HAHAHA no hard feelings man
 

THEN SEEING THAT TEAMMATE GO LOOT AND LEAVE YOU ON THE FLOOR, YEAH REAL FUN @Storm

Hey Everyone,
As this festive time of the year comes around I want give everyone an update on Outbreak.
- Jailbreak Opening
As many of you have already noticed Jailbreak is currently open for everyone! It's still in a BETA state as there are still a few issues that are popping up but most of it is working and needs to be playtested by our community. If you have any questions, suggestions or requests. Please visit the Jailbreak Section on our forums and make a post there. 
- Mod Apps Open
I'm going to be opening Mod Apps of this December to see who gets involved in our latest refresh of the Jailbreak Server, So I'll be ideally looking for people who are committing a good amount of their time to JB. Those that are helping out with giving suggestions or that are trying to create a positive and fun environment on the server for everyone will be looked at positively.    
- Secret Santa
Secret Santa is still open visit here if you would like to get involved. It's a good way to show your community spirit during this festive season. I'll be drawing names on the 18th December so you have up until then to join. If you do get involved please make sure you read the thread thoroughly, Thanks!   
- Donation System 
I've lowered the prices of our monthly/tri-monthly packages down to £4.99 and £11.99 and VIP will be going on sale to £40 until the 25th of December. Hopefully, we get some festive feeling people to donating to the server over this Christmas period as donations help keep the community and our servers alive.
- Looking forward 
Current plans for the futures are to keep improving Jailbreak and its atmosphere so like to see as many boys in blue helping out with this January should be eventful as our Winter tournaments for both CSGO and League of Legends are planned for then. Anyway thanks to those who spent time reading time and everyone that tries to help out our community.   
All the best, 
Sir_Conor 

Y'all need this.

This thread is causing a discord between us! Can’t we all just get along?

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am proud to announce the official Grand opening of our latest CSGO Server..... 

I've been working on this server for quite a while now and though there were a few delays, it's
now finally at a stage where I want to get the opinions from the Community,
improve everything else through Community play-testing and get feedback.
This also let's all you lovely guys and gals provide any suggestions you have.
Its all about MG:
The server, at least at the start, is primarily going to be full of Multigames Maps
(My idea is to add single game mode maps later with a lower map time so it does not bore people)   At the start I'll be avoiding course maps as from OB's past experience it didn't go too well with our Community
(Though open to changes later on down the line)  
Store will have some additional items for players and donators alike
(I'd like to add more models however we currently don't have anyone that can do them) Credits Re-work - Minigames will be the trialled with some changes to the credits system. There are going to be two separate changes which I hope makes it a more enjoyable system. The amount of credits you earn is increasing to 20 credits for every 4 minutes
(Which works out to be  a x5 increase per minute) Price of most items will be increased by roughly double  
Auto Bhop will be enabled, I've had some play testing with some of the admin team so we'll see how it plays out.  A Statistics System much like surf (RIP surf) and I'm currently looking at getting a Web Interface for it.  
I'll be doing a Grand Opening event on Friday 12th of May where players can show who is the true MG Masters. Sign up here if you want to get involved in the opening event.
Also Congratulations to those who have understood some of my MG Music hints and
 the pixelated MG Map images.

 After the opening event which should start at 6pm and last till around 7:30-8pm,
the server will go down for about 5-10 minutes to record Stats for the event,
after which the Server will then be open to everyone! 
Hope to see you all in our new server soon.
Sir_Conor x
 

I like how mintlou writes out 3 long paragraphs trying to make a serious point. Then just throws it all away with some edgy memes at the end. 

Firstly, thank you @Jamie for your +reputation yesterday in my intro thread. I tried thanking you in the topic itself but my post kept disappearing and now the thread is locked?????
 
Secondly, today is the first day of a 3 day weekend. I am thankful of that.
 
Please use this thread to thank someone for a good thing they did, or to express what you are currently thankful for!

Pappa Wifeseen, got mod the same time Simi and I did, we went on dat journey together into the nursery that was Jailbreak <3 Simi is a shithead and i was the greatest mod ever to have taken up the heavy mantle but you were somewhere in the middle, not too shit, not E RAY GOD tier. Shall miss your authority when the OG channel descends into a soundboarding aids-fest and i hope we can continue all our usual banter with p2fiddys in gathers and losing tournaments lel. U da man, wifeseen <3
 
Also, Mintlou checking in on the mod team to see if there is space

 
 

+1, member material, good forum and server activity

love you really Unseen, sad to see you go

Because the great admin team didn't allow us to make comments, please do so here.
 
I personally feel that this brings Outbreak the most uncertainty of its five year period. I hope that the role is handed to someone competent and liked enough to fill the tough position. I'm worried. I don't see anyone as capable as he to take the position. (And can commit the time required).
I think that OB has to downsize or rapidly step up and see what can be done to keep us above water, because that news is a big hole in a ship that was reported sinking some time ago...
UnSeen you've been a really mature and talented Head Admin. You've shown us what good people are like. You've committed far too much of your good time to a community that probably doesn't deserve it. You've had to be the listener for so many people without the same treatment given to you. You deserve better than Outbreak, and we can only thank you for your continued perseverance to get stuff done for us ungrateful swines over the years. I know this isn't goodbye, but there does need to be some public appreciation for your seismic contribution to Outbreak. Well done!
 

