Your name: D-Boi Your Discord ID name: daddysickomode Your Discord ID code: 834949815954833428 Which discord server were you banned on?: SCP What was the reason for your ban (if you know it)?: No idea Why do you deserve to be unbanned?: well, i haven't done anything wrong to my knowledge? When i went to inquire about my ban, makin a ticket in the general discord, i was banned there too, with no answer could at least TELL me what I did, even though as far as I can tell, I haven't really done anything. you'd think havin spend hundreds of hours on the server, and over a grand in cash on it, i'd be owed an explanation of that at the very least.

+support W idea

I was gonna say like 50-55, since we dont really hit 60 consistently either

What are you suggesting? - As stated by title, a lower necessary player count for scps self breaching, because as of right now there is no reason to hop on an SCP the majority of the time without being actively requested by research or CI, since you aint gonna get to do anything otherwise. I like GL man, but we hit 70 players for 5 minutes today, during a meeting, and dropped back to the 50's within half an hour. Thats the one time we've reached 70 that I have seen at any time of the day in a fat minute. How would this change better the server? - Activity for quite literally every branch on the server. Genuinely NO ONE does not benefit from this. MTF get to do something besides run circles in LCZ and pop some level 14 d-class in the chest every 10 minutes, CI gets a new factor to consider and utilize in raids or espionage, sec have a new threat wandering around that can deal with escaped d-class and gois so they can hold d-block easier, D-class will get to do more besides killing sec and existing given the necessity to feed SCPs to placate them, as well as being able to use the breaches to their advantage to get around distracted opponents, maintenance will ACTUALLY have something to DO besides just building weird structures and armoring gensec, medical can deal with scp related injuries, the list goes on, there is NO ONE that will not benefit from this. Are there any disadvantages of making this change to the server? If so, explain. - 0. None. No tangible downsides. Considering how much downtime all the branches have, they wouldnt get overwhelmed, and even if they did, christ we have 4 fucking MTF branches, I think the site will be fine. Who would this change mostly benefit? - Everyone. Please link any workshop content, screenshots, or anything that you think may be helpful to those who view this suggestion - naw

+support wait yall wait NLR?

+/- Support This isnt already allowed? Ngl I just mow down whoever I know is actively being an obstacle to a raid, I thought that was just how that works. My only problem with this is wording, what is and isnt considered "interference" needs to be more narrowed down, because I will definitely spend more time in sits than in raids.

I have liked all the new maps so far, but this is just...this is just yoinking another servers map and slappin some shit on it. Lemme break it down for yall. 1: Conveyance. The maps we do have are in random ass spots, and usually not actually angled in the direction the map shows, so you have to look around the area to orient yourself, as well as signs being very few and far between to tell you what is where and what is what. Entry level EZ? Is that the one with or without the gates? Sure, we can jam random fucking signs on everything, but like....why should everything be vague? 2: Layout. Why does every zone have 2 floors? What connects to what is super fucking vague. Ez and LCZ should both be one floor. HCZ being multi floored makes sense, its got the bulk of the fuckshit in it. But why would LCZ need to be two stories? same with LCZ? There is too many elevators which makes mass movement a pain in the nuts, as well as the general lack of overall cohesion in terms of navigation. Sure you could eventually learn it through playing a bunch, but like, with the older maps, you would know go this way to do this thing, follow this path to go this way, even guessing would get you a distance. Now? I get lost in single areas for ages, without any real opportunity to navigate further without just getting lost. Even people who RECOGNIZE the map from its source, or shit like that, get lost. Its frustrating as hell. 3: Redundancy. There is dead ends, doors leading nowhere, pointless rooms and props. There is so so SO much unused shit, and while yeah, I figure it will be used later in the case of at least like...1/3 of it, there is a bunch of other rooms and shit that just has no purpose for existing, the umpteenth empty room with nothing in it, and all the same old same old shitty scp cells that all look identical. There is a lot of nothing, and too much that just has no purpose. For example: why does CI base have a back entrance? Isnt it like, right into their spawn, making it USELESS for an MTF raid? They would never leave out of it for a raid or any reasonable reason, because honestly, the time it takes to get anywhere would make it worthless. 4: Consistency. Next to NOTHING is consistent. Some rooms look like they had all of 15 seconds spent on them, others look like they added a good month onto the development time. Locations seem random, what is and isnt relevant is wildly variable, and overall what can and cant be done is just...anyones best guess. Why is there a randomly super detailed garage with movable objects and shit like a car lift, but some flagship scps get a shitty retextured box? Why do the meeting rooms feel like concert halls, but CI now has to cram into an area that makes a small town community college dorm room look spacious? Why are there some windows that are one sided, then others that arent? Some doors that open right there, others from a console a mile away, even if the stakes or location for their opening and closing is the same? I like the overall vibe of this map, I like the way it looks, feels, but there is so much just awful about it that I think they need to take a step back and either A: fix these glaring issues while running an old map in the meantime, or B: try a new map altogether. Its not like this one is some built from the ground up masterpiece, its like a fuckered scrambled version of civil. and we dont even need to talk about d block. + SUPPORT

