Precious

A nice, sweet, cute boi who is almost as precious as I. He doesn't talk much but he knows the rules, is quite active, and is very polite. I'm happy you finally decided to apply!

*boop* :3

aww rip. Even though I didn't know you too well, it always sucks to lose a member. I wish you the best of luck on your future adventures, and I hope you come back real soon ?

Let me just start off by saying, I'm really sorry to everyone I'm letting down by making this, but it was a long time coming. I've had some great times here on xG and made some amazing friends, which is why it hurts me even more to do this. I hope you all can forgive me for this, and I hope we can all still be friends afterwards. I promise this has nothing to do with drama, I just want to make a proper goodbye before I leave. Thank you all so much for everything you've all done for me, I'll never forget it. I'm sorry everyone, but it's just time for me to go.
 
-On vacation! That's right, you just got pranked bro!! xddd
Heh, sorry for the scare, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity. Anyways, I am taking a brief vacation to stay over at my cousin's cabins for the holiday weekend. I'm leaving tomorrow morning and will arrive back home sometime either Sunday or Monday, depending on how things go and if I have to work or not. During this time, I probably won't be able to hop on TF2, though I might be able to check in on the forums and discord here and there. What are you all doing the holiday weekend? I'd love to know :3
Again, I'm not actually leaving xG, just gonna be gone for a couple of days. I'll see you guys soon, and I hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend! ?

Thank you for making this Kypari, it's a good reminder of what we as staff should strive to be. Truthfully, I feel like the staff lineup we have right now is the best it has ever been. Of course no staff group (or any individual staff member for that matter) is perfect, I've made my fair share of dumb decisions and mistakes, we all have. But after being here for over a year, I feel confident in saying the staff roster right now is the best I've seen yet, and I hope we all continue to grow and improve to make xG even better. 
I've heard some people say 'Make xG Great Again'. Nah mate, to me, xG has always been great. Not kissing up (jk give me DM), I believe the xG community is one of the best TF2 communities there is, and I'm honored to be a part of it. I've had a lot of great times and made several good friends, and I hope to have many more in the future. ?

sad to see you go man i'll be sure to inform the higher ups to make sure you are stripped from your membership and permanently banned from all the servers so that you don't feel any regrets, I'm sorry it had to come to this but oh well, I don't think I can change your mind so I guess this is goodbye ?

rip sorry my guy

Who might you be referring to?

Before I say anything, I just wanna say that I mean no offense, and I still look to you as a friend MJP. This is simply my honest opinion, and I hope you can respect that.
Honestly, I'm not sure how to feel about this. While I genuinely believe you're funny and chill and generally nice to have around, I also believe you could step it up in terms of maturity and rule following. I personally have no problem with you, but I know you've caused issues on the server in the past, both on the server and off of it. I've also noticed how you try to avoid coming on when staff are on, or at least when certain staff are on. I understand wanting to avoid a server if there's someone you don't like there, it's best to try and avoid drama. However, when all of those people are staff, it makes you seem very suspicious, like you're trying to get away with things that you shouldn't normally be able to get away with. It doesn't help that I have heard you say in the past that xG is "too strict" with its rules.
If you want to be a part of xG, then you must understand that the rules exist for a reason, and they really aren't hard at all to follow. When you continuously just keep dodging staff, that tells me that you're not mature enough to behave yourself alone. In the past, I have also heard you talk about staff you don't like when they're not around. This is not only disrespectful and immature, but also how drama begins. I know you say some of them have mistreated you in the past and abused their power. If that's true, then you need to be the better man. Don't respond to them, don't talk about them behind their backs, and don't do more things that they can use to beat on you for. If you truly feel that a staff member is abusing their power, you should make a thread about it here or message a higher up staff member, instead of avoiding them and badmouthing xG. 
That being said, I know you can be a better man. Like I said, you're already pretty funny and friendly, and I've seen you behave yourself before. I'm certain that if you keep up the good behavior, follow the rules to the best of your ability, and stay out of drama, you'll become a splendid member of our community. And again, if you feel you have been mistreated by a staff member, the mature thing to do would be to contact a higher up or make an abuse thread with evidence.
For now, my vote will stay neutral. I want you to make me regret not giving you a +1 ?
I wish you the best of luck! ? 

