Happy New Year; May you make it to the safe room when all hope is lost, with 2 Tanks and 8 screaming Special Infected personnel on your *** HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! EDIT:And yes, thank-you Jackie, you have made this server the best in the L4D2 world :stretch:

Get an idea of what I have going? If yes, keep that idea in your head and see if it matches with my idea. If no...well...don't keep any ideas in your head and just read on. Okay. Here is an example: The infected team gets off a good attack and kills like 3 survivors in a short amount of time, but the team doesn't get anything out of it. But...what if they did? Huh? Get the idea now? My idea is "As a team, do x in y and get a team-based achievement". If something like this is accomplished, the entire team gets the achievement as well as points so not only can you get achievements on an individual basis, but also apart of a team as a whole. I figured, this would encourage a bigger emphasis on teamwork, and the team gets rewarded as such. 10 people working as one is the best way to take out the other team, or to steamroll through the map. Now, given my slightly better understanding at coding for sourcepawn, I feel fairly confident that I can pull this off without too much trouble. Heck, I wrote the Tank queue system and the Tank limits (something I struggled on in the past) myself and both work great and I haven't seen any bugs with it yet, so this shouldn't pose any problems. What do you guys think? I like it, it sounds like a good idea

This is my 2nd time on The Sacrifice, the map appears to be bugged - others have said it's restarted multiple times as well. EDIT: I think an admin just changed it to Dark Carnival. Either way, its off of Sacrifice, so yeah....lol

I approve this message. I approve this message

Awww man, I always enjoyed raining mp5's down on the survivors

You don't see anything wrong with that if you aren't aware of the entire situation? Meaning, if you don't know the entire situation when it's out there in front of you, and you're too lazy to read what happened, do not bother posting and insulting me and others who defended me. Just don't be intentionally ignorant if you want to post, when it's all too easy to educate yourself on the topic. All I'm saying is, read before you post - it's kind of rude not to when you say something like ^, especially about the other people who defended me. If you say it about me, that's fine - but don't bring them into this - but if you do, at least read what happened in its entirety

If you were not paying attention you did not see what happened, but read Jackie's post. Before you judge me or anyone that defended me please at least read the *entire* thread. The fact that you didn't know what Chick was doing at the time shows that you didn't even take the time to read above, and, well, if you didn't read above, and just read Jackie's post, please don't insult me or anyone that stood up for me. I have good standing with many admins and members* for a reason, and that's why they stood up for me. Please read before you post. Thanks. EDIT:*and regulars

For the reasons you gave, you know what, it's fine that you kicked me - Chick's a paying member and I'm not. That's 100% fine with me, but I did not know that that was the reason I was just kicked - the same situation has happened in the past, and I've never seen someone kicked for a member. It just made me angry, the way you did it - just a kick for "member reservation" then I have to figure out what happened by other friends in game. I never had a problem with Tirtul, his comment just came in at a bad time. It did get out of hand, but I was mainly just trying to find out WHY I was kicked more than anything. I also wasn't trying to spam, just a lot happens in chat in the server, and I wanted to get my message across so someone could tell me why or something, I'm not really the spamming kind of guy......lol.....It just seemed like the ban was overdoing it - I didn't think I had done anything "ban worthy" I think most of it happened when I was banned - I was talking (again, maybe I got too hostile or whatever) with Chick to figure out why I was kicked in the first place, and BAM! Banned, and of course it didn't have a time limit, and since I like this server a lot, I really got angry, because I didn't even know why - it seemed to me like a dodge "I'm wrong and I don't want to admit it" type of thing, and when everyone else heard, well, all hell broke loose, I'm assuming. It's just neither the kick nor the ban had much of any explanation to them, and that would've really helped. As I already told Chick, if she (or anyone else) had simply ASKED for the slot, I probably would've given it up. It's just the way in which it was handled seemed a lot like "Oh, just kick him so I can play, who cares" and then Tirtul's comment on top of it..... All in all, it just got blown way out of proportion and will probably blow over by tomorrow, but it just made me angry in the way I was kicked/banned with no real reason (or time limit). What? Are you saying that I edited the reason on the SourceBans site? If so, the reason you were banned was "Player got kicked to make room for a paying member. Player keeps complaining about how his spot was taken and spamming it on the server." That's what I put from the ban page and I didn't edit any reason, so I don't know where you got that from. I consider every issue regarding a ban a serious one and I don't try to hide anything. Everything is out in the open for discussion and that's how GC operates. I know, and I've been here long enough to know, that, c'mon Jackie! I probably saw that from the quotes at the bottom, but it was a few minutes after I was banned, and I could've sworn I saw it there, but if you say it wasn't I'll believe you over me any day of the week haha.....I must've been seeing red lol...

