lol nt my internet is flawless

thats a very short and narrow view on cryptos, they might raise pc hardware prices in the short term but cryptos can do so much good for the gaming community
 
Technology behind cryptos can make sure that no government can interfere with our internet (eg getting rid of net neutrality) through a decentralized internet,
it can give us a decentralized version of steam that will decrease game prices and increase the money earned by game developers by getting rid of the middle man,
it can help get rid of ISP's, decreasing internet prices by once again getting rid of the middle man.
There are so many use cases of blockchain technology and cryptos out there that will benefit the gaming community greatly, I'll happily pay a bit more for gpu's in the short term...

So as we all know, gathers are getting increasingly worse and worse - ranging from people fake afking because they don't want to be captain, to negev rushing through molotovs because people simply don't care. I know I don't stand alone when I say that these gathers are not enjoyable. We want to see people trying again so myself, Extinct and Danny have thought of this new system: The Outbreak FaceIT Hub.
What is it?
You will obviously need a FaceIT account and the FaceIT anti-cheat located here. If you are interested you are given an invite link to become a part of the hub. From there, you can gather 10 people and queue up for a game. If you win, you gain 3 points which tally up towards your total at the end of the month. No prizes for individual performances, just winning. The top 1 player (for now as we test things) with the most points will be awarded with a decent skin. Prizes will be better as time goes on and more people are interested, both inside and outside of the community.
People need incentive to try hard and we believe this is the solution. Popflash will become a thing of the past.
We got 10 people and queue has popped, what happens now?
Two captains are automatically selected by the system. It's not random, it will choose 2 of the better players that have been flagged as a captain by a group admin. Captain 1 gets 1 pick, Captain 2 gets 2 picks, Captain 1 gets 2 picks etc etc. This is the fairest way possible to ensure that each game is balanced. After teams are picked, active duty pool maps are then veto'd by the captains as per usual. 
ONCE YOU QUEUE FOR A GAME, YOU ARE COMMITTED. This is to ensure that each game starts fast and smoothly. We have selected these timeouts:
Captain didn't pick players: 1 hour HUB ban
Didn't connect: 1 hour HUB ban 
Leaver: 2 hours HUB ban
Trolling/Moaning/Giving up: A long length HUB ban, depending on the severity.
All pre-existing gather rules still apply. They are located in the gather ts channel's descriptions.
I'm excited to see how this will work out and hopefully along the line we can recruit other people outside of the community to be a part of the gather hub and get them integrated on TS. Contact Extinct, Danny or Jamie for an invite to the hub. Anyone can join with the only rule being that you actually play and enjoy competitive CS but please bare in mind this will be a 'try hard' environment so be ready for some competition!
 
If anyone has any questions please ask away.

Yes weed isn't good for you but saying it's as harmful as you made it out to be just goes a bit too far imo.
If you use it in moderation (i.e. in the evening when you just want to chill and watch a movie) and don't become a wake and bake person, there's no real "harm" that it causes. This is especially true when you compare it to other legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco, which have a much worse impact on your physical health. 
Your personal opinion of weed has clearly been influenced by some bad experiences, which as you stated consisted of heavy use. I have personally been through stages where I smoked quite a lot, and yes I did feel it had a harmful impact on my life. Since then I smoke only in the evening when I got all of my tasks for the day done and I don't need to be productive anymore. 
You have to look at the problem of legalisation objectively. Do the harms of legalisation outweigh the benefits? 
I don't want to make this post too long so I won't list all my arguments, but I want to leave you with this:
I believe all drugs no mater how harmful to ones person should be legalised.
If someone in the UK wants to buy heroine, cocaine, fentanyl, etc. they can. Drugs are now more accessible and cheaper than they have ever been. The war on drug has failed and any money and time spent towards has been and will continue to be a huge waste of resources. If there's demand for something there will be supply, that is just simple economics. Governments around the world continue to tackle the problem by restricting supply, but that strategy has failed and instead I think we should focus on tackling the demand side instead. Therefore, I believe we should legalise and regulate all drugs. This would ensure that all drugs are not laced with something else as most drug deaths are caused by the drug dealers lacing drugs with harmful substance or users not knowing how to be safe while taking these subsatnces. The tax money can also be used to inform and help those addicted to the substances. This has been shown to drive down drug use significantly (i.e. anti-tobacco campaign in the U.S.) .
I know what your argument will be 'legalisation will increase the use of drugs', but evidence actually suggests otherwise. Not only will children have a harder time obtaining drugs, cannabis legalisation in Colorado has actually lead to a decrease in cannabis smokers (Source).
 
Tl;dr - prohibition doesn't work, only solution is legalisation of all drugs with a strong information and support campaign

Roughly how long have you been playing our server(s)?
About a year
What qualities can you bring to Outbreak?
I consider myself a fairly chilled individual (if a bit competitive at times) who looks out for others and can have a good laugh. I (usually) try to make my forum posts constructive and useful and I have an edgy voice.
Tell us a little something about yourself:
I am currently in my final year of GCSEs and will hopefully be doing A level Music, Music Tech and Maths when I leave school. I don't eat breakfast, I shower in the morning and the first game I ever played was Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec on the PS2.
Is this your first post?
