welcome back you fucking disgrace to society

thought it was going to be the hoax about don't add a guys name because hes a virus and will hack you lol :D
 
I don't play any other servers except xG and official ones anyway so I'm safe.

Hi, let me introduce myself.
I'm Martin Luther Memer.
 
Let me start off by saying this, ignore OP. He's a sociopath that plays a champion known as "shaco" in a popular game known as "league of legends." With that out of the way, I will introduce my one step plan to resurrect old XenoGamers and replenish it's formal glory!
 
Kill yourselves.
No, really. Kill yourself.

On a more serious note, xG will never be the same as it was, that much is obvious. What really made xG was the community, the people. After those people left, we were stuck with a slightly above average JB server. xG was a fire. The people who made JB fun were the spark, once we lost that spark all that was left were a few logs and some tinder. We can improve server plugins as much as we want, if nobody likes the people there then whats the point?
And here's your Aegean meme of the day, made by @Duke awhile ago.

HI :waving: nice to meet you

+1 great in game name, has mic.
 
But seriously deserves unban.

I have never actually seen you before. Name all of the xG servers that you play, please.

For sure.

I agree with the teamspeak segregation. Whatever happened to rooms filled with upwards of 20 people in it, each playing different games? Some of the funniest shit happened in those channels.

yeah thats the reason I left. I was 100% dedicated, I did everything I could to make the TF2 gaming history servers a success. I helped everything as best I could with server rules and/or how to register on the site and apply to join. I even spent time writing up rules and guides for the new trade servers. But the leaders thought none of that mattered because I got angry once or twice so I'm not worthy of a mod despite all I did.

Ah, so many of you here with with your +1's! Thank you all ever-so much for your consideration, support, and forgiveness. Thank you!

That's why mod applications were great before you had to donate to use one. It made your interest known without shoving it down people's throat. Also, EVERYONE was able to have a say. It would, for the most part, be decided by the community. Both times, my mod came from an application. Stating my interest, having people vote, and then getting it and doing my absolute best with it. And, yes I am still bitter about being demo'd for inactivity as I don't find that a good enough reason to be demo'd, especially when you are hurting for, in my opinion, good mods/admins.

Come back and be our Co-Leader again @Aegean Q_Q

So just a quick introduction. I joined the xG community december 2010/jan 2011, was co-leader for about 2-3 years and then left due to disagreements towards my fellow higherups. You might know me by Link if not by Aegean. I had a very good history with this clan with exception to duplolas having powers, and then darkwolf having powers, cuz they were retards. Anyways.
 
Why is xG not the same as it once was? It's easy to blame rhododendron/silence for alot of it, but that's not it. He might have caused some shit, but it's not him that's preventing xG to get back to its former glory.
 
1. It's the staff themselves. If you go back to 2011-2013, it wasn't silence alone that was keeping the servers populated and fun, it was the members. The biggest thing was the members who were keen on being staff, and once being promoted, having a positive influence. I remember when jailbreak and other servers had 5-6 + staff on all the time (except for the late night, where myself, cristo and other night owls would populate and play if we were bored) The biggest thing is the staff don't care anymore about bettering the server. You know what I don't see? Mods and Admins constantly asking higher up what they have to do to be promoted. It's true I'm not staff anymore so it might be behind the scenes now, but I remember how active staff were on forums, always asking members what they want from the server, and even people pming me and other higherups for an "operation populate (deathrun)" or w.e . The biggest thing is from talking to many members, and even staff themselves, promotions are much more skewed then they used to be. It's not so much how active you are or how good you are in server, it's more who your friends with, and who you talk to in teamspeak.
 
2. People don't care. Look at the forums. There are so many posts that are stickied but not updated, or stickied that should be removed. I made a post about what the different levels of staff do for this community, and what you can ask them for help with. As higherups, you need to be constantly looking to see what you can do to make this community better. If this isn't your goal while being a higher up, then you should step down or re-evaluate your position. You aren't higher-ups so you can abuse on TS or forums, and just be the shield for your friends when something gets called out against them. You are there to set an example, and make sure EVERYONE (this is key) has a great experience in the servers and community, and that they would want to join and even invite their friends into the clan. This also means that you can't bend rules to appeal to one group of people (example the furries or bronies who don't like being insulted) but then allow NSFW avatars that are actually against the rules because (that's just my opinion). You guys need to understand that you represent the community, as soon as people go "ouu i'm gonna go check out another community" you fucked up possibly many new recruits, ad sense, and donation money.
 
3. Everyone is segregated. Look at teamspeak and look at the ridiculous amount of black lists and passwords in the channels. A select few staff almost never go into a public channel, and that is also very upsetting to newer members who want to meet staff and others and want to play other games with other fellow clan members. I mentioned this a few times, but this is a ridiculous thing that I should be bringing up time and time again. Staff need to acknowledge the newer members, and play games with them or even create events. Before the Cozy boys (Billy, Trif, Rpgs, etc) and I quit, Rpgs had the idea of making a community night. Once a week, we choose a few servers, set up an event to all of xG (through the forums and steam group) and just spend a few hours with the community. Anyone is welcome to join, and just play some games that aren't populated as much. (xG Minigames for example)
 
What does this do?
1. You introduce members to a new game mode that they potentially might like and come back often too, and
2. The members get to meet others (staff, members or just randoms) and get to have fun and feel like they really are in a community.
 
You have nothing to lose from this, you lose 0 resources and you get the community involved; something this community hasn't really done in a long time. You can provide incentives to coming if you can, if not just have fun and play games. This can also prove valuable to members and staff who are looking to be promoted but are often unseen to the people that they need to be seen by.
 
This will not return xG to it's former glory, but it's a start. Once the staff start acting like staff, and stop being spoiled brats who are power-happy at any slight discomfort, this community can lead to the right path back to competing to be one of the top gaming communities on steam. If you disagree or would like to add any points, please I urge you to start a conversation. This is how change starts, from people talking. Thanks for the long read, there is no tl;dr because if you don't wanna read it, you don't care.

Warrior and Asock, there's no reason to be so rude, honestly its starting to be very disrespectful and I am greatly offended. All you all do is harass whoever you can get to respond to you guys. I responded to the original thread with no rude remarks, no insults, nothing. I responded asking for a better look into ASocks side of the story. The second I do that you all attack me. You take for granted the things that people do to make this a better place. You attack those that honestly do the best they can.
 
I'd appreciate it if you could all just stop for once. I have no problem with people voicing an opinion and standing by it, but what you guys do is shameful. You put people down. I should have banned a majority of you all a long time ago for the disrespect and harassment.
 
Seriously, stop. Just stop. The fact that you can't see the person on the other side of the forum doesn't mean they aren't affected. You would never pull this stuff in real life, or at least I hope not.
 
If your goal has been to ruin my night, you have gone above and beyond that, so congrats. I actually feel like shit because of it. So thanks a lot.

I have been a middle man for unusual spy crabs and other high stakes before.
 
Too bad I don't have my mod powers to host these tho huh?

get rid of jailbreak

Wow... This is really a bunch of B.S. first off Kitty created a whole shit load of drama about being bullied, yet above she posted a fun song for StarmiX. Secondly really this is the reality of it. Kitty you are leaving cause you did not get Moderator back on TF2. Cause of #RageQuit. You will be missed but c'mon. That really just shows alot. ~Slinker with a opinion and not being Switzerland all neutral.

Kitty. I really don't want you to go; I know you want to. However, that does not mean that you have to spam this thread with pointless shit and make fun of others.
There was an alternate path to dealing with what happened with FoRgE, Moosty, Kendrick (etc), which was to ignore them the whole way through.
You brought it upon yourself.
Please, stop spamming this thread and just let this be a normal goodbye thread rather than a darude - shitstorm.

pls don't close OP's request. I need more goodbyes!

-1 I disapprove of this thread

So you're disrespectfully saying you never disrespect? and expected mod back? and when you didnt get it back you rage quit?
 
So with all that, what makes you think we ever planned to give you mod back, which is a privilege, not a right. you don't get mod just for playing on servers, you get it for being respectful and enforcing the rules.

Woah! I didn't get tagged? Well farewell. :confused:
 
ALSO we need to figure out the new Trade Prince or Princess :sleep:
I nominate @Tomohawk for Trade Princess and Josh Finally 13 for Trade Prince.
