I do be liking that collat at 1:20 tho. But...

Well everybody's making montages now so I decided to hop on the train to dump some old clips from my computer in here so I can keep them in a video online and stop taking up space on my PC. Put together out of boredom in like 20 minutes. Level 2 out of 100 Editing. Frags+haha moments because why not Song: thankful- bbno$

Actually it was Eversman. GTA was still aids though. Couldn't have said it better myself.

You have no idea how many times something like this was suggested over the years. It has been something that the community has wanted for quite some time. I personally agree with this suggestion, but the problem that has stonewalled it every time is it's implementation and getting it to work. I like the idea, but maybe tying this in with the donation portal itself isnt the way to go about this, cause that's what it sounds like (If it isnt then forgive my autism). It sounds like you are trying to suggest that the player should be able to set the status of the donation in the donation portal, which will never happen since the only person that should ever have access to that is the server owner (pr at least that's how one seen it on every other server that uses Prometheus). Rather than doing that, maybe it would be better to use an inventory menu that can be accessed on the server through NPCs/Weapon Locker stations or a different server command. This would keep things server side and would keep it able to be accessed by the user. Now I'm just throwing an idea out here, but maybe we could also go for a different approach about weapons, so hear me out. On various TTT servers with inventories, you can select a primary and a secondary weapon through said inventory and equip them as you wish. Thos would go for a more minimalist loadout for players and allow people to be specific roles in combat (yes I know normal jobs do that already), but allow for small customization and well. The only issue of the matter that I can see is linking this system with the donation portal. It wouldnt need to turn anything on or off in the portal itself, but just need to detect that you have that weapon so you can use it in an inventory menu. And again, the biggest hurdle to get over in this suggestion is it's actual creation of the system.

Either one works. Jus not advert. The return of factory got me hyped as fuck. I'm pretty sure that just about everyone liked this map back in the day as well, so hopefully community feedback 2 years later will prove to be the same.

Facts While a quiz that anyone can take by typing a simple command in the chat is convenient for everyone for the sake of time, it doesnt flesh out everything that a normal DI/DS would do. It's also good to note that there isnt a lack of recruiters, but a lack of recruiters who want to step up and do the recruiting. People wonder why base factions are dead when they do no recruiting whatsoever. Officers specifically need to be on top of this. Also, this isnt that prevalent from what I've seen, but it's worth mentioning. A quiz system is in place so someone can go through training without supervision. They pass. They get whitelisted. They get a rifle. Within 5 minutes you got another MassRDM. (Again, I dont see it often, but the opportunity for that is increased with such a thing in place).

That is the problem. Evidence shouldn't have to be hidden. All evidence should be shown so the players know that staff are actually upholding their own standards. Failure to provide evidence can set a dangerous precedent. If no evidence is shown, there is a large trust gap between the staff and the community, since this means that staff could ban anyone with an excuse of cheating without providing any valid evidence to back up these claims. My goal is not to attack your character, however your character is shown through your actions as a manager. The goal was to ensure that a persons actions are not left unchecked, and that the standards we set for ourselves are being upheld for everyone. I am refusing to reply on this further, since Gildarts will be talking to Garnet about this personally.

I've been spectated multiple times. I've had multiple staff at the lower ranks come to me and tell my that I am being targeted by staff to get me banned for cheating. So yeah, I have my own thoughts on how the staff operates and how I feel in the eyes of staff. This post was not made because I think Kendal is out to get me though. This post was made to shine light on actions that he has had a hand in, which I am actually not involved in at all really. This report wasn't made to defend myself in any means. The goal of this post was to focus on upholding standards for the entire server to understand and follow.

SO3 was your probationary rank. You got rid of it being probationary, then promoted kendal. Then you re-instated probationary period at a different rank. Thanks for admitting to it lmao. Why wouldn't you just like, idk, wait until the next day?

Okay, so that means that your evidence will incriminate someone else or you. What circumstance besides you or someone else scripting to catch a scripter prevent you from posting it? Again, not related to this server. So what's the point?

Okay, So he went up 2 ranks in a single day? My comments about knowing there's no enlisted rules but saying there was mass promo was directed at the fact that he went up an enlisted Rank in one Day and one Officer Rank. Also as an addition to cement bias, you removed the probationary period for him, then once he got all the way up you re-instated it. Why even remove it in the first place? I actually don't know what you're talking about.

except if they did then there would be logs of him being at SOCM, which he wasnt. Then in the same day he got to SOCS he goes to ENS. That's mass promotion. What track record? If he's a known cheater then there's gotta be evidence for it. You can post evidence. That's what you can do. If you know the dude is guilty 100%, then that means you have seen or have evidence yourself. So let's see it. That is not relevant to this situation at all. None of this has to do with me. I don't know what you are trying to gain from this.

