UNLOCK:
It has been decided via a democratic vote linked to your forum account, that the future of Outbreak voice communication will exist on TeamSpeak 3. Thank you for taking the time to think about this and cast your vote. This has been a subject of long deliberation within the community among its members and guests who visit.
The other matter on which you may ponder, is how on God's great Christian earth did we get 60 votes? To provide an answer to that tantalising conundrum, I will tell you that most of the cast votes are, in fact, made up of inactive members; That is to say, members whom have rightfully earned their entitlement to vote on these important community decisions, thanks to their service of two or more years as once active representatives of Outbreak Community. We would like to take this opportunity to invite those inactive members back into the community to lend their high-standing representation back to Outbreak, in an attempt to attract future individuals to consult our forum and apply for the same positions. 
Going forward, Discord voice channels will be disabled. This will allow the platform to purely exist as a text chat alternative, kind of like a big WhatsApp group without having to give people your phone number.
TeamSpeak 3 will remain open, and I suspect will fill up again much like the good old days. There is a Music bot plugin that has been installed, and DJs will be appointed to keep it clean and functional. We are working on that bot right now. But it is in a working state.
 
See you on TeamSpeak. (Again, this will be revisited when TeamSpeak 5 finally launches) 
 

OK rather than having a domestic like deranged orphans that have been thrown out of THE DIRTY HACKER's hospice, why don't we all just have one big ol' community discussion on TS again and then play some games after that? 
Haven't talked to many of you for a while. Let's catch up. Admittedly I have not been a role model for turning up to events recently, which looks awful as I marketed myself as the enthusiastic man trying to save OB from capsize. It's been a weirdly busy patch for me at the moment, I think I'm now coming to the end of that - Last week I got hit with an out of hours job after work because the other guy in the office double booked himself (changed 2 UPS units for those that want the nitty gritty). Friday had me pinned for family meal, and yesterday I was invited to drink all day at a festival. 
For now I'm sat here with me new CPU ready to give it a burn in. So I can't wait to play worms with it. 

Game nights should be uniting people who don't normally play together to have a chat about how much our parents earn. 

Mafia

Mafia ?

that's what I brought up in the community meeting and if OB were to not be dying and were looking to expand, Discord is 100% the way to go, although it might take a bit to get used to, people will complain no matter what.
Only downside to Discord is it takes a bit more CPU usage, and some games might lag a bit, the voice chat is also not the most perfect thing in the world, but that's about it tbh, the pros HEAVILY out weigh the cons in this situation it's just up to people to open their eyes and see that.

Yes.

1. Mordau server is up and running very well.
2. Discord should be implemented and with the help of the Mordau server we should hopefully start brining in new members.
3. Also for me personally i would put up a 1 vs 1 server on Mordau because its abit more community based, people get time to chill and use the chatbox, because as most will know frontline is just complete action and no time to chat but dont close it as its another tool to advertise OB.
4. Events, keep them coming, they will keep people happy, but not sure if it will help bring people in, but will help keep new people here.
5. Merch, waste of time with current playerbase, no money in the pot to throw at it and not worth wasting money on it currently.

I like where we going, hope it continues.
 

Yes.

There has been discussion recently about the possibility of a CLWO vs OB CS:GO event - so I was wondering how many people would actually be willing to play in an event like this, and what sort of dates would be good/bad? It would likely be held on a single weekend.
 

Sorry @MiniColossus I'm not trying to argue with you and understand your point, this shouldn't be on the forums, but it always seems this is the only way we get information. 

We'll do another Summer league tourney probably around the same time as last year's one in the July/August when more people should be off.
If anyone has anymore suggestions for other event or game nights that they would like to do make sure you suggest them or if a your idea has been suggested but you'd be willing to help out hosting it, just repost it and let us know.
The first community choice event has been selected and will be announced soon, the top 2 choices will be done from the vote will be host throughout this month. As they wasn't as too many suggestions or vote we'll be doing this vote once a month for the next choice.

who plays World of shit, it's legit garbage af as soon as they increased the global CD of abilities, it's like i'm playing final fantasy a realm reborn but with less suguoii graphics.

