This was a more difficult change than you might think.

Trickster Assassin is out and working. I need to figure out some more barrel models that can be used as prop_physics, and the expertise isn't done, but it should be good for now.

Alright this thread has been open long enough....
 
Water, you broke our PIP rule by posting a picture of Aero.
 
As it clearly states in the global guidelines, a violation of our PIP rule will result in a 2 week ban and that is the punishment you will receive.
 
 
/RESOLVED

This is actually a legit violation.  Aero did not give him written permission to post it.  Publicly available or not, Aero has deemed it sensitive.
 
 
Water, your argument is that because you can find it on the web, it is public and therefore can be posted.  That's not how PIP works.  fatb0y and I got *all* of our information from publicly available people search engines like Zabasearch.  Just because you can find it online does not mean you can post it.  The fact that Aero has requested that you remove the information and you still have refused to do so only strengthens the case that you should be banned because of a PIP violation.
 
Regards,
 
-Co-author of the PIP section of the rules. 

Evilhunter32, formerly known as water.exe, posted my facebook status on the forums. It was not a link nor my last name, but he posted my picture without my consent. This is a violation to the sG global guidelines. Numerous people have found me by that picture.

Firefighter for music advisor.

Kiss my ass as much as you want, I will never give you positive rep again.  That was a one-time mistake.

Its been a fun couple of years but it must come to the end. Been staff for too long now and video games just ain't that fun anymore.

 

I will most likely pop in once every blue moon to see how things are going. 

 

Feel free to put me at whatever rank you see fit.

 

Lots of love,

But in all seriousness, I think the time has come for me to resign. I have recently moved off to college, and although I sometimes think about sitting down and bullshitting with the crew, I just don't think I can do it anymore. I used to put in a lot of time as a staff member, but in the last 6 months or so, sG has been getting less and less dedication from my side. I had competition back then, and I had more fun around here, but there's a lot of fresh faces that I just don't connect with and bullshit around with like I could before. I've had a good run as a staff member, but I think it is time to let someone else move on up in the community (no, don't promote more people). I come on here and check the forums, but, I guess school has started and they just don't seem to entice me like before. I will pop around sometimes, and maybe I'll hop on teamspeak or steam every now and then, but that's probably the extent of my stay for now.

 

I may be back in full force in a year or so, but I think it's time to move on from gaming in general. I've done it for over 11 years, been playing counter-strike for 9 years, and I've been with sG for about 6 years. I don't think I will forget this place (as I said, I will most likely pop up here and there), and maybe I'll be back here to fuck around after I've settled into college some more, but that's doubtful at this point. I don't take gaming as serious as I used to, and that's when I found it more fun.

 

see ya later bros.

 

also, pce out and love ya matty n daniel  also anyone that i had been hanging around with almost every day or every other day. there's too many to list, but pce out guys. you made my excessive downtime fun 

Its been a fun couple of years but it must come to the end. Been staff for too long now and video games just ain't that fun anymore.
 
I will most likely pop in once every blue moon to see how things are going. 
 
Feel free to put me at whatever rank you see fit.
 
Lots of love,

P.S. - If I see Renegade get SO, I will personally ninja my staff back and demote him. 

I plan on doing several later this week.

It’s that time again! As summer is coming to an end and school is starting for a lot of our community (including staff) we’re expanding our staff to start off the new school year. These people have been chosen based on their activity and dedication toward the community throughout the past few months, and I’m sure they will work to improve the community in the future. The list of new Advisors is as follows:
Eddy – Event Advisor/Junior JB Advisor Tristan – Event Advisor fps_trucka – Event Advisor/ZE Advisor DogsGoMeow – Minecraft Advisor/Engineer Along with adding new Advisors, we are shifting the responsibilities of a few existing Advisors.
Diabeticdaniel - Jailbreak Advisor to Counter-Strike Advisor Spell - Event Advisor to Jailbreak Advisor I’d also like to congratulate Josh on being promoted to Operations Manager from his former position as Senior Engineer. He has been an integral member of staff, proving himself to be a valuable asset to the community.
 
With good news comes bad. Unfortunately, I’m sad to say that Someguy will be leaving us. He put a lot of work into the Minecraft server but unfortunately it seems some real life issues have come up. I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
 
September 7th, 2013 Update:
 
I'd also like to welcome driz to the team as an Engineer following his acceptance into the clan on 9/1/2013. We've been scoping him out as a potential Staff member previous to being accepted and he has proven he is dedicated to helping out the community with his vast knowledge and experience with Linux systems. I'm sure he will be a great asset to the community!

Drake is bad and so are you

No, what is bull about knife racing getting nerfed into the ground is the sheer amount of slows/bashes/freezes/blinds that exist on gun races, despite being a "low % proc" seem to proc every hit for some reason.*
 
Then we have the hard counters for infected in terms of Holy paladin... Why the  hell should a pistol be procing upwards of 30+ bonus damage towards infected... Sure make it do bonus damage, don't make it "spray pistol into infected chest to kill him, no matter how good he is."
 
We also need to add necklace of immunity back  to knife races-- If i want to drop 7k to be immune to your roots/slows/bashes, you still have bullets to kill me. Or if you want to keep the roots as a way to stop knife races, at the very least make Holy shield actually block abilities( and not just +ability ones..., those aren't an issue). If you aren't willing to do that... add back in totem of ice-- which reduced time of slows from the god damn 1.5-2 seconds they are on every single bash race to .33 seconds.
 
Also quick thing-- Perma restrict Auto snipers/negevs from Any race with bash/blinds/shake... Like what the hell, you can't do anything if someone gets a hold of one of those--
 
*Why a low % chance to happen seems to happen every hit is beyond me.. The fact that it lasts for so long and procs so often defeats the purpose of having a it last a long time..  Either it procs very often and lasts for a small amount of time (.5 secs) OR it procs 5% of the time and lasts for 2 seconds.. The fact that it procs for what, 1-2 seconds(depends on race iirc) and procs often coupled with the insane fire rate of some guns, means you can't exactly do anything as a knife race if someone lands that first proc, since you know that they are going to get the next proc.
 
 
Edit: For thorgot, who listens to me complain about this. Post was merely made as a rant on my opinion towards knife races and their balance. Not trying to bash you for your willingness to actually listen and balance stuff! <3 you.
