    Alright so, anyone that knows me knows I am super chill. Let's fill people in.
    You took two booths for recruitment for some reason. You were arguing with staff about being told no. You couldn't do that.
    I came and said "as founder, it's a no." Because you wouldn't drop it.

    You CONTINUED to bitch, I told you to stop whining and being faggots about it.
    If you wanna argue about and cry because I hurt your feelings, cool. 
    If you wanna (and I feel this one is more true) blow this up because I told you no and you didn't like it.
    Go ahead and whine about being called a faggot, you buddle of sticks.

    Grow up and don't argue with a staff who already told you it was final say.


    Edit: Uh oh. It got voided.
    😒

    Why talk to us directly, when you can just explode :D. Sounds good.
    If you don't have the respect to speak to me directly, instead of an indirect call-out, I don't have the respect to even entertain this post.
    I'll take my childish insecure, permabanning idiot self out of this post from here.

    But thanks for your concern.

    It's always a sad day when a long time homie, and cool dude's gotta leave. But life always comes first, and perhaps when you are in a better place, you can come back. You're always welcome. There was clearly alot put into this post. I appreciate you sharing all the media, it was really cool seeing all the different memories that you have gathered over your time here. Someone else's perspective is always interesting. The ear rape meme video with zero context was a personal favorite.

    Anyways, best of luck to you. I hope you can stick around the community to play games and keep friends inside and out of Gmod. If you ever need someone to talk to you in relation to the personal stuff, feel free to reach out to me. My PMs are open.

    Also, to give back a little bit, since you have given plenty to us, I gave you VIP on TTT, on me.
    Since it's my domain and I can do what I want with it.
    If you ever wanna play Gmod in a more laid back setting, you're always welcome there my dude.

    however the founders that are at the top are in-sufferable (besides jackson i never met him so i cant talk about him) however the founders are not only lazy. but one of them has acted like a man-child in the past and i cant deal with it anymore. I also shit talk Zim, the dude who I cannot form a real opinion about and underappreciate for the ridiculous amount of hours of development he puts in ontop of working his full time job. I really hate him and how he reaches out to players and tries to satisfy everyone. How dare he fucking care about me, or anyone in this community, for I am truly the in-sufferable one.

    Can’t you just remove his Jedi skill level and wipe it back to 0 or is that not possible at all?

    Obviously you’ve done fucked up by abusing your staff powers which is why I’ll give you a big ol’ what the fuck? Keep your BL on staff and just take a 6 month hiatus, it’s reasonable and that way it’s not permanent.

    I believe that the TeamSpeak is a hub for all things synergy and that anyone as long as they aren’t continually harassing the player base they should be allowed to communicate with friends they’ve made on the server.

    And Scribbles if your ban does go through and your permanently gone just know, you were given that second chance after you posted the porn in the server adverts. It was just borrowed time at that point.

    Be safe y’all and be nice to each other.

    Good luck Scribbles.

    I like Scribbles, so +1 to TS.
    But fuck, you're dumb to exploit again after already being banned for it (Twice? Previously). People would obviously notice if your level was un natural. Also, for Bbstine, yes we can reset anyones stuff, or wipe them. But the problem is the reocurring theme of this situation, anyone else would get reset and sent to the staff team to deal with.

    -1 to the appeal. Sorry my dude, I apprciate the help with the update but you fucked it right up. 
    Edit: Also kinda upset you were doing this to "test out first prestige" knowing you could of just asked me like you have everything else. That reason is bullshit and you know it.

    See I dont fully agree with the Original posters post, I dont think meditation should be nerfed. However I have been testing to attempt to figure out what meditation gives you. Now that you've posted it, I do believe the XP for dueling should at-least be buffed. If its 8 XP/S for meditation, that means you have to win a spar in under 56 seconds or meditation would give more. Typical spars will last 1:30 to 3 Minutes. During this time you could gain so much more xp, for example if it is the 8XP/S( I was testing and thought it was 5XP/S) that means in these two time ranges you will gain somewhere between 720 XP - 1440 XP.

