8

    Someone who devotes so much time to our servers, and someone who supports us financially, DEFINITELY should be considered for membership, even if he's only a few months away from being 13.


  5. Aw damn, sorry that I missed this. I was hopping around servers like crazy last night responding to calls.

     

    Well, it would seem that there is substantial proof to show that he was indeed bodyblocking. Only problem is that with this offense, we usually just slay the person if they don't remove the buildings when asked, and if they do it again, follow it up with an hour ban.

     

    What do you guys think. How should we approach this one? =/


  6. @Vibes, thank you for expressing interest in a moderation position within our community, but we are currently unable to grant your request at this time.

     

    It would seem you are pretty much unknown within our community. I'd first suggest you become more active within as many of our servers as you can, then first attempt to gain membership within xG. After you have become a member and are in good standings for a minimum of 30 days, you can be considered a candidate for our moderation staff.

     

    We look forward to your continued involvement within our community!

    This isn't some "Let's see how far we can toe the line" contest. You constantly push buttons. You constantly receive gags and mutes. You constantly antagonize. Putting my foot down and we're not taking it anymore.

     

    And this isn't some "Oh, he was talking in class and wouldn't be quiet, so we're gonna expel him" kind of issue either. It's more along the lines of constantly harassing and disrespecting the teachers, arguing with them at every given moment, constantly disrupting the lessons, constantly giving the administration shit, and constantly finding ways to break the rules without any consequence. Sure, the kid never gets into a fight and gets suspended for it, but being a constant disruption in a classroom is warrant for arrest. As in, legal arrest. As in, put in the back of a police cruiser and being detained.

     

    Source: I'm a goddamn teacher.

     

    Perhaps you should have realized you're a nuisance when you had the multiple chances. Then, we may not be where we are now.

  8. Well, we DID have 13 +1s, until the negatives were posted. But it seems Beef has explained his actions, so if either of those members wishes to change their vouch, they can. If not, Beef will need at least two more +1s to counteract the -1s.