I was gone for like, a year and a half, and the armory has a whole one new gun. New armory time +support

i remember setting up fight clubs with betting in d-block all the time as bright. It was the shit.

+support Censorship is cringe. As former Research Command and RFA I approve this message.

Define "around." My brother in christ, I aint played Gmod in like...2 months.

+support Yall know that the filtration process between racist micspam and just playing music is...hilariously easy, right? Seriously yall remind me of my lil white spanish teacher from a small town in the midwest, at a high school in the midwest, who tried to tell a black teen from seattle he couldnt say the n-word, and was left struggling for words and reasons when he asked "Why?" Kids??? You shittin me? if they have made it to both Gmod and SCP, they are way beyond savin, believe me. The N-word is probably mild to them at most. "oH bUt No MiCsPaM" Suck a dick, tbh. It stops no one, and the rule primarily applies to OBNOXIOUS mic spam, i.e someone just playing earrape or stupid shit. yall playin' gmod, you think you know racism on this game? go play border rp, go on, hop on it, if i were to walk down the main road and took a shot for every slur I saw on signs and text screens, I would die of alcohol poisonin before I made it halfway. Thats what yall seem to think this shit is gon become when it aint. It is not the end of the world I PROMISE you.

Yuh i know that wasnt the intention, the intention just aint relevant anymore, suggestion went through, LMGS and Snipers are all that matter rn.

And now everyone and their mom is sprayin negevs and one tapping tank classes. Delightful.

oi yall aint out the woods yet, the sf is still edgy, i just appreciate that when given an abundance of sped perms yall shouldnt have, thankfully you just do stupid shit with it lmao. That wasnt always the case, yall doin aight rn. I forgor EOI (im tired, aight) and it wont let me edit, so Yall been getting your balls stepped on with nerfs and shit. I think the whole "Eye of Inquisition" thing is edgy, and pointless. Im sure CI has spies, but like...they dont gotta be pretentious like that in relation to spyin. Sleuth had it right, and its what I hope that both RFA and EOI take after. Sleuth was not handpicked, it was just thoroughly trained for, you knew the rules, and restrictions, and you were trusted with a good SUB BRANCH of a job. It had unique perms, responsibilities, but no stupid powers and needless secrecy, no hidden smoke and mirrors shit, you had a job, you did it. It wasnt hand picked, you met the rank requirement, got your training, did your job. If you fucked up or abused the shit, you would get removed from it. simple as that. Thats how it should be with stuff like that. Yall gotta go back to the good ol days, sleuth always better, and it could so revive RnD to make it non hand picked again.

fr, most dono weapons gargle dick at this point. KBS Longbow does 95 damage a headshot, the only place that damage is good enough it class D and its restricted there. Also, JRs are the most effective and violent motherfuckers on the server. You see a JR with a five seven solo a prophet? I have. It aint that hard to cap an MF with 100 100. Anyways, git gud aside, my honest take on GL is the following: 1: Rp fucking sucks. We dont HAVE rp, we have to force it. It got so bad that medical, a dying branch, had to be the only place that could have medkits other than medical units, but then la di da i have a CC in every fucking branch and could just hop on and off throwing my medkits to the boys, or just keepin' it for myself and being my own medic. What rp can you truly do that isnt /me /roll and thats good enough? I wrote test logs and only one was actually done in rp. What happened in game wasnt even rp, it was a floating chair that we threw at the walls for 10 minutes cause it was fucking hilarious, because thats how bored research got. Being RFA was tons of fun, and had good rp, but oh boy, hand selected exclusive force moment. SFs are fucking stupid. Most are either A: Not lore compliant, and just seem like edgy powertrip OCs, or B: Shouldnt even be a hand picked force or SF? Like why is RFA handpicked, half of what research DOES in lore involves its agents on site and in the field. We are just givin exclusive perms to kids and teens who haven't had power over anything greater than what they want in their lunchbox that day, and now we let em boss around people just tryna play a video game. Here is the SFs we got: E4, the generic edgy lone wolf group that lore wise is super cringe, but is mainly just a free-pass to minge with the other E4 and do dumb stuff. I mean, sure. I dont have any respect for pretty much any SF, and I think out of all of them E4 are given the most pointless power, but thankfully, the current E4 kinda just do sped shit, which is funny. So, respect to them. D4, human tumors....robots...cyborg...whatever the fucks. They have the most sped weakness too, which I wont say here, but I know, and its like, cmon, of all the things yall edgy motherfuckers arent immune to, its that? Its a moot point, cause the scenarios that INVOLVE that problem are literally non existent. But no, otherwise its half the scps countered, you take my comms oh dead mans hand, oh you take me im a fucking nuke, like bro, yall called yourselves "Coldsilver" ( REMOVED IMAGE, ~ TALILA) RRH, im largely fine with. They actually exist in lore, and truth be told, I dont know much of anything about em. Technically not an SF. Why aint they just a branch you gotta work your way into? Thatd be 80x better. Plus, code of silence is cringe, you wanna type everything? Have fun. Nice to not have to worry about that somewhere. HSU, or should I say D4 but not D4. What is it now? HTF? ATF? NFT? I dunno it was the same shit as D4. Same problems. RFA, oh my baby. I dont really have too much of a problem with how we work, I just dont think we should be as secretive and serious as we were startin to get by the time I resigned. That, and we shouldnt be handpicked. Agents are important, and too much of Research is already just sittin' on your nuts anyways. The RP itself with SCPs is put on the back burner, the best you get is events that usually just end in chaos and violence at best, and maybe like one good scenario if you are lucky, or you lag the server, crash it, cause a mountain of problems, etc. Combat is playing ping pong with the new meta. Oh hey, gun rework, this gun is great, time for it to be in, yknow. Every. Fucking. Branch. You want a unique loadout? Make a CC. Its what i did when I got recon force, and i stopped givin a shit and now we just have meta weapons. Yee haw. Like bro yes you are cracked with your m98b and m16a4, bro same i just killed half the server with this shit. It dont mean dick, I can run it and spray and take W's cause they're god tier guns. And in a month, they'll all be ass. Just once, I want weapon balancing to make everything viable, EVERYTHING. Not this is op this sucks everything else is aight, but everything works if you can make it work. We are a combat focused server nowadays, but even that can be a kick in the fucking nuts with hit reg and lag and shit. Donor store is kinda...inoffensive to me, to be honest. Some shit is good, some is bad, the rest gets you more shit to do, end of story. Not really concerned about anything there, I picked up some stuff, seems fine, worked well, good enough. CC prices and addons, bro, im getting my balls tap danced on just reading them. My brother in christ, its not technically a lot for anybody with a job, but you got broke ass teens buyin shit and its like plz bro think about your financial stability. They're PAINFUL to look at. Jolly fucking CHRIST. The server itself needs more depth. The map, is just kinda... i mean it aint bad, its just, it just is. Thats it, its a map. Maybe it was cool to all of us when we joined, but like, its really just halls rooms halls room and nothing more interesting than that. The server is unoptimized, every simple thing seems to make it lag, to the point where shit gets denied because everyone assumes it causes lag. Its not the biggest secret to figure out the costs of running a gmod server, its not like you cant look it up and find shit about it. Even if this was super pricy, does it not make a bunch of money? The server is nothing if not profitable, to say the least. The daily highest donation is waved like a flag, and the top ten of all time wave their banners high on the store main page. The home page of the store, the FIRST thing you see when you click the link? Highest donations, the profitability being swung like a flag for all to see. At time of writing, the highest donation for the day is 250$. This doesn't show who else donated though, does it? Who was the last highest donator today? how much did they spend? I got outclassed when I bought my fucking CLAN within an hour for how much someone spent. At the end of the day, this is a gmod server, this game is sped. We need to stop catering to pussies and idiots, and start catering to a bigger playerbase. No, someone isnt gonna die because I called my friend a tard, no a black man casually sayin the n word to a friend isnt gonna end the fabric of reality, all these slurs and shit, what the fuck ever, words are words. All in all, GL has to shape the fuck up. I dont play much anymore, and it was a rough burn out. I gave this server weeks of my time, months even, been around for over a year, gave it plenty of money. Gl should strive to make a server where I dont have to look back at those investments and wonder if it was worth it, or to more often than not, regret it. Cmon zeep, you are chill as fuck from the times I have seen you talk, like in the premier jokin around and shooting the shit with people. Why we hidin and insulting people now when they say shit? When i asked for transparency, you said it would help to not assume things. Would we have to assume shit if there was transparency between the community and its staff, even at the highest ranks? No. Cmon man, we didnt come to this forums post because we have hated this place from square one. Make it one of those servers we were happy to play on, make it something we adore again, something we can look at and say "fuck yea, i wanna get into this shit, I wanna play this shit." We all didnt keep on stayin' for nothing, make us remember why we did.