So most of you were there, but to recap: I had been trying to join the server for about five to ten minutes, and finally got in on the Infected side. About two minutes later, I was kicked because of "member reservation" with an open spectator slot for members to join. Naturally, as I had never seen this before, I tried to see who had kicked me and why. I had multiple friends in game, as well as my two brothers, who were all playing - the Survivor round just started, not a lot of time for talking, you know, lol. So I heard Tirtul{sorry again} say during one of my brief visits: (something like)"Just forget about the whole matt thing, its over" into chat, which angered me greatly - I'm so low you just kick me and forget about me? Really? So then I heard from someone in game that Chick had stolen my spot from spectator by having me kicked, and got all mad about it (Chick, having already been mad at me for multiple things in the past (see my status updates for one)). Anyway, I digress, and when I finally got in (as a dead survivor;I think Kira joined spectator so I could join - if so, thanks), I asked her why she kicked me, and isn't that what the spectator slots are for? At this point, yes I was tinkled off, but I don't think I was being hostile - perhaps I was wrong, but again, I digress. She told me over voice chat that she had been waiting forever and that "I pay and you don't so too bad", and before I could argue my case, I was banned by Jackie for an hour- Reason: "You must have something better to do with your time", and as I look now, I see he's deleted the reason, well done, that was quick. Now I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that if this happened to anyone else, they'd be as tinkled off as I am. I'm pretty sure I'm at least considered a regular, I played on and off on different computers from June through July, and I got my own in August, and have reached rank 57 since - you look up the hours I've played. I've always followed the rules to the letter (meh, one or maybe two times not too strictly), I always am in the back helping the new people out, and I NEVER leave a teammate behind. I've always liked this server more than any of the others, and was contemplating joining at the end of the month - but if this is what I can expect for me to become, screw it, I'd rather not be a member. Anyways, so why was Chick deemed better than me - I had to join and rejoin and rejoin for ten minutes while she could sit there and join from spectator - a lot easier. Why should I be punished and kicked for her not paying attention? And why was I just banned again with no explanation? No nothing, just banned - later found out for an hour - for "You must have something better to do with your time"? Really?

Don't worry Token, I haven't been deemed cool enough either. I mean come on, I'm Matt freakin' Kemp! :peace:

Haha, didnt see the date, rofl

Yay! So what you're saying is, right after we drop T3d (the dead weight), we rise to number one? Nice! :stretch: :wiggle2:

I'll play, if its not too late to take over a dummy team (preferably in first place) haha

I was in the server, I know what happened. Paraoxysm(I think, but a regular) likes to sometimes walk about 15 feet out of the saferoom and wait for the team, so the infected players can't prepare a coordinated attack. Ted vote kicked Para earlier last week (I was present then as well, and voted no) so he had apparently 'had enough'. So basically, Ted tried to kick Para, had the vote vetoed by Cake(for good reason) and, well, it escalated pretty fast. In like a minute they were arguing like little children while there was just four of us in the back(me, ted, para, and an afk-turned louis that I had waited for - they both came back for me), arguing the entire time, cussing and all. Para was cussing at Ted, Ted was cussing at Cake and Para. I was trying to calm them and trying to get Cake to switch one of them teams, but when Ted said what he said, and then said he was going to leave anyways, he made it a pretty easy for Cake. I 98% support Cake, she did the right thing. The only thing I would've done kicked both of them, sooner. lol But yeah, legit kick from Cake. And Ted, you both were acting like children, spamming curses and such into your mics. It's really a wonder we heard anything at all.

Welcome, I have noticed you're a worthy adversary in our short time together. Teamstacking will be an issue. FOREVER. lol but other than that, *welcome*!! :stretch:

^ What Cake said :lol2: . I also heard Dead Island was a bust, so....

I wish I was playing then haha
