The Ambassador is a special beast. On one hand it brings the absurdity of high damage from effective infinite range to a class that can abuse running and hiding to exploit that damage from unexpected locations, but on the other hand it is really unreliable when faced with a direct battle.
 
If a player has the consistency to get those headshots over and again then it is really good, but you average player who uses it situationally to kill a specific target (eg razorback sniper) because of their less than perfect aim would be better served by a revolver that can be consistently useful for covering escape fire or killing that same sniper making it overrated for the average player. (though those sweet headshots feel really nice when you get them)
 
And the diamondback exists so you have a much easier time killing stuff because screw aim in the first place.

+1 Although the map is cool and all it rekts my toaster. It kills the server in a milisecond. I'm down for getting this removed.

Addittions:
Warden/Blu

You may only play one friendly fire game per round. (Example: You cannot do cell wars and arena on the same day.)
Do not use !menu to troll, you will be teamswitched.


You may not airblast reds away from you if they attempt to run at you. Any other airblasting is a freehit unless they are rebelling.

Red

No team-killing, unless the day/game requires Reds' to team-kill each other. Examples: Cell wars, Arena, Hunger games
You can be killed for: going into armory, entering vents, triggering tardis, entering tardis, breaking vents or using a lethal taunt if facing somebody close.
You may not camp medic or armory for more than 10 seconds.

Games

You cannot play Trivia with more than five reds.
Hunger Games - Blu team runs to a set location, where Reds' are not allowed enter/come near. Friendly fire is turned on after Blu team have set their spot, traveled to that spot, and cell doors are opened (using !menu to open cells). The Reds' are allowed to kill each other till one Red remains. They may kill each other with weapons, however if a Red was to start attacking members of the Blu team, then they're classified as a rebel and are killed.
Cell wars – Cell Games can ONLY be turned on before the cells door are open, and must be turned off after the cell doors are open.
Friendly Fire Games - Other games involving friendly fire may also be toggled in a specific place chosen by the warden, however, it has to be turned off after the game is over. You cannot play games that involve friendly fire for LR. Keep in mind that arena and cell wars are not the same!

Worth having to deal with the problem makers again for a bit :LOL:

Hey xG! Thanks for all the feedback you guys have given us, we strive to improve xG constantly and the best directions come from the members who play on our servers.
 
First things first, I will list some of the changes we have implemented after getting your feedback.
 

Teamspeak - People in our afk channel are now visible again to people who aren't in the channel
Forums - Applications Tab added to the top of the page as it was, to let newcomers and members make apps much easier (member app, ban protest, mod app etc)
Forums - Added a streams tab, and removed the CS:GO stream as we want to feature only xG members (Alison Quinn is still a featured streamer for now...)
Forums - Providing credits for any map creators who make maps for xG (Feel free to pm me if you are a map maker, Charles has already received payment)

These are the changes coming up very soon!

Minecraft - Pvp Faction with a seperate creative world server will be out complete with the shop and voting ready
Minecraft - Sponsors of xG will get a free VIP package as a way to say thanks!
CS:GO - hub will still be out before September (Rhododendron Confirmed)
Forums - shop will be out before September as well (Rhodo also confirmed)
Raffles - More raffles will be out, all of them with free entries, but we will include stuff for TF2 players and League players
Raffles - Donator-only and Sponsor-only raffles will be also implemented to say thanks to everyone who has helped us so far.

These are the changes in the near future!

CS:GO / TF2 - Evaluating the different servers and seeing which should stay up and which should we take down/change
CS:GO / TF2 - Creating ways to populate servers (Incentives/contests/community nights)
Youtube - Creating content with the community (Nothing cringe I promise)
Raffles - Increasing the value of the prizes based on how much we are getting
Sponsors - providing more benefits to sponsors, and I will be looking for official sponsors (no alcohol, gambling or porn) so if you guys have any thoughts, feel free to hit me up with a DM

Thanks again for the feedback, remember that we can only improve as long as you guys are willing to communicate with us, and the more active and vocal you are, the better we get!
 
Happy gaming!
~Aegean

I have added the plugin to all servers.
Type /stealth in order to use it.

To piggyback on Bello's removal of the map, I'd just like to clarify the following:
 
trade_edventures is not being completely removed from the server, just from rotation. This means the map can no longer be voted on or selected by the regular players. Admins+ can still change the map to edventures, but must first secure a 70%+ vote to do so, just like koth_wubwubwub and koth_trainsawlaser.
 
