Sometimes I spill my milk and I explode in anger. Someone else seeing this might claim it's spilled milk; nothing to cry over. What they didn't see is that I've been spilling my milk 300x per day everyday for the past 10 years and I've done everything I can trying to prevent my milk from spilling, but it still happens. I'm not angry that the milk spilled once; I'm angry about it always happening.
This incident itself is horrible, and nobody should lose their life over a petty or nonviolent crimes. Worse is that it's not even giving light to a greater problem; that greater problem has already been well-known for a very long time. I mean not long ago exactly the same story, but people were talking about Eric Garner. Still very recent was Ahmaud Arbery maybe just a few weeks ago because being a person of colour and going for a run is a high risk activity. This wasn't just a racist white cop against a black man, but there are (subconscious) bias and systematic racism. People of colour and minorities are always running against the wind (and possibly bullets); there are huge barriers for the most basic and fundamental needs or respect that people like me automatically have.
It's not a trivial problem. There are a lot of programs aiming to wipe this bias and topics like this are being covered in school and elite universities. I literally took a class at my university that basically told me that I was racist, and it was really challenging for me. Something I've noticed between my younger girlfriend and I is that her lack of bias is very much natural compared to my thought process. To me it's like translating a language. It takes me a moment to tell myself "Oh, that's kind of racist" or "That's not fair." I have to correct myself or go against my intuition. I don't want to think the wrong way first and I am embarrassed, but I grew up in a society that was okay with this way of life. A lot of people still don't even bother correcting their self. So maybe as the next generation assumes many of these leadership roles where doing the right thing is more natural for them, that these problems will happen less. Unfortunately, for now, being quiet about it doesn't seem to be working and so while being loud isn't the preferred method it's practically the only way to possibly get something.
I couldn't have said it any better. Joshy basically took all my thoughts and put it into that post.
I really don't like the idea of rioting much because I think it will cause a lot of unrest and division, however, this issue really needs to be brought to the eye of the general public. I think people are underestimating the severity of the situation to people who are disadvantaged. I feel like people know about the topic of police brutality, but it's not resonating enough with them. I've seen and heard these stories before, and the cops are actually pretty scary. I can't imagine being attacked by a cop, especially in the way that George Floyd was. It's always really frustrating to see cases of this because it feels like we haven't learned anything from previous episodes of this. There are some times where I need to tell myself to think about other experiences and not go off my own. My experiences won't be the same as everyone else's experiences, which I also think a lot of people need to recognize. I'm a straight white male. I won't have the same encounter or thought process about a certain system as other people of a race, ethnic group, gender, and anything else you want to name here.
There are always those times where I think things about an issue just from my perspective and then I see the other side and I have to accept that I was very wrong about it. When I first saw this, I was like, "Why are they rioting? That's the worst way to go about this.", but then I remembered just how long police brutality has been occurring in the US and I really felt bad about what I had said earlier because I wasn't taking any of that into consideration. I remembered that there are people being traumatized by police brutality, whether it's directly at them, or it's at someone else.
After I took all of this into consideration, I came to a conclusion. Yes, rioting isn't peaceful, but people are making a point about a topic that has fallen on deaf ears for the most part. We all need to stand together as humans and hold ourselves accountable for treating each other equally, no matter if you're a minority or a majority, democrat or republican, man or woman, christian or muslim, and the list goes on and on. We're a different culture and we need to embrace it. Rioting isn't peaceful, but it's bringing attention to something that desperately needs it.

Man, it'd have to be getting admin on HnS. Becoming admin on here was honestly a turning point for me in any game.
I'd often think that I was never good enough to be admin before I applied and even though I had multiple sponsors, I just went it with the "Fine I'll give it a go" attitude, and it was a huge success that I don't think I'll ever regret. I don't think I'd still be around if I wasn't a staff member because as a staff, people look up to you and it's always nice to help the newer players, plus you can keep the server in tact when it's needed the most.
Being admin has also allowed me be more confident in myself and get to know other staff more, and ultimately talk to more people who want to be a part of the staff team, so I can say the most unforgettable moment is becoming part of the HnS staff.

Honestly, my goal is just to play around and have good relationships with the playerbase. I want to have fun with the players and take jokes while enforcing the rules and being remembered as a good admin. That's basically it tbh.

At least regarding gmod hide and seek, I don't know if that would be a good idea. Under the presupposition that we did so and our HNS server got massive support and people started playing games on hns, they would flood the server making it difficult again for admins to get on. For this to be even tenable we would have to increase the player slots to probably at least 64, but then the problems becomes lag from the sheer amount of people engaged with the server at once.
Technically, I think how it works is we have 64 open slots to play, but if we even get to 32 players (which we rarely do anyway), I think the last 32 slots are reserved for VIP's and Admins to be able to get on (unless people connect from the HnS IP). The lag will just depend on the server, how well optimized the map is, how good the player's PC is. I know people who can get 200+ frames with 15-25 people on well-optimized maps. However, I have a horrible PC and can't even get half that number (I'm on I-3 with integrated graphics LOL)
34 minutes ago, FrankAL said:Regarding competition, I don't really understand how it would work regarding hide and seek. Would it be that the winner is the person who gets the most points on a specific map, and if so what is the actual prize? Also, even if that is how it worked, I don't see it really getting any real traction. It's hide and seek, and the competition would really be artificially injected. It's true that we have try hards on the server, where I sometimes have fun putting the effort in.
Although, there may be a way that hide and seek could work in a competitive sense that might actually be very interesting. For instance, let's say that there is a separate locked server, and 32 people would be included if they signed up for a specific tournament time(if they don't make it on time they forfeit automatically, though there can be some leniency)(there should also be some requirements to join the tournament, such as a certain amount of time playing with gfl hns, and a relatively clean warn template). 1 person is the designated starting seeker(it'd have to be situated so admins can force choose the starting seeker), and that person(preferably a skilled admin) has the goal of tagging everyone. If everyone is tagged in 5 consecutive rounds(the duration of a map), then the starting seeker wins. However, if everyone isn't tagged in 5 consecutive rounds, and we have a set amount of hiders in some round, then all of the tagged people would be kicked, with all that being left is the starting seeker and the hiders that survived. However, after a certain threshold of people being removed for getting tagged and losing, the map is a changed to a smaller designated map so it becomes more difficult to get away with surviving the round. For example, a large map like Geekroom or littletown from 32 players to 20, and then might turn into something like museum from 19 to 10 players, and then lower to smallotown or plaza from 9 to 2 hiders left. If there is 1 hider left in the end, then there will be 1 more round between the seeker and the hider. If the hider is tagged, the seekers wins. if the hider survives, the hider wins. The reward could be a large amount of pointshop points, and maybe a special pointshop item limited only to tournament winners like that.
This would probably be very fun, and tournaments could be done semi monthly. They could be hosted on something like twitch if someone wants.
As for competition, I'd say that if we were going to do a competitive HnS tournament, we should do it in a separate server. This means we won't get caught in the crossfire with newer players and players hoping to just hop on and chill on HnS. We need to make sure the server isn't hosted in a bad spot (i.e. if most people were from the EST time zone if we did a competitive map, we wouldn't want the map hosted in Asia/Australia). We should have everyone in that specific map be a seeker once and hiding every other time until everyone has a turn as a seeker. Once a hider gets tagged, they need to go to spectate so the designated seeker is the only one to tag people. Obviously, they cannot go into spectator to avoid getting tagged, because that'd rob a seeker of points they need, and they cannot tell the seeker where the hiders are as a spectator, they cannot say where anyone is because that'd be ghosting. The scoring would ideally be the same, with hiders getting 3 points every round they win and a seeker getting a point for every person they tag. Once everyone has a turn at seeker, then we count up the points. Whoever has the most points by the end would get the prize. Now, I also think 2nd and 3rd place should get a prize as well because 2nd and 3rd won't be easy to get. With some people being better at the game than others, it's only fair that we offer the other people some prize, although it won't be anywhere near as good as first place.
Now, I think the reward should be 5 million pointshop points or all the playermodels in the pointshop. This will entice a lot of prominent figures into joining the competitive match and it will really raise the stakes. A lot of people would want the money, so giving them lots of points/skins is a good idea. This will also get newer players into the action (only if they want to, of course) because they're also going to be looking for the money. Another solution that we could do is have a skin/accessory only available to people who've won in competitive HnS.
Another point that should be obvious but I'll say it anyway, you will be kicked from the server if you're being toxic/harassing people/hacking/breaking the rules normally found on HnS. This is for money and but in the end sportsmanship still applies, and we don't condone unsportsmanlike conduct on HnS, so we shouldn't do it here. Also, teaming with others to get more points will not be allowed. You have to tag people as the seeker. Also, people that are banned from HnS or GFL in general wouldn't be able to participate. They're banned, it's only fair.
The last thing I want to talk about here is the maps. We should not do a map like Tulip where people constantly complain about frames. I often get ~10 frames on that map and we shouldn't do a map with bad statistics. Also, I'm leaning towards a bigger map because for a tournament, we are going to want as many people to participate as possible. I'm thinking a map like Littletown will be good because it's not absolutely enormous, but it's a sizeable map that will challenge a seeker and also has a variety of parkour spots and actual hiding spots.
I think this should be done once a month if we were to do one of these, as this doesn't make it overdone, but it gets players hyped for a month for one specific day, all hoping to come out with an illustrious reward without everyone overdoing everything.
@FrankAL sorry for such a long post but there's all my thoughts

I've finally done it. I hit 2,000 hours (83d, 8h) on HnS.
I cannot explain how happy and grateful I am to have gotten to this point, so I wanted to do something pretty cool as a way of expressing my thanks to others who have helped me along the way. I've been thinking about what I could do for this, and I think a good way of saying thanks to this journey is to thank every single admin that I've ever worked next to. The staff team has been very supportive and has kept me on consistently. I cannot express how grateful I am to be a part of a consistently good staff team in a consistently good community.
If I forget anyone, just let me know. Here goes nothing...
@Zexired - The first manager I worked under and the guy who accepted me. Always so grateful to play with him and just a cool dude to be around. 💙
@mbs - That guy who knows WAY too much stuff for my brain to handle. Seriously though, I love that he's been around to help me consistently about my computer and he's one of the most knowledgeable admins I know. He seems to never get in drama and he's just a super cool dude in general. 💙
@KryptekBlu3 - One of the newer admins that I've been around, but he's a super cool dude who's always down to talk and have a good time. Always a pleasure to hear about his stories. 💙
@bnewton - A really funny, yet relaxed admin that I've always wanted to be more like. He always seems like he's just playing his game, and that's something that I've always found great about him. I've only seen him about 5 or 6 times in total, but every time I see him, I like being around him. 💙
@Jat - A very chill admin that seems to always be in control of things. Like Bnewton, I've only seen him 5-6 times maybe ever, but when I was applying, I saw him and was like, "Wow, I wanna be like him." 💙
@littleshake -
That Serbian that made the best quotes lolVery nice admin who wasn't afraid to talk about anything. Overall, good experiences with her. 💙@Impaled - Eerily chill and calm and one of the best people for solving conflicts, but it was sad when his power went out on Golf With Friends. 😢 💙
@FrankAL - A super savvy guy when it comes to politics. This man knows what's going on in the US. While we don't necessarily agree on everything politics wise, it's still super fun talking to him and debating controversial topics, plus he's a really chill senior who's always a good person to talk to when he gets on.
@PsquawOsaurus - I've only played with him ~2-3 times (as I remember) but he was a cool dude who is enjoyable to play with, plus he needs his Psquaw Powers again am I right? 🌍 💙
@Harakoni -
The guy who I argued with WAY too muchLiterally one of the funniest dudes I've ever met on HnS and always a blast to play with, I'm really sorry manager ended the way it did and I hope you can be more active in the future. 💙@Clufy - Super funny guy who'd always make good quotes with Harakoni and Fafy, always a blast to play with and I wish you came back. 😢 💙
@Fafy - One of my sponsors and one of the smartest guys I know on GFL. I could probably try coding for YEARS and not get to his level. Also a cool, calm, and collected dude in general, plus Argentina is pretty cool. He's accomplished so much and he's so knowledgeable about so many things. I can't wait to see just how many things he does in life. 😄 😄
@nelso531 - Really cool dude who sponsored me and who I worked with, I'm really sorry that things got so out of hand late. Seriously though, he's pretty cool
and has a very interesting story about his time. 💙@IDKEMBER -
Badmin lolI barely played with him as admin, but he was pretty cool and showed me many different spots and made a great first impression on life. 💙@Nix Pardus -
That guy that gave me a neutral😄 Super funny admin that made pretty cool insults and quotes. It's honestly hard to not like this guy even if he tries to annoy you, plus he came up with "WufWufWufWufWuf", which is pretty cool tbh.@Diablodoggy28 - A cool dude that sponsored me and that was always chill. Haven't played with him recently, but he was super nice and enjoyable to be around (Also if you see this tell Prodigy I said hi 😛) 💙
@Musical - The dude of so many voices who is constantly fun and helpful to others. He is super nice in game and in DM's to people, plus he has cool stories to tell us about and is always an entertainer. 💙
@TheRealViper3 - One of my closest friends ever on GFL and such a funny guy in general. He and I would race for time early on, get to know each other pretty well, and we did so many things together. He and I developed this bond that I only think I can say I've had with one other person ever on the server (they'll be mentioned later) so you know he really meant a lot. I really don't know where I'd be without him tbh, he really deserves more recognition that he gets. 💙
@Creepy Bronx - Cool dude who had a very unfortunate end to being admin, but we spent so much time together and I can say he's one of my good friends. I was so happy when he got accepted to the team even though he got mixed reviews, and he did a really good job. Honestly, this guy at 12 is probably more mature than me at 15. 💙
@Darkness Angel - One of the nicest people I think I've ever seen on GFL. I don't think I've ever heard a mean thing from this man's mouth. He helped me with so much, especially when I was a newer player. I just really look back in 2018 when we were both crazy active and think, "Wow, those were good times". 💙
@TacoGames - Here's the other dude who even comes in at Viper's level for me. I don't think I've ever heard a mean thing from his mouth. He is so nice to everyone on the server and was one of the coolest dudes I think I'll ever meet on GFL. This little fluffball and I did so much together, so much that we'd call each other just for fun and play games with each other, just showing how good our relationship was. I'd be dying to get him back on, honestly. 💙
@DragoonMCL -
Town of Salem boiWe've had so many good times together and we'd play Town of Salem so much togetherand be the most judgmental people😄, but he's a cool guy who I've found nice to hang out with and I'm really glad he applied. 💙@Clueless C. - He was a cool dude who always was nice to people on the server and was always a good person to talk to. I haven't played with him recently but I saw him as a trial and he seemed like a cool dude. 💙
@SS PigeonShit -
The only dude with as many different voices as MusicalA cool guy who was fun todestroy in Golf With Friendsplay with on HnS and seemed to always bring a lot of energy to the server and keep players on.@Booster -
Mbs' wifeA really cool and calm dude who gets on and is just there to have fun on HnS. Simple as that. I've always loved playing with him and I am so glad he reapplied along with Mbs. 💙@Rennadai -
Short bunnyA really funny person who I am super grateful to for stepping up to the task of being manager with a lot of work on her hands. She is always really nice to everyone and is a joy to play with in HnS. She also made Emo Wuffers, which made me turn something I grumped about into something that I think is a part of me. 😄 💙@Shabby -
C tierA really honest and fair guy who's fun to play with. He is a very neutral and objective guy, which is always nice and essential for a server admin. 💙@PopcornGoesPopping - One of the smartest guys politically that I'll ever meet. He is super nice and he respects others' opinions and differences. He also is very good about staying out of drama, and I think he's one of the more quiet admins but should really be more noticed. He's the type of guy I'd like to be friends with in real life if I want someone to talk about issues with. He takes being understanding to the next level. 💙
@spookyowo -
Toxic AussieA really funny guy on the server that is nice to be around and brings so much joy to the server. He makes great insults and is really a cool guy when you get to know him. He also is very open to you and he reminds you of those friends that insult you because they really like being with you. 💙@Jamie-Jay -
Literally the most innocent guy I've seen on the server.This man is WAY too nice to everyone on the server. I swear, you can try and get him banned and he'll still be nice to you. I've never heard a bad thing from this man's mouth to another player. I could try to be this nice for years and still fail. He was always a guy who'd go to you if you needed something and was just super fun to play with. 💙@Pyros - A guy with a very good-looking future as a DL. He is one to always listen to problems going on in HnS, no matter what happens. He helped me immensely when I had an extremely bad reaction once, along with Musical, and I still can't think him enough for it. I just can't wait to see what this man is able to do later on in GFL. 💙
To all of my other friends, regulars, supporters, and people who have contributed to HnS, I thank you as well. I would shout all of you out individually, but that would take me forever, so I'm shouting you all out here. I appreciate all of you! You all have kept me playing for over a year and without all of you, I would never have gotten to the point where I am. 💙💙💙💙💙
💙 I love you all, and I can't thank you all enough for bringing me here, my life wouldn't be the same without HnS 💙

Honestly I don't think we will ever go back to our "normal lives". Even when we get a vaccine for the virus, we will now have two viruses to deal with.
Kids don't think much of it since we've all had yearly influenza shots our whole lives. But the flu is actually a rather dangerous virus. You can catch the flu when you're 20 years old and reach a temperature of 102. Despite how strong your immune system is at that age, you can still get pretty sick if you catch it.
Covid-19 is even stronger. It has the capability of permanently damaging your lungs. It's all around a scarier virus. Even when we do find a vaccine, we are going to have to keep up with it like we do with the flu. Hygiene laws and regulations are going to be more strict. Hand washing is going to be a requirement in schools, restaurants, and stores... Overall our lives are going to change due to this virus. It's not gonna go away. This virus is here to stay.
Yeah, that's scary to think about but tbh I can see a possibility of that. That's gonna be a rough change and I wonder how society will deal with that.
Also, isn't COVID-19 a combination of multiple viruses already, one being the flu itself?
-
So I've been in quarantine for a while and I'm constantly thinking, "When will this go away and when can we go back to normal lives?"
My normal life was filled with activity like band and being on my school's tennis team, plus hanging around in school with my friends and the people that I liked to be around, but when quarantine hit, I'm now just doing online class and playing here, so I bring up this question because I want to know your experiences and when you think this time period will end.
Personally, I think quarantine will last me the whole summer since I live in North Carolina, a state with 10,000,000 people, but I want to know how/when you think COVID will resolve

