Lithium

Division: Counter-Strike In-Game Name: Lithium Steam ID: STEAM_1:1:17823191 Position: Division Leader Information: Cmon guys, we clearly need to do something with CSS. Minigames has been getting some decent population lately yet we still have no one willing to do anything with it (add maps, remove inactive admins). The only active staff members on CSS are @jubens45 , @Bonk , and me, with @Cristo and @Bleed on sometimes. We don't really need many admins or staff members for only one server, but it'd still be nice if at least someone had admin, and if someone could be a DL so we can get some new maps added and broken/boring ones removed. I don't think any maps have been added in over a year, and the only person who can is Bleed, and I know @Legend has asked him to but he hasn't and I don't think he will (its not his responsibility I mean, but no one else CAN do it). So if CSS MG isn't gonna get taken down, someone needs to be in charge of it. If there's no one else who will/is qualified, I could do it. I've run source servers before on my own and there's nothing new for me to learn. If not me, @Legend could do it. He knows the basics and definitely would put in the effort. But someone's gotta have access who's willing to put in the effort, and right now there's no one in charge at all of CSS.

now he's abusing me so that i'll +1, help

chaos ensuing on minecraft, should get a new dl. obv haxxs fault

+1

surprisingly good point. i think we should go ahead and ban this troublesome individual from all aspects of this organisation, it's pretty clear he's a threat to the healthy function of this society

-1 only wants back in the kool kids klub after he left like a scrub

+1 100% walling, confirmed

+1 for only ct's dropping credits. Also for me at least it's a bit buggy, because it says "You have no credits to drop" when I die and then when someone picks up the credits that I apparently did not drop I get a message saying they picked them up. Not sure how that all is supposed to work or what

People who only vote d2 in deathmatch/casual. We just played it four times in a row guys, come on.

So uh, i used a medium bomb and the server crashed. Oops.

sweeeet. how do we get to special days? and what's gonna happen with donators having custom chat tags and colors?

as of now me and @Sojodak will be a team. I'll do my best to be there, but if I can't I'll message someone.

So I think it should be extended day, but not eternal. Or shortened night. or something. I hope i can make it, idk though.

Hey cool. Already got a thread here with a list of all maps if anyone wants to suggest which ones to get rid of. I could make a new one with the xG logo and "Prisoners/Guards Win" in a couple minutes to help. Just need to know the resolution.

Of course theyre basic, the point is we can get a basic JB together while more advanced plugins are being worked on-to avoid the downtime. A new set of rules shouldn't take more than a day at all, especially since there's already a set of rules: just get the DM's/people with a say in the rules in teamspeak for an hour and decide what rules need to go, and what needs to be added. And it may take more than a week to get all the polished new plugins and stuff, but with all the other, unused xg CSS servers, one could be a test server so downtime is essentially nonexistant. Of course, all this requires DM's/DL and people who actually give a shit and put in the effort that their position requires, which I'm not sure we have right now in CSS.

I think some people might be overestimating the time it takes to start CSS JB from scratch. Writing new rules wouldn't take long at all, plenty of plugins already exist that could all be used (Models, muter plugin, arrest plugin, etc.) Backing up all the old plugins and uploading new plugins would take 10 minutes maximum, and virtually no effort. The rules, maybe 30 minutes. Maps, once we decide on maps we want, might take a little longer to upload, but no effort is required to do that. It's not like this couldn't basically be done in one day (except for hub, of course).

Also, I think some people are misunderstanding what I'm saying about hub and such. Sure, it might help bring back a few players who've been asking for it, but the main thing is getting new players to stay and not leave. I've seen bunches of people join the server, try !store and !shop and everything and then get confused and leave. I can't imagine it would take terribly long to get at least a basic hub up and working on at least one CSS server that's actually populated. I mean, its on sliderace and it seems to work fine to me, though I wouldn't know how close it really is.

Why is this not true for CSS then? CSS as a whole certainly isn't dying, and I see no reason why attention from devs and people in command couldn't revive it just as easily as another division.

If people think CSGO has so much more potential, lets close down the unwanted CSS servers first and open a couple CSGO servers (MG, maybe surf) and actually see if we can get that going. I don't know how the servers/boxes are all organised but surely there's enough room to keep a couple CSS servers running, especially if that was just going to go to CSGO anyways.

I only joined xG and started playing on the css servers this year, and it's never been *that* populated, but its still always been fun and certainly a place where I spend a lot of my time. We still have quite a few dedicated players who come on every day, and at least one server is populated at some point throughout the day. Now, I do see another option, that is somewhat combined with the second. Right now, we have 6 servers: Jailbreak, Minigames, RPG Surf, RPG Surf DM, Bhop, and sliderace. Only the first 3 are ever populated, not to mention they have way more slots than they need. If CSS Division is costing too much, why not downsize to start things off? Pay only for the 3 servers and the slots they need. That won't get us more players though, so on my ideas on the second idea Hiding mentioned. On JB and MG, we have new players come fairly often, but many don't stick around long, so we only have a certain amount of regulars. So, what can we do to keep new players interested? As it stands, xG CSS JB doesn't have a whole lot. Bombs, redbull, bank, that's about it. If we can get the devs and any member who can help to work on a new set of plugins, we might be able to have that extra something that makes other players want to stay. Now, as we have so many people asking for Hub, I think thats a great way to start. Why not even come up with something original? For example: A CSS hats plugin already exists, why not take that, add it into hub, but instead of using credits to buy, make it give you hats for "achievements" or something. IE 100 Hours on server? Get a hat. Warden 50 times? Get a hat. Now, that may or may not actually be a good idea, thats just an example. I do think we should get rid of bank, completely. Redbull and bombs are fine, imo. For minigames, a simple hub might keep things more interesting. And of course, we can add more as things go on if its successful. I could go on for a lot longer, but I just want to say this: We have other servers and divisions that are populated even less, why should CSS go, especially with so many people who play on them regularly, even if they are mods? What's the point in having servers if not to have xG members play on them?

For good gaming mouse, I'd recommend a Logitech g502, or one of its competitors (Razer Deathadder or Steelseries Rival). They're all great wired mice for gaming, optical sensors (none of that laser crap). I bought the G502 over the other two because it has more buttons that I can bind to macros, a weight adjustment system, and it looks kinda cool too. Its a little bit more expensive than the other two, but to me it's definitely worth it. As for building a PC, it's really very easy. Another, more well known custom pc builder is Custom Gaming Computers and Laptops: iBUYPOWER® Gaming PC. It still might be cheaper to build it yourself rather than buy from IBuyPower or CyberPower. I'd get an idea of what specs you want beforehand and try building it on those sites to see if that's within your price range and also using PCPartPicker to get an idea of how much it would cost to do it yourself.

Happened again, right after tiny beacons was rolled, this time on warmcup_headshot: "Dice: xG:M Jubens can jump higher than normal! (Effect: High Jump) Dice: [xG:HS:M] Bonk's damage has decreased by 30%%! (Effect: Weakness) Dice: You will lose health for each team member death! (Effect: Nobody Likes Me) Unknown command: sm_dice Dice: xG:M | GayCumSlurpingFurry has tiny beacons... (Effect: Tiny Beacon)" So, I think it is a beacon problem. Just a semi-rare one.

+1 a:9/10 m 8/10, good guy, knows rules, etc.