Who are you reporting? [Staff/Player]: Kendal/Milton, Alexander ConwayYour in-game name: 75R RRC COL ArthurYour SteamID (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:95273474In-game name of reportee: NSCW ST8 ENS Arctic, DEVGRU CAPT PacificSteamID of reportee (https://steamid.io/): STEAM_0:0:50072294, STEAM_0:0:138807332Date & Time of incident: The past week for the 1st incedent; the past 2 months-ish for the 2ndTimezone:ESTWhat happened? (include any proof): Bear with me, because this report will take some time to flesh out. Over the course of the past few months, Kendal has shown that he is not ready for the role of Manager. Not only that, he has also shown that he is okay with bending rules/norms if it positively benefits him. You will see these in the points I make in the post. First to deal with is the Mass Promotion of himself in SEALS. Now before I go on, I am aware that there aren't any actual rules listed in the MOTD on enlisted promotions. However, there was still mass promo nonetheless. Below, screenshots will be posted to show this. When Kendal got into the faction, he went up to ENS over the course of 4 days. Four fucking days. Let's also mention that when you get in the faction, it is listed that SO3 (the rank they start at) is supposed to be a probationary period of 3 days. The probationary period was skipped completely, then promoted every day all the way to SOCS in 4 days. In the same day that he got SOCS, he was promoted up to ENS, skipping SOCM (This is also applicable to Draco/Superior/Southern). Even if cooldowns were only one day per enlisted rank, one rank was skipped and the one day cooldown was not even met. This is Mass Promotion nonetheless. This is just loopholing to get people up to an officer rank. To make this even more interesting, Kendal then goes and makes a post about the good and bad qualities of being an officer, listing mass promotion as one of the negatives. The fact that he publicly states that mass promotion is bad and should not be a thing, and lets it happens to himself, shows bias. None of the other SEALs in the faction followed this promotion scheme and were not promoted with them, which just cements the fact that Conway and Kendal were biased in this situation. Again, the fact that 2 members of staff (One who has been a part of the community for years, and one who is a Manager who should know better) are okay with this as long as it benefits them and nobody else, is bias to a retarded degree. This is dangerous if left unchecked since they want to keep mass promotion as a negative precedent, but it is okay for them to get away with it. The Following is Directed at Kendal Only Now the next part is going to be a very touchy subject. The banning of Alex Pip. A lot of what I say here will be stuff that does not confirm his innocence completely, but will show the reasoning of why I pursued this situation and kept my interest in it (which will show Kendal's lack of care for the situation to get it resolved, and to show that Kendal had no evidence to begin with if you use common sense). Alex Pip was banned for cheating, then he made an appeal which was quickly denied. No evidence was provided, with reason being that they cannot show their new "method" so hackers cannot get around it. After the ban, and after the appeal was denied, Alex Pip still talked to me saying that he was not cheating and that he wants to dive into this further. So I did. There were many attempts to try to talk to Kendal to try to get the situation resolved, but Kendal either ignored or denied any chance to do so. It is also important to mention the other staff's role in this, as far as what both the rest of the executives and what Kendal has told me. When Alex Pip was banned, the only one to see the evidence for the ban was Kendal. Kendal was the one who collected the evidence and the one who banned. Kendal did not confer with the rest of the staff when banning him. While Kendal doesn't exactly need to do that, it does bring up questions about the ban itself. Kendal has also stated that all the executive staff have the access to use this new "method" to ban cheaters, but he was the only one using it. After talking with @AwesomeAidan however, he told me he is still unaware of the method that is used to catch the "cheaters". This brings up even more questions about Kendal's motive. Alex got to talk with Garnet later down the line, and needed Kendal to send Garnet the evidence. When Alex asked Kendal to send Garnet the evidence, Kendal said he was waiting for Garnet to ask him, taking a procrastinate route for the situation. The fact that Kendal hesitated at all instead of being proactive brings even more questions about the validity of the ban verdict. Garnet got involved and asked Kendal to present the evidence himself. Kendal has stalled for days, and has been active on the server and on the forums, so there is no argument that he is unaware of the situation. Kendal's continuous stalling over the course of around a month with multiple discrepancies on the situation between himself and his own executives, shows that Kendal has malicious intent on the situation and has no intent to cooperate. Finally today, Alex Pip is unbanned, with Kendal's excuse being that the evidence was corrupted. This is obviously an easy out excuse to attempt to get away from any discipline against him. And even if the evidence was actually corrupted, why was this not acted upon sooner to help prevent this situation? With all of this being said, I move to say that this ban was false from the start, and that the bans without showing evidence had no evidence at all. I am aware that pencil came out and said that he was cheating, so in no way am I advocating for him to get unbanned as well. I am not advocating on behave of actual hackers. However, I am putting it out there that Kendal is not capable of following the necessary processes needed for these situations. Let us also not forget Silo's ban. Silo was banned off of a single clip, which was supposed to prove walls. Later during Silo's ban appeal, Kendal himself disproved his own evidence. This just goes to show even further that Kendal is too twitchy on the ban trigger without having proper evidence to convict anyone (who wasn't/isn't even hacking). Overall, this post is to bring up that Kendal is not fit for the role of Manager on the server, and shows great bias for himself and his acquaintances. With that said, it can show that this bias has been in other situations, such as the banning of players. Letting this go unchecked sets a dangerous precedent of the server and for the staff team. Kendal is not ready for the position and needs to be reprimanded for what he has let slide, and what he has done himself. Below is the proof of the rank promotions and the mass promotions of said ranks/players in question. Kendals names throughout the docs were Kendal, Baltic, Everglades, and Arctic.

