GitP/ChHa Server Thread IV: For Science. You Monster.

[Volatar]

I love that map!

[Penguinizer]

It takes forever to get through one round. I'm just saying that it could use a time limit at the very least.

[Volug]

I really like the map myself =\

I can very well see how one round can drag on forever, which is a bummer >_<

If possible, a time limit would be nice. I can't remember if mods have map changing powers or anything similar, if it gets out of hand they can probably fix stuff.

Also, I highly doubt anyone has noticed my absence on steam, or really care to much... But I"m still alive... But can't get on due to a certain bet...

[Valaqil]

I, too, love that map. I will say that a time limit is not a bad request, however. It _shouldn't_ take forever to finish, but I've been party to at least one (horrible) occasion when it did.

[Fawkes]

Fine, but that's the old page. New page is here.

WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY GROUPS

[Byrnbot08]

WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY GROUPS

BECAUSE WE'RE COOL WITH THAT.

Or, more likely, we are so disorganised that we cannot form a neat orderly set of groups.

Currently I know and am a member of:

• Giant in the Playground - This website as a whole.
• Chocolate Hammer - Rutskarn's followers.
• Chocolate Hammer || ChHa Server Group - Rutskarn's followers + this thread.
• ChHa/GitP TF2 Competitive/Events - Comp Teams.
• GitP L4D2 -Guys with L4D2.

We can probably try and narrow that down to the following:

• GitP Steam Servers - Steam Thread followers on GitP.
• Giant in the Playground - Website as a whole

This is not counting the whole ChHa Yellow/Green/Red/Blue/Rainbow thing we have going on for that summer thingie that everyone has forgotten about as well as other, smaller auxillary groups such as that weird Sniper group, the "don't kill in humiliation group", Doc's Sea Slugs and other assorted drivel.

Man, we suck at group management.

WHY DO WE HAVE SO MANY MEMES

[Phase]

Well we can't get rid of the original Chocolate Hammer group, cause that's to do with the blog, not the server.

[Volatar]

Why do we have to combine the groups? The separate groups are a GOOD THING.

My eyes say different.

Actually, that's a fair point. I should probably have made the group open to everyone to begin with. Not many people use the [GitP] tag anymore, in any case, so pretty much the only people likely to use it will be people here.

Any objections to making the group open to everyone to join? If not, I'll open it tomorrow and apologise for leaving it invite-only for so damn long

Sounds good to me. People won't have to ask for invite anymore :)

[Oh no]

"lukenator1" STEAM_0:0:27691733

Spamming what?

I'm sorry if it's nosy, I'm just confused; I played with him too (I think at the same time as you?) at least for an hour or two, and didn't notice anything...

[dyslexicfaser]

Me either; I don't recall anything questionable. I guess maybe if it was on the team channel...

[Bryn]

The GitP Steam group is now public.

[Oh no]

he kept spamming in the chat like...i cant remember now but it was really annoying because i was trying to talk to someone at one point and he kept typing something that didnt even have any relevance to anything hed just randomly keep typing it...and i actually posted that when he was doing it lol...i was rather annoyed...

[Dispozition]

You'll have to be more specific than that to warrant us outright banning him. I certainly wouldn't ban someone with such generic information, although I can't talk for Djinn or Potato who actually control the off server bans.

[Oh no]

yea i didnt really be very specific about it but he was continuously trolling...he was claiming to be a /b/tard sooo yea thats what kinda made me say something...

[Phantom123]

I do actually kinda remember some people babbling about that stuff. Hell, I think I actually warned one of 'em that they were saying some things that might not be appropriate... I just didn't remember who :p That jogs my memory, anyways...

[Valaqil]

I know it can be a little difficult to find one at times, but we really do have enough mods now. If you ask (and there's space!), one of the mods is almost certain to be available to join the server for a bit and help calm things down. Be sure to hunt for one if there is a problem.

See, now you're being inconsistent. First you said he was spamming, now it's trolling.

While I can't actually ban outside of being on the server, I don't think Djinn or Potato would ban for such an unspecific charge. In future, grab screenshots/demos or at least give us a bit more detail.

Although having said that, they might still ban him, I'unno.

[Oh no]

ehh it doesnt matter now anyways i havent seen him on since then and he was doing a mix of spamming and trolling im trying to remember every part at first he was just spamming but later on he was trolling and making people mad which caused i think phatom and uhh...i dont remember who else to say they need to back off or they can get banned but yea it doesnt matter now he hasnt been on since

[Oh no]

NOT UPWARD?! MY BELOVED, BELOVED UPWARD?!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Ok, I'm over it. Look forward to the problem being fixed!

[potatocubed]

I think there may have been a Steam update last night - perhaps to fix the hole in the roof on Upwards? - which caused the problems.

Anyway, a quick Steam update and 'turn it off and on again' seems to have done the trick.

[Byrnbot08]

Hole in the roof of Upwards? Wait... if there was a hole in the roof, wouldn't that have led to the Great Void Beyond?

Valve, you fools, you imbeciles nay, nincompoops. ISN'T THAT DANGEROUS?!

They could have caused an apocalyptic and systematic destruction of the TF2 world with their carelessness, through a series of dimensional faults amplifying themselves through the dark energies seeping from the Great Void and collapsing within one another, causing a strange cascade effect as the multiverse falls into itself.

I WAS AFRAID OF THE VERY SAME...EXCEPT I WAS THINKING THAT IT HAPPENED AND UPWARD WAS JUST THE START!

also i was curious how to record demos of the game? cuz id like to know who incase i have to...

[Snowstorm]

I thought we were turning off the reserved slots on the main server?

Having it taunt me at 23/24 with 'SERVER FULL' and not getting the chance to retry joining is beginning to get my goat.
