Guys, we are only 12 posts away from 200 pages of POSTAPIC madness.
Holy tits.

Don't quote me on it but $10 should be all server VIP benefits.
Yeah I believe we're working on a 10$ for VIP and then 50$+ for Senior VIP or whatever.

You have returned children? What store did you return the children too? I should probably call child services.

Not a bad idea, someone should bring that up to Pyro
If I can get set up for Hidden admin and FTP/CP; I'll be glad to help start/stop it at the least.

I think we should do a weekly rotation of Fun nights.
When Chris has his, I'll do mine the week after, and then we can try Hidden, and so forth.

Found this Gem on tagged. Figure this thread would be a nice place to dump it. Note the poetic tagline.

Kwaurtz wasn't trolling, the first post was obnoxious and like Cortez said should of been Kwaurtz's structured opinion to begin with so people wouldn't get whiny.
Yeah and I was just kind of spitballing ideas then but if ANYTHING GA would be between HA/a and HA. Everything Red's been doing though has been via our orders though as far as sourcebans stuff goes, but he's incapable of accessing FTP or anything outside of Sourcebans. It'd be nice if he had FTP and could work on servers with HA's permission but people don't seem to like the rank so I guess we'll just throw it away and demote Red instead?
I would make him a CL, but Inject said we weren't going to need any other CL's anytime soon so I made due how I could, it was either what I've done so far or keep Red as a Vet and have him help me anyway; which would of been fine but I wanted to get him a spot where he could fairly operate SB and train to be CL so that's essentially what we've been doing, and I apologize if the things seem unfair or strange but we're still working on it. Death and Alpha are kind of busy with Thanksgiving stuff still I believe but we'll be back to scheming together soon enough.
Right now GA duties are simply: Watch over other admins, report inactivity, make sure servers are working optimally, and do FTP work if needed. Perhaps we could change the rank to Grand Coder or something neat.
We need to have public meetings like every week too, someone pick a day that looks pretty and deem it meeting day.
Just to say this I am not saying anything against him having the position but I did like the original idea of GA to be an overseer of everyone in the event that the HA didn't catch something. I do think Red is doing a good job and have nothing negative about his powers, although the position of GA in my opinion should be kept as the overseer seat of power. Otherwise as it stands he is technically an HA and a CL with just a few limitations. I would also like to suggest that everyone should be limited to 1 to 2 positions on the forums and on the servers.
I really believe that people should only be allowed to have 2 positions period as to allow people who have worked hard and shown that they are ready can move up in the event that say an HA becomes a CL. Now these are just some ideas of mine so take them with a grain of salt
Well Vet admins are allowed admin on all the servers they can handle, but ideally if someone's active enough to do more than others; they should be allowed to do all they can. Kwaurtz is scared/upset that more people will want to help and have their own place in CG, asking for their own ranks or whatever; but the more people wanting to help the merrier as far as I'm concerned. People who don't want to help and are just going to complain about every change that happens though, we need to find a place for you too. We can call them CG analysts. :p I just want more people to be able to climb the "totem pole(since we're all native americans here today)" and at the time I wasn't sure if HA/a or GA would be the better stepping stone towards becoming an experienced leader in CG. Now that we've got HA/a's and have that more clearly defined and understood, maybe we can just improve upon that and HA and remove the GA rank. I really would rather alter the GA rank/name than remove it completely, so again ideas area welcome.

The only thing I have to say is the GA position. From my understanding it was supposed to be a spot where a certain admin had admin powers across all of the servers. These powers vary by what commands the HA would allow for example Red to have. I did not think that GA had the ability to mess with servers, or sourcebans to the extent that Red is able to. I also don't remember reading that they had any powers on the forums. To me GA was supposed to be a step above Reg Admin but just below Vet Admin. GA would have a limited amount of commands at their disposal when on another server other than their original one, also with no forum powers. HA/a from the sounds of it doesn't have half of the access that GA does even though GA is supposed to be below it in the ranking totem pole. Nothing against you Red this is just what I remember reading somewhere.
Yeah and I was just kind of spitballing ideas then but if ANYTHING GA would be between HA/a and HA. Everything Red's been doing though has been via our orders though as far as sourcebans stuff goes, but he's incapable of accessing FTP or anything outside of Sourcebans.

