Thats not "handing out admin", actually thats finding the people that are dedicated to the server and asking them if they'd be willing. 
 
And actually, considering the fact that me and Dad? havent even been given a chance to admin, and also when we did admin for that short time we did our jobs. There was some miscommunication but besides that no problems. 

So you expect us to just hand out admin to anybody who “deserves it”? Even if we did, the more and more you two fucking retard monkey fucks talk about this topic the more I seem to think you don’t deserve to admin any of our servers 

That isn't much of a counter argument. The point is that MOST servers don't offer it, SG is an exception apparently. However, I'm waiting for October to send over those "almost 99% of servers offer staff as a donation rank" screenies. We'll see buddy.

The only fucking counter claim was "Oh SO's have lives so they cant be on that much. Thats why we have this thing where you can pay to do whatever you want to everyone on the server!!"
 
I understand the fact that alleviating stress of the Server Officers is important, but you dont need to have those people pay. There are plenty of people willing to apply that have been on the server, willing to admin for free. Theres never a need to make someone pay for that. 
 
 

Oh please brag with me, happy to compare dick sizes if that's your method of attempting to prove someone inadequate. I'll be waiting for those screenshots by the way, aiming for 70% buddy.

Nah honey, this isnt about arguing. You're the ones that love to say we're wrong when we know in fact we're right. SOOO i mean you can go ahead and get screenshots. That doesnt change the fact how bad the system is. 

Alright, we got a few problems here; class is in session.
 
One, you're assuming that we don't know each other in real life when in fact, we do.
 
Two, you're using the term "Every" a bit too much there, I would beg to differ that EVERY staff member and SO has intentions on helping the server, some (won't say names lotmushr), are there for the thrill of feeling powerful because of their lack of authority in real life; you don't have to relieve your anger on the ones who support your little hobby of feeling above others. It's okay to see a counselor or perhaps even talk to your parents once or twice.
 
Lastly, most servers don't offer a paid admin position, they offer a DONATOR position that is given MINIMAL perms necessary to contain the basic offenses. Not the ability to ban, kick, or anything of that sort. If you're going to attempt to sound good at what you do or intelligent, at least use some facts to minimize your embarrassment.

That's cute! You're trying to negate the fact that these servers are so thirsty for money that they offer staff privileges and commands for money and then the SO's, who don't pay for their rank, bitch about the Paidmins actually enforcing the rules without being a complete cunt. Cherry picking your information is a magical thing.
 
You sir might have the rare developmental disorder commonly referred to as Autism or Autism Spectrum. It's a mental condition, present from early childhood, characterized by difficulty in communicating and forming relationships with other people and in using language and abstract concepts. Too much SO'ing really fucks you up man, maybe take a break from the constant sucking off of staff members and look for something better in life.

Maybe they are still talking about it because of how wrong you are.
 
First, you don't need special equipment to carry out a DoS. DoS attacks can be done several ways. I think the way you are thinking is to have a very fast internet connection and saturate a servers connection by shear bandwidth. Usually pure bandwidth attacks are DDoS which is distributed and using a botnet(multiple spread out computers/servers usually infected). However, there are other ways for single machine to do a DoS which involve vulnerabilities in software or hardware. The only equipment you need is a computer and internet line.
 
Second, we are not unprotected. Our host provider has very fast connections to handle bandwidth saturation by DDoS and also has network hardware appliances to filter out other types of attacks and attempt to block some DDoS coming in so it doesn't reach the servers. The reason we picked this host is because of that protection. We don't need some white knight admin constantly on the server waiting to defend the server from the evil script kiddie. We have(or our host has) a big ol'e box with a bunch of wires connected to it and Arbor Networks written on it.
 
Third, I have no idea why you think not having an admin on would make someone want to commence an attack. Normal attacks come from pissed off children with mommy and daddies credit card that got banned from the server or they are trolls wanting to show off their e-peen... either way they WANT an ADMIN on. They want to show off or get back so an admin needs to be there. On the flip-side when servers get attacked randomly and there happens to be no admins on I can guarantee they don't give a shit if an admin is on or not. They are either a rival community trying to take down a competitor or they are just attacking the top servers on the browser list. The later is what's prominent in not just gmod but any online games. There are people that look at the most amount of players and go after those server regardless of admins being on or not.
 
