Staff have voted to remove Mudkips from the clan, on top of a permanent ban for constant racism. This was more behind the scenes as a recent (hidden) post was made with a bunch of racist remarks, on top of his recent ban from Discord for racism.
 
Thanks

For me it was just CSGO in general. I've been playing the same game for years and it just became stale. Same with War3. I love the game to death but I feel that I've done all I want with it and there's not much else for me to do.

TTT:GO Admining Guide
 
    One of the main goals of Admining is to not affect the current round in play either via slaying or asking the perpetrator why they did what they did. Typically we are going to want to wait until either after the round is over, or until both parties have died for that round before we take any action. (Exception would be if you absolutely need to ban someone and they are currently alive.)
 
    Another note: do not use Admin broadcast chat if you are dead and NOT IDed. You should also not use your Admin powers to sway a round by threatening to slay a player, ban a player, etc.
 
    This is a general guide for most scenarios that will occur on the server. There may be scenarios, however, that will not fall under this guide, so if one of those are to arise, use your best judgement.
 
General Procedure
 
Check the logs. While you should not assume someone is lying, it’s always good to confirm that an event did in fact occur. Another reason to do this is because the logs may give helpful insight into an event (and you may already be able to tell what happened by the logs alone.) Checking the shotlogs is also a good idea. Ask the person who may have RDMed. It’s good to also ask why someone killed another, as situations and circumstances may have occurred outside of the logs. If you are absolutely sure of it being an RDM without having asked the person, then you may punish them appropriately, but chances are asking them is the best way to go about this. Ask the person affected if they want the other slain. This is good practice, and it will also provide valuable input from the person whom was killed unjustly. Generally, someone should not be slain if the affected does not want them to be. (However, use your best judgement, as some circumstances such as blatant RDM may require a slay despite the affected’s answer.) Proceed with punishment. One or two RDM’s in a single round should warrant one or two slays, depending on what you feel best. If they have been constantly RDMing over a period of time, a ban is appropriate punishment.  
Useful Admin Commands to Know
 
/slaynr (name) will add one slay to a person, who will die on the next round start. You can also add a number after their name if you wish to add more than one. /rslaynr (name) and /removeslay (name) will both remove one slay from a person. You can add a number after their name here as well. /blink (name) will teleport players. Use this if they are stuck somewhere, or if they are in an area they should not be. /rename (name/player) (new name) will change a players name. Use this to change someone’s name if it is unreadable/not pronounceable. (Names containing racial slurs should warrant a kick.) /kick (name) (reason) will kick a player from the server. /ban (name) (time) (reason) will ban a player for a specific time and reason. Going into console and typing ttt_log will yield damage logs for that round. Logs will also print in console after the round is over. Additionally, you may type ttt_shotlog in console to produce the shotlogs for that round. Other commands such as /mute (name) to mute voice chat and /gag (name) to mute regular chat may be needed if they are excessively spamming.  
Extra Information
 
For all arguments above that require a name to be used, you can also use a players status number. To do so, you would put #(userIDnumber) instead of their name. For example, /rename #13 ExampleName. To find this number, you would type ‘status’ in the console.


Ban lengths are listed at the bottom of the rules. I advise you, if you have not already, read through the current rule set and the ban lengths provided at the bottom, if you are capable of banning for those lengths.
 
Final note: I'm sure updates will be made to this, so make sure to keep an eye out for possible updates.

As low as you're possibly willing to go. I promise you, for the majority of people, 30 mins is great. 
 
30 mins allows the maps to keep changing so things stay fun. It also keeps it so you want to continue to play the server. Say you are grinding a map, and you are really close to getting a PB. If it changes, it keeps the person wanting to replay that map, it'll keep players on the server since they want to replay maps. After the map changes, our attention changes to the next map. 
 
Anything above 30 really gets dull. You could change it to 35 or 40 but everyone will be pissed waiting out that extra 5-10 mins. 

So you're telling me on several occasions that someone called you sus while you were a T, and it resulted in people actually following / suspecting the T? 
 
Maybe you were just being sus ya know, doesn't necessarily have to be shots fired / near killings to be sus. I look at people who have no paranoia / fear to be pretty sus
 

Here's my two cents on the situation;
 
1. The decoy doesnt really cause 'mass' RDM, it will occasionally damage players and maybe only kill one person, but it doing damage is the whole point, as it's job is to knock people off of high places. Depending on the area thrown, they can be KOSable and while I understand your T buddy was the one whom threw it, 19 damage isnt THAT much (however I couldnt slay the one whom threw it as that was @daniel_) That'd be up to him why he didnt slay himself, but I still dont believe 19 damage warrents a slay for an accident.
 
2. I'm sure no ones calling suspicion for no reason, and thats not really an easy rule to police compared to other rules. Why should we limit calling suspicion when suspecting is a key aspect of the game? People will follow you and thats that, there isnt really anything inherently bad with that IMO. I dont think trying to limit what people can do, especially if they are Staff, will help any with the server still being worked on.
 
3. This is the solution thats kind of difficult to explain, as there was no proof/easy way to correctly identify who called the OG KOS if there even was one. I would rather not slay someone based on little proof, as from what I was getting is that a third part had called the KOS and that was his reason for following it. Admittly his other reason is pretty shitty, but he had also said he was just following a KOS. I personally didnt know, and with no consenus being reached, it would be hard to punish someone.
 
4. I do agree that an sG member should uphold the rules and try and hold a good image, but the problem with TTT:GO is that some people who may be in higher positions do not exactly know how to police the server right (not trying to rag on anyone.) The reason Nau and I responded and attempted to help is that we largely know how to Admin the server better than others. While I would like more people to help Admin on the server, I dont blame certain people for not knowing how to properly do so; the server is in a weird spot and Admining isnt always the easiest for this server in particular. 
 
