Yay!

Tirtul and I play everyday now, it's great the adventure mode and rifts lots of fun, we have a gc clan too in there.

GC is an open community to anyone, and will never be a place where you have to be a member or have requirements to be able to play on their servers. It never has and never will. We wouldn't have the amount of members we do if we did have a members only server. GC is amazing because it's open to anyone, if the L4D2 community was anything like the CS:Go mentality it would be a lot better.

I will say this: Rushing isn't allowed on the server, you have been here long enough to know that That being said, there are times and places, and I can understand your frustration, but I wasn't there to see what all happened. Your attitude is very uncalled for, weather the ban was just or unjust, coming here and disrespecting anyone be it member, non-member, admin, board member is not acceptable. You have been here before for things you have said, and you know we are fair and talk it all out. Your attitude as a whole if you wish to stay in the GC community needs to change. Admins aren't perfect, we make mistakes, sometimes we think someone's breaking a rule and they aren't, or we didn't see the whole situation. Mistakes by admins does not mean you get to come here and bash them, or insult them. They are trying to play and have fun, they hear everyone, and have to watch chat, and it can be tough, especially when you are a newer admin still getting use to it all. I think the ban should stay, unless a board member says otherwise. Be banned is frustrating, but coming here with that kind of attitude and comments will get you nowhere fast.

San actually has and does play on the l4d2 servers. That being said, I will say this. I started in l4d2 on GC and like maybe 6-7 months ago started playing CS:Go, and I will say the CS:GO GC community is WAY different than the L4D2 community. No one is ever mad about losing (and if they are they don't say it), everyone is helpful, nice, respectful. No one ever makes you feel bad for a mistake, or for being the last one up against one other person and dying. I mean it's so Night and Day it's crazy. And it doesn't matter if you are a member or not, I mean you could be a total noob that bought the game 10 mins ago and joined, and they are like nice try, good game, or just chatting up about random stuff. There isn't this hostility or kinda of elitist (might not be the best word) mentality. NOW that being Said, L4D2 has A LOT more going on in one game then a CS:GO match so in fairness that has some frustrations there. I get wanting to do a member's only server, but we get members because we are open to anyone. I mean we've had a lot of new joins, people who want to learn, want to talk, want to enjoy in the fun. We have members (like me) who have played for years and will never be on the same level as Swat or Chimi, (you know the would be hackers, hehe jk), and just as one really new person can change a game so can guys like this. I think personally I've seen more people join who are talking or communicating and really wanting to learn (idk maybe that's just me being positive). Trying a new thing here bear with me. But I mean a lot of members seem more willing to say "use this" or "type this", and even sending points, instead of the old mentality of "don't send him points it's not worth it". Just my 2 cents.

I was there for the first time you were banned, when Tirtul banned you for swearing. And we had asked you several times "please don't swear". I bring this up, because I don't think you are a bad person, I want to address some things you said in your post about rules and feeling chocked by admins and "i can't voice my opinions". We were very patient with you, giving you a slide for 3 maps, and finally were like "okay that's enough". Anyway, that being said, I want to put it to you like this about voicing your opinions in game. I know we (admins) probably come off as dicks when we are like "those are the rules" "don't like it don't play here" "it's already been argued move on", ect, it's not that we don't want to hear it, or brushing you off, it becomes the focus of the game at that point. I've been on where a guy said "Hey is there an admin" and I'm like "yeah i'm an admin" and for 15 mins he's like "Why can't we swear", and I try to be nice, patient, let people voice their opinions, and address why not, but I'm also trying to help my teammates, and play and enjoy the game, then someone chimes in with their opinion, then someone who really likes the server rules chimes in. So now instead of 1 person and 1 admin having a discussion about rules it's 10 people, and our team is dying, or their team is passing on through with no resistance, so then that leads to them winning the round, and the next map load in people are now upset about losing. And it might be better for us admins to step back and say "Hey if you want to talk about it, send me a pm, or another admin, or on steam, but please lets keep the game about the game", and that's something we should work on. I think some of the things you wrote are a bit harsh, purpose or not. I like that you came here, and voiced your opinion and feelings, I would like to see the screenshots of this game and what was said. I mean if you called the server garbage that isn't very nice. That's like if I walk into subway and i'm like "Oh your store is garbage" (mind you they wouldn't probably kick me out), but I'm sure they'd be offended, and rightfully so. This is a community we love and the people here enjoy each other, we have our quirks and tifts and fights, but at the end of the day we love being here, we love what it represents, maybe not all the time, but for the majority, I know I've got a lot of friends from it, *cough* enemies too *cough*, but that's what makes it great, we just have a lot of variety of people, gamers, and just all around good solid group with a nice foundation of rules. A way to enjoy gaming without trolls, or rule breakers, or punk kids/adults that want to cuss the world, and say foul things like the n word over and over, or spam music for whole rounds. And we can get a little hot under the collar when someone challenges that, or insults it. BUT we are also a forgiving community, you can do everything under the sun (just about), and come in here, and be like "you know what I was a dick or I did do this" and we'll be like "okay just don't do it again", some might chime in with a little bit more of the "Don't do that again" or a bit of a toughness warning, but it's not because we don't want you to come back, or what you to be in fear, it's because "Hey here's a guy who said "yo i was this or that or did this or that" and that's cool of them and we like people who can see their faults lets keep them around". Alright it's midnight I'm tired, that's my rant/input.

