I guess I will be reasonably serious on these forums for once. I understand that these forums aren't exactly a great place for you. You didn't have the best start, which sort of lead to a lot of harassment going your way. The issue is, this is what, your 4th goodbye thread? Something like that. If you are leaving because of the harassment, it really isn't a good idea to make an entire thread for it. You can just silently leave. Nobody is stopping you. Making goodbye threads one after another is just going to lead to more harassment. I would recommend leaving silently next time you want to leave.

You degenerates make fun of me for supposedly storing milk in bags but you put milk in CARDBOARD BOXES!!!

+1 Because he is big gay and He is only man to take care of this big homosexual
 
 
What did I just say.. I'm drunk btw so ignore this

Not finished yet, water + lighting specifically will be worked on a lot.

Things that will be included in the final map:
- Snowhead 
- The Path
- The Smith Shop    
Any questions or comments? Post below!
Ps: no I did not suddenly become a map maker, just a friend who wanted to show his current project before finishing + releasing it.

I think some people are so used to playing on the same 3 maps that going to a new one instantly puts them into the mindset that it's gonna be bad because it's not aquatic ruin. There are plenty of other fantastic maps that we just don't go to and enjoying them is all about how you approach the playstyle. If people were to just stick around for most of the map changes, they'd probably actually have a lot of fun. 
There are some maps that are exceptions. However, I really think that if some people were to just try out a map that isn't played often, they could have loads of fun and it keeps tgh fresh and interesting. 
We went on Clickclock wood with 3 people and 20 minutes later, 20 people. Just because they are underplayed does not mean that they aren't fun to play on

Giant Murals of the CS 10man channel everywhere, as a reminder we're taking over.

Remove default dance :^)

As you all know, it's a problem that we are constantly on the same few maps on Trade Gaming History. Therefore, to prevent this, we have increased the time before you can nominate a map you have already been on from 5 map changes to 8. This is an attempt to make it so people don't get bored of just playing on the same place every single day because as I'm sure a lot of you feel the same, as good as Aquatic Ruin is, we literally play there everyday.
However,
If we were to just increase the time before you can go back to a map, we would end up going to multiple maps that people enjoy even less and would definitely make the server go from 32 players to 0 in an instant. Therefore, I have come to the conclusion that removing some maps that consistently kill the server will help keep the player count up and higher than ever before.
Please vote on each poll, write a comment if you would like to elaborate and feel free to leave suggestions on what maps need to be removed.
 
We do not want to remove maps just because YOU PERSONALLY don't like it.
 
Thanks, everyone!

Well now I know who to make the member protest on. +1 get Virr out of this community

Doxxing another player in any way, shape or form here is completely against the rules and will ALWAYS result in a permanent ban. As far as the evidence goes and a confirmation from the owner of the phone number, things don't look great for you. 
As I'm told by @virr, you CANNOT use the unban challenge to get out of this and rightly so. I don't think you realise how serious doxxing is.
Regardless,
If you would like to make a protest on your ban, please make one here:

If you would like to report Krampus for abuse, please provide evidence and make a thread here:

Why have you made the protest and not Tykz himself?

Something needs to be said about this.  Everyone in the TF2 division is quitting all at once and they all have the reason for it:
The servers have gotten stale and 14 hours a week (2 hours a day) is too much
Here's what should be done IMO: halve the requirement (7 hours a week). It's a matter of keeping good staff members for the long-term. I don't think the current model of cycling though staff members every few months is a good one. Also, with a 7 hour a week requirement, wouldn't the servers be understaffed? No, I don't think so. With the lower requirement, we can simply have more TF2 staff members for one thing, and !calladmin and discord and the forums exist for a reason (that reason being the servers can't be staffed 24/7 anyways.

while I can see why you would write this, I am going to throw my own side down.
 
People leave step down from staff not because of requirements, but because the game isn't fun or its for their own good.
@Kypari originally stepped down for his own health
@mrnutty12 stepped down because hes clocked in over 10k hours so yeah, the game would get boring for him
@Caleb956 stepped down earlier because it wasn't fun
 
Point is, everybody has their own reason for leaving.
Also before it was 14 hours, it was something along the lines of 30 hours every 2 weeks or something crazy so lowering it for 14 to something else would be a poor idea as the staff would think that they aren't needed and will only go for the minimum requirements, leaving basically no staff on the servers when needed.
I understand you said this, but staff are volunteers and have their own lives. So if the requirement were to be lowered, it would probably in turn lower the amount of staff available at one time as they would make plans for their own life.
 
That is just my own take on the subject. I'm not saying I'm right in anyway, just my viewpoint.

Hey friends, I've been reading the posts that you all have been writing recently, whether it was people stepping down, planning events, making statements on xG in its current form etc. so I wanted to just give a few thoughts.
Staff Stepping Down
   There are never enough to say about staff who took the time to volunteer so many hours to help out xG. It is a thankless job that helps keep xG as populated as it is, due to the efforts from all our staff, whether it is new mods, all the way to the community managers. People get stressed doing this, and stepping down makes total sense as people have their own lives to worry about. School, work, mental health, and anything in between is more important than xG, so if people need to step down for those reasons, we encourage it and we will always welcome back those people with open arms if they decide they can and want to help out again.
Toxicity and Harassment
   As xG is a gaming community and the fact that we are not a private community, many different types of personalities with varying age ranges are all going to come and go. Disputes, problems, cliques, they are all bound to happen. It is also not only on staff but also members to hold each other accountable for how others are getting treated. Remember, we are all people in front of that screen at the end of the day, so please know that your words have weight behind them. If there are any issues that you don't feel comfortable discussing on the forums or with other members, you can always message me on discord privately and I'll always respond within 24 hours. Sometimes problems are just misunderstandings, but regardless I'm happy to take time out to resolve whatever problem you might have. People who intentionally try to get a rise out of others get little sympathy from me, but at the same time if you truly wish to improve or need a wake up call, I'm always here for that too.
Planning Events
   You do NOT need to be a higher-up or even staff to organize an event. I just want to say thank you to everyone who tries to figure out fun things we can do as a community by posting threads and being active on discord. Aside from CS:GO 10 mans, it's been a lot of fun playing golf-it, skribble.io, and other games with the rest of ya and I can see that a lot of you have been enjoying it too. Respect to everyone honoring the golf-it shoe pics btw on discord. If you need any help organizing an event, feel free to reach out to me or any of the other higher-ups! Looking forward to all the new things we organize as a community.

Moving Forward
   I'll be posting a thread soon about recapping what's been going on recently, and thoughts we have for 2019 in terms of divisions. It will also include getting your thoughts on what we should do, so we learn from the people who make our community so great, what they think we should implement.

Thanks for reading everyone!
Happy gaming,
~Aegean

Hi it is me, mrnutty12, and I'm finally stepping down.
I have never really liked long winded blocks of text because they bore me to death, so I won't subject you guys to one listing off every little insignificant detail as to why I am stepping down. Suffice it to say I have neither the motivation nor the interest that I used to have for leading the tf2 division, especially not what I would personally consider acceptable from myself. (eg 10k+ hours in a game kinda makes it feel a bit stale yadda yadda not really a shocker there)
I'll still pop in on the servers now and again when I feel like it, I am just done with higherup business and being staff in general.
 
And a few personal notes... (sorry if I miss you but I am not going through every person I know to write something for)
@PichuBoi ❤️
@Kypari I can't apologize enough for some of the things I have said to you.
@SegFault I probably won't delete my files and stuff so if you need to find them and I didn't leave such in the appropriate places feel free to ask
