UnSeen

Hey Joey, Gratz, you've been put on a one week trial. We encourage activity on the server, TS and forums. It was noted that some of the traits mentioned in your previous application, such as coming across as loud or obnoxious, are still popping up every now and then (even if you don't mean to) - so work on that during the next week. Also just a reminder to make sure you check up on the forums for updates frequently (more post activity is also ideal, but checking for updates is minimum). Message an admin to be invited to the trial group. Good luck, The OB Staff

Cleaned up the thread a bit at Brandon's request because it is a serious thread (though Eraser's post had to stay because he is the best, obviously). I will say though thread will end up fairly similar in each list and the same people will get thrown up and down, becoming rather generic. I haven't played much recently but a list of people who I'd consider to be some of the top players at some point or the other in OB history (no particular order): Lewis Danny Simi Nick Jamie Sovman Stiqqy Thunder Mitch Brandon Another list to spice things up a bit (try not to get too spicy or twatty about it if anyone follows my trend xo), top boosted monkeys: Eraser (Boosted Fisherman #1) Liutvi (Boosted Fisherman #2) Unseen (Boosted Fisherman #3) Sovman (inconsistent monkey) Brandon (Yeah he makes both lists for when he was SMFC but like DMG skill lul) Extra list so Jak stops spam posting: Jak hehe xd

Hey Sniffles, Congratulations, you've been put on a one week trial. We encourage the usual activity on our platforms. We also picked up on the fact that you are often found sitting in secluded channels and sticking to your own group, although you said you were open to anyone asking to join it's not the same as you getting yourself better involved in other parts of the community - we expect to see you trying to get more involved and continuing your improved attitude throughout your trial. Message an admin to be invited to the trial group. Good luck, The OB Staff

Hey Fxden, Gratz, you've been put on a one week trial. We encourage the usual activity on our platforms. Message an admin to be invited to the trial group. Good luck, The OB Staff

Thanks @Sir_Conor

All these people in OB who are nearly dead wtf... Happy Birthday homie

Hey all Although we do updates addressing issues and announcements somewhat frequently, some of you had requested that the monthly updates become more consistent (as previously they were only posted when there was key things to be said) and include other varied content about the on goings in OB. This update will just cover a couple of the changes that have took place recently. I will be writing it in my usual format as it's about the content anyway, I'm too lazy to jazz up the colours and it's always good practice for writing my UCAS!!! (ty lewis xo) - Surf: Down The Gallows You will notice that the surf server tab is no longer at the top of the forum and most of you will know that it has been closed. Due to its lack of life and our want to focus on putting life back into JB before expanding once again, we decided to take it down. Whether surf will return or we'll try something else when it comes to it hasn't been decided and will be something we'll consider in time, but until we reach a point that we feel we can comfortably expand then it isn't something we'll address as what people enjoy changes. We wouldn't say Surf was a failure as it did have its moments and did well for a period of time, but the timing of a lot of its running was poorly coincided with other OB work, the lives of staff and the slight decline of JB. #RIPSurf2k16 - Jailbreak: Jazz Following on from Surf then, the main focus of OB at the moment is about putting life back into JB. Our community is a lot more than just JB as many of you know, hence why a lot of people are disinterested by the idea of playing the server - however it's where we bring in new people. Regardless of whether you are a 2k12er, 2k13er up to a 2k16er nearly all of us came through a gameserver that had that OB vibe and JB is our base format for that atmosphere. Bringing in new people is what it's about, we meet all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds and it's reeling them in to become a part of our group that makes us a community - more so than many other gaming groups. There has been a thread in the Outbreak Club (member/donator) section to discuss improvements and feel free to let any staff know or make a thread in the SnQ if you have anything. We're all here and we're a part of our corner, it's only right we all put our bit in as staff, ex-staff, members, regulars - already I have seen improvements and enjoyment on our server thanks to old faces popping up on JB so let's keep that going. - Membership: Expectations Continuing on about everyone doing their bit, just a small note about the standards we want from members. We have a lax nature in this community (generally) and, especially on TS, the jokes and attitude is mostly centered around the banter. However on JB it comes to our attention, and this isn't to pick at individuals as a lot of people do it casually, that members often are reproachful (essentially being twats with blue names xo) and although intended as 'banter' it can come across as toxic. Members used to be considered the role models for regulars, they often would be the ones explaining things, creating that OB atmosphere so that the mods could keep everything moderated without having to also answer a million questions. This isn't about censoring what you do, but just think about how it can come across when you say/type it. We also of course encourage activity from all of our members on all of our platforms, even if it's just popping in JB every now and then. Before the last couple of days, it was like 13 of the 60 odd non-staff OB members were also JB regulars - so you get the idea about how we need our members to also be that backbone for our server. - Mods: Applications Moving on from member expectations (these transitions though), we will be setting up open moderator applications. By this I mean the applications will be open for an extended period of time and won't be working in the conventional manner, simply that each admin meeting we have there's a chance we might pick up individuals or we might prolong it to the next meeting and not pick anyone. It essentially gives people a lot of time to show their commitment if they are genuinely interested in becoming a mod (hence people who have no hours could reasonably pick that up for an extended period of time and have a chance) as well as giving us as staff the freedom to pick people out and give them improvements over time. Regardless, as regulars and members there's still a lot you can contribute to our community so don't worry about this too much - it's just there. - Promotion: Stinking Bonghead This doesn't really follow on from the previous part as much as the others do, but you will have seen a new individual with a darker green name and S shield on TS. We're happy to congratulate Finnley on his promotion to Senior Moderator. He has been putting a lot of extra effort in on top of his regular moderating and we felt he had established himself well enough to take up the role, so best of luck to him in the new position. That's about it for this post, thanks for reading (if you even did or can) and there are no strings on me The OB Staff