No idea who you are so I'm just gonna let @FrankAL deal with this

Man, we’ve had so many good times together. I just want to say thank you for being super active who’s really fun to be around. You brought a lot of energy to the community and a lot of people will miss you. In the end, I just want you to do what you want and to be happy. If it means you going away, I’m fine with that. Also, thanks for letting me sponsor you, those were some good times.
Wishing you the best on life and other things, hit me up if you wanna talk

Gone too soon...
Just wanna say thanks for letting me train you and letting me have such a good time with you. Thanks for being a cool dude and asking me for help if you needed it. Thanks for being open with me and being a chill dude, so sad to see you go so early .😭
Good luck in other stuff, wishing you the best man.
Also, PLEASE KEEP YOUR LOVELY INNOCENCE

Before I reveal my opinions on this, I'm letting @Rennadai handle this out of her own request.
Now to the actual topic.
First off, you can be quite a handful, as you have 9 warns on the server and all of them have been recent. You've been banned for a week twice for harassment of other players, and the staff team has constantly complained about you.
Some of your more extreme incidents were you sending death threats to @spookyowo, one of our most active admins. I would normally consider this as a joke, but you've been really toxic to the point of staff discussing a pban for you for a while.
You've also tried to say you'll paypal staff to ban BadD, another player who is extremely active. I'd normally say this is a joke, but knowing your history with BadD and all the arguing that goes on between the two of you, I really don't know, which is a big concern for me.
It's really annoying when we've told you to stop being toxic and gave you multiple chances to stop before a pban occurred, yet this is precisely what happened. This shows a lack of maturity to me, and I almost feel as if you didn't understand the implications of your own actions.
I'd also like to point out that you already appealed once under the wrong format, and the appeals you made here are very bland. It feels to me that you're trying to agree with admins on a pgag or pmute just to get the upper hand on a pban, which is what we're dealing with here. If you want to appeal to get your comms back later if you get unbanned, I'm fine with that, but now isn't the time.
Now, with all due respect, I will present one good thing about you. You haven't ban evaded or done any dumb things to anyone THAT I KNOW OF as of right now, and I do appreciate that.
Based on how toxic and argumentative you've been to players and staff, I personally don't think you should be unbanned, but I'll leave Renn to it since she requested to deal with you herself.
-
Tbh I haven't seen anything bad from you so I wouldn't mind you getting ungagged, especially since this was in 2018 and the admin that gagged you (Psquaw) is not admin anymore.
Tagging @FrankAL so he knows to read this, he should be able to deal with this appeal

then why didnt you leave after you got banned, even though you waited 31 days would you play other gmod server?
Because I was in sixth grade at the time, I was dumb af
No, I played Town of Salem at that time before I got accepted, but I was gone already when I got unbanned, I was tired of waiting and it didn't mean much to me

Bit of a long story tbh, but here goes
Back in 2017, I decided to test a bunch of gamemodes on GMod because I just got the game. One of them was HnS, but I mained TTT on CG (before I knew it was toxic). Then, I was a detective and I got shot by someone, so I killed him, but a moderator shot me and I killed him and 2 of his friends, causing him to get salty and instantly ban me for 4 days. My appeal was handled poorly (took 31 days to even get a verdict with a few trolls here and there), but eventually I got unbanned, but I had had enough. About 10 months later, I came back and I was still getting autoslain so I could never play, so I decided, "I'm done with the server, let's see if other GMod servers are up."
In August 2018 (what I consider my starting point of HnS), I came on and was a noob, leech, tryhard, you name it, just not a rulebreaker and I eventually started staying on and getting to know more people. People like @TheRealViper3, @Losper906, @Tekashi, and @Mcflurry were some of my earliest friends and they kept me on the server. Then, I started to learn how to get better at the game while still playing casually and enjoying myself, so I decided to be more active in the community since it seemed friendly. I would end up meeting so many cool people here, and this is the story of where I am now
-
Sorry this all is happening man, we've had so many good moments as admins together.
Thank you for being active and a fun person to play with, really loved having you around, and I wish you well in life after HnS
