Hey guys, I'm stepping down. I don't have enough time to put into jailbreak and with school starting I will have less time to be active on the server.
 
I'd like to thank staff for giving me a chance as SO and I hope I did a good job admining the server and brought fun to it during my short period as SO.
 
I love jailbreak and for the past 3 years i've seen it grow and thrive. It has been a pleasure playing with the oldies and new jailbreak players.
 
Again, thanks for the time as SO and I hope I did you guys well. I cannot wait to see in the future the people who will be SO to keep jailbreak alive and thriving.
 
It has been a blast being SO and I hope to assume the role again when I know I can be active again. Again, thank you for the opportunity to SO a server I loved playing for 3 years it has been fun!
 
Thanks again!

I've spent the last week or so thinking about whether or not I should still hold onto my SO position. I've only had it for about exactly 3 months now, but I feel like it's already time for me to let it go. Some people have probably noticed that I've been somewhat inactive in the JB server for the past couple of weeks. Half of that was because of spending time I usually used for JB on making Dojo, and porting maps to CSGO. The other half was tired of constantly attempting to police the server rather than play the game. I just don't want to be the guy who was only known for holding onto a position that wasn't being utilized.
 
For the past 3 years, I've always wanted to have admin powers to better the server, but now I realize I had more fun playing on the server without having the obligations and responsibility of an SO to constantly uphold the rules. Especially now that people seem to think that's cute to find loopholes in the MOTD and then complain and bicker with the admins when they're called out for it. Or maybe it was always that way and I just never noticed it because I wasn't an admin at the time. Being an admin just isn't as fun as I thought it would be.
 
Now don't get the wrong idea. I'm not leaving the forums, I still plan on updating Dojo sooner rather than later and maybe even port more maps from CSS the community wants back in CSGO. Porting doesn't really take that much time for me anymore now that I've learned how to use hammer properly over the past 4 months. But my playtime in JB probably nearly be as much as it was before, especially now that college is starting back up for me next week. My schedule makes it so that I have far less time on the weekdays to play JB. Especially on Wednesdays.
 
It was definitely a worthwhile experience and I'm thankful that staff gave me the opportunity to become an SO. But I'm sure there's someone else out there who could do a better job than I did at being SO.

Post pics of the chick and we'll see if you're a winner or not.

Holy shit you're alive.

If people argue and wanna be dicks about who get warden I have no problem muting them and just picking someone to be warden.
Usually if they don't wanna stop talking over warden they'll be muted for a short period of time. If they wanna keep disrupting the round by talking over the warden then I'll mute them the whole round.

Recently, I've been thinking more and more to myself of how routine my days have become this summer. I go on my computer, play games, eat, browse the forums, play more games or watch a movie then sleep.  I kept making excuses on how there was nothing else to do but in the end its all bullshit.  I can't help myself, movies and games have become a drug to me and I am addicted.  I love this community more than anything, but I need to stop playing video games for a while. I'll stay on the forums / get on teamspeak / and even keep mapping a bit every now and again from here on out. I need to do this for myself.  I'll try and keep in touch with mimic to update the server with the newest maps etc. but we will see.  I hope ZE changed for the better during my time and I leave my SO with only one hope. Please keep Zombie Escape alive so we never have to "Populate ZE Go" ever again heh.
Thanks all, its been fun.

Happy birthday

I'll refer you. Usually just ask L2, SO's, or staff over steam.
 
So yeah, i'll refer you. Goodluck.

Reason I asked for a extension is because Counter knows the rules. 
 
Every gS player was trolling.

Fuck you Ethan. You just jelly you aren't red. xD

After all the contructive conversation in here, I have changed my mind. Every player on sG should be given SO and Kgame given Staff.

they get admin mostly due to the fact that they know the rules, are great paidmins, and have the time to be an SO as oppose to others who play like 5 hours a week.  
 
Where the fuck did you even come from.

Every other new clan member gets it. Might as well make it the new clan member rank. 99% of new member SO's/Staff suck. There are like 5 paidmin 13 year old SO's.

Haha xD le nice joke!

Fuck you Ethan. You just jelly you aren't red. xD

I wasnt there when splewis came back

Firstly, we would like to thank Puff, Avery, MasterChief, Wind, Zed, Skotti and X-men for the time and dedication they gave to the community. They were valuable assets to the SO team, but sadly, they have moved on. Again, we thank them for all of their hard work.

