@Bone on the jump server commands such as bring are not working. There is also an issue with the ammo regeneration (after changing weapons, it stopped regenerating) and most importantly, the team balance does not work. Jump maps need to have everyone isolated to one team which we cant do on the map so in this case (jump academy) everyone on blue is stuck in an empty room that's not meant for players to see. If you need any help let me know, Id love to pitch in where I can!

Fixed. Added a new plugin. Players are automatically set to RED, even if they choose BLU. Ammo Regen works fine. If you change weapons it may take a second to kick in, or you can always use jm_resupply in chat or console. Bring didn't work because it wasn't on the server, so I added it.

-1, clearly trolling here, and your ban already expired.
 
Close please, @Elcark @mrnutty12@Vargas @virr @Vexx

Sorry for being a bit late this month. The winner of this month's vote is Jump!

Now, I'm not super familiar with the jump gamemode, but I've added the necessary plugins and a few basic maps. If there's more that needs to be changed/added, just post in this thread or message me on Discord/Steam/Here on the forums

in general though, gelato > regular ice cream

I was wondering what happened to you, welcome back!
Hope things get better for you, glad to know you are okay.

Can we get these back please?

Yeah lets just keep it for now, until we find an alternative to playpoints.

On Extended Mutes
Due to many recent complaints about not being sure when it is appropriate to use longer mute/gag times on someone, i'll explain when staff should be trying to or not to make one in favor of a harsher punishment. Beforehand though, it is important to explain that the purpose of being able to do this is give staff more flexibility in responding to a situation so they may find a solution that best addresses it. The whole of this is rather open ended, but hopefully will give clarity about it and allow our staff to be more confident. 
 
An extended mute/gag can be used when someone is breaking chat related rules but is not doing so in purposeful manner. This would revolve around situations such as where someone may have a poor quality microphone, unintentionally spamming, or causing trouble due to a lack of understanding on their part (such as if they are notably younger, but in the end not trying to make the server worse). An extended mute/gag should not be used when someone is breaking rules intentionally and or maliciously. If someone is mic spamming music, being toxic, or trying to incite issues there is no good in being lenient to them  and it sets a better example for the server to make it clear such behavior is not tolerated. Further more, an extended mute should never be made for longer then one full day. If the problem persists afterwards, it is far more suitable to move on to other punishment. While it may not seem favorable to have to ban someone who's intentions were not overall malicious to anyone or the server as a whole, people do need to take responsibility for their own actions and learn to exercise greater caution on their own end. For instance, if someone has a terrible mic and needs to be constantly muted for it then they need to eventually either fix it or refrain from using it. 

I mean, plenty of members don't even play on the servers...
Taking a break is perfectly fine. The only need to step down would be if you are staff for whatever div you want to take a break from, which afaik you are not.

I think you're kind of dumb smh

Ok I shall propose an idea to you. Instead of making this forum post calling out the higher ups to the whole community, maybe call in a meeting or something or just say something to them when you catch them online. I can see you took time and effort into making this post, but this post doesn't affect most of our lives. Im not saying I disagree with what you are saying, but maybe bring this matter to the higher ups and not the whole community. (inb4 massive hate spam for an opinion)

Honestly as much as I would like to agree with you, I appreciate him making this post public because it's a good wake up call for higher-ups and for me to assess the situation and discuss it with Virr accordingly. Things like this aren't "rude", it's nice to be able to share your frustrations in a community without backlash, if your heart is in the right place. Since 2010 xG has only strived to improve, so whenever we get into a slump, we gotta get a little kick in the back to get us to shape up.

