    Remembrance silences are costing the British economy MILLIONS of pounds a year
    As austerity is in full swing, new ways of saving money have been brainstormed by the cabinet this week. Philip Hammond has predicted that each minute of silence costs the UK economy £6,600,000. (calculated using recent employment rate and average salary figures).
    Theresa May welcomes the idea, “Our nation has every other minute of the day to remember the fallen, why sacrifice a whole minute of the working day when we can contribute these savings to a stronger economy”
    “This is a major financial breakthrough for small business who simply cannot afford to pay Jeremy Corbyn’s proposed ten pound an hour salary”
    David Forsey – Sports Direct CEO says, “This is really brilliant, combined with our flexible zero-hour contracts, this will allow us to employ a new management team to ensure that people arrive on time to our facilities so that we can utilise every minute that WE pay for”
    The plans are set to be written into law later this year as a measure to improve the efficiency of our current workforce. 
    “I think that the changes will be welcomed positively by anyone who understands the volatility of our economic time” says Boris Johnson, adding that “Our patriotism as a nation should be loud and obtrusive rather than a deplorable silence”

    JamesG reacted to Sir_Conor in Hey Outbreak   
    Hey Everyone!
    I've wanted to make this post at the start of the month but I've recently been busy with work, my apprenticeship and learning to drive that I haven't had much time to do anything but enough about me. Outbreak's current future has been quite a hot topic and I wanted to give my thoughts on some of the subjects and hopefully get yours. 
    New Servers
    Every time a new game comes out or something in OB gets plenty of players are interested in. Technically the first thing I'll check is can I actually create a community server after that some of the biggest things I look for are:
    What will make it an OB server? When thinking about creating a new server I want it to be an OB server something special, to give it OB personality. How can OB make it fun and special to new and old players alike. 
    Players Does the server have a possibility of actually getting players? Is it popular in the community currently or is something we can get players over time.
    Members Can the players be turned into members. Is there a reason for new players to return to our server? Is there any benefits we can get Members without ruining anything for new players.
    Monetization Usually, this is just thinking about can the server be monetized to support OB. The OB coffers always need help and I want to be able to do special things for the community like tournaments that can back to people that may not play the main OB servers.
     
    There are many more reasons that I look at or for but these are some of the main ones. At least for CS Outbreak has never really had too many people that can either create plugins or want to put the effort into creating them so we've always relied upon our Outbreaks personality rather than being a server that has a lot of technical magic.
    Outbreak has only every been able to be the best with Jailbreak, added our own personality making it entertaining for players, giving them reasons to stay. Being able to get a player and convert players into members all while being able to fill the OB coffers. Minigames has always been number two to Jailbreak being super fun but never as successfully as Jailbreak but still being fun for a wider amount of OB members.
    We could create a few extra servers like a retake or KZ but I personally don't think that outbreaks personality can help these type of servers. I feel we'd be opening a server that so a few people can play for a really small amount of time before moving on to a well-established server that has been doing that type of server for a while. Do people go to these servers to have a conversation with people?
     
    Jailbreak Sendoff?
    I've been reading both sides of should we or should we not just get rid of Jailbreak. It's definitely in a bad place currently and has various problems that need to be addressed if we'd want to make a comeback of it, something I do 100% believe we can do it would just take time and effort from both our Administration team and our members to give to the OB personality. Outbreak Jailbreaks always seems to be in trends being one of the top CS JB servers to dying and then making a great comeback. Jailbreak is Outbreaks biggest money maker and I don't want to kill it off without some sort of plan to do something else where we can still be self-sufficient.
     
    Outbreak but no game servers?
    This is something that has been suggested to kill off our game server and just have a TS and website. Personality I don't want to go this route because I like having a direction, a server to put effort into. Even though its always a challenge with aids trolls, hackers, ddosing little nerds I still love meeting new players, new people, new personality's whether it's only one great person out of a 100 It's still worth it for me.
    With this in mind some of you have suggested downsizing getting rid of the dedi and just have individual servers for each server OB server we have (Website/TS/Gameserver) and we would cut our costs by around 50% while would be amazing BUT the fact I still get emails with "Detection of an attack on IP address" makes me really hesitant to doing this. One of the biggest killers to Outbreak has been DDossing as not only does it stop people from player our server but it seems to destroys the morale of the whole community (Definitely mine at least)
     
    The OB Summer Games
    This summer I'm hoping to get a few tournaments as they are always fun for everyone, I personally don't play or are even into rocket league or hearthstone but I'd still enjoy watching OB in a competitive scene. Currently, I want to do a Hearthstone, Rocket League, League of Legends and CSGO tournaments. If there is any more you'd like to see msg me.
     
    A Thank you
    Thanks for those who've spent time reading through this thread and I know a lot of people actually care about Outbreak in their own way. That love being here with their friends and although it corny as fuck... a our dysfunction family. I overall think we've improved so much from what we started as and I goal is to with your help to keep being better. I do believe that we all need to take a bit of time thinking about the way we do things and how they might come across, I know I'm guilty of making mistakes but let us try and be better in the way we do things.
    I do want to give a massive thank you to everyone that every given time to improve outbreak. Whether its just from being a great member representing Outbreak. Putting efforts into an event or getting new and old players alike playing new things. Or being part of the administration team trying to the Outbreak welcoming and friendly for everyone no matter what. 
     
    Okay that enough fucking writing for me all the best from me nerds

    Let me guess:
    1) Some influential figure finds this game and proceeds to have everybody else purchase it. No? - Proceed to 2
    2) This game is a highly anticipated new release, prompting everybody to purchase it. Yes? - Proceed to 3
    3) Everybody is putting in mad hours into this new game. Yes? - Proceed to 4
    4) Everybody playing this game has stopped playing CSGO, claiming this new game is 'so much better, and fuck that old CSGO game'. Yes? - Proceed to 5
    5) Within either 2 weeks / 30 hours of gameplay, the game will be untouched forever more by the majority of these players with the exception of 1 or 2 guys who can't let go. Probable? Proceed to conclusion
    Conclusion - I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. JUST A COMPLETELY UNEDUCATED HYPOTHESIS.

    I got angry at this, and then I remembered you've probably only heard what your parents say, or what you've heard in the Tory dominated media.
    If you want to hear the other side and have a broader knowledge base, then check out the below. If you still lean Tory/UKIP, that's cool, but don't do yourself over by only knowing half the story.

    Then spending it on travelling will make your 17 year old self much happier, I promise you. Don't waste money on cosmetic bullshit in a video game, no matter how much you like it. Take this advice from a 28 year old who wastes his money on superfluous shit on the regular.
