endure a short but severe humiliation in front of you family/friends.
I would take the flight, bearing in mind I've never actually been on a flight so it'd be new, whereas humiliation isn't new for anybody I'd imagine and it sucks.
Would you rather have the ability to have any of your minor small mistakes in life (spelling errors, slight miscalculations, missteps that resulted in a small trip) amended or able to correct one massively life impacting mistake?

Considering I made a post about ruining threads through irrelevant baits and shit talking just yesterday, let's just say that I'm not happy that pretty much every member of staff who can has had to hide numerous posts over the last few hours. It's honestly pathetic.
Some of you might find it funny and just see it as baits, some of you might just see it as retaliation and 'that person started it'. Quite frankly, I don't give a shit. If you want to have your baits or be flat out a twat towards someone, save it for yourself - the forum is not the place for it and this is far from the first time that this has been said. The forum is a public platform where, unless you literally sign what you are saying as bait/sarcasm (and even when you do that it doesn't excuse 95% of what gets said), people can interpret anything in any way.
Over the last couple of weeks or so this forum has enjoyed moderate life with a good balance of funny random shit and discussion, it doesn't need the shitfest that devolved over a few threads. So whether it be baits, insults, shit posts, just blatantly derailing thread inappropriately or anything that you know full well is just flat out not acceptable - it won't be tolerated any longer.
Older and newer players have been involved in this and you know full well who you are. Whether you dislike a group/individual or just get kicks out of it, it ruins the forums and creates petty drama for staff to deal with when they are already dealing with enough as it is (I've even seen individuals directly ignore staff when being asked to settle it down). So let's make it clear, anyone who continues this petty shit will be facing loss of membership/whatever groups they are in and will likely be facing bans/further restrictions - we don't have time to monitor the forums for toxic behaviour constantly and we shouldn't have to either.
The nature of this thread was more of a suggestion/instruction rather than needing open discussion, so I'm going to lock it to make my post a definitive warning. 'I didn't read your post' will not be tolerated as an excuse if you decide to ignore this warning and you get dealt with accordingly.
Let's not have it that I have to write stupid posts about such petty dumb things again, save your insulting humour/bullshit for more appropriate places.

9 hours ago, Sniffles said:Maybe you should stop staff from taking part since and instead advertise the advent calendar on the server
Tbf I do agree with the advertise part, getting it out there a bit more would be good.
Though I don't see why staff shouldn't be allowed the opportunity to take part in a free thing which gives little prizes? The only people who really should pass on prizes (and we have done that anyway) have been me and Conor, because we have everything. Credits, reserve slots and tidbits aren't given to all staff so I see no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to enter the draws.

It's once per day, if you missed a few days and decide to click on every day on the calendar you missed at once it'll still only count as one for that day.

Maybe more non-staff should sign up and get involved (it's free after all, even if you don't care for the prizes)

Brandon and Rachel summed up most of what to be said in regards to the server situation, and your behaviour completely warranted all of the punishments given.
You having a member of staff muted on a public server is your own fault if you are then found ignorant of that member of staff, regardless of your feelings towards that person. The fact you've even tried to use that as your excuse for being aids, especially as a member, is pathetic.
Whether it's an ongoing joke or some actual cult worship you've got going on, your repeated comments regarding staff/Mintlou and your general demeanour towards situations that are meant to actually be serious - such as unban requests or applications - makes it very hard for any one to take you seriously if you have an actual issue. The way you have handled yourself, including implying that certain staff are inadequate for dealing with you, has been dismal.
The reasons for the mute/gag itself were very petty but you turned it into something stupid. Consider this your warning to get your act together. Leading up to your membership you were able to have the same humour but without being consistently disruptive, don't let the positive side we saw when we gave you membership disappear now.
If you insist on pursuing this, take it to my private messages - though as I say, you've made it very hard to take you seriously at all.

As many of you will have read in the donation system post in the News & Updates section, we are running an advent calendar which will give random prizes to individuals on the run up to Christmas.
Essentially this post is both to act as a repeated explanation (as the system doesn't work perfectly to our ideal) and also will be the thread that I will post each days winner in.
To be eligible for prizes you have to be signed up on the donation page by logging in through steam - but also to be eligible for each days advent prize you must also log in each new day and click that day on the advent calendar to be entered into that day's draw.
Some of you might have noticed that the donation page previously said every single person who has logged in today has earned credits (most common prize), but that's not actually the intention or what has actually happened - that's just showing you've been entered into today's prize draw (we will be changing the title to make it less confusing). The entries for the draw will end at 8PM GMT each day and either myself, Conor or an admin will post that day's winner and their prize in this thread.
Other than that, it's now actually December so all you grinches (myself included a week or so back) can get into a bit more of the Christmas spirit

Hey Droopy,
Due to the nature of your application we're just going to make this an auto-decline now. You pop on TS every now and then in limited channels to play games and, although some individuals might know you, you haven't actually tried to be part of the community properly on that platform. Although integration is more key, your gameserver activity is non existent and your last post/visit on the forum was in July for your unban request. Despite your previous presence, you may as well be a new player to this community who is instantly making a member app. Work on getting better integrated on all our platforms and you will actually be considered on your next application. You may re-apply in 2 weeks.
Sorry to disappoint,
The OB Staff
December Update 2016
in News and Updates
Posted
Hey all
It's the festive time of the year and it's time for the monthly update.
- Donation System: I like to repeat myself
As mentioned in the last News & Update there have been significant changes to the way the donation system works and the various perks available. There has also been an ongoing advent during the Christmas month which you can sign up for each day by logging into the page and clicking on the advent day. We also have a raffle going on for the chance to win the 3 month package costing £1 per entry (package usually costs £15.99). For more information on the store see the post here.
- Secret Santa: Last chance to join in
Continuing the theme of Christmas spirited things within OB, the draws for our yearly Secret Santa are being drawn tomorrow. If you want to get involved then make sure to read up all of the details and find the sign up thread here. The more the merrier and it's a good way of getting into the Christmas spirit while showing your appreciation for others in this community.
- Landing Page: Gunstar's 'behind the scenes' work
The meme goes that the admins with 'no hours' are just using the excuse 'behind the scenes' work, but soon we hope to show you that it isn't just a meme. A post will come once everything is properly sorted to show it off properly, but this is to give you the heads up that the hours of work that Gunstar has been putting into the landing page and its features will hopefully be in use soon.
- New Moderators: Welcome
As many of you will have noticed, some new green names have popped up. We are happy to welcome the following individuals to the moderator team:
- Rory
- Pasickle
- giant_cheesepuff
To those who haven't been picked we would like to make it clear that it doesn't automatically mean you aren't good enough to become a moderator. The moderator applications are still going to be open for the time being and if you wish to know why you haven't been picked so far or how you could improve then please feel free to contact a senior member of staff. Congratulations once again to those three and good luck on their trials.
- Goodbye & Thank You
With new blood also comes a farewell for old blood. We've had three moderators step down from our ranks over the past few weeks. Although his time as a mod was brief, Sovman helped a lot in the development of surf and was an all round great character. Strogglok held his position for quite a period of time, put a lot of hours into moderating JB and helped run several events. Thanks to you both for your contribution to our community.
The third person I felt deserved a bit of a separate paragraph. Becoming a moderator way back in July 2015 (when the mod colour was still turquoise), this guy has stuck with us and taken on the responsibility of moderating for a heck of a long time. He always would put effort in and ensure he did his bit each week even if he wasn't feeling great about it or he felt less inspired to put in, because he felt an urge to do his bit for our community. When he first became a mod he was incredibly shy due to personal reasons and watching him develop over his time as part of the staff team, making leaps and bounds in confidence, has truly been a pleasure for me to witness. In my opinion he is one of the best moderators that OB has ever had and I will look forward to the day that he has more time and more inspired to become a part of the team again. Thank you Twiixtor for all the effort you have put in, both on the server and 'behind the scenes'.
That will conclude this monthly update. Thank you once again to everyone who puts effort into this community. We hope you all have a great festive period, a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
