Ill tag you all in the conversation, easier than moving it to a thread. @Vector @Aegean @Nomulous @Bleed

I've created a discussion with Rhodo a little while ago, like he asked, and nothing ever came of it. I explained why the server was heading in a bad direction and how Vertex was ignoring all admins and players on the server, not working with us, and basically telling us "it's my way or the highway" despite the fact I've been helping him with the server since it was launched. The mods are inactive. If you are talking about Legion and Gamstoby, they play very rarely and barely moderate. Everyone else is gone, including your new Division Manager and specifically because of you're new fascist way of moderating. We were willing and able to hold the position. The only issue here is that you decided that banning people is evil no matter what the circumstances. How are we supposed to enforce rules on the server when the server owner specifically tells us not to ban players, and if we do we get punished. Do you know how many RDM's/Mass RDM's i've seen lately where the RDM isn't punished? Do you know how many players I see complaining and bitching at you to do something about the RDMing? The most insane thing is that you MUTE the players who are complaining while letting the RDMer keep playing. You are making the server fun for rule breakers and miserable for regular players. Why do you not trust the mods and players who have been playing and helping you with the server for years? No one agrees with your way of moderating, Makr and I have told you specifically why this is an awful way to run a server, but you ignore us and take away my mod for banning RDMers. What a great direction we're heading in; No active mods, no Division Manager, unhappy player base. But why do other players get to come on the server and ruin the game for everyone? Like I've stated RDM's are happening all the time and you do nothing about it. Why is there special bias when it comes to me breaking the rules and most other players can get away with it? You're not moderating fairly and equally, you pick and choose who get's muted (those who disagree with you and are angry about RDM) and banned, otherwise your ban list would be a lot larger. I was demoted because I would punished players and you randomly out of the blue thought that was evil, despite us doing it and it working for years. I feel like ignoring RDM and muting those who YOU find annoying isn't an improvement at all. Only thing I agree with, these people don't know anything about GMOD/Morbus and don't really care either, which is fine, just makes me wonder why we're part of this clan in the first place.

Not an admin anymore, most the admins left because Vertex is crazy and you dipshits ignore all the complaints about him.

Division: Garrys Mod In-Game Name: Johnny Sands Steam ID: Steam Community :: Johnny Sands Ban Type: Server Ban Information: I was slayed and banned for light spamming even though I didn't do it. @Vertex banned me without even checking who was spamming the lights.

That wouldn't make it more realistic, but it would make the glow stick mechanic more interesting, and players would have to be more careful with the use of the glowsticks. Would also make the lights going off and your flashlight running out have a bit more impact, which imo, is a good thing. Have to keep in mind this would be a huge nerf to the glowsticks, and less players would likely use them as a result. I'm not against the change though, just have to see how the players feel if you try it out.

I agree with removing the secret rooms, changing the traps so that they don't kill, and adding additional paths to several of the rooms. imo the Swarm spawn as a whole needs to be inaccessible to humans. Really the biggest problems with Spaceship as I see it are the Secret rooms and Showers. Just removing the secrets and adding an additional way into showers will solve the balance issues with the map itself. I don't see the armory to be that good of a camping spot, as the group can rush and overwhelm you from around the corner, or just simply Brood Nade you, but adding another path to it still wouldn't be a bad idea. It has some serious balance issues. It has 3 camping spots (4 if you count armory) that are very hard for the aliens to enter and then kill whoever inside, has a campable swarm spawn which I used to get complaints about regularly, and has a laser trap that forces you to take the long way around to the top half of the map when the server is populated. I think people just liked playing it because the map was easy to learn, easy to camp, and you could win without having to group up, move around the map, and work as a team.

@NekoBaron I liked the cosmetic/atmospheric changes to the map personally. However, there were a few hallways covered in purple textures and I believe the random Brood screams should be removed as well, because humans hearing the Brood screams will either try to track down that Brood OR stay away from the area they heard the screams. The way players move around the map, react, and ultimately play shouldn't be dictated by false sounds in a map, but actual sounds the opposing team makes.

Xeno Gamers you were banned by @Makr6e6 for 1 year for "Mass RDM with buddy, spiting warnings" on April 30th 2016. Based on this Ban Reason, it seems like you and a friend were consistently breaking rules even though you were warned to stop, and then decided to Mass RDM. If Makr could comment on the situation that would be good.

Bad layout, confusing, gravity lift didn't work well, and that was the unique thing about the map. Nothing you can do to fix it unless you want to open Hammer. It really doesn't matter what WE think about anything, if the players themselves don't seem to like something, then you should do your best to appease them. In this case, they didn't seem to like Horizon, so instead of repeatedly putting it back on the server and hoping for a different result, it's probably best to leave it off.

Years ago it was considered a bad map, and the short time we had it on our server, every time I was there to play it it was !rtv'd. Since you just got Skandalon and Turbatio back I wouldn't recommend putting a map with such a bad reputation back on the server.

My recommendations for Tooltips, feel free to add to them and add more if you think of any. Gameplay: "Press V to Transform and C to Upgrade as an Alien." "Shooting as a Brood Alien does 1/3'rd damage, lowers your Sanity, and does not infect the players you kill." "New players can read guides by pressing F1 and F2" Commands: "COMMANDS: !motd for rules, // for OOC, @ for Admin Chat, F3 for Pointshop and Settings, /spec to enter spectator mode." Forums: "Join us and give your feedback at xenogamers.com today!" "If you are interested in becoming a moderator, contact the staff using Admin Chat [@] or add ᵡᴳḽᴰᴹ Doctor Gringo (and @Stickz if you want them to add you) on Steam." As for timings, you should be able to get through every tip in one map, so maybe start off at every 3 minutes and see how that goes. Also have it in some sort of order, I recommend how I have it now, go from Gameplay - Commands - Forums.

We don't have a JB Gmod server and you didn't come up on the Morbus GameTracker. Do you play on our Morbus servers?

@Stickz

Looks good. I agree.

I'm willing, but I can only see the current map, so I am not able to look through and see which maps have images missing.