I did NOT ban you because you left. Understand that 100%. I banned you because you said "Go ahead an abuse your admin powers" That is disrespectful and uncalled for because I was moving you back after you switched. I had zero clue it was 10v8 when you swapped, and even then I wouldn't have let you switch. We would of either waited for the spec to join, or I would of asked if someone would of switched. I would never ban someone because they leave the server, I never have and never will. I tried adding you to find out why you, this person I know zero about, is making comments about me to other members, while I'm in game, and playing telephone with them to tell me, in-game mind you, "Oh he doesn't want to play with you, he said you are annoying, and abusive admin". So I reached out to one of our mutual friends to find out if you would be willing to have a conversation to explain this issue, before it escalates to something that gets you banned. Which now it has. If you don't want to play on my team, that's fine, you can leave, or you can stay and just not talk to me, what you CAN NOT do is: Switch teams or be disrespectful.

You were banned for disrespecting an admin. A few things you forgot to mention in this story. We loaded into Dead Air first map the teams scrambled, you then switched teams right after, I switched you back, to which you said "I don't want to play on a team with you", and you switched again, I began the process to move you back when you stated over mic "I don't want to play with you its 10v8, Go ahead and abuse your admin powers". Kinda of looks alot different when you put the real story out there. Secondly this is not the first occasion that you have swapped teams, and stated that you disliked playing with me, so I spoke with San on the incident and he said to ban you for a day the next time it happened, this was the next time. I will say this, I don't know you, I have zero clue who you are, or why you even have a hatred or dislike for me. That being said, we all play with people we dislike or may not get along with, or we can choose to leave, but leave in silence, not with inappropriate comments, or being disrespectful, or breaking the server rules which while you say nothing in the rules says you have to play on someone's team you don't enjoy, it does say you Can Not Team Switch.

I didn't realize Twins was sebaka, but it's already been dealt with.

What's your steam id Twins?

You are not the only person. I have over 500 item frames that actually count as entities not 1 but 2. And I LOVE Item frames. But I've had to go in and remove a bunch of mine. I've also had my barn move to another part of my island. You guys aren't the only ones who have to move stuff or space it out. In a perfect world we could have things on top of things. But it just doesn't work like that. Also, I'm grateful that Tirtul is at least trying to make it run as smooth as possible. I've seen your guys base it's big, and I'm sure with time it will only get bigger. There will come a point that you can't just afk and have everything work all the time all at once, or have your animals grow ect. There are a lot of big servers and small that limit the number of things you can have at one time or in one area. San use to breed his cows, and we would lag the server and that was just cows, with no other animals or farms.

Thank you for coming to the forums. I appreciate you apologizing.

This should be in the ban thread

I've had a few members tell me that they have used !votekick when admins aren't on for people rushing. So that's good for people to know, and good to know members are using it for good. That aside, never feel bad about asking admins for help. We don't mind popping over.

LOL! I don't see an issue with it.

I'm not really involved in CS:GO but if you can post your steamid so the admins can find your ban that would help a lot. Thanks!

This guy did an amazing job making Mannequins look like people with disabilities for the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. It's slogan "Because who is perfect? Get Closer". It's so beautiful. http://blog.petflow.com/this-is-so-touching-everyone-should-watch-this-at-least-once/

Grandpa came home(like real home). It's not going well. They will know in two weeks if they have to put him in a home . Hopefully he will be as comfortable as possible.

oh my! Before I opened this I said "please be looney". Yay!!! You go momma