So before you go running your mouth how we are unprotected why don't you do some actual research... or at least realize there are people in this community who are not children and have more knowledge then you because they work in industries that have to deal with such attacks on a much bigger scale then a gaming community with game servers.

no, i don't have the equipment to do that. 
 
but someone that does could could easily do it because of how unprotected it is
 
Sometimes when people are looking to dos a server, they look to see if their are admins online. 
 
Usually doesnt change the outcome of the person choosing to dos but that's why i did say it. 
 
Not contradicting, just didn't explain myself correctly. 
 
Like i said before, why are we still talking about this? President orange just basically said police brutality is ok and we worried about me accidentally typing somethin wrong even tho i corrected myself let's get our priorities together 

@KiD Fearless
 
Hopped on and saw cs_jailbreak, this is all my personal opinion, but if you want the map to succeed I think it needs changes - anyone can feel free to disagree with me openly on this...
 
CT spawn entrance to the yard (the fence) should not directly face an entrance to the building. I know they can go around to the rubble wall or w/e, but that's substantially slower... I just feel in general that fence makes the map play slower than it needs to Need shit in the yards. Trucks, sheds, containers, something. I know it's a jail yard but most jail yards aren't void of life entirely. It's very difficult or impossible for Ts to leave the building if they wanted to get cheeky, flank, etc. Along with the problem mentioned in the above point, needs an entrance and/or windows on the roof (see: cs_assault) to give more entry points for CTs Needs stuff on the roof to offer some protection if you tried to exit on the roof. Maybe just a couple AC units and a utility building or something (see: cs_crackhouse) I think it could use an underground entrance. Maybe create a tunnel from one of the cells to outside the jail yard wall as if a prisoner was trying to escape. Maybe even connect it between a few cells (they were working together!). See cs_militia I feel like after opening up more angles for CTs, Ts might need more protection. Maybe put some long tables flipped on their side facing the front, lower-level door for example. Right now it plays a little too much of the "Ts have no reason to leave, CTs are limited on their ability to enter"

I heard once you get csgo pro to 1500 you unlock Divine Engineer

If people spent half as much time leveling races as they did worrying about expertise, they might have found the most OP expertise on War3... too bad it still sits patiently... waiting to be discovered.

I will come out of retirement to change/remove them all

Hello everyone. As some may remember I asked about making a War3 guide on Steam a few months (?) earlier. I worked on it but scrapped the project due to struggles. Well I am back again and this time instead of using Steam's Guide, which is difficult to maneuver especially with the amount of content that War3 has, I am going to use Google Sheets which I should've from the beginning tbh. This time I hope to actually finish this task considering how easier it is to use Sheets. I might periodically drop in an updated link but for now this will be open for a while while I decide on what to tackle next.
 
Comment your suggestions on how to improve the guide and what I should add, either on the Sheets or on here! 
 
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1g9pfLPgx3SLMIGAE5BIC6BYt1G22761mSCP7aehv83Q/edit?usp=sharing
 
My goal with this guide is to not only keep me focused but to also provide some help for new and experienced players alike. (derp)
*If someone can help with specific numbers please let me know! It will greatly expand the guide.

cs_jailbreak_v1 - Kid Fearless
For Jailbreak I think he could just block off some cells especially if there was a lurker which is 95% invis u would have to check at least 30 spots maybe just close it off a little. And maybe a window for the T's
 
will edit for other maps once played

Oh shit war 3 drama! Let's go! 
 

Was just notified by Bulletford we have a fix for the afk kicker. It will be enabled by the end of the day! Hope this info helps. See you all on wc3.

Can you fucks not go 3 months without trying to cheat on war3? Holy fuck you guys should be penetration testers with all the bullshit things you do to circumvent actually playing the game.

Sounds are no longer are controlled by music volume, You can now reduce your music volume without worrying about hearing silenced scouts Fixed death sounds not playing sprite error fixes and cleanup, I found out that the traitor buttons are the cause of sprite issues, I think I fixed it. Let me know if you experience it again. new c4 lcd hud(see below), Also made it oriented correctly(not upside down anymore) changed silenced scout sound fixed voice notification counting for staff on round end Sprint plugin added, Double tap W to sprint (see video below)

 
 
 

Hey guys; I am really hoping we could make a few changes to our surf server and if a staff member could take some time to implement these changes, I would be really greatful, as would some regulars.
@bulletford You're the dude for this server so I am tagging you.
 
1.) Starting health starts at 100, even if you have max health. It used to be at 190(with max health) and now it starts at default.
(don't fix this yet, I am going to see other peoples stance on this.)
After a week of starting at 100 HP, I like prefer it like this, it is easier for newer people to actually kill you. I would like to keep it this way for now.
2.) Take the AFK kicker off, and just change it to spectate without kicking the player out. It is annoying when I am browsing the web and such, and it will make the server look more full, also AFK kicker can take away RPG points.
This is something I really want done for the server.
 
3.) Ice stab leaves behind a blue tower thing, which it shouldn't.
 
4.) Add in an ingame radio as I have had this brought up to me a few times.
People really want this.
 
5.) Lower the map time from 30+ minutes to 22.5, or 22 minutes, another request from regulars.
 
6.) New RPG stat, Regenerating Armor: 1 armor regen for 40 credits, 65 for two regeneration max.
I'm not sure if we want to implement this. However it feels like a good idea.
Bullet, if you want, you can decide those values.
 
7.) I will be finding new maps for the server, and requesting to take off "shitty maps" as regulars request depending on the map. This won't be for awhile.
 
8.) Fix !quake
 
9.) Give all new players 13 levels(50 credits), as this game mod sucks ass at level 0, and is almost impossible to enjoy.
 
10.) Double xp weekends.
 
11.) 100% refunds for selling RPG stats.
 
12.) can we add a command so if you type !spec, you will be moved to spectate?
 
Ideas are welcome!
 
EDIT: Changing values for the RPG stat.
Can someone move this to the RPG surf section of the forums please.

Can someone give L4 access to /sonic on jailbreak? We can do speed and color but not sonic which is literally a combination of the two commands  
 
Haven't tested if we have /ninja either but i know we can do gravity and color as well. 

Hiya guys, thought I'd share an idea that I was hyped about working on. I'm calling it the Legendary system, modeled similarly to World of Warcraft's legendary equipment system. Equipping a Legendary will alter a race in a way slightly, much like an expertise. Unlike expertise though, you can acquire and store a currency called Shards in order to unlock a Legendary and potentially have one unlocked for a race you have at level 0. Each race will have a handful of Legendaries; I'm thinking 3 each for starters. Players are limited to one Legendary item equipped at a time.
The main way of acquiring a Legendary would be simply playing the game: obtaining a kill (higher chance if headshot) or planting/defusing/hostaging/winning the round/healing as Trinity+Holy Paladin+Priest will each have a very small % to obtain a random Legendary. A smaller chance will give you a Shard instead, which will allow you to pick which Legendary you get. Shards could be given away freely every 500 total levels or so. Mabey a present could even drop at a low chance on kill similar to eggs/pumpkins, which yield either a legendary or a Shard. Crazy freeforall rush for the loot!
 
Here's some quick visuals. The Legendaries menu will be brought up by typing "legendary" into chat, similar to changerace.
 
Then, selecting a race will reveal you the Legendary available to it and what each does. Selecting the Artifact will then equip it if you have it and then close the menu (similar to picking a race). Here's an example screen of someone who owns two Undead Scourge Legendaries(notice the third is greyed out because he doesn't have it -- if he had a Shard then the text would be red and selecting it would consume the shard and unlock it for him).
 
I like the system for two reasons. One: It adds another layer of depth into the game, something else to strive for when killing people. Currently, the two things players can obtain by playing the game are server rank and levels -- this adds another reward system to constantly fuel that desire for dopamine.
Two: The system will certainly add a small level of powercreep but will be a great way to finetune older races into importance and we'll finally see some races being played again. Additionally, it adds a small level of customization into the game. Our diehard Trickster Assassin or Shadow Lurker fans can choose which route they want to specialize in to suit their playstyles.
 
The shard system also allows additional p a y 2 w i n options in addition to our current ones. Supporters can have an increased drop rate for legendaries. Players could also flatout buy Shards, similar to buying credits for other our pay2win servers like JB and ZE. We're gonna be rich.
 
Please share thoughts! I was excited to work on the system myself but wanted to create a race first in order to prove to myself that I could code. I'm busy & putting it off for now but if anyone wants to start refining/working on this (if greenlit by Engies), go right ahead. We could also have a War3 event to kickstart the system with increased drop rates for the duration of the event. Events are always fun.
