Anyways, im just going to do one of the unban challenges 🙂

yeah but he was cool. and he didnt come off as a whiny child.
evading punishment could be leaving the server before and admin issues punishment. it could also be that you hacked on your alt account (which in your previous ban protest thread, you stated you used an alt), then came back on your main account which is considered evading punishment.

if you do one of the unban challenges my comment won't matter, but in the case that you don't:
-1 we are (usually and supposed to be) super against cheaters/hackers in this community. hacking is one thing, but to evade punishment as well is a yikes from me.
Also hacking is not a joke. its not funny. it never is funny.

you don't need to revoke you're membership to leave. having the member role doesn't tie you down lol. you can keep being a member, just not an active one

Old School Pasta Carbonara
 
 
Boil a handful of pasta
While pasta is cooking, chop up bacon into roughly 1/2 to 1 inch pieces and pan cook on medium high heat. 
After bacon is cooked 85% of the way strain excess grease (leave some for cooking veggies) add mushrooms and whatever other vegetables you want to cook into the pan and cook them out. 
When all veggies and bacon are cooked out remove from heat, add pasta and 3 egg yolks, and 3-5 tablespoons butter and mix to incorporate. 
Add Parmesan cheese, and pepper (taste and check for salt. Bacon should make plenty of salt for it.) mix and eat.
 
makes 2 large portions

The CSGO legend is back, and I can say since my departure the server has fucking died. I love you all.

















Fuck TF2 and anyone that likes it remotely. ❤️

Bruh shut the fuck up there is no tyranny just a punch of toxic people yelling at each other. Just wait for the filter to unclog as the server slower transitions away from toxicity.

Fellow xG members...I come before you but a humble victim of tyranny. Many of us have been wronged by this tyranny. Some of us continue to propagate this tyranny. Some of us just sit back and watch as our community burns.
My fellow gamers and oppressed gamers, I come to you  with a fiery heart and resilient soul...today we rise!
They say history is written by the Viktor but I'm here to tell you that today, we shall henceforth no longer be subjugated by this tyranny and that history will show us to be the true arbiters of freedom, peace and prosperity. Make no mistake...there will be casualties, my fellow gamers, from both the oppressors and the wrongfully oppressed; for the color of freedom, peace and prosperity is blood.
If we wish to write our names indelibly into the pages of history, we mustn't allow our resolve to waver. We must remain united and our spirit indomitable, for this tyranny is unlike the world has ever seen. The oppressed of xG have a rendezvous with destiny. I leave you with an excerpt of one of the greatest speeches of the last 100 years so that you can ultimately fathom how crucial the forthcoming fight for our freedom is...
 
Unban us from #funny-cats, @virr.

@Caleb956 It seems strange that you got reported for abusing admin powers you weren't supposed to have just a little while ago but you apparently have the decency to explain to us what a community is supposed to be about.
The servers and this community specifically is based on the key idea that we want people to make friends and have fun while dedicated members willingly give up their FREE time to help moderate our servers. Server populations for custom servers on valve games are at an all-time low, and everyone is constantly growing and changing the games they play. 

Instead of forcing people to have resentment towards us and trying to force members to keep servers populated in games that they don't want to play, we would rather work with higher ups and either figure out solutions i.e. trying out a game that people want to play, or letting people do their own thing on our discord and trying to get people to have fun. Recently, we had a 15 person Rust group about 3 weeks ago, and we are constantly playing golf-it or other party games that people join. There are plans for Gmod in the works for months now because we want it to be good, and we also are ALWAYS open to suggestions. 
The idea that our servers that is paid for from Silence are not populated thus we are not a community anymore is absurd. 
On your second point of having communication is also baseless as one thing you are taught as a communications major is people get annoyed if you tell them things just for the sake of telling them. If there is nothing to update, what do you want us to post about? 
Your last point also ties into your second and that is communication is a two-way street. Listening is in fact even more important than talking, especially for higher-ups, and @virr and myself are on discord religiously. There is never a time that we can't be reached about any situation, doesn't matter if you are a non-member all the way to staff. If anyone feels you "shouldn't" reach us, please don't feel like that and we are always happy to help or listen in any way we can.
I'll leave this thread open for any further comments as I am genuinely curious as to what people have to say.

its already done tho

time to revive a thread lmao

fuck off

lmao i apologize for shit quality of photo. its hard to get a picture of it. but there it is.

Ok so apparently this needs to be said and no one else will.
This entire post is probably worded badly but I don't really care, hopefully you're able to read it.
 
Let's go over a few basic building blocks for a community, you must:
A. Have a playerbase
B. Have communication
C. You SHOULD seek advice, or guidance from your players.
 
Now let's go through here and see what of these we have!
The screenshots below are going to be your friend for the first part of this post.

 
A. Have a playerbase - Uhh... Kind of? I'll give it a 2 at best. Any kind of playerbase you do have, I'd say a good majority leave after their first time connecting.
B. Have communication - There was a post in October..and the (semi?)monthly newsletters.. I'll say a 4.
C. You SHOULD seek advice, or guidance from your players. - There has been zero polls for who the fuck knows how long, except for Halo MCC if I remember correctly. 0
 
Ok so lets say you're left with 6 points out of 30.  That's a 20 percent.  If we followed this exactly, that would be saying your community is good as dead, or rather more than it already is.  The fact that this kind of population has been plaguing the servers for months, and not a single event has been held, just blows my mind.  How do you build a business? Or a club? Through advertisement.  You know what the best advertisement is for communities? Your players.  If there is never anything going on why should they tell others to join them or even stick around? I'm sure the majority of people won't think twice about stepping away from the servers and going somewhere else, but you get them to invite their friends, all of a sudden they became their go to place to play.  That should be your goal.
 
This is aimed specifically at the higherups. I don't know if anything may be going on in any of your guys' lives and that's why you aren't able to work on the community, and if there is then I hope it improves for you, but quite frankly if you aren't able to or just aren't willing to work on it, why the hell are you even in a position of power?  I get it, motivation is likely at an all time low, it was even when I was DL, and I can only guess it's gotten even worse.  But let me say this, how do you think it looks to the people that still care about the community, and the servers? Seeing the higherups not saying a damn thing about the state of really anything, and acting like everything is fine ( @hongkongatron )?? Here I'll say it for you. The majority of servers are completely dead, and the ones that still have population are only decreasing.  And I don't want to hear the excuse of it being school time, that's bullshit and we all know it is, there are plenty of other community servers out there full all the damn time.  Accepting the fact and doing something about it is a better choice, that is, if you care about the servers you claim to manage.  Literally all it takes is ONE person taking the lead, and having more community interaction, and this community could be popping again, that's literally how communities work.  They are based around communication.  Run polls to figure out the future of the servers, do events with other communities to bring traffic to both, do SOMETHING, at this point literally anything is better than how it's been.  I could be completely wrong, and everything could just be being posted to the discord, and if it is then fine but I HIGHLY doubt it, and if it is why the fuck isn't there posts about whatever it may be on the forums as well?  Forums exist for a reason, it's kind of where, you know, COMMUNITIES get together..  To tell you the truth, the CMs should be the ones focusing on fixing this dumpster fire, and I personally have not seen a single thing out of any of them regarding the community in months, or longer.  The most I've seen is promo demos, which haven't even been posted since October, Lithium and Bleed do CSGO I would assume, Virr I have no idea anymore. So really I just have one question, if it's taken this long to do anything, you guys must be working on something huge right?  Maybe it'd be a good idea to tell your people about it, that is, if there IS anything. I'll wait 🙂
 
I was gonna type more but then I realized all of this will probably just get ignored like everything else so fuck it, that's the motto around here right? I know I said I wasn't gonna care anymore, and after this I really don't give a shit what you decide to do, but it does push me in the wrong direction to see the current situation of literally nothing happening and the community being killed.  I honestly give up with this place, if you want to ban me then please do so, if you want to actually take advice from anyone for once then please do so.  And I don't apologize for being "too harsh" either, I can't believe I even had to make this post in the first place.  I'm out lmao
 
TL;DR - xG is supposed to be a community, figure out what the word community means, and what they are.

I've been getting more active lately and want to help around the server as much as I can. I check discord every 5 minutes or so, so I can stay on top of things pretty fast.
 
 
I also want that candle lit dinner,
I have read the staff submission rules and meet the requirements for the division I'm applying for.
