changing my name to Brand0n

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

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

Here are the stats, dont a bit more than last time, particularly around the team-based statistics. Left out F.E.D as it takes ages to calculate for not much to show. Also left out HLTV and instead put in K.D as it's probably more understandable for most of you. HLTV is largely a reflection of K.D anyway.

As always, let me know if you notice anything wrong. Thanks all for participating, looking forward to the big boy summer one which will be streamed. Enjoy le numbers.

With the introduction thread and first reputations one it would be put into a newbie(think steam badge for community award?)
Overall some of these are good, the biggest promble with these awards ATM is that I want them at a high quality which takes time to do each badge so if anyone wants to try and help out message me

Monthly Awards
-These could be removed after a month from the persons profile, or stay with a date reminder - e.g June 2016. Depends how clustered you think it'd get. If you only decided to institute one of the below, it'd only be 12 awards a year, ideally spread out over several people. If you didn't want to keep these awards visible each year they could either be removed from immediate visibility and placed on the players profile - possible? Or change them to a half yearly thing.
Member of the month - Speaks for itself Moderator of the month - " " Forumer of the month - Hopefully would encourage enlightening threads and increased activity. Could be due to a popular thread, a good suggestion or just purely a mad amount of helpful forum activity. Prison Breaker of the month - Doesn't have to be most hours, can be taken many ways. A new member fitting in, exceptional rebelling, good mod decisions, helping new players, innovative wardening. Newbie of the month - Something for new players to strive for once entering the community, or after acceptance to membership.   
Unspecific Awards Subject to Opinion
Lifetime Service - Given to recognise long term commitment to the community. Event Exceptionale v1 - An award to recognise event hosting contribution. Certain amount of events hosted, or other determinants.  Event Exceptionale v2 - An award to recognise an individuals commitment to events. May have attended 10+ in a row, may be recognised by admins as always on time, always following commands, helping things consistently run smoothly over multiple events. Event of the year - Individual was part of a team who hosted the community-chosen event of the year Moderator of the year - Conor+Unseen short list to 3 people they think deserve the title. Community then votes for their preference. Initial phase allows for the legitimate candidates to have their deserved chance, not just the older, more community-popular ones. Best CS Frag movie of the year - We get a lot of these posted, perhaps another community vote after shortlisted by a non-biased, experienced bunch for the best youtube movie made by a community member.  
Other Awards
1 Year Membership - For 365 days of consistent membership, without dissenting into regular status. Could possibly do for 2-3 years.  1 Year Moderatorship - Same concept as above Donning Donator - Indicates a user who has donated a certain amount you deem worthy of recognition. Perhaps beyond the VIP usergroup quantity, as that already exists. Also easier to see as an immediate badge. Jailbreak King - An award for the most hours spent on Jailbreak over a (3 month OR 6 month OR 1 year period) 5+ 10+ 15+ Events Won - Up to you how far back you'd want to go to start counting winners, and would obviously continue, would be willing to help here. No sleep - Award given to the user who's spent the most minutes in a day on jailbreak. Easily done by gametracker, but maybe you can't distinguish between the idlespec hours and the actual active hours :/ I Gather I - Award given to the user with the most OB gathers on popflash in the last 31 days. Award doesn't change each month, stays until record is broken. Oldest Member - Individual is the oldest member in the community (age wise - not time spent in the community) Individual Event Winner - When an event is purely an individual one, that gets recognised as a badge. 'Individual won April 2018 Deathrun'. No recognition for team events, but they can contribute to the number of events won badge.

He is a great guy who is easy to talk to. He has good activity and integration on all platforms.
+1 he already proved he good be a great member so why not

Hola mis amigos
Been a while since the last update due to the busy and quiet nature meaning there wasn't much to post about last month, but hopefully things now are being kicked back into gear and the updates will keep coming.
 
- New Staff
First off we'd like to welcome the following individuals to the moderator team:
- Fxden
- Cereal
- Quake
- Twiixtor
Congratulations to the three new bloods and welcome back to Twiixtor. Moderator apps will be closing soon.
 
- Adios
Continuing on from last update, we had a few more people stepping away from staff ranks. So to the following individuals:
- Substick
- Pepe
- Brandon
- Daffy
- Weezy
- Rory
- Pasickle
We'd like to say a massive thank you all for the time you put into the community. Most of you are still present in our community and will continue to help out where you can we're sure, but taking on the responsibility as part of staff often puts you in a spot with others that isn't always easy to deal with. Although keeping the staff fresh and active is important, having individuals who have been in a similar role in the past as part of our core memberbase can only continue to make our core community stronger. There would be more I would like to say about each person individually but I hope I was able to bring that appreciation across to them directly at the time, so this is to just provide some recognition for them all.
 
- ESL Outbreak Spring Tournament
We have the next Outbreak CSGO tournament coming up during the Easter holidays. The post will be up sometime in the next few days so make sure to look out for it if you want to get in on OB's seasonal competitive action. We intend for this to take a similar style to the most recent Winter tournament.
 
- Awards
As mentioned in the last update, awards are on their way. There will be a variety of awards to recognise a wide range of achievements. For the time being the main awards being awarded for you to see are victory trophies for victors of Outbreak's tournaments, however we have many more to come and are open to reasonable suggestions for future awards.
Below are screenshots of Rachel's awards to provide an example:
 
If you have any questions about anything, make sure to ask. I'm sure there'll be more to come in coming updates, among the busy times

Sat in my room on my PC talking to a bunch of cunts every night for the past year instead of studying and going out with mates.

Had a little chat with her, wasn't very nice as I was refereed to as a fuckboy...

Canals is a BAD joke, it does not belong in cs
the only good thing it brought was some epic quotes from our local gold novas (ty Nuclear)