Since there's such an outcry against the map, it only seems logical to ensure it can't be voted for anymore. That is all. =)

Hooray we can rest easy tonight knowing that shit hole of a map is gone :sleep:

Worth having to deal with the problem makers again for a bit :LOL:

I do but I mean surely he can find a little hole to hide in by the time it catches him right? :coffee:

Hi guys, we're looking for a few staff members to help out on server launch. Obviously we will be taking regular applications and considering active players etc, but initially we are looking for a couple experienced staff members willing to make sure the first few days/weeks are running smoothly. Reply here, add me, pm me, whatever and you'll be considered :)
 
Note, this is just for regular moderator positions.

Please re-apply in 30 days. Closed.

I mean...
 
... good luck I guess?

I do but I mean surely he can find a little hole to hide in by the time it catches him right? :coffee:

Really is cool.

Hello! I wanted to notify you guys on a few things just so everything is out in the open!
 
Minecraft:
The server will be a little delayed because we don't want to release an unfinished server. We are making sure all plugins and spawns are completely finished so expect the server out before the 27th!
 
Raffles:
If you used credits to buy a raffle ticket, and have not gotten your credits back please message Rhododendron with the amount that you spent on the raffle. The reason for us making it free entries is because since we technically are not a non-profit org, we aren't allowed by law to have a raffle and sell entries, so we have decided to just make it free.
 
We can exclude user groups so we will still have Sponsor-only raffles and it will be League RP to say thanks to our sponsors.
 
Forums:
I hear you all about the changes you guys want, for starters letting people make an application from the tab just like in the past and if it can, we will have that fixed asap! We have implemented a streams section so we will work on getting the streams fixed, and we will slowly add people onto the streams section that we see fit. Please do not spam for it :)
 
If you have any questions or comments I'd love to hear them! Apologies for the delays and issues, but little by little everything is improving and getting done :)
 
Thanks,
Aegean

#xGSurvey

Definition of slur. 1a : an insulting or disparaging remark or innuendo : aspersionb : a shaming or degrading effect : stain, stigma.
Xeno gamers has always strived to be a safe and welcoming environment for all types of people, despite a persons ethnicity, regardless of they are homosexual or heterosexual, ignoring The limitations of age, and treating the sexes as equals. XG however has been ignoring the comfort and security of one group
: people who suffer from Autism Spectrum Disorder.
 
More than 3.5 million Americans have been diagnosed with ASD and the number is believed to be much higher due to individuals who have closeted their disorder. The amount of people who suffer from ASD on Steam is staggering, and it is safe to say that we come in contact with some of these individuals online daily.
 
Autism spectrum disorder more often than not leads to many separate diagnoses such as Anxiety, depression, and Agoraphobia. People who have been bullied due to their atypical behaviour begin to see themselves as lesser, worthless, and with a bleak future. ASD can also lead to dependency issues, which only amplifies these thoughts of self worthlessness, and in some cases these thoughts lead to self harm or even suicide. As a community service worker, I have seen this happen, it is heart breaking and it never gets easier.
 
With all of this being said, why are we allowing people to use this serious disorder to be the butt of every joke? Yes it is a meme that is used often, but so are other slurs we find unacceptable. There will be people on the spectrum ok with these slurs, may even use them themselves as a joke, but this can be said about any slur. I have been receiving messages of people on the spectrum feeling isolated and outcasted to to these jokes and I believe that we must put a stop to it, for their sake and for future xG players.

Well this me making a mod application, It's been a while since I came back, and I think it's time for me to start helping in a concrete way, I had chat privileges on the tf2 servers and I always used them to enforce the rules when needed, so I would like to have a chance to join staff, maybe even for a trial mod?

GLOSSARY (CAMP001)

CAMPING (CAMP002)
ESCAPING CAMPS (CAMP003)
CLASS INFORMATION (CAMP004)

 
IF YOU ARE HERE FROM GETTING LINKED THIS THREAD IN TF2, LET ME BE THE FIRST ONE TO SAY; READING IS GOOD.
 

Spawncamping. This has been an aspect of Xenogamers for over five years now. It's not going to go away, unless the higher ups pull a few strings. So you, dear player, have three major choices.
 