As far as tracing and aiming goes, this guy seems fairly clean with the evidence that is shown. I will admit that the flashlight thing is kinda odd, and I see why certain players think it could be a toggle or something, but it has no direct correlation with the evidence that is shown. It's possible, but not proven 100%. Jim's first clip is quite odd though. Apparently Ramen was on the stairs on his side from what I was told. Without knowing where Ramen is, it's hard to say. It's possible he was 3rd Personing behind the door and looking through the window, but again without seeing Ramen's position it's hard to tell. +1 for Unban if no other evidence is posted.

Soap is a gamer who knows his shit. He hasn't been as active in the community until recently, but he dates back years and knows how MRP servers operate, how factions should run, etc. Although he may not have as much interaction with RU players, I think that barely matters. Of course if you're going to decide to main a faction in one country, without being staff, it would make sense to just work on your side and ser what you can improve just as a user. I think the fact that he is wanting to be staff shows that he has the ambition and is ready to work more with the RU side. +1

Even if you are 2GA PVTs, making yourself look like an ass on forums isn't gonna do anything. You'll just look more immature.

Aight. There's a lot of arguments on both sides, so let's just throw them all together and go down a list. Pros of DB Protection: Preventing senseless raids Preventing Mass RDMs Allows for a well thought out briefing before and after wars without any fear of Raids Encourages a somewhat serious tone for briefings and helps follow RP. Cons of DB Protection: Easy big feed raids are harder to pull off Could be abused to escape damage Now imma be real. Originally I thought DB protection was stupid, since all the protection you would need is people as lookouts around the base (Specifically, US falls under this problem). It also makes sense to raid a briefing since they are most vulnerable there. But, honestly the pros outweigh the cons in the long run. This also encourages some thought to raids and stuff like that, instead of just hopping on prestige and click Mouse 1. Shrimps kinda summed it up for me, and I feel the same way. However... This doesn't sound like a bad idea either. I doubt it would work though. So -1

ooohhhh. kill em. I actually thought about this today but told myself that it probably wouldn't happen. I guess I was wrong. I hope this helps with variety a lot as well as giving people more things to do than just sims, kidnaps, tryouts, and war. I'd love to see this put in action and hope that the rest of the community feels the same.

Gonna have to be gone for a bit cause I had to pick up more shifts at work since a few people did some stupid shit and got fired. I'll be back hopefully around Christmas, but it could extend to the new year. @Gildarts @Harris @Jake

They asked mom to get the camera, but-

Fuck Ni

I posted that meme of mine on imgur so I could put it on here, and some random thought I was talking about real life. Oops.

Fixed your meme for you

Apology threads do absolutely nothing. Anyone can day theybate sorry as much as they want, but unless the apology is rectified by him trying to change and us being able to see that, an apology thread is pointless and useless.

If this is the same GTA that I remember from when rangers came back in February, then Hard Pass. The amount of immaturity and toxicity that spewed out of your person was just god awful. Again, if for some reason this is a different GTA, then disregard everything I said. As far as my comments of immaturity and toxicity, refer to this resignation/departure thread:
