Its on 3 discord servers im in and half the time I forget its there. Only thing that pops up is when someones pokemon levels up which is small.

Yeah and you’re even able to mute that with a specific command 

some examples of what it looks like

Random pokemon spawn just by talking in discord, many discord servers already have this bot added being one of the many favorited bots.  No pokeballs required it's just buy whoever type p!catch (name) first.  you're able to level up pokemon just by talking too and even have the chance to catch your favorites and battle with friends

If you're worried about pokemon spawning everywhere it even comes with the ability of being set to just one channel so everything pokemon related can be done there

You're making it sound like it was our intention to come here and cause chaos, pretty sure this whole thing blew up after tuna and I were hanging out on surf again.  It was the fact that so many different staff were pretty much doing what they felt like was right regardless of what the rules even said.  So many things were unjustified and no one seemed to be on the same page.  This whole situation blew up even more once Tuna decided to become a staff member to possibly help out some of the loose ends.  Yes things can always be handled better but some of the things you guys are saying against him were after the fact of questioning his past events.  It's ridiculous honestly and that's what frustrated me the most and made me step in as well.  Some of you didn't even try to actually get to know him beforehand and labeled him immature, toxic, whatever the name is now.  Anyways that's not the main point.  There's more to just "The Tuna Group" if you things it's just our small friend circle starting fire.  A lot of people were and are still upset on how things were handled before this all started.  Yes things should be more basic and carefree, we are a gaming community just like you said, but obviously as we all know there will be complications

Caribou I don't know what you meant by our personal friend group defending Jackie and coming in to rescue her with +1's.  You're making assumptions there because if you actually looked, none of us said anything at all for that thread.  One person reacted to some post, and that's it.  You're absolutely no better either.  Listen I'm all for giving people a chance to change and character develop but you can criticize and point fingers all you want but you're still just as bad.  Don't claim that you've matured or changed when you still go out of your way to try and bait people into anger and stir drama.  I'm not pointing my finger or trying to blame xG's problems on your friend group either which was crudely labeled "furry"  None of us knew someone *cough cough* @LemonVolt was going to do that  >:\  

To anyone who reads this I'm willing to start over on a better foot with some of you guys.  No one wants drama in a place where you're supposed to unwind after all, but when things feel sorta..unfair, it's hard to prevent regrettable statements or action

What do you mean by arguing exactly, because there’s a difference between criticism and actual arguments that some people may not understand. You say it happens everytime he’s on with you so you must have several examples  @Nozomi

servers are kinda like this majority of the time, so I wouldn't see why asking to play on different servers is even mentioned

I mean, there's 2.5 active servers. Not much to really go around if you think about it.

We rely on the community for funding, population, and general environment.

TLDR/Seg is stupid and doesn't make sense: We don't loose anything in the grand scheme of things by disabling demo charge AIA but if we don't, we possibly run the risk of loosing server population from the players that are as you said - crying - about it

There a actual examples on exploitation on surf, like abusing the low grav in certain maps like crazyfrog, that's actual exploiting because it's able to give you an advantage over the map or players. The charging has no benefit besides just being silly for 20 seconds.  It's not harmful, it's not useful, it's just simple fun.

Also trying to claim that people will leave after that's done is a far reach.  Surf is one of the most populated tf2 servers next to tgh.  Plus what I mean for crying about is someone saying "that's loud" when they are standing basically in the corner where the demos are.  No one ever actually leaves or cries about it once the round actually starts.

What people still don't seem to grasp is that you are able to walk away. If it annoys someone to the point where they feel the need to cry they arent bound to that platform, they can move.  It's not killing anyone, it's not disrupting balance, it's NOT an exploit, it's just noise.  That's it.

 it is more "harmful" than other exploits, meaning it has the potential to be game ruining. Not saying that is the case now, but if it evolves into something worse, there will be worse consequences

There isn’t a way for the charge to be harmful considering it’s mostly done in the farthest corner of spawns, and that anyone is physically able to walk away or simply move slightly to hear. There is literally no way for it to stem something worse since it’s pretty cut and dry. There is also no way for it to be game ruining since majority of players do not even load in for the full 20 seconds and the map resets everyone back to spawn and wasd frozen. The chance of something happening in that time span is slim to none, you can’t even finish any of the surf maps in that time.

