-1 Your behavior last night, along with others, had received multiple warnings. So much so that as bonk said, 5 minutes was being extremely lenient. The 5 minutes were being applied to you as that was the level of punishment others had reached, and both I and @Bonk were being more patient than anyone there really even deserved, considering their actions. Also still a -1 since this thread, as you said, exists only because you were mad at bonk despite multiple warnings and examples set of what would happen if you continued.

nah brod i want johngalt

time to make my two dads proud

I've been talking to higherups for quite a while about this with a large back and forth, and with recent successes with community nights, I think it's finally time to announce it. As of the 23rd of this month (3/23/19), I'll be hosting an xG Golf It event in place of every third community night. This event will entail members making custom maps several weeks beforehand that we play. I figured it would be a good way to add something to Golf It, and involve members in participation even more. Note - it's optional to create these maps, but there might potentially be a reward for it. To give people more time, I'm creating an extra gap week, hence the reason this first one is 3/23 instead of 3/16 for the event. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

After tonight's Race for the Wool Community Night, which the ending of turned into a jackbox lobby, the event has proven both of the things that I wanted to see from this community. Firstly, that higherups are willing to cooperate and endorse community nights on (what would've been) our own servers, as well as the people attending willing to play the same gamemode for an extended period of time, rather than a lobby of many different games for the same period of time. Both of these things show to me that I should step up my game as a host to create an even better experience. That being said, within the first 10 or so minutes, we received a large amount of people, which was fantastic. Due to the xG Server being down, however, I was forced to host the community night on a shoddy hosting service, which, coupled with a large player count and a great number of mobs, resulted in lag issues. Despite this, the reception was mixed between fun and a wish for a higher quality server. After an hour-long round, the remaining members and I played jackbox for another several. Overall, was fun, but there was a glaringly large room for improvement. All in all, not the worst, but nothing to be proud of. Thank you to everyone who attended.

After collaboration with @Arthman and @Aegean (big thanks), we've decided that the next community night of 3/2/19 will be on our own Minecraft server. But why just minecraft? How is just running around as a group in some barren plains biome going to be fun? We're going to be playing Race for the Wool, a custom map designed for two teams (we'll be picking captains, 10man style), each of which have to race across their own side of the map and collect several colored pieces of wool, bring them back to their home base's pedestal, and sabotage the other team along the way. Here's some examples of how it typically looks: (this perspective is only one team's side, the other team's side is identical) OUR MINECRAFT SERVER IP IS mc.xenogamers.com If you have any questions or suggestions, post them and I'll (hopefully) answer them.

dont you dare tag me ever again you small idiot that being said +1 has proven hes up to it time and time again

@Soulify I've addressed this in the past, but I change the times on community nights in order to suit the largest numbers of peoples' needs. As such, it's entirely possible to move it multiple hours if not one, so if the timing is ever unfortunate for you, just let me know and it can be changed.

After an even more incredibly successful community night last night (of 2/16/19), here's an inconsequential but somewhat informational thread about it. Like I said, our turnout was massively successful with even more people than the last one (with a peak of ~23 people at once with around 30 different people that joined overall!); Thank you to everyone who attended! Since I love creating problematic tasks to fulfill in the future, here's some vague info about one of the next community nights: -One of the near future CN's will be Minecraft -The gamemode for this will be either Race to the Wool, or as @Bonk suggested (thanks), us splitting into two teams in a random survival world and trying to get all 16 colors of wool in order first. -One of the other things I want to do for a future CN is a custom xG Golf-It night. -This would involve our own members creating maps beforehand for us to play during the community night; could be a fun way to show off skill (or lack thereof). tl;dr - the GMod Community Night was a huge success, and I have big plans for the future. Still need to talk to @Aegean and @Arthman about the minecraft CN. The next one, by the way, will be 3/2/19, as we're now on the new schedule of one every other week. Once again, huge thanks to everyone who came.

How much of the game outside of Snowhead and the Bay will be visible? And in snowhead and the bay respectively will you be able to go as far as the temples?

I'm going to stand by a concrete rule that community nights won't have specific EST times, I want them to be variable to fit the largest numbers of people. That being said, it will happen at around 7:00 PM EST.

and you @PolarCoded

Small update - I'll be scoping out a multitude of servers for each gamemode we'll play so that we have multiple backups incase one or another has random people/is populated/has bad ping or other issues, etc. I'll (probably maybe) post the IP's here if anyone wants them once I'm done but if you haven't already, be sure to add me on steam so you can join off me. Reminder: The CN is THIS SATURDAY (2/16) tags for people who have attended in the past/would be interested (sorry if i missed anyone): @ScottNi @Topaz @Jadow @bagggel @BullseyeX @Tatost @Thunder

the bot kept going down a year or so ago and it was shut down then was shrugged off as “its gonna get fixed eventually we just have bigger fish to fry” iirc but bringing it back would make our giveaway system for population events way better