I was denied from being a member again after leaving, it's a shame. All I wanted to do was have fun on the server but as soon as something goes wrong you're thrown away. What happened was small compared to what I seen other members and even staff do and was never a problem with other users or even staff that were present. Not to deny their severity but the incompetence of some of the staff to attend to the matter during it is sorta ridiculous and leaves to a lot of miscommunication with what's acceptable. Even just me being present on the server and talking is taken with over exaggeration from a few users with claims of toxicity despite me never being outright toxic or even passive aggressive, how ever I seen plenty of staff and other members portray a worse tone. I know I could just reapply in 30 days but being denied a membership implies that you aren't wanted. That they're aren't wanted to be associated with this community, to have a stupid tag by your name or have a tag on the forums that almost nobody uses. I don't plan on leaving again and I'm not too bothered by it, but I just find it quite sad seeing as I spent so much time in the server and even donated, albeit small amounts.
This just show's if you're someone new to the server and want to work your way up then you have to be perfect. Unless you're friends with anyone or not try to go against the grain only a little to have fun then you aren't really wanted here. You're better off not trying.

Hello hi greetings hola salutations hiya hey howdy! How are you? :3

"Remove rtd and spawn protection, leave the base game the way it should be" 
On an unrelated note "don't get hit" is the most absurd advice when the entire game is hitscan and aoe attacks. Hitscan you literally can't dodge, you can just bait the enemy into missing. 
If stock rotation really takes off I honestly wouldn't mind re enabling crits on our silly fun trade servers, but at the moment this is about the most competitive our community's got, and judging by the amount of actual trading that occurs on any server nowadays, most people who join are just doing so to dm with other community members.

hello hello hi yes hello hola hey hi greetings yes salutations hi hi hi yes good how are you?

Friendly person who's pretty active and knows the rules, and has been pretty helpful with naughty boys. I think you'd make a good addition to the crew. ?
+1, good luck!

Have a good trip dude! See you soon ?

Greetings members and guests. You may be wondering what in the high heavens has been going on lately. Threads are a mess of toxicity and hate. It's very difficult to pinpoint the actual claims of many a thread, oh dear oh dear.
It is because of this that in this thread I will be trying to explain how to actually engage in constructive dialogue with your fellow xenogamers members.. 
 
Part 1. Make sure any claims you make in any thread are substantiated by verifiable evidence.  
  
For instance, were I to make a thread called "Virr is an incredibly toxic individual who bullies and harasses me daily please demote" it would probably help to have multiple things. Maybe witness testimony that, yes indeed, Virr does do these things. Maybe a screencap of the abuse Virr definitely really sends me on the daily. 
 
However the strongest form of evidence I could provide would be unedited records of the events that had occured in full context. It is very very easy to clip a sentence or two out of context to try and assassinate someone's character
 
Even if doing this somewhat incriminates me, it is better to provide evidence of the occurrence in context. It adds towards the credibility of my claim, as I am obviously not trying to hide any bad acting on my part this way. While this is the strongest form of evidence, that does not mean that Anecdotal evidence is inherently bad. It is especially useful in cases such as abuse through voice. Abuses or violations through voice are especially difficult to gather evidence against, as demos must start being recorded before the event transpires, and it's unreasonable to expect anyone making an abuse report to have been running demos at all times or for them to have enabled some kind of third party recording software. In this situation, you can see how merely the testimony of multiple unrelated individuals might be sufficient evidence worthy of creating a thread about. 
What isn't strong evidence though is "I feel like virr is being toxic because they vaguely don't like me and don't want to communicate with me outside of the platform of xenogamers when necessary". 
Which brings us to step two. 
 
Part 2: Realize that opinions are not really worth discussing if you are not willing to try and back them up. 