A. Bear with it. It's not going to go away. Get with the times, and learn how to camp! (and how to AVOID being camped!)
 
B. Use !friendly. This plug in turns you into a spooky, non-solid (in practice) ghost, that can't be hurt! At the same time, you cannot interact with the world. Some classes technically can, but shouldn't.
 
Some of the more egregious examples will follow. DO NOT DO THESE THINGS. YOU RISK BEING KICKED, BANNED, OR OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE PUNISHMENT.

Building a sentry/dispenser to block buildings/doorways. Friendly players still block bullets, and buildings are no exception. Normally, this is a useful technique in maps with multiple entrances for controlling chokepoints, such as the front door of Goldenrod Tower, the outside of Clocktown's BLU hall or the Astral Observatory, securing a doorway in Goldeneye, etc. The building still functions as cover, and absorbs bullets seemingly at random.
 
Blocking people/shots while in !friendly. Not only is this highly annoying, it isn't friendly at all. Yes, we appreciate huggy heavies. Yes, we love the sweet embrace of fuzzy mittens and a warm sandwich on a cold winter's evening. NO, we don't want to have to shoot through you. We can't be expected to pull a Lee Harvey Oswald every time we try to kill somebody. This is especially dangerous with explosives. Watch from a safe distance, or use spectator to watch the fun without interrupting it! This also applies to administrators and donors using buddha-style invulnerability, with the addendum that SENTRIES WILL SHOOT YOU, TOO. So be careful!
 
SAPPING ANYTHING AS SPY WHILE FRIENDLY. SAPPING ANYTHING AS SPY WHILE FRIENDLY. SAPPING ANYTHING AS SPY WHILE FRIENDLY. GET IT? GOOD.

C. Join in on the camping! Seriously, it's a lot of fun!
 
So! Now that we've gotten past that bit of hubbub, time for the meat and potatoes of this thread..guide, thing. The actual camping. Fun fun for everyone!
 
BEING THE CAMPER (CAMPOO2)
 

 
The spawncamping crew, 2014. Left to right; Kart, Vector, Kitsune, Vixen on the shoulders, Running_Death, Maymalays/Ponyboy.

You may be asking; Why did you post this picture? It's irrelevant! Well, bucko, the first rule of a successful spawncamp is to HAVE A FRIEND. It depends on the map, but you're gonna want at least one plucky helper who's in the know. Be it a friend on your steam list, or a player who actually realizes; Oh my GOD, a spawncamp is happening! Use the Team Text Chat to communicate plans and ideas. Otherwise, your enemy will know exactly what you are up to! Once you've got two, maybe three players in touch..it's time for the first step of spawncamping!
 
STEP 1: THE SET UP

To successfully keep a camp trained on a spawn, you and your plucky little band of helpers need to organize one of three common methods of spawncamping; The Big Charge, The Supply Line, or The Door Whore.
 
THE BIG CHARGE

The Big Charge is the most common and hated method of spawncamping. You know it. The teams are stacked, all of the good players are on RED, you're being dominated by scouts using the winger and medics spamming the overdose. When a team has a group of organized players, they tend to take back territory and control the map without using sentries, dispensers, or other buildings. That's not to say that nobody will use them; With enough time, engineers will get the right idea and set up buildings to hold your delicious spawncamp claim. Normal setups you see during a big charge are as follows;
 
Soldier/Demo/Heavy + Medic
 
Explosives are extremely deadly on most Xenogamers maps. This is because most of them aren't very wide-open, allowing few opportunities for Snipers, Scouts, and other classes to pick you off. The three classes all specialize in close-quarters combat (notably the heavy, with well over 300 DPS if you keep your minigun trained on somebody at point blank) and do an excellent job at controlling areas, denying turf, and just soaking up damage with their beefy overheals.
 
Sniper + Sniper + Sniper ad infinitum
 
On the contrary, there are some maps where you can train a rifle onto the spawn door and just spam them to death. This is more of a Door Whore technique,(To put that into perspective, Nimbus is the best Door Whore map!) but on maps like Hyrule, Rusty Bucket Bay, and other wide, open areas, sniper support is extremely useful for securing turf.
 
 
THE SUPPLY LINE

The Supply Line is my favored way of spawncamping. This is when you want to waste your day on TF2, and plan on camping a map for hours. It's also very difficult to prepare. All you have to do is deploy a sentry outside of the enemy spawn. Your team will gravitate towards it naturally and keep it camped. Easy? Not so much.
 
