[Announcement] The Return of CSS ZE!

[Darkling 2,041 / 23,470]

I'd like to add a little clarity to the rumours spreading about CS:S ZE/RU community returning.

I'll refer to GFLclan.ru as RU and GFLclan.com as GFL to make this easier.

 

Juky (whom some of you may remember) had got into contact with @Roy as he had some concerns with keeping the server hosted on their end. They then discussed the possible return to us, and before that decision was finalised, there were some terms from both ends.

 

• Shinigami and Botox will, at this moment in time, remain banned
• The server will be moved to our OVH server and the plugins will be recompiled to ensure the servers safety
• Current VIPs within RU will transfer over to GFL
• The server will be having 2 server managers (@Dogan and @Backy) from within the RU community—Soft Serve and Vanya’s official ranks are still under discussion
• The current server rules and admin team of CS:S ZE will remain as they currently are
• As is currently the norm, global admins (Council/DL/TA) will also respect the rules within that server and will ensure that if they are to join the server that they familiarise themselves with said rules

 

There are also a couple of points I will mention. For instance, due to the current issues within RU, the donations from RU will not be transferring over to GFL; this is in relation to the issue above about hosting the server. There are also discussions happening to unban Juky (he would not be given a rank), as thanks for bringing both communities together and to enable him to continue playing on CS:S ZE. Feel free to comment your opinion as well.

 

These are the majority of terms which were discussed and are relatively simple. We would like to ensure that CS:S ZE isn't altered as much as possible, as we don't want to alienate the current players.

Overall, we believe this is a good step for both communities in burying the hatchet and moving on. I would also like to thank the RU members who have been involved within these discussions, especially Juky, who initially brought this to us and helped find common ground between the communities.

 

This means that we will start seeing people from RU getting involved within GFL over the next few weeks, I'd love if we could make them feel welcome and get to know each other as one big community bound by a common interest!

 

If you'd like to read over RU's post on this topic it is here: https://forum.gflclan.ru/d/935-a-tale-of-two-turfs-community-merge-backstory They do cover some points which I haven't within this post.

I am also going to link the CS:S ZE Discord for anyone who is interested in getting to know some of the RU members before this move is fully completed: https://discordapp.com/invite/JyAxA7K

 

Finally, I’d also like to personally welcome everyone from RU and I hope to get to know as many of you as possible in the near future!

I have very mixed feelings about this.  I hope it turns out well.

Mixed feelings on both sides, no doubt. Hard to blame people to be dubious of this.

 

In any case, it's surreal to think that there's a conclusion to an almost forgotten two-year rift. It feels as though it's been longer than that. I hope the transition is as smooth as possible.

 

And who knows? Maybe my Juju will be unbanned after all.

Can we say nigger? Asking for fellow .ru players.

 

Also, hello all .com players.

As a css ze player who has played before the split I hope only the best will come from this. I hope people who abandoned the css ze server due to the split come back. There is a big difference between the communities now, its hard to see the anything goes attitude on css not coming into conflict with the new servers people may go to. Overall though i hope this decision will benefit both communities. 

One thing i would like to mention is Juky. I am very biased towards him and the others responsible for the split since I have known them for years. I know its hopeless to think Shini or botox would be unbanned, but seeing Roy's comment about the status of juky being unsure at the moment makes me hope he is going to be unbanned. Even though he is responsible for the split I hope the time and the effort he put into bringing the communities back together doesn't go unnoticed. He cares more about the css ze server than anyone else, that he is willing to give up playing it just so that it can further benefit from a merger.

If it's on ZE, I'd wager you can say it as much as you want.

There’s only 2 outcomes to this. 1. It goes well 2. It doesn’t I hope it works out but some people can’t bury their feelings.

As a proud pedophile racist with autism I'm happy that you have finally accepted us back into your arms. 
Thank You

Cool

Im extremely excited as I use to play on CSS ZE all the time before the split. When it comes to unbanning people I have mixed feelings. RU clearly had different motives at the time but that was 2 years ago. I think is reasonable solution is unban juky for now and can only be member, same goes for the rest if they ever do get unbanned. Restrictions will be placed where they can not be anything higher then VIP, and in the long run if possible discussion about making one of them an admin, extreme supervision should be placed on them.

 

ADDITION: If they ever do become an admin, any possible friction between them and another user should result in a temporary demotion so no one pulls a @Wilford_brimleyy

hello .com,

 

It is good to be back to our "original home", and most of us are really excited for this opportunity! Regardless of the seemingly lukewarm reception by some people here and on the .ru forums, I think that this will go well. A lot of people worked hard and compromised to get this discussion started (and will continue to do so until it is completed), so let's give them the thanks and respect they deserve rather than trash their efforts before this merge has a chance to even see the light of day. Please take the time to go over the details of the merge and ask questions if needed before dooming it prior to it's inception. If things go according to plan, the transition will be smooth and those of us who have been playing on .ru will carry on as normal. We will simply have the benefit of a larger population base and a lot of nice people that were left behind for whatever reason, or we may even get new faces that could become some of the server's regulars of tomorrow.

 

I just want to assure the .com players and community members that regardless of a bit of our wild behavior and degeneracy, most of us are good people that just stuck to our server when the split happened and "did nothing wrong". We just want to keep playing on our server and enjoying the Zombie Escape community that we have built. We welcome you all to give it a shot, and the admin team will do it's best to accommodate new and returning players as well as to keep the server as up-to-date and exciting as ever! Personally, I am happy to be able to keep working with the Head admins and admins that I have been shaping the community with (regardless of "official titles") because there is no replacing this great team that we have built. Of course, we will welcome new possible additions to the admin team in due time and look forward to seeing what you can bring to the table.

 

So please, let's all give each other a chance and be thankful and look forward to one of GFLclan.com's "founding servers" coming home where it belongs. As for some of the discussions that need to happen regarding donations, unbans of certain members, etc., I hope that in due time we can come to an agreement between the 2 communities.

don't forget to rep your official gfl ze clan tag when playing

[OxideTM 11 / 2,233]

I am literally happy that this finally happened. I have been dreaming about this since forever. I joined this place while searching for a ZE server back in 2013-2014 and I was really glad I found this place out and met a lot of people back in the day. I had little to no tolerance for autism and racism but the autistic cancerous environment made me realize its all fun in games unless some commits suicide. 

 

Anyway, I was a bit disappointed .com and RU had a split and many kewl kids left CS:S ZE and I really do hope we might get all of the back so CSS:ZE will be once again 64/64 most of the time. 

A little rant: We all do mistakes in our lives. We chose paths which we regret later but hey, that's what being human means. Forgive and forget. I am nobody at this place but I would surely like to see senpai, Botox and Juky back in the servers later if not sooner and I am sure the upper ones in the management will sort everything out. 

Wishing good luck to both sides.
