    Oh neat, do you have aspergers? So do I ;) And yea, I'd have to agree that terms like 'retarded' and 'autistic' plus others should fall under the racism whitelist, and here's why. 1) Calling someone one of these terms almost always is an overgeneralized definition of who they are as an individual. For example, if I were to call you autistic, I'd be defining your character under that singular condition, while neglecting to mention that @TheSupremePatriot is also very intelligent, helpful, experienced, and friendly of both a person and staff member. In addition, autistic, retorted, etc. almost always are used (although incorrectly) as synonyms for "idiot". People who are autistic, retarded, or whatever other box they're being forced into by the insensitive use such words AREN'T necessarily idiots. I also don't like the overuse of "idiot" (often the person in question is NOT unintelligent, just uninformed) but I also don't care too much about it, since it's often used jokingly between friends. :p 2) Regardless of weather or not the person you're calling such words as 'retarded' or 'autistic' actually has one of these conditions, it still contributes to this societal belief that people who actually have such conditions are inherently stupid. Which is both extremely RUDE and WRONG. 3) And don't forget, this is the internet. People are going to say these things all the time, because they don't care about you, your race, or your conditions in the slightest, and they'll try to make you cry. That's what I love about xG, you can curse and joke around, but attacking someone personally is disallowed. Maybe this should've been a new thread? With a poll to add: "making fun of people for their conditions, or words such as 'retarded' or 'autistic' should be added to the racial slur (or whatever we call it) whitelist?" In fact, in general, I think attacking someone personally is taking it to far (making fun of their disability, a culture, country). Anyways, with that, I +1 this application! Good luck, @TheSupremePatriot! You've been an excellent friend to me. (y)

    Oh neat, in the city or countryside? I had a great time living in a village for a couple of weeks with our family's German friends a few years ago. Very mellow, sustainable way of life. :smug: ;3

    SOLD For 2 keys I'm asking for 2 keys PURE for this. You may make offers, though, but I'll accept any offer with pure promptly. Send me an offer: Steam Community

    Awesome! Keep us posted. (y)

    IF you read my original post, I explain in detail a method in which you can buy and resell keys in order to earn a "discount". However, I made an error in my math and forgot to account for the fees Valve charges. As a result, this method would only save you 4-5%, and only on very expensive purchases off the Steam market. Furthermore, it would take at least 1-2 hours to achieve this "discount". Trust me, it's not worth your time.

    Ey, so long as you can maintain your fair judgement, right? That's just something I wouldn't normally expect from someone who's on a high/drunk. :thinking:

    If we're encouraging people to get on the forums with this plugin... Is this 7-page flamewar what we want them to see? :hilarious: But really, I'm down for setting a minimum requirement of around 1 Ref, seems fair to me. > Would encourage people to get on the forums even more (they wouldn't disregard the new plugin, knowing that all that ever comes out of it is worthless items). > 1 Ref is basically the lowest 'TF2 Currency', but it's still a notable amount, so people wouldn't be deterred from donating (hopefully). > I think a reward system for donating should be implemented, would further encourage the use of this plugin. Even something simple like a badge for donating, like, 5$ worth of items or something is good. This provides an incentive to donate items, even if it's a small one.

    I wasn't entirely clear earlier, allow me to rephrase. I'm well aware that weed doesn't cause a chemical addiction, doesn't have harmful effects, and is far less 'potent' then alcohol in general. I don't care if he smokes weed or not, I think that's perfectly OK. My problem is if he would moderate a xG server while high, and until I read the posts of the past week (a reminder; I've been camping on work during weekdays), I was convinced from multiple members saying he was frequently high on servers. That's my fault, I see now that I made my comments before I did enough research to make a proper judgement. Sorry. :unsure: :S I'm withdrawing my -1 and remaining neutral for now. Regardless, I stand by my point: high, drunk, or whatever; I don't think you should be online moderating a server while your mind and judgement is being manipulated by an outside source.

    Oh my bad, I must've pulled up another guy with your username or something who had 14. Sorry about that :eek:
  12. james8470
    I was referring to hours in-game on xG. TF2 experience is not the same as xG experience

    Thanks, changed my vote from 'no' to 'keep it but make the rules clearer'
  14. james8470
    I'm a little surprised you're still going on about this Moosty, but you know what you have reason to, given that there is in fact no clear clause as to what kind of images are allowed in maps. Anyways, I like cyberpunk, and I'd like to see it stay. I think a clause which allows nudity in maps, provided it's artistic, is great I think not allowed any nudity in maps is just as great, provided we can simply remove/cover/replace the image in cyberpunk. Finally, "Should we either remove 2_A or be more transparent with exceptions to rules?" as a strictly yes or no question is kind of a scam. What if I don't want cyberpunk removed, but think we should be more transparent with exceptions to the rules, which I do. :p

    -1 I don't know you personally, but there are a couple points if interest which have swayed my vote. 1) If you're often, or even at all on drugs while moderating a server, you're not moderating it at all. I don't see how you intend to live up to the definition of moderator if your judgement is clouded. You'd be a lose cannon of a mod, and that's simply unacceptable. If this info is outdated, you're clean now, and @Kypari is misinformed, then my deepest apology for the confusion. 2) You have only 14 hours in-game on xG servers. While this is decent, I'd like to see more experience in-game from any moderator. There are certain things you can only learn by playing, and I'm 99% certain that every xG staff member has tenfold this amount of time in-game. 3) The lack of effort you put into application also speaks to how much care you would put into actually moderating the servers. Not only are all the "i" 's not capitalized, but things like "not all the time are admin" just make it seem as like you don't care enough about actually putting effort into what you do. Mods who don't put effort into what they do, are simply not good mods. Sorry, man. (n)

    -1 This app is really shady. You do not have "200 hours 73 mins" in xG. And by the way, 60 min = 1 hour, so why not 201 hours 13 mins? Honestly, this really looks like you typed it up on the fly in order to make yourself appear like good member material. :thinking: Player Information | Xeno Gamers You have 3 hours 22 minutes in-game according to this, which is under the minimum requirement anyways. :cautious:

    What's with these tags on your older usernames? Are these actual clans you're a staff member on, or are you just trolling with fake tags? You should know; both cases are unacceptable on xG (multiclanning, faking tags). Please explain this, thanks.

    Until yesterday, that statement was actually very true; I hadn't showered in 9 days, I was backcountry camping.

    Welcome back, it's been awhile! Haven't seen you in years, man! ;) But really, that was pretty easy. I wonder if I could use steam support to hijack @shwash 's account :troll: Maybe that's how the hacker got your account in the first place? Punk'ed steam support. :ROFLMAO:
