This would be feasable, but we need to put some code in to warn all players joining the server that "this isn't the normal expierence yada yada yada." Would be fun though!

@Lucki You dolt. MANGO is the guy who was ddosed. MORY MANGO is a small, skinny, smelly individual who was caught on camera breaking into houses during gang wars. Two completley different dudes.

You make me uncomfortable.

It worked. Has anyone ever told you not to poke a bear?

@Orgondo We have known eachother for a long time, almost 2 years now. For this reason alone I will give you a detailed response to your post. You think we don't do something about the people who break rules in this community? I will send you a screenshot of the amount of bans that have been issued in the last week, and the number will blow your mind. I would like to state for the record that we have a staff that is comprised of members who volunteer their time FREELY. We do not get paid to deal with the sniveling, disrespectful, toxic pieces of shit that crop up from time to time. We do not get paid to do the 50-100 tickets that come in daily, handle all of the communities issues, put on events, and support new members. We do this, and do this happily, because we love and care for the community. So yes, when I, like the rest of the staff, put in all of these hours and take time away from families and friends, get salty when I have people who do their utmost to cheat, lie, and slime their way through the community. I have personally banned many, MANY people for lagswitching, toxicity, scripting, and other breaks of Olympus Rules. You think we don't do something? We listen in on most conversations, but we cannot catch everything. If you hear someone admitting to breaking the rules, record and report it. A previous administration here would ban people willy-nilly on rumors alone, for everything from telling someone to "fuck a goat" to banning people for hacking with no evidence. As a staff, we are much more knowledgeable and realistic when it comes to punishing members of the community. This is a two-sided coin however, as this calmer approach that we have to situations tends to let some assholes slip through the cracks. As a prominent member of the community, if you want to see change, help us! Report those who break the rules, tell us who to watch for lag-switching/hacking, report those who are DDosing. Hold your peers to the standard that you want to see in the Community. We have a Staff of 10 members to watch 3 full servers, 24 hours a day. We do a DAMN good job doing it to, but we won't see 100% of everything. For you to tell me to grow a pair of balls is honestly laughable. Sometime in TS, I will pull you for a short hour and show you what we as staff deal with on a daily basis. It will open your eyes to a whole new world. @G.O.A.T.@bigPat@Ham can attest to this, as they are seeing a very, VERY small snippet of what we deal with as Senior Support Members. They will know better than any of you the amount of crap we get to deal with, and they only get a part of it. I never said Tree does any of the shady shit that some other people do, so please do not put words into my mouth. I was not singling out Ray Ray, and if you felt that way I formally apologize. This heated response is in regards to both this post and the previous one regarding entitled members of the community. Just take a step back and look at the whole picture please. That is all I ask.

Seeing posts like this makes me feel really appreciated. I'm glad that I put as much effort into Gang Wars, putting off family, work, and dedicating over 50 hours of prep-time for something that just gets picked apart by some salty sallies afterwards. If you don't like how it went down, next time win by a greater margin, or just don't participate. You would have cried like a little girl if your team was knocked out the way NW was, so I made an executive decision to make it a little more fair. Don't participate next time if you are going to continue to whine and snivel. To try to appease your whining, I am setting up a Grudge match fight at a future date between the two gangs. Enough is enough though, I have full creative control over Gang Wars, as it is an event that I put on for the community. If I decide to change a rule mid-war to make it more fair for some gangs to compete, than that is totally in my right to do so. The disconnecting during the match rule that I put in place for the Gang Wars was to get rid of you idiots who lag-switch. Apparently, you cannot fight fair, so you utilize slimy game-mechanics to win fights. The servers are set to auto-kick a player that loses connection. Mango was not kicked for losing connection, he was DDosed off the server. Wouldn't you feel slighted if your gang was down to the wire in a fight, went to a 1v1, and then some asshat who thinks he is funny ddoses your member and you lose out on gang wars? Think about someone else other than yourself. You are acting like an entitled child.

That is called combat logging.

Ok. Stop all of you. Welcome to the server dude. Check out our rules, and I highly suggest joining a gang if you want to fight here. We have a ton of gangs that are always looking for good members, and they can all be found here on the forums.

I just wanted to share my love of boats with everyone. Its not my fault they come into game with full gas tanks and an explosive charge on them.

Are you back?

Holy crap! Where the heck have you been?

No.

Good to hear old players are returning! That being said, a few rules might have changed/been tweaked since you have last been around. Please contact a Support Member in TS and they will direct you to the important rule sets.
