If I made add, sorry not trying to double post here, is that you guys are going to need some heavy marketing to redirect everyone to Xg. A lot of people beat our FF2 servers by a long shot. Game Variety Rotation is something no one really does.So instead of having a normal rotation, having Murder, hidden, etc. on our servers could be very fun. 
Do you guys have any time frames, or plans layed out yet, because we can talk all day, but unless there is an actual time frame initiative/ project, this will always just stay as talking.

I think it's also important to note, that this should be just about the game itself either, as TF2 in general is dying off. We need something to bring players in and a reason to play the game. As it stands right now, there are not a lot of active American servers as much as their used to be. We need to keep up a YouTube channel that represents the server/game well in order to increase the player base as a whole. Having a game mode rotation server would be a must this way we wouldn't have to get rid of dead servers, instead we could place them on rotation to encourage variety, and prevent bland game play for longer than 20 minutes. If we can't get them to actively play for 20 minutes, they are not going to want to stay for 5.

Gunna miss you buddy, you have been great

That is a beautiful shower curtain

+1 Defiantly a good sport, and we need people like her who play late. Very mature and active, and plays on almost every active server so far
She is very fit for this position #LateNightMods

Well bone all I have to say is that I am going to miss you, I have learned a lot and changed as a person just as you. I only wish to have your talented vocal cords. I give you the best of luck, and want you to chase the dreams you deserve. Have a good life, but I still might pester you on steam ❤️
I shall miss your fanfictions bone ?

holy crap sorry why did I get here then? Well sorry for the grave dig, someone should really lock these. ( I was also just trying to be ironically funny so sorry if I honestly offended you tekage )

I feel like this is a common issue in xG, Left and right laptops and computers are breaking, and I feel more and more inclined to think it's because the FBI found a huge stach of loli porn on your guys' computers

+1 for a week ban, because it's honestly not worth of a perm. Maybe he needs to cool down a bit, but other than that it looks like he is trying to be more edgy and toxic rather than disrespectful.
Also with the ban, maybe someone message him letting him know the reason and extent of the ban, as well as what will happen if he continues. A new approach to bans may not be so bad ?

EEEEHHH BOIYOOOO DON'T TOUCH MY SAKE!! I'M GOING TO PUT AN EYE IN YOU

I still don't post enough selfies, because I don't but bone looks exactly how he sounds , this is a compliment! # Xg will never see me face