-1 because I’m going to correct some things (sorry if formatting turns garbage I’m on my phone) 

1.its not a supply cabinet, it’s just demoman himself

2.its only 20 seconds at best if you connect right away

3.its not even as loud as you’re making it out to be, all you have to do is distance yourself a tiny bit to hear whoever is talking, what you’re saying with not being able to hear anyone is if you’re charging yourself. 

4.its not an exploit because everything else is given infinite ammo, which so happens to include charge.

Honestly the amount of people who are genuinely upset about this is so small compared to the amount of people who don’t care at all. Is it really that hard to simply l, idk, walk 2 steps away from a charging demo. It’s literally only 20 seconds out of a whole 25 minutes on surf. Majority of players don’t even load in at that time. Getting rid of this continues on how nitpicky some people are about the slightest fun.

here's what the countdown sounds like

who in their right mind would do this for fun

my nickname is Nat because my name is Natalie...the nit part just sounded cool I guess

Bumping this thread for a quick reason,

for the few who think we should just remake the MOTD, it is NOT easy to just write rules that will not need to be touched on in the future

This is completely understandable, I'm sure creating a motd from scratch is as fun as a bed of nails.  My only suggestion involving with the rules is that there are (what feels) like invisible rules.  From rejoining surf with a few friends, there seems to be rules I've never seen; or have been enforced in a long time are just showing up out of the blue.  From that "immature voice" situation to even an exploit rule on surf today involving quick spawning.  The guy who did this genuinely didn't even know it was against the rules along with majority of the server.  Yeah, you can argue that quick spawning and killing is under combat exploit rules, which I'm somewhat agreeing with; my pet peeve is the problem with such broad and vague rules. You can't assume every new member has common sense or just know every rule under the sun. There are just too many implied rules that newcomers to xG will not know of.  Heck, I didn't even know of it til tonight.  All I'm really trying to say is not to have so many implications in the rules, to be more straight forward to specific problems and to be a little more cut and dry.  At least in the end that leaves little room for any biased behavior with staff now or in the future.

HOW DARE YOU

for future reference, no one uses this in my application or I'm going to have a screaming contest with @LAN_Megalodon

I'm sorry I thought 7 was an average number plus I hate the A:? M:? thing myself

I didn't really know you too well when you were first member, I always only heard of things before you left but never really experienced them head on, so I didn't really care.  But from what I've seen recently, and you attempting to join back, you seem pretty cool. By cool I mean you're mellow and just neat to be in a server with.  The few times I've caught you on surf and the forums you sound more lighthearted and and comical. So yeah, I think you deserve it a fat +1 . Good luck on the rest my man A:7 M:9

"No immature voices" is no longer related to the actual age of the persons on mic and is now used as more of a method of dealing with people who intentionally use an exaggerated voice to irritate people.

You're just restating what's already been mentioned by someone else.  The "exaggerated voice" on servers is clearly not to irritate someone.  I've seen a few examples of it being for humor that should've annoy anyone in the first place.  I was even told today "no immature voice allowed" when I answered a question to a surf friend today in a slightly higher pitch than my normal voice in one sentence.  I didn't have the intent behind to annoy anyone with it but as a little burst of humor to lighten to mood of the surf in general, but seeing how up in the air the current "rule" of that is, it creates a no fun allowed feeling in the servers.

Just don't play victim on your high horse man, it's just genuine criticism for things you've done that you aren't handling professionally.  You can improve on these things still instead of straight throwing a fit and giving up.