Once again, sorry for the slow response. We've decided that your ban will stay. Permanent bans aren't given lightly, especially when they are due to behaviour in comparison to bans say for cheating etc. The sheer number of times you were warned and punished before the final time was just plain silly, and that sort of behaviour doesn't warrant a second chance to be part of our community. However we appreciate your honesty and your acknowledgement of your previous behaviour, and we wish you luck wherever else you may go. All the best, The OB Staff

The two weeks are up, and the following individuals have been purged from membership due to not attempting to get in contact with me through the forums, steam, TS or any other means. I would also like to note that individuals who end up on the purge list, speak to me and then disappear, only to end up on the list multiple times in a row will just end up not being given the chance (as it's just abusing the warning/chance you are given). Yoshi JME Evan If you are purged and wish to speak to me about it then feel free to message me - though the two weeks notice is there for a reason and you should be checking the forums fairly often (at least logging in and glancing over once a week bare minimum tbh) for updates. The OB Staff

Wasn't any rule changing, people just got stressed out and explained the rules incorrectly mid event; which they shouldn't have to answer to large groups of people harassing them about it when it's stressful enough to run the event l0l. To the event, very enjoyable. It had it's quirks being a HNS based event (as it always does) but the atmosphere made it so even then it was entertaining. First event that I've taken part in for a long time that I've thoroughly enjoyed and been more invested in the event playing than helping fix any issues. Also, I know it's a known fact anyway, but Chris must have some sort of divine gift for finding things to whine and complain about persistently even when they don't matter. Literally the definition of being a smart arse but not actually being smart Thanks to Pepe, Raw & Finnley

Nice clips as per, and I actually featured in this one lmao (didn't actually do anything, but I was present for Sovman getting blown up) Literally click on the title of the embedded video and it'll take you to the video on YT, which then in turn allows you to find his channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-A-YcWVWXVQ Ended up just browsing through your other vids again while procrastinating to the max - this video got so many views (showing title words matter, ie. FaZe) but also so many dislikes l0l One of the comments even calls you out for cheats, fucking ghost chilli fuck

No? Also, sign me up.

