Sora_

We decided to overhaul the current rule about sprays. From now on it is explicitly stated that avatars, customizable items (i.e. objectors, name tags, description tags etc.) and sprays are included. Additionally, we decided to elaborate on what is allowed and what isn't:
 

Sprays, avatars and items that are able to be customized cannot contain the following: nudity, racism, hate symbols, gore, derogatory content and images of sexualized minors (this includes drawn images).

There was some confusion going on and we hope this is gonna make moderating the servers a little easier for our staff.
I will keep this thread open to get feedback on the new rule and answer questions in case anyone has any.

I'm going vacation to Chicago starting tomorrow until next Saturday on the 29th so I'll see you nerds then, I'll still be stalking the forums or on steam if you need me though but I won't be on any games.

Deathrun:

Teamswitching is completely disabled. When you join the server, it will automatically assign you to red or blu[e]. Now if you join blu, there's no need to worry, as the deathrun plugin will automatically switch you to red once the current round is over (unless you're death obviously).

This way, nobody can join spectators either, however, we found a small solution for that.
There's a plugin that lets you go into spectator by typing a very simple command:
/ts [name] [team]
Teams: 1 = spectator, 2 = red, 3 = blue.
For instance, if I wanted to join spectator, I'd type /ts bello 1. And once I'm done spectating, I'd type /ts bello 2. Simple as that!

Just recently got accepted to XG, have had a wonderful time with this community so far and been relaxing in the TF2 Trade server, I haven't made any enemies yet and I'm not looking to, Wanted to get out there and say hello! I'm glad to be apart of XG!
 
Adding a'lil something~ I like payday 2, L4D2, TF2, Starbound, Don't Starve Together, and all kinds of co-op games!

+1 Man, I should really look at the new posts more often. Anyways, they've never caused any trouble and on top of that, they are friendly.

Nice, ael, you finally made a post! Next step is member, which I'm 100% confident in you! A warm welcome from me.

Yeah I'm struggling to even get on my PC anymore. I started trying to connect at 4pm. It is now 12:11am and I finally got on
Expect inactivity but I'll still try as hard as I can to get on @Bello @mrnutty12 @Vexx @Sesh

I don't know where to start with this thread, nor if it even matters at all, but I still feel i should make it. Sure, i'm pretty much a no-name here in xG, and I've made myself a stranger here more than anything, and that's fine. This thread is mostly here to explain to those who know me on a bit more of a personal level, and to give an explanation of what's going on with me to them and anyone else who is curious.
 
I'm in a weird spot in life right now, a bit dazed if you can call it that. I try to bring myself to play some good ol' Team Fortress 2, but even then when I bring myself up to play it, the most I play is a couple rounds of some Casual, and I don't spend enough time as I should on any xG servers. I've been trying to get back into TF2, and it's been working slowly so far, but not enough to bring me back into any social groups. I've probably confused anyone reading this, and like I mentioned before, I don't think i'm well known enough for this thread to make that great a difference so I'll end it with this.
 
I'm going to be on a hiatus, and I don't know when i'll be coming back, if at all.

The way I see it, gaming related and not broken are MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS, not automatic grounds for a spot on the server. This idea that whoever made the thread just wants it gone for personal reasons is pretty dumb. I see it as the same type of argument as hating on people for less than stellar posts to get to 50, what are they supposed to do? If multiple people think a map is bad, and not up to our servers standards, whether that map is complete and bug free or not really doesn't matter. And besides, outside of clear personal favoritism and begging higher ups outside of the forums, starting a discussion around whether or not we should have a map is perfectly valid. For any reason. It's a community vote, not one persons opinion.
 
3dland is generally disliked. Groans flood voice chat whenever it gets picked, and I think it's telling that your argument is "we shouldn't remove maps we dislike" instead of bringing up a single positive thing about the map. If the map can't be defended on the merits, and only on what is basically procedural grounds, then it should be removed.
 
Tl;dr: the map is bad, fairly objectively. it may be complete, but it's bad. If you want it gone, say why. If you want it to stay, defend it on its merits. But if all you can say is "we shouldn't remove maps the community as a majority dislikes" then nah fam, we should.
 
+1 for removal

-1 Can we not remove maps just because "oh I don't like them"? I don't think we should remove a map just based off of if you dislike the map, but if there's actually something wrong with the map such as a map-breaking exploit or such.

Have fun when you do go on the 9th. :^)

In terms of importance, i'd probably say originality, challenge, story, gameplay, and lastly replayability are what I like to see. I love a game that pushes me and takes real effort to complete, not something I can halfass and still get from the start to the finish. I don't like to getting myself a lot of new game because if I don't spend enough time with a game, it's just a waste. When i'm looking at getting myself games though, it's usually either the story to the game or some unique approach it has that catches my attention to buy it (things like Nier Automata or Jotun, while something like Just Cause looks like the same game I've played under multiple different titles).
On top of all that, the soundtrack isn't often something I go trying to find before getting a game, but a good one is a great way to captivate me and make me enjoy it significantly more.

Just about everything aside popularity really, I do love good soundtracks I'll continue to listen to after finishing with the game, and I especially like games with good gameplay and replayability as well. Popularity doesn't matter to me as long as the game is fun.

Gameplay, Soundtrack, Originality, Replayability, and Challenge.
I love games with all of them.
Some examples I can think of off of my head are
Destiny
Binding of Isaac:Rebirth
Warframe(kinda)
CSGO
TF2

Why is an entire cornfield applying for mod

So my internet provider has told us that our internet will be down until the 19th. It was down for most of yesterday but suddenly started working today? Not sure, but if my activity goes down it's because I may have no internet for the next few days. (n)
You might even be able to just ignore this message if the internet stays up but I don't know to be honest.

Sora has gotten mod so going to go ahead and shut this. Looking forward to seeing how you do!

Ayy so I wasn't going to make a thread because for some reason I thought I had another week, but I had midterms this last week (Just turned in my 12 page Research paper after a solid 7 hour editing session sitting in my school library kill me unironically plz) obviously with only being able to study for anything at school I had to be there at least 6 hours a day last week so I might not make the 14 hour minimum by monday. If I'm being honest I'm super anxious to play and theres a decent chance I'll get 14 hours in the next two days, because this week has been that shitty, but I understand getting my activity on the last two days before promo/demo is also shitty on my part, so I just want you to know I'm not going to make a habit out of it.
 
 
Much love and I promise I'll be much more consistent starting tomorrow, and more my usual chill self lol.
 
@Bello @mrnutty12 @Vexx @Sesh

I only want it if at least one trap screams "go back to mexico"

Closed due to OP's request. Donakonda wishes to re-apply in 30 days.

So this is just a for fun thread and not an actual suggestion, incase anyone gets the wrong idea, but long story short in my government class our warm up today was to design an effective leadership structure for any large group of people that would fit on a notecard, and since online communities were allowed I chose xG. Here goes. It's really not that interesting.
 
 
4 CMs, one vote a piece, if tie, goes to council. Council is any odd number of "elder" members who are appointed by CMs, but can be removed with a CM majority vote OR by a community poll of members with %70+ approval, simple council majority breaks tie. Council can deny a promo from DLs by majority vote, with majority quorum, but if the same person is brought up to be promo'd the next cycle, it must be a 70% or higher council vote the second time.
 
 
It doesn't cover everything, but it isn't everyday xG is part of classwork, so I thought it was cool.

Cause I got a haircut today and I was already bothered to talk a stoopid picture. Here's a before/after of my ugly mug I guess

 

 
Holy shit sorry about image size
