With pepe posting something called For whom the bell tolls I couldn't help but think of anything else
 

DONT NEED TO ITS ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL NATURAL BABY

go back to curling your hair Britney

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.

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.
:)

been a while again but i love this song.
pepe will agree with me
 

guess ur not playing anymore l00l

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  
✔ = paid

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 Rahi!
 

Happy birthday @Gunstar  Have a great day mate, say hi to your mum for me xoxo

 

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

When. Can plan around that.
 
You've met "the one", and you will be with them for the rest of your life, but they're riddled with herpes and have an allergy to condoms. Would you rather get the herp or go without intercourse? (Asking for Rory because he's too nervous and needs advice)

There are times you can be manageable and I don't mind being in your company, other times you act as a complete detriment to the community and embody everything wrong with it  I personally have witnessed your complete inability to accept personal responsibility for your mistakes.  
I don't even think you play JailBreak, not that it makes that much difference but you don't really make meaningful contributions to the forums either, The fact that Mintlou is taking advantage of your naivety and turning your member application into some sort of joke is disgusting.
I want to see you in the community for longer and earn the trust of the people that you have pissed off, this might take a while but that is the price you have to pay for your behaviour since you have joined. 

HOLD THE FUCKIN ROLLERCOASTER FOR A SECOND.....

Congratz Brandon, you have worked at getting that rank more than most and you definitely deserve it, glad your hard work has finally paid off :).  You can now relax and play League of Legends with the rest of us and forget about that game :P.