Because it has the potential of causing a shit storm the same way Wholegrain did when he made me a CL.
That's actually a good point. What do you propose our solution be, if we had to have one now, rather then wait?
At this point in time we need the communities opinion on this sitaution since it has evolved into what it currently is. Have the CL's make a thread so that everyone's voice can be heard, and from there we move on. There are three realistic things that can happen that come to mind. The biggest problem is that in CG everyone is afraid to be public with their opinion unless its the consensus already, thats why a lot of it comes down to being steam chats. CG has put this negative image that disagreeing is fighting and that it isn't allowed on the forums. Individuals are going to form their own opinion, and I've never been one to hold my tongue, all I ask is that hopefully others will let go of theirs too regardless of rank.
Well said, you should say this from the beginning instead of posting shit which just makes people discredit you.
So much this, everyone is allowed to say anything they want but not if you have to do it obnoxiously and disrespectfully. I've been spending the majority of my free time working on CG lately, and I'm just trying to help; so if you don't like something I've done don't throw a temper tantrum because I'm already stressed half the time now and it doesn't help to come home to a post like this one.. Formal complaints are cool, trollswaglolol is not.

There was a nice week or two where we discussed possible new ranks, and nobody really offered this kind of opinion at that time; so it was just one of the new things we're trying and I'm sorry you and these others don't like it. We'll continue to try new things and if they don't work and people don't like them, we can change things back. Nothing is forever but people wanted new CL's, people wanted things to get done, and people wanted change.
We're trying our best to do what we can, and if it's too much or not enough; we're glad to hear everyone's opinion on it and alternative solutions. I agree that HA/a is the most obviously necessary while CO and GA feel too extra, but Red has been infinitely helpful and available these past few days. We introduce HA/a to train future HA's so the current HA's can actually progress to CL and perhaps we can change Red's title to something different that makes more sense, like Admin Tech or Comms Officer; and he can still manage Sourcebans and offer help to HA's and their respective servers but not as the "overpowered" admin he is now.
I mean, what a Global Admin, or a Comms Officer even does has not yet been completely set in stone. We're kind of developing it as we go, so things are completely open to change and everyone's opinion.

Map Suggestion its zps_barrelhunt_2 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytx34q83c9awxk6/CJZVk4g3xf/zps/zps_barrelhunt_2i.zip sorry that i posted in the wrong section from last time.
Sorry don't know if I'm allowed to comment here or not but when back when I played after one of the big updates the map had some problem with it. Can't remember exactly what the bug was, but I'm pretty sure it was game breaking. So I just wanted to give you a heads up When adding it.
Yeah we had Barrelhunt on the server a year or two ago and while it was fun, it didn't always work and sometimes zombies didn't turn into a barrel but it worked for the most part, it just wasn't good for population. Jailbirds always been a bit iffy to me but people seem to like it so I'll throw that on there.

I have to agree, that you need to play more. 7.5 hours a week for a month is what is required is it not?
I remember you adminign hidden and you did OK. But being a hidden admin is a lot easier then a TTT admin. The rules in TTT are extensive and strict. I feel you need to play more and watch admins admin before you have a better feel about whats going on.
I just wanted to leave my thoughts my final answer will be -1 until I see you more active. I don't care if this was approved by Pillz.
Approved =/= Reccomended. I told him he could put me down for it, as I was curious to see the feedback he'd get if he applied for admin. :p He was asking about higher ranking jobs and I told him he should start here first and work his way up.

Also Smiley says he's using Lulu's old Steam account, and I'm pretty sure I've seen Lulu playing on the server recently under her/his own account. The Lulu bans IP doesn't show up, while the other bans have different IP's.. Though this is unsettling, he's still been incredibly helpful and kept the server alive and populated; so he's a good guy despite being a gaming criminal. :p
He admits to hacking in the past and understands why that makes him unable to become admin at the time, but will still continue playing and helping out. I'll just have to find another to help me with the banning and other fun stuff.

Being active doesn't make him automatically able to apply for admin, he needs to prove that he is able to get admin.
He'll be able to get admin as soon as I give it to him? Don't you think I wouldn't of told him to apply if I didn't think he was able to be an admin in the first place? That's why it's always baffled me that people are so finnicky about who should be admin when they don't know them, in the end the Head Admin should know the player, and know if their server needs that players help, and if they don't; they will deny the app. The only reason the apps are public on the forums are originally so other admins that know the player can offer insight, like if they have bans on record or that they act one way when the HA is on and another way when they're off, etc. That's the majority of a HA's job is finding reliable people to be admin, and making sure they don't slack off or break the rules.