I'm leaving xg for good. This is my only and last formal goodbye. In case you didn't know what happened I'll sum it up. 7 months ago now I took a break from being staff for personal reasons that I chose to keep to myself. Tf2 wasn't fun for me at the time. The drama in xg was unbearable at that point. There were several decisions being made that in my opinion weren't in the best interest of the clan. No I'm not going to go into detail about them because I can't be bothered.
I came back roughly a month later 2 weeks after pyro update dropped and it took a lot of time an mulling over to forgive tf2. At this point I was hearing a lot from community members that missed me being staff(not just other staff) and eventually I was convinced to come back to staff. Now since I stepped down quietly I was expecting the process to be easy. It was not. Instead of resuming my position as staff I'm put unfairly into a probationary role solely because of 1 higher up's bias against me. I was being punished for no good reason.
I was assured that it's no big deal I'll most likely get admin back as long as I keep staffing well. I got mod quickly and ended up staying mod for the last 5 months. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. In fact multiple times I even considered just giving up entirely, but I decided to stay for the people in the community who actually appreciate what I do. I stayed because the servers liked having me.
I don't know what the accused hold up is now and quiet frankly I'm over hearing lies and excuses like I have since I first got staff. From the beginning it was "who the fuck is ms. spooks?" "You need to be more established with the community" "you need to do more." "I never see her online so I can't make a good opinion on her" etc. Now keep in mind since I was considerably new staff at the time it wasn't a big deal. However time started passing by and I've watch many staff (you know who you are) go from member to admin before me, and now they're dms before I've even gotten admin back. I kept asking what am I doing wrong and keep getting the same run around. "Nothing, why?" just to be followed up later with some half attempted accuse "Oh you just need to do more." As time went on that clearly didn't end up being the full truth getting comments like "If you did more you'd already be admin" "You're not entitled to admin" "You're too passive" etc. It's not fair that I do the same amount of work as an admin, spend more time than a majority of the mods, and have been an established community member for 2 years without even a blemish.
Now some of you will take this as an outcry because I didn't get a rank that's just slightly better than mod, however my problems run deeper than that. It's not fair that I had to harder than other staff the entirety of my time of being staff. It's not fair that I keep getting pushed aside for other staff who are better at sucking off the higher ups than I am. I'm done playing the charade of "work a little harder" "Do a little more" Because even with the backing of multiple staff and plenty of recommends it clearly doesn't mean jack to you. It's incredibly disrespectful not only to me but other people who have gotten this treatment to string us along like a grunt. I'm not your lackey. I didn't become staff to do your job, and I most certainly don't see anywhere that says I'm supposed to suck you guys off in order to even get looked at. It's beyond hurtful to continue to be punished for things out of my control and more importantly I didn't do.
This is my only request of all of you staff. If you're not my friend and you're only friends with me soley because I'm staff. Get the F U C K off my friends list. Get out of my servers. Get out of my life. I have enough garbage I have to deal with in my life and I don't need more fake people around who don't care about my feelings. Stop pretending to care about what I have to say then just doing the same garbage I'm complaining about. I have rooted for and defended most if not a majority of you even if we haven't been the best of friends. I've stood up for you and I tried to be there when you're down. It's funny to me how people forget the people who rooted for them when they get power.
I have been mulling over for the last couple days what all I'm going to say when inevitably I say goodbye after being shafted again for no good reason. So I'm going to finish this with a list of what xG should improve on.
 
1. Staff are volunteers not lackeys
This "do more" mentality and backwards logic of having more mods than admins is part of a huge issue that doesn't respect your staff equally. despite all staff volunteering their time and efforts to improve the servers and the community. Treating admin as some mystical, magical, special role that's Juuust out of reach feels really really shitty for all the mods who have to work harder than other staff to prove themselves.
 
2. Stop using probationary for no reason.
This is a punishment role. It's used for staff who don't deserve a full demotion but still want to make things right as staff. Likewise It's used for people who have a dirty history. Stop slinging it around for every person who you don't feel like fits the personality mold even when they've done nothing to deserve it. Stop using it as a compromise because 1 higher up doesn't like the person. It should be used to establish wrong doings not "We just trust you a little less."
 
3. Majority matters.
It's been a huge problem for a while where higher ups have to make unanimous decisions. What this means for all the other staff is that if 1 higher up disagrees despite everyone else agreeing on said thing. It won't go through. The voice of one is too strong in this community specially for higher ups who don't go on servers enough to see what is going on or that just choose to disregard the intent of the community and more importantly the other staff. To fix this, it should be that majority rules. It should be that the community or staff vote count for 1 higher up in of themselves, because giving the people no say is what's going to kill the community.
 
4. Be transparent.
All decisions should be clear, concise, and have good *valid* reasons. It should be your goal to be as unbiased, well informed, and clear as possible. This under the table garbage that's been going on is just sleazy. You don't want your real opinions out there and you don't want to be held accountable which quite frankly is an embarrassment to your role. Be open and honest with your staff and not just string them along with excuses everyone knows are lies. If you make a decision you're accountable to that decision. Don't just keep letting everyone else have to figure it out.
 
5. Stop only caring about people in your respective group.
This is a big clan with large divisions and even in tf2 large sub divisions. Its been an issue for a while that surf staff only favor surf staff and tgh staff only like tgh staff. Unfortunately it has even gone as high as the higherups. Just because you haven't played on the servers (which isn't a good idea anyways) doesn't mean you should give only people in your respective server the special treatment. If you want to be taken seriously you have to take others seriously as well. It's ok to get more information to form your own opinion, but it's not ok to say it's not your problem because it's not your server.
 
