Agrippa

Lesser played maps now feature bonus experience!

Gargoyle pwr!!!!

damn it it happened again

Fixed Accuri being able to TP with hostage (whoops!)
 
Anti Mage no longer removes grenades or c4 with ammo removal skill -- instead minibashes any player that is not using a primary, secondary, or tazer. The ult now deals 20 damage if the player does not have a primary weapon on them.
 
Gravitas skill that lowers gravity for teammates now also increases their speed by 25% and has no cooldown. Because of removal of the cooldown, the duration has been reduced to 5 seconds. (molotov your team to get out of spawn faster new meta).
 
Gargoyle drops first two weapon slots 1 second after spawning if they are anything.
 
edit:
Fixed angel of light aura not re-triggering if a player remained close to the angel and regained their invis after the 10 seconds.

Added a menu to see skill stats. Type skillstats to see a list of connected players and select one, or skillstats <playername> to go directly to a player's stats. The stats are currently unordered, sorting by kills, damage and deaths will come soon. And then top lists so you can see who is the best at everything!

To help with the mg event coming soon.
P.S. I'm coming for ya ctark and thorgot.

So that Rayne nub been bugging me for racelist, I'm guessing a lot of you out of curiosity would like to see it too if only to see if you 'Thorgot' any races.
 
The only confusing thing reading this would be skilllvls for Mr. S. where 1408 means setting 1, skill 4 needs to be level 08. Also with marlute/harlute, where 2100 means setting 2, skill can not be higher than skill 1 (hardware). A lot of the races also never had fleshed out raceinfos so the specific procs/bonuses are not included in WCS1 racelist.

And heres a bonus wcs2 one, which denotes precisely all procs/bonuses due to old code:

What races do you miss and wish we had remade?
 
I really miss seeing Lord of the Pit, Selune, Neve, Duskian, Mimic; I feel like enough people played them and enjoyed them while others whored them quite effectively. A personal favourite, Rakdos is also missing. Other shitty ones like Reptilian, Outlaw, Troll, SWAT, Swindler, Dark Mage and Time Lord with their utter bullshit were also hilarious.

Fixed ROTD for real this time, you should get a new one every day.
Shotguns now do +X damage once per shot, not once per bullet. % damage is unaffected.
Made Pyromaniac and Ogre show as [G] in the changerace menu and fixed Dwarven Tanks to be [!]. If you have suggestions for other symbols let me know as there's now an easy way to add them.
Cash command now works starting round 5 to put it in line with the rules.
Fixed a bunch of sourcemod errors on various races.

Friends, sadly it's time to reinstate the Janitor's Project (JP). In the past, JP was a tool used to rid UV/sG of super trolls from the community. These weren't your normal "haha" trolls. These trolls did nothing positive for the community and terrorized recruits and respectable members. To prevent this tool from being used for tyranny. A majority staff vote must be achieved to expel members from the clan.
With a standing vote of 15-2 Boondocks has been JP'd from the clan.
His recent thread flaming a recruit earned the nomination of JP candidate.

Constantly antagonizes and flames recruits and other members
Whenever he's in Teamspeak he is always jumping from channel to channel with the purpose to annoy and troll everyone in the channel.
keeps breaking rules even after warnings and infractions.

To expand on the constant warnings and infractions, here is a list of infractions that earned the JP nomination:

**All listed infractions have been given to him in a 14 month period**

19 RACISM INFRACTIONS

4 FLAMING INFRACTIONS

10 RECRUITMENT VOTING INFRACTIONS

2 WELCOMING/RESPECT INFRACTIONS

3 SEVERE FLAMING/FLAMING STAFF INFRACTIONS

2 SEVERE TROLLING INFRACTIONS

Just so we're clear, this is NOT a permanent ban. His clan status has been removed. This clan removal eliminates his ability to have rank admin on our servers and removes his community voting privileges.

Everyone take notice. sG will not tolerate excessive trolling and the denigration of fellow gamers for your own amusement.

- sG Staff

Added race of the day. This is a different race for each player on which they can play regardless of level requirement and on which they receive 50% extra xp.

Your race will be displayed to you when you join, but if you forget you can type "rotd" into chat to be reminded. You can also "changerace rotd" to switch to it directly!

Let us know if you have any issues with this feature, including your rotd changing more than once per day or not changing at midnight central time.

