Hello chus and skill better than me? nt did you not see chus's disgusting gamesense

For every little rat in this thread who left me out of their top 5, this is a message to you.
When I get back, in approximately 72 hours. I'll be straight onto CS:GO. I'll occupy every fucking gather that happens - I'll always be there. Global gather or not.
Try and escape me into a low skilled gather? I'll follow your ass.
I'll personally make sure you're on the opposite team to me and will REPEATEDLY attack your bombsite OVER and OVER and OVER again until you legit cry IRL. 
 
bad decision idiots, hf.

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.

Hello my name is Revilia, i apply for moderator because i have gf.
 

Hello my name is Revilia, i apply for moderator because i have gf.
 

I do agree that this 2016 is a pile of shit, this one is super cringy, and shit music choice tbh. I don't think work by fifth harmony was the most iconic song of the year. Plus they put shitty trends on here like the bottle flip challenge which is worse compared to things like the ALS bucket challenge etc. 10% of these youtubers i do know, the rest i've never seen or heard in my life. All the petty drama with youtubers including FouseyTube, etc. has killed the platform a lot.
Best rewinds imo is 2013-15
 

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.

Sniffles you have been in OB for like, 2 hours and your not even member anymore. Your not allowed to take pot shots at the staff 

Why couldn't he wait till this started  then he could join friendly guy, knock, rumple and imoxus  

Thank you Rory for organising it and bringing the community together and also Rachel for moderating it for hours, u sure u dont have art homework due the next day? 
GG to everyone who participated. I love you too Liutvi 
 

mafia was lit (sorry for guys actually playing but watching this happen was hilarious)

Outbreak Donation System
As many of you will know, we swapped to a different donation system a short while back to allow us to more effectively work perks into the mix, keep better track of what's going on and overall have better control of how we want to implement new features. These changes meant the way purchases for perks were made were changed significantly, however there was only a brief explanation and little package choice when this was first introduced.
We have now added a few more packages, put up a couple of other features and sorted out the appropriate perks and prices. This post will go over the contents of our various packages as well as explain some of the other features available on our donation page.

● JB 1 Month Package
The standard package for the Jailbreak server. You will unlock all of the following features for 1 month; all available items in the Jailbreak store (apart from VIP exclusive ware), reserved slot for the server, donator group on the forums, donator TS icon and OB event priority. You will also get an invitation to and permanent membership of the OB donator steam group to recognise your contribution to our community. The 1 month package costs £5.99.
● JB 3 Month Package
This package is an extension of the previous package but will also give you a bonus free 7 days on top of the paid 3 month time period. You will unlock all of the same features as the 1 month package for 3 months at a price of £15.99.

● VIP Package
This is the biggest package available on our store. As well as unlocking all of the perks mentioned in the 1 month package on a permanent basis, the VIP package will also earn you exclusive items such as pets, name colours and player models. A personal server connect message and custom in-game tag will be available to you. You will be invited to the VIP steam group, be added to the VIP group on the forums and given a custom TS icon of your choice. VIPs will get first access to anything we are testing out and will gain perks on any server we have at one time. VIP costs £50.
 
● JB Reserve Slot
As we had in the past, we have re-added a popular option to just purchase a reserve slot. Once our server is back in top shape and we hit peak times, it is often in high demand making it very hard to join at times. You can get past this by having a reserve slot which costs £1 per month. Unlike the other packages, reserve slot purchases can be stacked if you wish to buy a reserved slot for an extended period of time in one go.

● Outbreak Tip Jar
Outbreak needs its donations to keep the community running. Sometimes people want to donate and show their appreciation but aren't particularly fussed about the perks and they don't want to be restricted to a price. This is there for anyone who is feeling generous and wants to help out by dropping any amount they want (minimum £1) into the jar.  

● Christmas Raffle
Our new system allows us to set up raffles on the page. Between now and Christmas you can enter for a chance of unlocking the 3 month package at a much cheaper price. It costs £1 per entry and you can enter up to 5 times. We hope to be able to use this feature for special occasions and perhaps more frequently with better prizes eventually if they turn out to be popular. 
  
● OB Advent Calendar
As of tomorrow for the next 24 days of Christmas advent there will be prizes gifted randomly to individuals through our calendar. The prizes will consist of a chance to win credits, reserved slots or a slim chance of other packages on some days. To have a chance of winning something from this advent calendar all you need to do is head over to our store page and sign up by signing in through steam on it. You need to log in each day to be entered for a chance to win that days advent prize! You don't need to purchase any packages or anything like that, once you sign in you'll be a recognised user and therefore be in a chance of getting a prize over the next 24 days.

Hopefully this clarifies our package system and starts to open up a few new features to test over the coming month. If you have any questions then make sure to contact an admin+ for any information or use the support ticket system if you have any queries. To access the donation page either use this link or click the donate tab at the top of the forum page.

Happy birthday ! Have a good one  

Unseen looking like the teacher everyone hates who is trying to impress the Headmaster by joining in the school's dance club. Couldn't cringe harder.
Plus it's christmas and we're only getting 1 forum emote? what is this?!?!!?

Also Thanks @Twiixtor for the Christmas Banner
Extras:
Hip Hop Shop Office Party  ....... That time of year is coming around again soo have fun
 

Just for you danny

Just for you danny

Incase you plebs cba to read. You can watch
 

it might just but me i want a rank requirement so that teams don't just get the uncarryable silver bot on their team which usually just makes it 4v5 in gathers, i would put it at mg1 maybe gn4, and i know its obvious but i would like it to be people who want to play this properly, maybe the organizers approve of people who sign up instead of just saying you've signed up like normal events.
I would like it to be the active csgo players to take part who plays csgo regularly etc plays mm/gathers preferably.  (looking at you league fags )
imo i agree with lewis that ranks should determine captains but also if needed organizers should input and switch players if a team is looking stacked or if people conflict each other.

Sick!!1! 

@Cereal Don't apologise for us. You really don't need to do that. 
Can we get an unban on FriendlyGuy, who legit was probably one of the nicest cheaters we ever had?