So i'm not exactly happy with our higher ups right now. That's not to say it is relative to just this point in time either as it has accumulated to this over quite awhile. I'll start out by saying when I first received the position I'm in, I was expecting to discover a plethora of behind the scenes work being done to maintain the community and servers and although my expectations weren't ridiculously high, the lack of running into hardly anything was sorely disappointing at the time.  Now sure there are going to be periods of time where nothing is happening or needs to be done, but in contrast then when there is work to be done then it can be knocked out efficiently and quickly, right?  Hardly.
Now as a disclaimer I do consider myself as part of the higher ups when I refer to us as such, and am just as responsible in my eyes for all of this that I have a problem with. I don't want this to seem like i'm trying to put blame on an individual or individuals, regardless of how "much" responsible anyone may be. Additionally though there are issues with our community higher ups having similar problems to what i'm going on about, this is really only addressed at our tf2 division. 
The rate of discussing subject matters and handling them in a timely fashion among higher ups is just horrendous. Some things do get worked out such as the improved rtv to the servers that was implemented, but to say that was done in a timely fashion isn't quite the case (it was over a month). More so, this is an example of one single thing actually getting done when there is a (STILL) growing plethora of other matters that have been mentioned. All of which have either been discussed so briefly they didn't go anywhere or were just flat out ignored entirely. A good example would be I recently tried to address a solution to maybe not getting promo/demo out on time, but to at least have it ready on time. What I suggested implied more effort from us higher ups not only to be more vigilant to have more to talk about when the time comes, but to actually do so in a timely fashion for a more mutual progress alongside virr. Not only was there zero response or even acknowledgement of what I had said, but the proceeding promo/demo was probably the sloppiest I have ever seen. I have made it pretty clear to others that I'm not exactly happy with how awful discussion has progressed, but when it becomes normal for me to wait weeks for no response at all it begins to feel just slightly like a one sided conversation in there. 
Sometimes people are just too busy, and that's fine. If someone is on vacation for a week, it's understandable they can't help out much. If they have too many real life issues at the moment and can't reply to an issue for a few days, that's fine. When this has been going on for many months now (at least three off the top of my head), perhaps the entire time I've been around, that shouldn't be the rate at which we progress. If someone is in a position they just can't partake in discussion and it is that extensive, then as far as i'm concerned that person is just wasting a slot for someone else to potentially actively help out our servers and work on them far more actively. 
You could possibly pass it all up to just being laziness, and even though that has something to do with it I really don't see it as the whole problem. Our higher ups can really be productive and implement or fix things when they need to. I think the root of things being so slow though can be attributed to taking initiative to actually try to work these subjects out, again in a timely and efficient manner. I've tried to take the initiative to at least start discussion on many things, but as pointed out already haven't really been meet with much in return. Higher ups just seem to lack drive to go about these things, and I can't instill drive into them. The way this reflects to me as I told them myself is that the overall attitude seems to be to let the servers float on their own until they sink, and not actually build on the servers to keep them afloat. 
I really want to make clear I do NOT want to step down. I've loved this so much. I'm so thankful of so many people, both for the good that has happened and the bad, for making my time here what it has been. I don't even know how I would proceed no longer being staff or how I would cope with having to not act as such on the servers (might be a relief, might be painfully limiting). Not only my time as staff has been enjoyable, but my time as a higher up has helped me to see everything and everyone around here so much better. I'll say now to you Vexx since I don't talk to you directly much that I am very happy for the respect I've been able to have for you in my time as a higher up. I think you maintain yourself as very much a straight and trustworthy person to be in charge, and though you may be lacking in some regards, you certainly aren't there. Where you do lack though may have given you less then a favorable reputation with some, but I'm very glad I've been able to see around that and probably wouldn't have without being a DM. My greatest issue with making this post here like I have is that I don't want to make this to be an ultimatum, but if the issue of discussion being effectively none existent were to be fixed then I would have no intention of stepping down. On the other hand, with it being like it is I just can't proceed to be in this position without it seeming like i'm going about in a charade pretending everything is ok. I really do want to do what I can to help this place out, the stress I get in wanting things to get done isn't exactly worthwhile when i'm rewarded with silence. I've given quite some time for this to get better before I came to writing this out. To put it in other words, even though this is technically a stepping down thread it doesn't guarantee that I am stepping down. A better way to look at it is if my name does show up on promo/demo, this is explaining why.
 
As a side note, @virr
appreciation for what you do can't be overstated. I don't want to see a single thing about how you might be responsible for this issue in the slightest, regardless of how much or little you may be. I couldn't be more thankful for you having been here (thanks for taking my bitching lately, and just in general) and your helpfulness probably gets taken advantage of. In the end though it is ridiculous how much you have to babysit our division.

He honestly just seems to like confrontation. If you let him know he's getting under your skin you're giving him attention and that validates him because that's his goal. I honestly don't think we should even really ban him, he's just another body on the server most of the time.
If we really want we should just silence him for longer and longer periods of time and if all he wants to come on to do is shit-talk he'll soon stop returning. Otherwise he's keeping the servers populated while unable to start shit or will learn to stop starting shit, which is the best of both worlds