After a month of closely watching all the members that applied for SO, we have finally selected new SOs for specified servers we needed them for. As for the ones that never received any reply to their application, we're sorry that you have not been selected to be an SO, as we received a high volume of applications and can only have a limited number of SOs and making the choices was a tough call.


With that being said, everyone please congratulate our newest SOs!

Lastly, the staff would like to encourage all players to PM >Sketch and/or >iAlwaysFail when you think an SO is not performing up to par with the standards an SO should be. All input shall be taken serious, as the normal player is what keeps our servers alive.

Reason I asked for a extension is because Counter knows the rules. 
 
Every gS player was trolling.

Can we ban gS

So nobody rages at staff or chosenone for doing it, Im quitting. It has nothing to do with me not getting merit and everything to do with the staffs ability to place money over loyalty.
 
It was a good long run.

VIP
 
The announcement you've all been waiting for; the inaugural class of VIPs. Of course, much debate was had on who would receive the coveted position in the clan. In the end, ALL 21 staff members had a democratic vote on which members to elect to VIP. The voting took place over the course of a 24 hour period. The selected VIPs had to achieve a vote of 7 or higher to be inducted into the fraternity. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the August 1, 2013 class of VIPs.

Ranks and Recruitment Reform

The long awaited revisions of R&R are complete and are VERY player AND forum user friendly. The C12K and DP would like to thank the members of the R&R Reform Committee for assisting in this monumental endeavor. The real charm is the hot new ranking system. sGr staff voting occurs on the 15th (staff only; 2 weeks to vote) and member voting occurs on the 1st (1 month to vote). Staff voting doesn't occur for L2 and L3 members (time/post/server based promotions). Staff voting occurs for sGr and VIP ranks only. Legendary requires JCS votes only. This new system goes into effect LATE August 1, 2013. Learn it now! Ask questions! 

Demotions:
 
You can't have promotions without demotions. Medium, old, and elder players aren't safe. sG has VETs who haven't logged into the forums in over 2 years! You don't have to post, but you have to at least view the forums. We will be screening the ranks for demotions for inactivity. Real life happens, we get it. To HELP avoid demotions, make an AFK thread in the members section and include the following:
·         Why you're going AFK
·         How long you plan on going AFK
The AFK thread doesn't guarantee you won't get demoted, but it will provide special consideration for extended periods of inactivity. People who come back after being demoted, will have to show 30 days of activity to get their rank back; PLUS another 30 to keep it. Be active or be gone.

Voting:

The staff wanted the VIP rank, VETs, LEG, and the SOs to have a greater influence on who joins the community. This is why the staff will decrease their point value in voting and give increased voting power to the VIPs, SOs, LEG, and VETs. From now on, staff votes will be +3, the VIPs, SOs, LEG, and Vets +2, everyone else +1.

Yes [Community] + 1
Yes [sO/VIP/VET/LEG] + 2
Yes [staff] + 3
Abstain:
No [Community] - 1
No [sO/VIP/VET/LEG] - 2
No [staff] - 3

R&R Reform Highlights:
 
·         No more post waivers.
·         Tenure ranks vs appointed ranks.
·         Donor perks.
·         Demotions.
 
Definitions:
 
·         Specialization: No more waivers. A member can claim servers or the forums as their primary medium. Whatever the member's deficit in their secondary medium; they can perform extra credit in their primary medium for promotion. Formula: % short in secondary medium = % over in primary medium.
 
Example: A new player has 30 hours on the servers and 100 posts. He wants reach the Member rank. His has 30/50 hours. Thus, he is short 20 hours (20/50 = 40%). Meaning he needs 40% ABOVE 50 posts for the extra credit. In short, he needs 70 posts to qualify for Member.

Holy crap it's feenecks

I realized today just how fast time can fly.
 
A little over five years ago I started playing on Undead Vengeance's Zombie Mod server. So many great times have been had with so many people. I am very pleased that a few of those people are still around, even if we don't talk very much any more.
 
In 2010 I was given the opportunity to help run this community and I dearly hope that during these past three years I have served well and to the best of my ability. Decisions I've made that have affected either one or many people have always been in the best interest of the community as a whole.
 
I want to thank all of the members and regulars of this community, past and present, for everything you have given me over the years.
 
Good times,
 
Good laughs,
 
Good friendship.
 
I hope there are another five years in this amazing community and that we keep the good times coming.

I liked the half-life story. I also love the ps3 game the last of us. 
 
That game was brilliant and just amazing in gameplay.
