    Every wipe I make a Stay Cool pic, man I love that sun.

     
    This wipe I made a clan themed sun, my favorite so far
     

     
    My airlock is like 3-4 foundations long so I never know which one's the exit -- this sun warns me that it's dangerous out there.

    Dear Matthew,
     
    I think your post is very touching, but you're full of shit.
     
    http://tangoworldwide.net/index.php?topic=19732.0
     
    Here's a thread I found from just typing in your steam username in Google. Here we can see that it was fairly recent, only April of this year. We can also observe the fact that several players are already stating you're an immature cunt.
     
    Do us all a favor and kindly fuck off.
     
    Yours truly,
    All of Syndicate Gamers

    Rootbeer reacted to Muezza Ansar al-Fitnah in Rules regarding racism   
    Hey so I was playing on your server today when an admin warned me for racism. I had no idea what I had said until he pointed out my use of the "n" word. Yikes.
    Before I go on, I want to be clear that I'm not trying to stir up trouble, provoke anybody, or just be a general nuisance. I don't know if I've played on your server in the past, but I enjoyed my time on it today and I think the staff is pretty laid back and chill. I appreciate that Irony (the staff who warned me) tried to explain the rule and directed me to the forums, rather than simply kick me or mute me. I can respect the restraint.
    But I seriously have a problem with the apparent rule. I absolutely used the "n" word. I use it so often that I don't even consciously add it to my sentences anymore. Regardless, I can confidently say that I never said anything racist. My use of the word "niggah" was benign. It was a casual pronoun, not a derogatory insult. 
     
    There's no such thing as a 'racist word'. A word can have a negative connotation attached to it, sure, but it's meaning is defined by context and perception. Beyond a small minority, I highly doubt anybody is going to be offended by the word I used, within the context I used it. I just can't fathom how casually referring to a friend as "nigga" could possibly be construed as an expression of racism. That's just not how language works. 
     
    Now I completely understand the reasoning behind your rule! Trust me, I really do. I know how common it is to have mindless idiots pop into the server spewing inflammatory remarks simply to get a rise out of people. Trolls exist, of course. And I understand that having these rules makes the server more accessible and accommodating to any demographic. You guys are a community. You want to keep things inviting and friendly. 
    But I really feel that arbitrarily banning words for their perceived negative baggage is just not the morally correct choice. I'd even go as far to say that it's divisive and alienating.
     
    Again I'm honestly not trying to be contrary or annoying. I just seriously feel that the rules should be adjusted to address obvious racist intent and hate speech, rather than blacklist individual words.
    The word is part of my vocabulary, but I'm not a racist person by any stretch of the imagination, and I'm sure there are plenty of people just like me. Is it really alright to punish us for thoughtlessly letting a word slip? I just can't wrap my head around it.
     
    I hope you guys give this a little thought and approach it objectively. 
    Either way, thanks for reading!

    To be fair 22 bans was a huge red flag for anyone who didn't know about the bans prior to viewing my sourcebans page. Driz was just doin' his job and I wouldn't question him doing it again to someone else. I was told though that self-bans don't apply to the 6-ban rule so I'm glad we got that cleared up.
     
     
     
     
    Can I still self-ban myself

    Oh look, a bunch of buttmad JB kids hating on squid for having fun. Kek.
     
    Guarantee nothing that he did during any of those rounds actually affected them, they're just being cunts as per the usual. I'm also willing to bet that the people he 'abused' didn't really give a shit either. Good show as to why I don't play that shitty server anymore. Likewise, I'm sure that's why Cows barely ever gets on it anymore.
     
    Sad to see kids playing a game, but not treating it like it's a game. Eventually the meaning of 'fun' might return to JB, probably never anytime soon.

    Just head to a spot directly away from the vent cell, keep your screen 45 degrees to the left or right of the cell but have the vent in sight and you're good to go.

    Should probs clarify that the LR listed as "one bullet in" LR sounds extremely like United Nations day, in which the T's are KOS if they pull out the gun. IDK if the OP forgot to include that or UN day has devolved into something weird but people could confuse the two.

    Rootbeer got a reaction from Velo in How Often Should the Rust Server Wipe?   
    Posted at 3 am so I couldn't give much depth or thought to the reasoning.
     
    Official servers wipe bi-weekly, partly to prevent huge castles and partly to freshen up the environment and level the playing field for newcomers and veterans alike. Official servers are usually decently populated, if not highly. Higher population size = more competition for resources -- generally you don't run around and gather 30k of each resource in one trip like you do in our server. This means that bases are usually smaller than the ones on our server. Takeaway: getting to lategame rust is highly accelerated in our server and bases will be much larger (harder to raid).
     
    Higher population size also means that your base will be raided more often. With a low pop server, less people will hinder your base's growth and Rust basically becomes Castle Building Sim 2016. Raiding is highly discouraged as nearly all 6 players on the map have the resources to wall off their base 10-fold, each layer costing a whole lot more time to tackle than to create. With the usual players on a stand-off, who else is there to raid but the random stray person or pair to happen upon our server? We encourage picking on the small with these huge bases.
     
    With a weekly wipe, our casuals will at least have something to do after the first week besides bullying the players who started late. Raiding eachother will be substantially easier and also much more rewarding as every newly gained gun or resource is valued a whole lot more when you don't have a huge stash of both.