Sorry for the delay Gaben. When it comes to discussing permanent bans and any possibility of their removal we tend to take the time to make sure we get an opinion from anyone in the staff team who has one for the situation. Due to various people's busy schedules we haven't had the opportunity to properly meet and discuss your unban request. We will respond with the decision as soon as we can. The OB Staff

Banned both for 2 weeks due to their toxic attitude and behaviour. Thanks, The OB Staff

Congratz on being a 2k15er Rory! It is quite the honorary title! As a 2k15er you are blessed with being just as aids and cancerous as 2k12ers, 2k13ers and 2k14ers but it's just far less of a hassle to deal with you (unless you've been sneaky and hired 2k13er bodyguards from the OG channel you cheeky chap)!! You also have the potential of being recognised as a part of the 'vet crew' if you hang around long enough and mooch up to them nicely, the only real requirement is that you must base all of your respect towards individuals based upon the amount of time they've been here (even if they are a cunt!)!!! Unfortunately as a 2k15er you miss out on perks such as; being able to spam the forums and not actually contribute to fresh threads (while demanding rep?!), disrespecting anyone you please and insisting that the way the admin team handle things isn't right without actually explaining your reasoning or offering better solutions! To an extent you can get away with anything as long as you justify it with 'x is dead, I was just trying to create a bit of fun!' or 'OB shouldn't be a safe space' etc etc. Stick around and I'm sure the requirements will shift soon and you too can be part of the wonders of being older than a '2k15-er'

You have to climb a tree to be able to fucking reach Adie's fanny and even then you have to stuff a couple of branches in so she doesn't ask 'Is it in?'

One of the most pretentious, arrogant fucks in this community who masks his condescension towards others by using words with more syllables than they understand to maintain his inflated ego. He's considered one of the most intelligent people here and yet wastes himself away in a meaningless job which he spends most of his time complaining about. Spends his time at work complaining, taking fag breaks or bragging about how he won't make up for the work he missed out on doing by being late. The epitome of a middle class waste of space who uses his 'sense of humour' to be a twat.

As routine, this is the two week notice / heads up / heywutudoin before the following list of individuals will be removed from the member group if they don't get in contact with me about it to discuss it. As we did last time, we are fairly harsh on putting people on the list due to the advance notice that allows people to pick it up, explain themselves and whatnot without any real consequences. To make it clear, as was said in the membership requirements, members should be active on at least two platforms and checking the forum at least once a week-ish. Several people on this list are people who simply haven't been on the forum for like 2-3 months and have only popped up briefly on other platforms. If you are on this list, post here or message me to talk things over about why you should keep membership or acknowledging the reasons why you might lose it (assuming you know you can't pick it up again). Nicad Yoshi Vemix Hades JME Evan Toby Four20 There was something as well about a new member and chucking out the Expired Milk or something. Make sure if you are going away or if you are unable to be around for a period of time, let us know here. The OB Staff

Thanks to all who turned up and competed in this tournament, I hope you enjoyed competing and/or watching (even if some of you are LoL clueless and just meme'd twitch)! Despite a few delays due to individuals who were late/didn't show up/memes (check event cooldowns ahem) and a couple of stressy moments - the general feedback was that it ran fairly well and was actually closer than expected as a competitive tournament (although I'm sure some captains have a better idea of who was a better pick than others now lel). A massive thank you also to everyone who casted at some point during the tournament. I look forward to future tournaments on any game and respect anyone who contributes to running them. Ty once again - from Gunstar et moi xoxo

3 Korean teams in quarters, 1 in semis already, most people predicting 3 Korean teams in the semis - and they said the gap was closing lmfao H2K all the way tho, forgiven better keep trash talking up to Summoners Cup pls

Hey Sniffles, We will be declining you for now. As others have mentioned, you spent an extended period of time messing about and giving yourself the troll persona to the point that it became hard to take you seriously. It has made you seem very immature and given more of a negative impact on how people perceive you than any of the positives you had going for you. Show us more of your better, less immature side and interact more with people in the community positively and you can re-apply in 2 weeks time. Sorry to disappoint, The OB Staff

Hey Joey, We've decided to decline you this time round. Although we've seen some improvements since your last application, several of the staff feel you can still show sides of needless immaturity, loudness and obnoxiousness and can end up causing a hassle for them at the best of times. We also feel your TS presence as an individual is a bit up and down as, although you have integrated at points, you have disappeared from TS for periods of time - almost coming across as if you pop on purely for member rather than trying to get to know people. Make your integration and presence consistent, fine tune the little tidbits of your behaviour and you can re-apply in 2 weeks time. Sorry to disappoint, The OB Staff