Lilith is literally OP as fuck. There is no way to counter its ultimate which basically lets anyone get behind you and kill you without even a challenge. Please balance this race.

New Host Updates:
 
Community, let me apologize for the lack of correspondence in what's been going on and catch you up. 
As you know, we began moving some services over to the new host. Teamspeak has been running on the new host for about 2 days now. You may have also noticed that the website seems much snappier and shouts are instant. this is because we also moved the web server. We lost about 45 minutes of data at 9pm central last night but i think the performance gain was worth it. 
 
With that there is some not-so-good news. We took the servers down for maintenance to sync the database to the new server, NO INFORMATION HAS BEEN LOST, but the passwords are causing issues. Ctark and I worked for about 12 hours on everything last night and we both had to bail for sleep before work. Klark and jason are aware of the current status and will also be assisting. Once we correct the permissions your levels and such will work again. 
 
Currently all servers are running on the new box except ttt while i copy over maps. zach pointed out that maps were stored in a different location and they are now being synced. csgo persistent favorites should have updated for those so you may not have even noticed. css and gmod do NOT have persistent favorites at this time so they are a manual update. Tonight we will move css servers back over to limestone until persistent favorites are fixed. 
 
Let me reiterate that we have NOT reset levels or any other items.
 
I will try to continue providing relevant updates as they come. we do apologize for the issues, but part of our goal in this host change is to clean up items that haven't been used for years. we did this with the website and you can definitely see a speed increase in the responsiveness. We want this same quality for all the game servers and I'm sure you can all agree it's worth it. While we try to do things late at night when the population is low, we have jobs/lives too and must sleep. We hope to avoid cutting into play time in the future but until the transition is 100% it may occur. We expect to be fully on the new host within 1 week at which time things should stabilize.
 
Approximately 2 weeks after that we will have another outage while the host upgrades our CPU in the new box to the newest best performing single threaded processor existing. they will also double our bandwidth, our hard drive space, our ssd space, and our memory. this outage can be up to 24 hours, but very clearly worth it.
 
Here are the new IPs:
 
MC - 173.234.61.205 War3 - 173.234.237.51 JB - 173.234.237.52 TTT - 173.234.237.53 ZE - 173.234.237.54 MG - 173.234.237.55 Bhop - 173.234.237.56 Surf - 173.234.237.57 Cinema - 173.234.237.58 WCS - 173.234.237.59  

Community,
Lets start here, you guys probably saw the ping tests to OVH and heard some rumors. We'll settle that first. OVH failed to meet their obligation to us and we have cancelled service and requested our money back. Basically most things they advertised were false and they caused a multitude of other issues. We have made the decision to proceed with End of Reality gaming and are working with the company now. I have completed the negotiations and i think we did rather well on the deal.

Here are the specs of the server and I will post the current server for comparison.
 
CURRENT SERVER:CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1270-V2MEM: 16G DDR3 1333SSD: Samsung 840 128GHDD: 2x 500G 7200 RPMLGA 1155 Intel C202 Mobo1x 1Gbps uplink/28 subnet5TB Bandwidthno DDoS protection 
 
NEW SERVER:CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1280-V3MEM: 32G DDR 1600SSD" Samsung 740 512GHDD: 1x 1TB 7200 RPMLGA 1155 Intel C202 Mobo2x 1Gbps uplink2x /29 subnet10TB Bandwidth1Gbps DDoS protection
You can clearly see the improvement in every category. Lets discuss CPU. our current CPU for single threaded applications (like css/csgo/gmod) ranks 2065. the new cpu ranks 2317 and is the best cpu for single threaded apps there is.
Of note is that the cpu we are getting is NOT a "stocked" cpu, they are special ordering it for us. They, so far, have seemed very willing to special order anything we want if we are accepting of the lead time and contractual obligation to do so.

The Second NIC link is actually 50/mo but i negotiated to get this free. We also got a pretty big discount after quite a few emails. Their responsiveness has been amazing thus far.

Something we have all feared is moving to new hardware and IPs changing. Well, that doesnt technically change here. If you purchase a box, there is a /29 assigned to it for tracking purposes. If you move to a new box it's a new /29. However, if we purchase a second /29 it CAN move with us.
So if we break this down, lets say the first /29 is used for things that rely on dns, like bgpanel, the website, teamspeak, minecraft and a couple other things internal to staff, then the IP change wont matter, we just update dns. for the css/csgo servers where we use ip, the floater /29 would be used and can follow us to new hardware if we upgrade.