What it says on the tin.
 
I wanna give Matthew big props for dealing with a varied community with a few problematic characters (at times these have even been the vets, hard to believe I know!) and a lot of politics and drama. He's dealt with endless crises and needless rows in his time, and he's always done it as diplomatically as he could. I know he's made some fairly tough decisions in his time re: punishments doled out (even I was punished once, again hard to believe!), but with Unseen you could guarantee that it was fair, and it was always for the benefit of the server and community overall.
 
I genuinely feel Unseen has always just wanted what's best for the community and all of its members, and he put shit loads of work in to improve it and resolve conflicts between members and groups, many of which were very petty, particularly given that a lot of them were perpetuated by 20+ year olds or kids at good universities who really ought to know better.
 
He was always the guy to go to if you were after a balanced and fair appraisal of a situation or drama. He's a smart and articulate chap too (give him a few years and I imagine he'll be eloquent rather than articulate), so he was able to give you the lowdown in a quick, digestible fashion.*
 
*excluding the odd admin waffle post. Every admin who's been good with language has done the same though.
 
I hope to to see more of you out in the feral backwaters beyond the glittering Small Council Chambers. Come visit the savages once in a while.
 
Lots of love unseen, and all the best of luck in your exams, though I doubt you'll need it. Let us know where you end up studying, and what you end up studying (if it's still English I'll love you all the more).
 
xoxoxo
 
Because I know this is OB's favourite film of 2K15, and it's fitting:
 
 
 
P.S I don't care if this counts as rimming out Unseen. He deserves this thread more than anyone imo
 
P.P.S traps aren't gay 

Unseen. Really sad your stepping down. You were someone that people found easy to trust and brought a huge amount of emotional depth to the approach of the admin team. It's amazing to think back to when you first joined, the shy guy who was really a bit of a cod fag deep down, progressing onto mod and then into the position you have just stepped down from. Your one of the core original group and someone who has always done your best for this community that I, and many others have found a place in, and I sincerely thank you for everything you have done. I can imagine Outbreak has not been the easiest vessel to help steer over the years, but as has been said previously, part of the ship part of the crew.
I know you stressed you weren't leaving really, but thought I'd still take my chance just to say thanks. You done a great job bro. Now you can relax and hit the sand!, I hear water is just right this time of year... 
 
 
P.s thanks again for dissertation help <3 

Hey
Many of you are aware of it already but this is the public post to make it official.
After taking a long time to come to this decision, I have decided to step down from Head-Admin and being part of staff. It took so long to finally decide as for a while I felt that I couldn't step down in a sense, but I feel like the timing is right and I didn't want to continue in a role which I was struggling to find the will to work in.
There are a multitude of reasons for it being now and people can feel free to message me if they want to talk further, but I'd rather talk about my time as staff rather than focusing on the leaving.
Outbreak has put countless obstacles, challenges and environments in my path for me to deal with and given me a depth of experience that not many people can say they've taken from an online role. From running events to dealing with people on a more personal level, I have been able to grasp an understanding of people from so many different backgrounds.
Unlike back when I was moderator on CSS, there was a level of emotion to it this time that I never had before and I can only say I'm grateful for being able to work on this community in that way. It might just be an online gaming community but it means a lot to me. Outbreak became something that putting time into was more valuable to me than a lot of things which other people might have thought should have taken priority, but I'm glad that it did.
One of my few regrets is that during my time we weren't able to establish expansion on a server level for a prolonged period of time. We grew as a core community and, in my opinion, became far more unified than we were before I entered the position but it appears the task of further game server expansion is on the shoulders of those who I will leave.
I'd like to thank everyone who has ever put or will put voluntary work into this community, as staff or otherwise. I will still be around as a member (though busy due to exams for the near future) and if I ever decide to return to staff I'll work my way up, the way any ex staff member should.
My only request is that as a community we try show our appreciation for those who put effort in a bit more. I'm aware many of you do appreciate people's efforts and you do mean well, but showing that bit of acknowledgement and perhaps turning the whining or picking into doing or constructing would go a long way towards progressing this community further.
For anyone who is confused: Kwaheri means Goodbye in Swahili.
Thank you Outbreak
Mathew

No problem.
As long as they act like actual human beings celebrating their normality during Gay Parades and not degenerate trash wearing the skimpiest thing wondering why people won't accept them and they get weird looks then its all gucci.
 
also, save the gays from middle-east and other horrific nations that won't accept them, fuck those cunts
 
 

We're all guilty of this at some point. 
The reasons I won't be buying it are inline with Lewis's points. It will be played to death for a few weeks and then die down. The game mode doesn't have the same level of complexity that CS:GO has, it's much more spontaneous and random. It has little replay value after 40 hours or so. People will get bored of the map, weapons and rules, and will only return briefly when the dev adds some DLC. They might even be scummy enough to include DLC in an early access title (ARK did this).
People are comparing this to already broken previous titles (H1Z1, Arma Mods etc). It will die like they did until some ex-DayZ dev wants to try this again.
It's fine, I won't talk about it again. I'm just marking this bit for future use.