tomato, as former DHOR, you of all people should be aware just how little shit research has to do. You can write test logs...which, isnt on the server. You can maybe test on an scp, but you either get some 8 year old from the middle east who barely understands you, some minge, or someone who is hellbent on simply getting out to cause chaos rather than rp. So you have to grab another researcher to do the rp for you, which is just...uncomfortable. What are our options for scps that dont require anything but you? Schizo Bell Hand Bowl thats a one trick pony Russian Roulette with a book to see if you die, have to ask for someone to kill you, or become wolverine for half an hour. Minge Ice Self harm paper Hm. Great variety. Im sure that these are all delightful examples of fun in game stuff to do. I get we're an rp branch, but like...what the fuck RP am i gonna do when every one of my d-class keep trying to orally pleasure an offbrand weeping angel statue? What rp am I gonna do when Ihave to clunkily direct a room full of jackasses to eye up something to see if it does something unique or if the player is a minge? My favorite rp experience, adverting to a server and having to bribe them with money to convince them just to be present for a test. The best one, /roll to figure out scenarios and outcomes I already thought of and now just have to figure out if it works. /me injects ketamine into a fucking lizard, like what am I gonna do thats genuinely interesting that isnt just me typing? Ya got the scps whos gameplay aspects you can play mythbusters with, like how you can make sleeper agent 610's by using 035 and 610 together to give someone their gear and infection capabilities, you can try and speedrun the pocket dimension, but like...294 is the one thing where you can go to it, and DO something variable. It aint much, but we are fucking eating away at options here.

I think EOI's lives are hard enough with the sheer metagame they're drowned in. If the foundation cant have their 3 mtfs on site, their security force, and whoever catches and reports the one suspicious person wandering through base solve the spy problem, they deserve to be spied on. With the amount of nerfs EOI has been drowned in, I think its fine. Besides, when bunks are a thing, and the necessity of testing with various dangerous creatures and substances, why wouldnt their be wardrobes and such in places for staff to access? Its a GMod server, not an in depth RP. In SCP:CB Maynard managed to cripple the entire site with one small plan and a flick of a switch. Didnt seem too hard for him to literally finesse the security of the foundations biggest site for ci. Foundation has every advantage. If they get fucked on, they deserve it for not pressing said advantage.

Ohhh, okay. Well, that makes sense. I think everyone had at least like, 3 drinks they had made lmfaoooo.

wait is it spawning of 294 thats super admin+ or just, usage? If its usage, just remove it

dude, they have made it to scp-rp. Not only did they get into SCP, they got into Gmod. They are already fuckered. That is NOT a good argument. If yall wanna see some real racism, go play border rp. Then yall can see whats some real shit. Everyone needs to stop being soft. Its so ingrained in our culture and you aint gonna shelter anybody from it. Find a clean version? Bro, to them its like saying "dude" its just so common in their slang and language that its just normal. Yall aint gonna unnormalize it by hiding it, and I doubt the majority of people care. +support