6. Witnesses matter.
I'm all for innocent until proven guilty, but some of you take this as an opportunity to ignore issues all together because no tangible evidence. Staff witnesses have just as much say as a normal witness, none. It doesn't matter how many people say a person did an action because without proof you're never going to confront the issue. You make no effort to gather more information. It doesn't help when you expect people to be recording EVERYTHING that goes on, and to be honest if you are wanting people who record everything just to nail one person it's a pretty sucky, bandwagony mentality.
 
7. Stop treating other staff like dirt.
This is to all staff. Stop staffing over each other when someone else has it handled. I'm not talking about you both get on at the same time or accidentally warn at the same time. I'm talking that another staff handled the call, they're already trying to resolve the issue, and you jump in gung hoe and start shafting them. It's not acceptable. Trust the staff members to do their job. Unless you have to make a decision that involves perms only you have as staff it should not be happening that staff are stepping on each others toes. Likewise, Mods are volunteers. Means they donate their time and energy into the servers just like you. Stop talking down to staff who are a lower rank and stop kicking them around because you can. Stop rubbing your rank in their face. They get it. It's not acceptable to disregard another staff as a whole just because they're a lower rank.
 
 
8. Share the interest of the community not just yourself.
There has been many times where higher ups have made decisions under the table that are looked at negatively by the community or ultimately effected them negatively. Yes we get you like this one plugin idea and the other higher ups are all for it, but when you implement it out of nowhere and it effects the players to the point of complaining about it that's not in the interests of them. Part of making the community a better place is by making it unified, and when you keep making decisions that effect a mass in the community you create division.
 
With all of that in mind I want nothing to do with this community anymore. If you're really my friend you'll accept that. I'm not going to keep getting a run around, doing your jobs, and investing time and energy into a clan who doesn't care about me back. I'm not looking for a debate here. I'm not justifying any of my points. I'm not going to bother responding so don't bother baiting for a response. No I'm not changing my mind. I don't know if I'll ever come back to xg after all that it's put me through. I don't want your excuses so don't bother sending them to me. I may still come on the servers once in a while but you're not going to get much out of me here. Goodbye xg.

Haven't posted in this thread for like a year, so here you go:

I am looking for a change in character and Maturity, and from what I am shown Tatost is not fit for the position, he is just toxic.
 
 
Tatost insisted on harassing someone for an apology.
Look I understand it's been a month since his membership, but that's not enough to someone change
 
And If Tatost deserves a second chance for the mighty duck incident, then atleast give rejects another chance as well, I am sure it's been a long wait deserved. If you want to talk about dedication for the communtiy Rejects had it like no other. I hold everyone to the same expectation , whether it be my opinion or not, Tatost just hasnt reached it.

Look All I am honestly trying to put out is that this user was banned for 2 months, and has only been a member for 1. I believe it would be best to wait out before jumping to modship right away. Whether my -1 stands or not. Tatost has to fix the way he does things before becoming a moderator and 3 months in total should not be enough to see this change.
In the end it does not matter what I think or believe, but I am just voicing a portion of the community.
If you don't want a waiting period, just put him on probation, as He has broken the rules to deserve a ban, meaning he has an issue with following the rules in which he is suppose to be upholding.

I am not sure if I have a say but -1 .
tatost lies about knowing who manly duck is and tells everyone who knows to lie and then gets kicked out completely for harassing staff. Rejects adds some extra power and now has no chance while tatost is applying to be a mod. IT HAS BEEN A MONTH since he was a member, that is complete bs.
 
I also would like to point out this thread
Goodbye For Now | Xeno Gamers
 
I would also like to point out that the majority of staff are friends this decision is way to bias.
In the end I don't think 1 month is clear enough to see change.
If there is barley any time to see change in Rejects, then there is no way Tatost is mature enough!
