Hello everyone, it is both my pleasure and displeasure to announce some upcoming changes to xG's CS division.
Summer '16
Over the next month or so, xG will be introducing many new changes.
Minigames
There will be a new minigames server! As many of you know, I have been in development of our new MG server with the help of Bleed, Lithium, Silence, and a few beta-testers. As of now the server is currently locked and definitely not finished. Do NOT beg Bleed, Lithium, Silence, Chrono, myself, or anyone else for the password.
I will be taking suggestions for gamemodes/maps/plugins/features/etc, so please give any input :)
The IP is 72.5.195.149 and there will be an announcement thread when it is officially open to the public.
Jailbreak
Based on player feedback, predator day will be completely reworked.
There also will be some changes to the current JB maplist. Feel free to make suggestions!
I've also considered improving the JB rules - less changing specific rules and more clarifying the rules already in place.
Hub
Soon™
Surf(s)
Due to the introduction of minigames, it seems like one of the surf servers will have to be removed. Feedback is welcome about this, although most seem to lean more towards removing Skill Surf. Keep in mind this is 100% uncertain.
With the possible removal of one of these servers, we will also be looking to improve both (or whichever one stays) immensely. This includes a rehaul of maps and plugins.
Staff
We are looking for more and better staff members, whether its old staff, current staff, or completely new staff. If anyone's interested, please contact any of the DM/DLs of CSGO or apply yourself. (it's also encouraged to apply for member!)
All changes will be announced when they come - may it be through the promo/demo, announcement threads, or the current ongoing patch note thread.
Cracking Down, Again
Lastly, I will reinstate what Chrono posted in January about admin abuse. This is not directly targeted at anyone, and if you have any questions please contact me (I'm on forums, steam, and ts pretty much always). I expect all staff to take this post into consideration, and failure to do so will be reflected in the upcoming Promo/Demos.
In the last few weeks I've personally witnessed and heard reports of staff doing the following:
muting/unmuting themselves to speak when they are normally muted (start of round, dead) (also see: all chat abuse)
-this is one of the big offenses here. muting/unmuting yourself interrupts the flow of the round, and 99% of the time can be resolved in either all chat (@), admin pm (@@user), or speaking when it is convenient to everyone else. everyone is still permitted to speak when they feel necessary, but please take the rest of the server into consideration.
ignoring players or vocally dismissing them - also disrespecting others
-I know that some players can be frustrating, but staff are expected to help all players on the server, no matter what your opinion on their maturity is. Staff may absolutely never be ""toxic"" to our players.
banning xG members/staff for no reason
-kicking is fine, I want you guys to have your fun, but random teambans/bans does not look too attractive in sourcebans (I will restate do NOT kick others at random)
breaking server rules because you feel staff are above the law
-speaks for itself, seen a lot of this too.
poor knowledge of rules
-if any of you are unsure about rules, please either double check or simply ask Bleed, Lithium, Chrono, or myself. We do not want there to be confusion about the rules. It is completely fine if you happen to forget things, just make sure you are 100% correct before acting on it, whether this is banning people or telling others what you think the rules are.
inactivity
-this isn't abuse, but its clear that at least half of the mods literally never get on. Originally, the policy was "if the server is well then all is well", but we're currently looking to go above and beyond that. Having half of the staff roster completely unknown to the playerbase is nowhere near ideal. There won't be an hour requirement or anything, but cmon... 1 hour in 4 weeks?
Essentially, staff are meant to take care of the server and ensure that everyone is able to enjoy their time playing on it. Keep in mind, we aren't gonna go super nazi admin on everyone. Feel free to have your fun, just use common sense. You are not above xG, its players, or its rules.
Quick note to everyone: the current cs staff roster is being heavily reconsidered. Take that as you will.
This Wednesday (June 29th) at 3:30 PST, I'll be unlocking minigames for everyone. Stop by!
I'm in need of some beta testers as the server nears it's completion point.
There is about 60~ maps with a good mix of multigames/random minigames/courses. The server will be featuring the in-beta hub (no, you probably won't be able to buy anything) our own custom RTD that replicates CS:S (isn't broken, but no promises), and some unique map gamemodes (rocket jump, hide and seek).
It'll be locked up again after Wednesday, so don't miss it. :) The official release should be within the upcoming weeks.
