Vexx

You were one of our oldest mods, having your position for over a year. Sorry to see you go friend.

Goodbye GamingDylan :^(. In all seriousness, you were a great DM friend, really helped me out with a lot of my problems.

The map is incredibly early in development, there isn't even textures. Even when it does get finished, it's just going to be a normal payload map, the resemblance to the original Overwatch map will be lost.

One of the longest-playing people on xG. Honestly surprised to see this application today. A: 6:10 M: 8:10 +1

Unfortunately there's a high chance we cannot do anything with spawn camping its self without a huge backlash from the community. Spawn camping has always kind of been a thing people in the xG community love. Spawn protection will keep the rules on spawn camping in place, while also making it more fair between the teams when it comes to spawn camping, as people won't die the second their spawn door is opened.

Both servers have their own different communities, merging the two would create a lot of conflict. TGH maps don't go on Pokemon because they're not Pokemon related, Pokemon was made because we had an abundance of Pokemon maps a long time ago that were overly played. TGH has so many maps because it covers more of a general area for games, whereas Pokemon maps cover a small niche for one game. Merging the two would be a mistake, and as long as it keeps population I see no reason for getting rid of Pokemon Trade or TGH.

TGH currently has 5 seconds of spawn protection on all maps, with 7 seconds on Saturn Valley. Most likely Pokemon Trade will have 3-5 seconds of spawn protection, I'll talk to Bello about the specifics of how long if the vote goes through.

As requested by many people, this poll will decide whether we add a spawn protection plugin to Pokemon Trade. You will have one week to vote, only xG members may vote. #ApprovedByBello @Bello, @Vixen, @Parasect, @Kypari Edit: People are under the impression that adding spawn protection will stop spawn camping, so let me re-assure you. Adding spawn protection will NOT stop spawn camping, it will only give each team a fair chance of being able to leave their spawn.

I absolutely love MCMMO, it's probably one of the best plugins out there in my opinion, it adds a whole new level of progression to the game that keeps it enjoyable but balanced.

It's a one day ban, not too bad, though I'd like to hear things from @YeEternalTuna. His ban: Xeno Gamers

The fact that you use the word "snitch" to describe this shows just how much you know about how things work. We're constantly telling people to record evidence of abuse and report it on the forums because staff should know better in the first place. If the incident isn't that bad, staff member gets a slap on the wrist, no harm done. You don't call the reporter a snitch, they're just doing what they're told to do. Using words like that will discourage others from reporting abuse/incidents because they don't want to be known as a "snitch" you see. Communication isn't the problem, the inability to pay attention to the admin handbook is. I try to talk to my DL's/DM's every day about trying to fix current problems because I do personally care a lot about these servers. I report anyone I see abusing their powers or breaking rules, even as a staff member. Edit: Also @Kypari please do not namedrop people, it really does cause a lot of arguments.

Some of the recent behavior from our staff has been quite disgusting if I may be blunt about it. Some seem to forget what micspamming is, others forget how abuse works. Guys I can't stress this enough, read the admin handbook, it'll really help you out in the long run. I'd even recommend keeping it open in the background or something, just in case you're unsure on how you handle a situation. There's also nothing wrong with asking other staff members what might be abuse or breaking rules, asking questions is never a bad idea. Also always remember to record any demos in case you think someone might abuse/break rules, evidence is the best thing you could possibly get if you want to keep these things from happening in the future.

You were banned for trolling. Based on your name history, found here: Player Information | Xeno Gamers , you had used an [xG:M] Tag, which is staff impersonation. Based on your chat history, Player Chat History | Xeno Gamers , you were also being incredibly toxic. -1 for unban, also you had provided no proof but your own words for your protest, and It's also a 1 day ban, it's not even that bad. @Goblins @mrnutty12

I'm going to have to disagree with you about that moosty. If there's anything I've learned, it's that the players make the server. Every server kinda draws its community around a few players because they're interesting or fun to be around. I wouldn't blame maps or bad plugins or anything on a server dying, it's just the community lost its interest. With so many other games out there and more releasing every day, you can't exactly expect all tf2 servers to keep a stable population after this long. It's been proven that we can populate any server if we just get a few people in it, those may being a select few personalities. If the whole "maps make the server" concept were true, TGH probably would've lost a lot of population when Nimbusland was removed. Besides, there's nothing wrong with trying something new at this point, it'll at least give a bit more variety to us.

@Bello

I don't think this would be realistically possible. xG doesn't have a lot of map makers, and I don't think the ones we do have would want to do something as difficult as this. This would take a lot more coding, mapping, and scripting than you think. You'd also have to find a way for each of those "game modes" to have their own restrictions and not overlap with another game modes restrictions. There's nothing stopping you from attempting something like this on your own time, though, I'd do more research to see if other servers have done this type of idea. Unfortunately I don't think a completely new and unique server would be the best idea anyway, keeping core community game-modes will generally keep population as they're already established and often-played.

You seem to talk like you're on TGH really often. Based on your chat history, [MEDIA=imgur]a/do8Qi[/MEDIA], you've only had 3 total connects this month alone. And going on what you said in your chat history, there was at least one time that you've connected that nobody was warned for saying "kys", so I wouldn't say it's literally every time. Though, considering that whopping 6.4 hours in the past two weeks you have on TF2, I don't really think you get enough activity to actually know the servers and what goes on in them. Maybe you should come around to TGH more often egossi and see how me and @Vixen handle things, instead of coming when we're offline to BM the two of us. Now lets stop derailing this thread and figure out how to keep the dead servers populated, instead of complaining about how others handle their staff positions.

Well we could always go with the ever-popular Randomizer or x10. As for a personal suggestion, an old community game-mode I played was Huntsman Hell. Here's a video that explains Huntsman Hell pretty well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTu23_QKvwg

The general MOTD was last edited in February, those have been the rules for quite some time now.

I know it's possible as I've seen it done on other servers, just not sure how it was done. I'm sure there's a plugin floating around that has the option, I'll keep an eye out.

I don't think you've played on TGH as of late, @Vixen and I have done a great job at keeping the people over on there in line with the toxicity and whatnot. As for the dead servers, I have noticed that if you get about 4-5 people on a server, a lot more people will join. Populating servers isn't hard, we just need to find people who will spend their time on there, and actually join when it's dead to help get the population rolling. VSH is a server I've been really wanting to see surge in population as it is a game mode I really do enjoy. The wario-ware server is generally always dead, sometimes gets a few people. Trade events isn't even used for it's original purpose which was as xG TF2 hasn't had any events in a while.

Can we get a plugin that disallows the ability to spray over another players spray? This would help us staff members out so we don't have to fish through a pile of sprays on one spot.

Since as of late I've been playing a bit of Minecraft with a small group of friends of mine, I do quite enjoy Towny as it does have a nice co-op feel to it. I don't really enjoy PvP myself though, I can see why others would like it.

After seeing in-game, I've seen that this user is incredibly toxic. -1 A: 6/10 M: 4/10
