Comprehensible? Not particularly, though if you are genuinely saying that you use the peak of your capabilities as a 'Russel Group graduate' to converse with the majority of Outbreak then I'm surprised anyone, apart from maybe Wist, would be able to follow most of what you say. Appropriate in terms of certain words/phrases that are being used, that arguably wouldn't be suitable regardless of age but have recently been used out of hand to the point where certain individuals genuinely believe some people hold the views that they incite with their choice of words (even though said views would be very dated and hold no place in this community). A kid on the internet over the age of 10 will have been exposed to a fair amount, perhaps there would still be some conversations that might push the boundaries but it's very easy to pick certain times and company for that. The kind of thing I was more referring to is the kind of stuff that isn't really acceptable at all in Outbreak but for a time it has been let off loose when regarded in certain company/context as just pure humour - but when those companies/contexts seem to become irrelevant to the people spouting said 'humour' it stops making our TS a place to welcome people of any background, age, intelligence etc. There were plenty of people aged above 18 to mid 20s back in a time where our content was open to people of all ages and yet still was able to maintain a mature conversation, I see no reason why there can't be mature and playful discussion/vibes which don't take it to the excess that someone should blanket avoid TS due to 'innocence'. Just my chip on it, I don't disagree with what you are saying. I wouldn't want to censor or stop people saying their own thing for laughs - but when I read Mintlou's 'for your own safety' and actually kind of agreed when thinking about some contexts, it made me sad that it should even be a thing. The thing I loved about OB is that it didn't matter about all that other shamble, you had something in common so you could converse and get on with people who would be polar opposites IRL. I know this is just one case but I wouldn't want it to continue to a state where we start losing that.

Not sure if people should be warning him against coming on TS due to their content or get a reality check and mold their content based on who's around so that we welcome more people Either way, welcome to the forums Charlie. Skip out on the every word caps and the random boldness and then make yourself at home in our corner of the internet xo

Edit: Messaged Fluxy but for other's clarification too - dropping out of this due to family stuff meaning I'll be in and out at idk what times + I only have 1 deck tbh anyway, was competing for the memes. Will still be able to help out here and there.

So the first day of Outbreak Winter CS:GO Competitive is tonight, couple of updates and reminders. First match starts at 8PM...starts..which means you should be on, in your team's TS channel and ready by very latest 7.45PM. Also to anyone who doesn't realise (because some people are pretty dense), the second match will begin as soon as all of the first matches have finished. I will come speak to you tonight about results and what you should do during setup (to which you will all be expected to listen and do as told without pissing about xoxo). Also due to unforeseen personal circumstances, @Echo has had to drop out at last moment so will be replaced by @Pasickle. Good luck to all teams, let's make this a good weekend of OB CS.

Hey James, Despite some minor improvements in some areas, the staff team as a whole agreed that there is a long way to go before you are member material again. A lot of the time your positives often appear forced and people often find that you lie about things you have done to try make yourself look better, which just makes us less likely to see any genuine improvements. It has also been noted that you can often come across as toxic and been involved in a few incidents where your reproachful behaviour is linked to OB. Due to this, alongside your often immature, lack of sense nature, it makes it so we cannot give you a trial at this time. Sorry to disappoint, The OB Staff

Hey iZac, Congratulations, we've decided to put you on trial. There are a few things we would like to see you improve on both during your trial and continuing after your trial should you pass. We would like to see further integration on TS through means of conversation, rather than just the gathers and your own groups that you sit in so people can get to know you (you've had enough integration to get trial, we'd just like to see a bit more). It has also been noted at times that you can be provocative at times and this often leads to causing issues and hassle for staff to deal with (sometimes it's meant in joking nature but it is needless baiting/shit stirring nonetheless). If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to ask. Good luck, The OB Staff

Hey Jakob, You've had similar improvements mentioned to you over a couple of applications and conversations and there hasn't been any real improvements in the regards of integration and attempts to cut down on behaviour such as mic spamming etc. You also asked us to decline you as you realised this wasn't the right time, so we will be declining you. Sorry to disappoint, The OB Staff

top lad, in depth memer 7/8 reporting to say I liked this video

Just an update, due to their individual circumstances making them unavailable the following players have been replaced: @Simi #juandeag replaced by @Sovman @JamesG replaced by @Echo Although each of these individuals were only unavailable on the Saturday, that would be 2/5 games and ideally we'd like people to be able to play all of the games (at most missing out on 1). If anyone else suddenly finds out they aren't available then let us know as soon as possible - realistically you should be committed already by now but we really won't like it if we are pissed about.

The winner of the final day, day 24, is: Pepe Congratz @Pepe The Frog on your 500 credits! ✔ Thanks to all who entered on each day for the advent. I wish you all a Merry Christmas xoxoxoxoxoxo

To the person who I have - sorry bro I'm gonna make you wait until Christmas Day itself xo

Of course you highlight when I forget, fuck you Raw xoxo In my defence, I did the draw but forgot to post as was doing tourney stuff with Stiqqy and Lew. Day 21's Winner was: The Almighty Eagle Congratulations @The Almighty Eagle on your reserve slot! ✔

So the teams have been done and the schedule made for the tournament on the 6th to 8th.

You should check this thread for updates on the tournament and if you wish to discuss anything take it to the thread in the competitive section. For anyone who signed up and isn't part of a team, we apologise to those who didn't make it in. We had to limit the numbers and individuals who we either didn't know as well or felt wouldn't be as reliable (essentially newer, non-members) had to be dropped to make it work. All of those who signed up and aren't on are still down as reserves for us if you are willing. Apologies again for any disappointments due to this. If you have any questions please contact Lewis, myself or Stiqqy.

Putting it out there as Lew asked me to lock thread. Sign ups for this have now closed, teams and schedule will be posted either later today or tomorrow. If you realise you will not be able to make any of the dates previously stated once the schedules are posted, please message us and let us know as soon as you can so that we can change the teams again. Also want to note, despite exceptions being made in certain aspects as this event was/is 'unofficial' - punishments will be given the same, if not harsher, as they would for regular events if people make it hard work for those giving up time to run this.

Day 20's winner: Skill Congratz @Skill on your 200 credits! ✔

Day 19's winner: Pepe Gratz @Pepe The Frog on your 100 credits! ✔

The reserve slot was applied as you won it yesterday, so it's kind of already started its use (dunno how much you will use it but uh...yeah). Unlike your ESL prize, I like to get the advent prizes dished out as soon as I can lmao Also nah it didn't, if you miss out multiple tickets and then just open them up on a single day you'll still only be entered once on that day - it just means you missed out the opportunity on other days. In other words the one day you actually entered you just got lucky lul.

Day 18's winner: Veng3nce ✔ Gratz @Veng3nce on your reserve slot!

As Lew said, the lag was unexpected and kinda out of our control and it sucked that a chunk of the event was shadowed by that and made it drag out for a lot of you. I personally am disappointed that the event didn't meet my own expectations, especially coming off the back of two decent previous events. Hopefully we can do a similar style idea but make it work in the future on perhaps a better map without the 'Grinch ruining Christmas' models. Thanks for all who turned up and for sticking it through - Merry Christmas to you all and here's to a hopefully better 2017 OB.

What was that in the opening seconds @Shift? @Sir_Conor