I'm not trying to say that any of your points are necessarily incorrect, I just dont really agree with them. They still hold merit, and I'm sorry if you were truly RDMed and the shitty situation that devolved didnt help that case. Thank you for helping pop and supporting sG in other ways.

There was an overwhelming agreement that a KOS was called on you.
I think this should be chalked up to a misunderstanding as no admin can act on something without proof. Milkman should have been slain/dealt with - you're not wrong just based off his reasoning.
Decoys are not a problem and are typically used to reach high ground etc. Decoys specifically for griefing are usually punished.

I apologize that you felt mistreated and ridiculed but I do agree that admins on the servers do need to be more proactive in monitoring and enforcing.
 
 

If you find people breaking the rules, record it and make a report on the forums following our guidelines and the individuals will be dealt with accordingly.

Coming from hundreds of hours as staff on TTT Gmod, and hundreds of hours on other sG servers, I never had a problem with server quality or community.... until now. I don't have anything against any INDIVIDUAL players, although several of them are extremely childish.
 
Here's a summary of tonight's events that made me quit sG TTT:GO permanently. 
 
1. Round start, I was selected as Traitor.
2. Daniel damaged me for 18 with a decoy. Issue #1
3. Eagle called SUS on me for taking damage. Issue #2 
4. I stood still typing because my mic broke, and as I was typing out remarks defending myself, everyone started calling me an asshole and Milkman RDM'd me.
5. Nobody was held accountable for the actions, and I was ridiculed until leaving. Issue #3
6. lindsay was also ridiculed for helping me to find the forums and file a report, THE ONLY PERSON DOING THEIR JOB ON THE SERVER. Issue #4
 
I understand that this server is still in development, that is why I will turn this complaint into a SUGGESTION. I don't want any individuals listed punished in any way for their actions. 
 
Issue #1: The decoy is a terrible item that aggravates countless players and is used for mass RDM (always unpunished)
SOLUTION: Remove the decoy or alter that it only affects the user, or does no fall damage to surrounding players.
 
Issue #2: (Minor) Calling suspicion should be limited. On several occasions, popular players (loud players) would call suspicion on me for no reason (I had not fired any shots that round or been near killings), and it would result in me being tailed constantly throughout the round, ruining my T rounds.
SOLUTION: Encourage popular players (i.e. STAFF) not to call suspicion for no reason, and generally uphold good sportsmanship.
 
Issue #3: RDM is not a mystery. It's not hard to slay the RDMers, and Milkman even admitted to RDM'ing me on purpose because I was "being a dick". This is not a reason.
SOLUTION: Allegedly there are damage logs, and its not hard to remember who called the false KOS in the first place. Enforcement of the rules is CRUCIAL for server survival.
 
Issue #4: Despite being several sG members on the server, Lindsay and another sGr, can't remember who, were the only ones trying to help. (Although the sGr in question did it in a very rude way, it is still appreciated). I expected staff to try to HELP newer players, and not enable them to be bullied/RDM'd. 
SOLUTION: DO YOUR JOB!!!! Even if you are not a staff member, tasked with enforcing the rules, EVERY sG member is expected to uphold a good image for the sG community. If countless sG players are teaming up, enabling others to break server rules, and willingly breaking server rules themselves without punishment, you will lose your player base to toxic rulebreakers.
 
Thanks for reading all of this. I think it is very important to encourage discussion about improvements for the server, and not to have members discourage this discussion (!!! pointed remark !!!). I will stick to sG bhop for now, but I'm looking forward to playing other sG servers in the future.
 
 

Scoreboard now works more like traditional TTT.
 
Traitors can now see exactly who is alive at all times, Traitors see themselves and teamates see as CT, everyone else on T. Innocents and detectives see all traitors and innos on T team, detectives show as CT on the scoreboard.  
 
(Reverted due to lag)

Fixed.

If it's that annoying, I'll go ahead and disable it.

It is getting annoying real quick. I am tired of non-stop glass breaking in Agency.

Some of you may have noticed or not but I haven't been on in awhile or seen me that much. Even fewer of you know that I had a car accident a few months ago that also made me have some time off the server. I just wanted to let you guys know I started having seizures from the car wreck trauma to my head. I had a bad one a few weeks ago that I actually ripped my rotator cuff so badly I had to have surgery and now I am going through therapy to be able to use my left arm again. On another side note I have a form of epilepsy now that has a variety of triggers and gaming is on the list. SO until my arm heals and I can use it again and they find the right medicine to prescribe to me to suppress the seizures no more fast paced bright colored games for me either. Just wanted to update the people who care. So now you know. I will see you guys when I can  

Due to toxic behavior these members have had their clan status removed:

Updated for 5/1 to 6/13 of 2018.
92% of all shopmenu cash is spent on Cursaders wish, tome, book, and scroll of respawning - the other 27 items account for only 8% of cash I'm surprised how popular sock is, maybe because of the low price and name recognition (it isn't new) new items still seem to struggle (cloak, cache, blingtron, weapon sling) prismatic signet still undervalued ????? STAY TUNED

This issue is one that has a endless cycle. Favoritism happens and the only way to deal with it if it bothers you is get S.S.'s and demo's because everything will become here-say. I haven't been playing a lot lately myself because I am waiting on a few things to change about the server myself and I am tired of a few people as well but that is life, things will change in time they always do. Just so you know your "opinion" on who is good for an SO and appreciated does not align with everyone else so don't speak for the server. I haven't applied for SO personally because I know I have a temper and can be a rule nazi. Availability I don't believe should be the primary selection tool for the SO position or how popular they are among the players.
