Jailbreak And Blues.

A plea for reason..

(Written by Obata Masamori)

-Xeno Gamers clan. If you could spare a few moments I would like to point your attention to jb2 a server I have played on for years. The place I earned my gibus. I'm very aware that much of Xeno Gamers has dismissed it as a dead server but I still go on it and find life..sadly it is usually in the form of freekillers and scum that ever since jb2 has been rebooted have crawled like lice into a lions mane. Then..just to add insult to injury xg proceeds to give blue team the ability to super jump and climb up walls. With no freekill penalty and no rebellion favoring maps (Legojail Downview Wakka) these tyrannical youngsters squeakers freekillers and others have taken to settling down and racking up free strange kills. Teeming like maggots in the corpse of a once proud Xeno Gamers server. Then the audacity of Xeno Gamers members on Jail Break 2 has also been both startling and shocking.

 

I have the permission of Xranth ( A warden on Jailbreak both 1 and 2) To reveal a story of what is in my opinion blatant abuse and oppression. Nomulus was testing a method of teleporting all prisoners or all of red team to disco. Xranth who was in the red cell on mlcastle with me blatantly points out that Jailbreak 2 is a Jail Break server and not a testing ground. Xranth is kicked and Nomulus says that if we do not like it to leave. Jail Break to is still Xeno Gamers ground is it not? In my opinion the unfair testing of team biased powers perks and teleports needs to be moved to a server made for such tests. And thereby sparing those of us who do play jb2 the abuse and pain caused by certain unruly mods admins or clan leaders. I hope xg is also aware that the wall climbing and super jumping also break ALOT of games on jb2 for both blue and red alike.

 

 

 

 

 

Xenogamers you are by all accounts a fine clan that undoubtedly has its reasons for the recent "deletion" of jb2 and its re-boot. Sadly your attempt to restart it has left some accidental repercussions that I would like to address. The first being the once prevalent "Freekill penalty" that used to exist on jb2. It prevented m1 pyros with first blood crits from mass freekilling by temporarily cutting down thier damage. While this isn't necessary on Jail Break 1 since there is a large amount of Moderators and Administrators there on Jail Break 2 the lack of allows freekillers tarpers and other rulebreakers to ply their trading with little risk of retribution. I would therefore humbly beseech you to consider returning the freekill penalty to jb2 along with the maps that benefit the prisoner more so than the guard such and Downview and Legojail rather than the biased swill of maps such as Chretein and Mlcastle with their sniper and scout favoring conditions. I should hope that Xenogamers reviews and commends my request and givesit the honor of a vote. I hope my words have made some impact and that you take them into account. Thank you and good day.

 

 

Now what he said goes for many of us, I know some of you don't like to read things..so read it before you respond.

 

 

 

 

TL;DR - None, go read it.

Well since i was mentioned, i should explain my story a bit more in detail.

 

I joined jailbreak 2 one day. Nomulous was no-clipping all over the map and killing REDs in their cells. I called him out on his BS and i was told he was testing things. I made the argument that jailbreak 2 is a JAILBREAK server, not a TEST server. Nomulous being a higher up does not excuse him from the rules. If i recall correctly, there was no vote.

 

I have no proof of this if you're wondering. This is just my 2 Cents.

 

Also, the powerups on Jailbreak 2 are incredibly stupid. They ruin the flow of gameplay. Super jumping and wallclimbing ruin minigames on the server, undermining their point. Going hand in hand with this, abuse day needs to be removed immediately. An admin could ban everyone on the server if he wanted to. It's abuse day. Why would he not abuse?

 

I've also noticed some rather abuse-y staff and incompetent ones. I'd like to request that xG look into their staff's actions a little bit harder. I think you have a few bad apples.

REMOVE LCT.

This seemed like a good thread to bring that up.

@Nomulous

 

Besides that, I've got nothing to contribute. Don't play TF2 enough to understand most of what was mentioned.

I agree with ridding of the option for admin abuse day but literally no one can be banned nor should be banned by any staff on such day. That is inexcusable abuse and should be removed from staff. But no one has ever done it. I agree that one of our dead servers should either be completely converted to a testing server that only certain people have access too or they are kept there original mode. Idk why jailbreak 2 has so much broken stuff when jailbreak 1 is not. It is literally a copy paste

Classic nomulous;)

Exactly, this was when I was testing the warden menu.

 

Nonetheless, the powerups that you mention must have been a drawback from @kbraszzz rebooting the server. I accidentally killed it (whoops, corrupted some files creating a nav_mesh), and requested him to reboot it from scratch and C&P all the files from JB1. Unless JB1 has these powerups (other than the warden menu, which should not have access to teleporting people to disco as it doesn't exist in JB1, I edited that code in the current edition of JB/). JB2 should be an exact carbon copy of JB1, so if there are added plugins to it, message @kbraszzz or @Ohstopyou

Goddamnit Nom, i banned someone for an hour cause they were flying around the map and i had no idea what was going on.

Can we make JB2 a copy of JB1 but then remove LCT on it? I don't see the point of us having a server identical to a different server that's never 32/32 in the first place, and this would at least give people a reason to visit it every once in a while.

Pretty much this, that's one of the reasons almost no one joins the server, because its an exact copy of jb1 now, there is nothing spicing it up making it different from the other jailbreak server anymore.