All sounds amazing right? well there is a downside.

the 1Gbps DDoS protection is 1Gbps MORE than we currently have, but will not be enough for the attacks we have seen against ZE/JB. That being the case, after we exceed the 1Gbps point, we will still be null routed. The good note is where limestone nulls us for up to 24 hours (i dont think it's been higher than this???) the MAX we can be nulled with the new host is 8 hours. The DDoS protection will cover approximately almost all of the small attacks we receive. There is no host we can afford that can take the DDoS attacks ZE/JB have experienced.

As you all know the large DDoS attacks are the primary reason we are leaving limestone. They basically told us we weren't going to be renewed because of the attacks. I have in writing from the new host that being attacked does NOT violate TOS and we will NOT be cancelled for it ever. They will null us when needed but that is all.

So, bottom line, EVERYTHING is better, there is not one single aspect of this new host that is a loss for us. The fundraiser was for a new cpu and we got it and much more. have we fixed the DDoS attacks? no. We can only address our security concerns internally and filter where possible, but if someone hits us for 10Gbps again, we will be nulled for 8 hours.

Their network is setup so that your closest ingress point to their network will be how you come in, then you ride their internal MPLS to reach our server. This SHOULD mean lower latency and less hops for any user farther away from the datacenter. Here are the pint test IP addresses.

Atlanta, GA - Test IP: atl.eoreality.net
Chicago, IL - Test IP: chi.eoreality.net
Dallas, TX - Test IP: dal.eoreality.net
Los Angeles, CA - Test IP: lax.eoreality.net
New York, NY - Test IP: ny.eoreality.net
Seattle, WA - Test IP: sea.eoreality.net
London, UK - Test IP: lon.eoreality.net

here are my results.

We are impressed by this host and have a good feeling, but like any responsible person, we will be testing them for a period of time before we commit to them.

Hello Syndicate Gamers,
 
Tonight, we’re going to be bringing you some good news and some bad news.
 
First, we would like to congratulate skitt on his promotion to General Engineer, he will be working to ensure everything continues to run smoothly. Make sure you welcome him onto the team!
 
Now comes some bad news - We've had a disagreement with our host and thus we are looking toward a host with better DDoS mitigation. This migration will cause us to to change all of our server IP’s. We have assessed all of our options and feel that this is our best and only option. With this move, we will also be upgrading our servers as promised earlier.
 
As some of you may know from our past IP change, we took a large hit in our server population. We hope the community can help us get back on our feet after this change and just show how great our community is by supporting our servers through this difficult time.
 
A post will be made in the future containing more information. More specifically, when the move will occur and what we will be doing to mitigate the effects of the IP change.
 
 
-Mimic, Chairman of the JCS

After hours of debate in the staff skype convo, we (read: I) have unanimously agreed to unban you with the warning if you fuck up again, and get caught by the anti-cheat, it will ban you again.
 
Also, I get banned testing shit all the time, the only difference is I can unban myself.
 
Your punishment will be a change in member title.

For those who may have seen my original introduction post made well over a year ago, this is just a more proper introduction. My original one was written by Prok n Chiri and was purely a joke, so don't take that one seriously at all.
 
Anyway, I'm Blublub. I play on the bhop server and have for a few years now. I don't really play any games other than CSS (bhop4lyf) unless you count the random MMORPG a friend of mine may make me play here and there. You'll generally never see me with the same name as I always change it depending on what happens in the server. My current name on steam is Epileptic Warning because of the way I move my mouse when I bhop. It caused a person to say "You should come with an epilepsy warning." The main way to identify me with all of my name changes is to just listen to voices. I generally have the lowest voice out of everyone on the server. I also pretty much take the part as the guy on the server who teaches others how to bhop better, whether it be tips, how to get started, etc. If anyone here is interested in playing bhop, join the server and see if I'm there. If I'm on I'll gladly help out or give tips. And the server just got a new timer about 8-10 months ago I believe it was. If you played prior to then, it would probably be worth it to drop by and see what's new.
 
That's pretty much all I can think of to put in here for now, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask / comment on anything. Enjoy the mini wall of text.
 
TL;DR: I'm Blublub, I bhop. I can help people get better at bhop.