Engineer + Pyro/Engineer/Any aggressor (sometimes)
 
Because this is the only feasible way to prepare said camp. You HAVE to have a Pyro covering your nest...Usually! Spies will go for you, soldiers will shoot you. As a good example, Vexx tends to airblast targets away from the nest while I work on it. Vixen blows them up with missiles. Vector upgrades my stuff while I collect metal...There are plenty of options, but you need somebody to hug you while you work. Otherwise, a soldier will just blow it up from a safe distance.
 
THE DOOR WHORE

On certain maps, such as Rusty Bucket Bay, the spawns use gigantic doors to open and close. The Door Whore is a camp that specializes on that fact. Unlike the previous camping methods, I can't list a specific set of classes, because the maps wildly vary. Nimbus land is an exception.
 
SNIPER + ENGINEER
 
Engineer defends hall. Sniper shoots down it. Make BLU cry. It's really that simple.
 
STEP 2: SUSTAINING A CAMP

Keeping a camp up and running isn't easy. You have to make sure that you have enough bodies, your nests are okay, ammo is full, etc. No matter which method you use, you're going to want to have an engineer set up a nest to keep the area secure.
 

 
 
A meaty example. Once your sentry is up, follow with a dispenser. After that, you're going to want a teleporter. MAX OUT THE TELEPORTER BEFORE THE DISPENSER. PEOPLE > AMMO/METAL. You don't want more than three engineers, unless it's a teleport-out spawn..and that only applies if the rule is lifted.
 
In case you didn't read the rules, you can't camp this pipe. This is an old picture from the Golden Age of xG.
 
STEP 3: ENDURANCE

To keep a camp sustainable and functional, you can't grow bored. It's..pretty simple. See (CAMP003) for more details on how they'll try to break out!
 
ESCAPING A SPAWNCAMP (CAMP003)

Welcome to hell! Most of you will be reading this section. Since you're likely on the server right now, and have no time to religiously study this thread, I'll keep it simple.
 
ARE THEY AIRBLASTING/SENTRYCAMPING? RTD.
 
ARE THEY SENTRYCAMPING WITHOUT PYROS? UBERCHARGE.
 
IS THERE ONLY ONE SENTRY? SOLDIER.
 
IS THERE MORE THAN ONE? HEAVY.
 
ARE THE PYROS DOING THEIR JOB? DEMOMAN.
 
ARE THEY USING SNIPERS? UBERCHARGE.
 
ARE YOU WHINING AND NAGGING FOR A RTV BECAUSE YOU CAN'T ESCAPE THE SPAWNCAMP? DON'T HARASS THE ADMINS/PLAYERS. USE !FRIENDLY AND WE CANNOT STOP YOU.
 
This is simple stuff, people! Spawncamping is NOT against the rules, unless you are camping a teleport-out spawn with a single exit.

I'm going to be updating this thread over time, so keep in mind that some sections may be a bit empty.
 
 
 
 
WEAPONS AND CLASSES(CAMP004)
 
 
SOLDIER OPTIONS
 
Beggar's Bazooka - The gun that started it all. On maps that are indoors, along with any map with close-range sentries, this badass-ballistic-boomer will melt and destroy anything short of a Heavy. Unfortunately, it has seen nerfs in the recent past. You need finesse to aim it properly now, or else it deals less than 40 damage a rocket. Ouch.
 
Stock/Original - Good for anything, especially critical rockets. The Original is a bit better because you can actually see the right side of your FoV.
 
Liberty Launcher/Air Strike - Both of these launchers are EXTREMELY situational. That situation is CRITS. With critical hits from a medic or a lucky RTD, nothing tops them, with the exception of the Beggar's Bazooka.
 
Cow Mangler - No. Ammo isn't a concern, the alt-fire is highly situational..UNLESS you bring a shotgun. But that means no aura, and the auras are really nice.
 
Righteous Bison - This gun is amazing! The Vaccinator and other forms of critical resistance don't apply to lasers from it, and every shot deals 45-450 damage, depending on how cowardly your target is. Use it if you've got a kritz medic, or if you're on Nimbus Land.
 
Auras - Any aura buff will do your team great. Batallion's Backup is arguably the best due to critical hit immunity and the ability to overheal a ton of health.
 
Use whatever melee you prefer. Boot upgrades are a bad choice if you don't intend on letting them leave spawn.
 
DEMOMAN OPTIONS
 
FURTHER RESEARCH REQUIRED
 
 
 
MEDIC OPTIONS