We've all got opinions. 'They're like armpits' or some other bottom-of-the-barrel-dad-joke. But generally it's not worth making a thread about an opinion if the most reasoning you have for an opinion is "idk i just feel that way I guess". That's not to say you don't have a right to that opinion, but the point of the forums is to provide some outlet for discussion. If I wanted to make a vote to remove clocktown because I think it's a bad garbage map, but I cannot elaborate on why I think that, it's pointless to even try to discuss it. That's why the vote exists, to just be able to give your input without having to defend it. It would be pointless and unproductive to just constantly parrot "Idk man I want it removed because I think it's bad" (which usually just devolves into a sh¡tstorm). Just create the vote, vote, and be done with it. You'd make just as much progress arguing over whether blue is a better color than green.  
 
Part 3: Please don't needlessly attack other folks' character, thanks. 
This one kind of speaks for itself. Kinda a "love the sinner, hate the sin" kind of deal. Generally you should take issue with what people are saying and not who's saying it. If virr said something as absolutely stupid as...
 
it would still not be acceptable or intelligent to attack virr directly for his opinion on things. Attack his argument, that's fine, but the end goal of discussion is not mindless name-calling. There's a big difference between saying "hey man, I think your opinion is poorly thought through and inconsistent because xyz" and "lol ur dumb nerd". 
 
Part 4: Do not, under any circumstances, posit that you know what anyone's thoughts are unless they've already explicitly stated it.  
This is the big one that really annoys me the most. Like okay Sherlock, we get it, you think so highly of your genius self that you think you've conquered what philosophers worldwide have grappled with for decades, the impenetrable prison of the human mind. 
Here's the reality; you likely do not know what that other person is thinking. Even if they were to explicitly tell you what they are thinking, there's always something lost in the transition from thoughts to words. You can directly quote someone's opinion on a matter, you can try to theorize what their feelings on a matter may be through some amount of evidence, but to approach the matter without delicacy and just assume that you've got an individuals stance or views nailed down with no supporting evidence makes you look like an arrogant idiot who's so strapped for any modicum of support for their claims that you literally have to build a straw-man and burn it to have any impact.  
 
Part 5: Every single person on this planet has a set of biases. 
Everyone has a set of actions, opinions, or choices that they are predisposed to. This brings back the point about being humble. You are not above this. You may think you have no active bias against anyone or even anything, but previous experience and interaction always paints an individual's worldview a certain way. Some biases we can be conscious of, while others we can't. There isn't anything wrong with anyone for having an internal blind bias, it's completely normal, but my hope is that the more people who know about this, the less people will think that someone's bias exists solely to harm them. Just please be kind; as much as you're thinking the other person on the opposite end of the argument is a biased garbage bin, they're probably thinking the exact same about you, and it doesn't help anyone to grow sore over it. 
 
So there it is, my not-so-brief outline on issues with a couple of recent trends in threads. I hope it was at least somewhat coherent and I hope you have a wonderful day. 
Adios
 
 

Don't sweat it dude, not your fault. Also, I don't think there's much need for you to start off with a clean slate, I believe you've improved a lot in the past few weeks. I've seen it myself! I'm glad you still want to improve though, and I'll be looking forward to it! ?

Gonna keep this short and sweet and I don't care what happens to me.
This is actually starting to bother me. Right now xG is split into two groups, the Furry friends, then the Tuna group.
The furry group despises the entirety of the Tuna group because of one person, who imo never did anything to deserve it. They're taking it to the extreme and banishing friends to the shadow realm because they have friends in that group. Then what friends they have left after that try to convince them that Tuna's group is the devils house and never talk to anyone there.
Then the Tuna group, obviously is poop on the most, it isn't perfect, (I do think that some things could have been handled a little better, but they did what they needed to get the message across) but I think they're much better than the other.
It's just fudgeing nonsense and shouldn't be a thing. As a part of the tuna group, the furry group can chill tfo.
Do something about it, thanks.
