Scootaloo

Good. This is the step that needed to be taken, ever since Earbuds began to quickly fall late last year.
 
It's also no longer necessary to use high-priced items to trade for expensive hats, which was a measure that was taken back when you could only trade a limited amount of items in one trade. Now that there's virtually no limit to how many items you can trade at once, expensive placeholders are no longer necessary.
 
backpack.tf also handled it perfectly. Not only did they quickly rescript their site to keys, but they also priced every single unusual in keys from the time periods of the hats' most recent suggestions. Perfect example was my Amaranthine Crones. It's only ever had one sale (Mine), and at the time, it was a 50 Bud deal. Buds were 12 Keys each when it happened, so my Crones was repriced at 600 Keys. It was formerly priced at 400 keys. This fixed a lot of value issues with EVERY Unusual hat.
 
Granted, there's still a lot of work to be done. Lots of unusual suggestions went through in the past month, so sales basically need to be restarted in order to reprice them. But now that everyone is pricing in keys, things can be handled more like CS:GO.
 
I have high hopes for the future of TF2 trading. Now that Earbuds have been erased from the trading formula, and people are getting rid of them, we can now focus on the TRUE value of the game: Keys.

Lately, things have been very temperamental around xG. Often times, I feel like there’s too much bickering and too much fighting among our members to justify the time that I put into doing what I do. Lots of times I feel like the only reason many of us are here is due to habit and never actually wanting to contribute to make xG a better place.
 
Whoo hoo! Secret message!
Just as I have had a difficult time watching many of my friends leave our clan, this post comes as a difficult measure. Usually, I wouldn’t be so long-winded about it, but I really feel that my feelings need to be heard. Sometimes, I wish that the level of stress I have to put up with as an Admin on xG was a lot lower, but alas it isn’t. There have been many moments where I simply had to stop and ask myself “What am I doing here?”
 
 
Kudos to those who found it in them to stick around as long as you have. I feel like that’s quite an accomplishment. Despite all of this, however, I have decided that it is time for me to step down and leave xG. Don’t take it upon yourself to try and persuade me otherwise. I’ve made my decision. Now, it’s time for me to be moving on. Getting along with most of you has proven to be too difficult to keep maintenance on.
 
 
If any of you harbor some sort of anger towards me, I can understand. Many of you, I consider close friends, so I don’t exactly expect a lot of whiplash, but I know some of you have butted heads with me in the past, so I’m ready to never speak with a few of you again.
 
Make sure to check the first letter of each sentence!
Never have I been apart of a community that was so often divided. Often times I sit back and just laugh about how immature and childish the members of our clan can be. Then, I had an epiphany: I don’t need to be here for this nonsense any longer.
 
 
Giving into my inner desires to never have to deal with this drama again has been absolutely relieving. Out of madness I venture forth to find brighter and greener pastures. In due time, I’m sure I’ll find another community that will actually have respect for one another, instead of a bunch of mindless idiots fighting with each other and spouting stupid-ass dank memes until they literally go insane with one another. Never again will I look back. Grasp for me to stay all you want, but it’s high time I stop babysitting the meme lords and actually find a group of mature individuals who can carry on like normal-ass human beings.
 
 
Alas, I will miss many of you. Now comes the time for the sad goodbyes. Yes, I said it: I will miss many of you, and will keep you added as friends on Steam for hopefully the next long while. Who is it that I’ll miss, you ask? Hell, it’s gonna be the people I tag in this post. Every single one of you is a hell of a person and I’m glad xG at least brought us together. Ready the tears, ladies and gents. Envision an xG without Scootaloo, because it’s about to happen.

You're so happy that I'm leaving. Why did I tag you? -_-

I can understand that it's the internet and we're all dumb as hell here, but certain things shouldn't really be said to certain people. Some just have to learn where the line is so they don't cross it.
 
Gayporeon will probably understand that it was an inappropriate comment, but things like suicide and murder requests are pretty shitty things to ask of people.
 
Let's cut back on the autism, kay?

First tag my ass.

He got mad because nobody knows who he is. He's only been a member for a month, yet he claims to have been a member when Vector was demoted, which happened in December.
 
Sorry if it seems like there's "disrespect" happening here, but literally all that has happened is Vector, Hachi, and myself asked who he was, and he got all defensive and pissy because we haven't the foggiest who he is or why he has this opinion about Vector. Then, he wants to revoke his membership because nobody knows who he is?
 
I just....ugh. I need to take my hiatus more seriously. This shit is too much for me right now.

Who in the hell is this kid? Does anyone actually know? AFAIK Tirisgarde has NEVER been on Teamspeak, only has 8 Forum messages, and I personally have NEVER seen him in game. How in the hell is he able to push a -1 on Vector when he hasn't even been a member long enough to remember when Vector was actually an Admin?
 
Tirisgarde - team fortress 2 | Xeno Gamers
 
Literally only been a member for a month and a half. Vector was demoted in December.
 
And for the record, I +1 reinstating him to at least Mod. (Just in case my butt tacos post was unclear.)

rip.
see you in a few days, you delicious bastard.

So, I'm going to be taking a bit of a hiatus from the division for a bit. I'm not leaving permanently or anything like that. I can just slowly feel myself being sucked away from TF2 by the sloppy wet lips of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. I'm a bit of a MH whore, and since I recently purchased a New 3DS, I have had a hard time doing much of anything else, such as caring for my daughter or tending to my marriage, or showing up for work and teaching my little demons. My wife probably left already. I'm not sure. I also may or may not have a job anymore. Who knows.
 
So, gimme a few days to get this out of my system and I'll be back. Hate you all. You won't be missed.

Thanks for tagging me to let me know you're leaving. T.T
 
Anywho, it's been great man. Take care out there in the real world!

This isn't Alcoholics Anonymous. There's no excuse for being a dick on our servers. You want to blame your life problems on alcoholism, you go right ahead. But continue to antagonize our patrons and you'll eventually find yourself banned, and nobody will miss you. Nobody really cares what your in-life personality acts like, because we don't see the in-life personality. We see the online personality. And if your online personality generates a dickish reputation, it's nobody's fault but your own.
 
I have very little contact with you personally, which hasn't been too good. I hear nothing but complaints about you from the other staff, to the point where my higher ups have given me permission to Perma you on your next offense. You're already on a thin line as it is, so my advice to you would be to stop toeing the line and straighten the fuck up, because it's no hair off of my chest if you can't come to our servers anymore. Just another troll banned because he's an immature asshole who likes to "push buttons."
 
Your actions reflect on you, no matter if you think it's an online personality that doesn't matter in the real world. How you treat others is a reflection on your own merit, even if you don't think it's serious. Truth be told, others do, and your childish actions are not going unnoticed.

i'm a stoner not an alcoholic @Hachi plz

Soooo, over the course of about the past week, Hub has been a real assbutt lately. Things have reset, trails are gone, name tags are no longer there, weapon colors aren't showing, and all sorts of nonsense is going on. I'm not sure what caused it, but it'd be swell if it could be fixed. Perhaps we could try resetting the servers that have been affected, I dunno.
 
At the time of writing this, the following servers are affected:
 
-Trade Gaming History
-Pokemon Trade
-Saxton Hale
-Jailbreak
-Deathrun
 
Strangely enough, the Unusual Server, Surf, and Deathrun are all unaffected.
 
It'd be cool if it could be fixed! :D
 
@kbraszzz

:( bye scooty, sorry I forgot to tag you there were a lot of people.

@All: Thanks for the the support.
 
@Scootaloo: Seems like a small world sometimes.
 

 
Umm......I'm 26, soooo. >.>;;;

Vector was one of the better staff. Ya sometimes he got bitchy but that's just his personality... +1