    Now the reasoning I believe you should get more XP Sparring then you do meditating is that it encourages Activity in the server. You could use the argument "If someone wants a high level then there going to have to grind mediation". Well Most people are going to want that high level. I dont want a Fully AFK server, I would much rather have people sparring when ever they are on, instead of still using their PC however just having GMOD in the background as they cant play cause they need that mediation XP.

    Like the other day I heard a padawan reluctant to spar as they wanted to remain one of the highest levels to spar. In order to be one of the best on the server, you have to sit in a room and refuse to actually do things that would mean you earned that level, IE PVE or PVP



    PS: I dont know the value for how much NPCS give you but to all you reading this post, NPCS are best way to level so hopefully SA+'s will host more NPC sims. The reasoning for NPC's being the best is that they give like 1/3rd a Player Kill and are much faster to kill then Players. Can easily Kill 5-6 NPCS by the time you kill a player. Thus making PVE Much faster than meditation and PVP. Sooooooooo Get them SA+'s hosting NPC sims.

    Oh hi duck.

    I have looked into the meditation XP with Wynter / Windu already. Currently, you're right, based on average time of dual, the XP was low. I have since fixed this, [will be placed in next patch] so here is the basic rundown. Meditation will remain at 8 XP per 3 secounds, this is 1,440 XP per 3 minutes. 3 minutes is the average duel length time. The original request was to up dualing XP (player kill XP) to 1500, but I rather we encourage being active and playing to meditation, so I will be uping this to 1,750 XP per kill. Moving to NPC's, they don't provide almost any XP. We talked about this in original development, and I don't see a modification to this needed at this time. 

    The reason for this is I don't want to allow clones to farm easy XP off of NPCs as I cannot disable XP gain on certain jobs. Council was okay and agreed. It's much easier to catch people level exploiting  with the two main options (meditation & dueling) then NPCs.  If requested this is upped, I can do so, but it will never be a huge sorce to prevent XP farm or abuse.

    Hope this helps!

    1) Reduce the amount of exp you gain from meditation, but increase the amount of exp you gain from killing enemies or duels. This would put less emphasis on going afk to grind for exp and more on being an active part of the server.

    We already did this. You get 450 experience for dualing and killing another player. You get 8 to sit there and meditate.

    Quote

    2) Make it so that if someone is afk on their Jedi for more than 1 hour that, without any questions ask, are kicked from the server by anyone Admin +. This would reduce the player count on the server which can allow people that want to play on the server get onto it, and would reduce the amount of AFK jedi.3

    Why would we ever do this? This is a great way to boost your character and support the servers growth even when you need to step away. It's a win on both sides, for both players. 

    As much as I understand you point, the people that are AFK would likely be afk regardless of the update. The difference being they would likely be offline the server which benefits no one.

  9. So basically, I will let the others answer as they wish. 
    But like, they can be abusable and when attached to the right setups can cause ridiculous lag. 

    For trust issues, and to avoid people's ability to make mistakes. They were simply removed. Solve a problem before it happens.

    Didn’t mean it as a insult, I just meant it like isn’t it his choice (Don’t wanna day job since idk if he bein paid) to code stuff and not have to worry about staff stuff?

    Paid.. haha.. man. I haven’t been paid in over a year for work here. (Not complaining.) I’ve also on countless occasions refused payment, as I did this because I wanted to give people a place to get away too. Never been about the money. 
     

    Sorry to trail off. I personally loved @Dubz response a ton. I’ve been distant with this community as a full time job takes up most my time. My view can be limited, but I really enjoyed what Dubz mentioned about the outlook. I try to do what’s best for the community, clearly A-A-Ron needed a ban, but it seems that everyone, including myself can agree it should not be permanent. For this reason. +1 

    I recommend this changed to a few weeks or a month. Also, thank you Dubz, I normally hard stand by my opinions, as I think them out quite a lot before stating them, but you made a well structured well written point. I have a ton of respect for that. 
     

    ps. Ty @Ron for standing up for me. Ily bb and merry Christmas gamers
