  1. Happy Birthday nerd!

  2. if only I wasn't at an awkward stage where I will have close to no spending money for the next month or so. rip me
  3. God you completely missed my point. There are over 700 gmod TTT servers, 3/4 of which are sitting at 0 population, and the others have an average of around ten(note I didn't actually do the math, but that's what it looks like by just glancing at it). Under the assumption that we won't become one of those 0 population servers, there's a fairly good chance we could end up being one of those ~10 population servers. Which is a lot of work to put in for 10 players on a week night. I'm not saying the game is bad. I'm saying our chances don't look great. And your argument that we have a steady population just waitin for us to bring the server back makes no sense to me. Where were these players when the server was up? It's like talking about reopening a store that went out of business a couple years ago. Yeah, it had customers, but then they stopped coming. Now they say they want it back, but can we trust them to stay? Honestly I don't know, but personally I wouldn't reopen it, I would rather invent my time elsewhere Honestly I'm not really against having a TTTgmod server, but I don't really care either way. I'm sure if a higher up wants to see it done, they will do it. Maybe it will work out, maybe it won't.
  4. I can at least answer this The original TTT server died because, after over a year of trying, we could not regain a stable population for a dying game. Many different changes were attempted and none of them were successful, and eventually the server was scrapped. I honestly don't know how us having a gmod TTT server would go. Its around 6:30 rn, and as I look, I see about 3/4 of the current TTT servers are sitting at 0, and less than half of the ones with players have over 20. Now, my internet is shit right now, and I know yesterday when I looked, there were like 750 TTT server, and rn i'm only able to load about 400. But thats still a very high number of empty servers, considering that means that there are only about 20-40 servers that reach the same population as our CSGO TTT server. However, your point about old regulars coming back still stands. Would that be enough to get our server on its feet? Maybe, honestly I couldn't tell you. I guess it is up to the higher ups whether they want to spend the time/resources on this. I could see it going either way, although I'm still of the opinion that going back to GMOD probably isn't the best step for us. Edit: And yes, you will argue that it is not a dying game. But we started having struggles with it around the 2012-2013 era, when it WAS dying (averaging less than 10000 players) and even when the population of the game itself got better, that didn't seem to increase the population on our server.
  5. I had a failure to understand other peoples thought processes, therefore had difficulty forming genuine human connections and nothing has changed
  6. Neither. But when I was in high school I got into MTG if that counts

  8. Not the maker of the rules, but when I think of prop surfing, I think of GMOD. I don't think I even know what prop surfing in CSGO refers to. Also, AFAIK if you can get there normally (I.E. Jumping) there's no issue (unless its an area outside of the map or which gives you an unfair advantage like the old space ship exploit). I wasn't 100% sure at first, but it seems like the ruling is that if you have to boost to get up somewhere, it is against the rules. I have no idea what the prop surfing rule applies to in CSGO so you will have to wait for an AO or someone else who knows what that is referring to. Edit: as Euro said, it may just be an outdated rule.
  9. Hmmmm, I'm not sure if ban times matter all that much TBH. A max of a week for most things seems reasonable for me, and even then I usually only ban for more than 1-2 days if it is their second ban. I can't see a reason to ban someone for longer than that TBH. If someone randomly joined the server to start freekilling, chances are they won't come back after they are banned anyways. If it is a regular, then he would just appeal a 30 day ban to get it reduced, because honestly that's way too long for a first time ban. I could see you asking for the max length to be upped to a week, because honestly I could agree with that. But 30 days is too long IMO.
  10. Yeah, I don't see how they would say anything after they DC either, good point. And I haven't had them say it before they left either. I'm not sure anyone was trying to say that they were. I've never seen someone rdm, leave, then come back. But I have seen people just wait until they want to leave then rdm and dc. Either way, I already said I didn't know if the OT of this thread was practical so yeah, I don't see a reason to get into another discussion about rdming and leaving.
  11. Yeah, it's not common, but I have seen it probably 2-3 times so far. That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure how practical/implementable it is. Honestly I've just resigned myself to thinking "Well, I guess if they do it again or two more times I can do something about it." But then after a few days I usually forget the name of the person who did it anyways, so yeah.
  12. Question of May 3rd.

    If I was in for like over 2 years, hell yes I would break out. I doubt that kind of life is worth living, but I guess that's the whole point really
  13. Question of May 3rd.

    Depends on the prison. We talking shit hole central or tax evasion paradise?
  14. Edit: Ok, I'll just defuse this RN, I'm not looking for a fight or anything. Maybe I've just been hot headed or something lately because this seems to keep happening. I didn't INTEND to make a big deal out of this with this post. I simply made it because I didn't enjoy playing this map 50% of the time I had to play last night, and if it was going to be a regular thing, it would remove some of my enjoyment on the server