I present... Outbreak's most populated server in the history of this community:

SteamID: STEAM_0:1:55321758

Roughly how long have you been playing our server(s)? 7 years i think? i joined in 2012-2013.
What qualities can you bring to Outbreak? i'm an easy going-guy, i will try my best to improve this content in the future i hope, all i can say is i'd love to share some laughs with people in TeamSpeak.
Tell us a little something about yourself: My real name is Ahmad, i'm working as a banker (For now), i love playing games, love smoking that dank kush kush, i'm thinking on moving to canada soon because my country is dog shit.
Is this your first post? i think i posted alot of nonsense before in my old times and i have done things rather annoying, i'm thinking now to use the forums wisely and not lose control thinking that forums are like DM's :).
Have you been around for less than 2 weeks (this includes Teamspeak and forums)? Nope. ?

i cant believe you just ruined it

A fair amount of change has taken place within the last few weeks, so it's time for an update on the state of affairs.
Outbreak Community Representative
Following the first community meeting, it was decided that a representative should be elected to improve communication between the staff team and members. We followed an instant-runoff vote format and I was elected as the rep (it should be noted that Akame was the actual winner of the poll, but he declined the offer so 2nd place was taken instead).
The full results can be found here:
 
There has also been some confusion over what this role entails, so for clarification, my main two responsibilities are (but not limited to):
• Relaying information on the state of development within the community
           -This includes updates on admin meetings, future development plans etc.
• Managing the monthly community meetings
 
Remember that these are not set in stone, so if anybody feels I could change what I am doing, please do make suggestions.
Role Changes
Congratulations to MiniColossus on his successful promotion to member and Akame for obtaining moderator, as well as Marsh, Toby, Lucy and Vodo Hazed for getting trial.
In addition, the veteran group on the forums has now been retired and replaced with 'Retired Member' - it is effectively the same, but slightly more lenient, available to 2 year old members or previous members who have been a longstanding part of the community. This allows for well known, previously active people to easily return to member once they have returned.
Forum Updates
There have been various small changes within the forums over the past few days:
Member of the Month
As many of you will have seen, there is now a 'member of the month' vote at the right of the home page.

This should be used to suggest a member that you think has contributed particularly well in the past month; the top votes will be considered by the staff and a member selected - keep in mind that obvious troll picks will just be discarded.
As of now, the perks of winning are purely cosmetic, appearing as a forum medal which can be displayed under your avatar:

But if there are any ideas for more substantial benefits, please make a suggestion.
 
Miscellaneous
All previous warning points have been cleared (unless recent or still relevant) as to remove trivial sanctions.
Calendar information now shows on the home page to notify you of upcoming events.
Trophies and medals have now been fully implemented, with 'Veteran' and 'Years of Service' badges to showcase your time in the community (and reveal the filthy 2k16ers). Years of service badges require 20+ pieces of forum content per year to count towards the total.
FiveM Server
Development is still in progress for the server, but there have been some issues implementing certain plugins - a more detailed post will be made about this within the next couple of weeks.
Events
A new event schedule will now be tested to try and encourage more frequent events, following a simple alternating pattern of community choice events and staff hosted events.
The community choice events will be based on a monthly poll to decide on a game, and we hope members will be willing to help with the hosting of these in the future. (Thanks to Danny for hosting the first Worms WMD event).
Staff events will be run entirely by the admin team and game choice will be chosen on our perogative.
 
Results for the first community choice can be found here:

Roughly how long have you been playing our server(s)? I've been on the teamspeak / forums since September 2016 I didn't really get to enjoy Jailbreak in it's prime but was recommended here by Flash
What qualities can you bring to Outbreak? I don't really know how to answer this question as I've been here for a while and had some good times with a lot of people in outbreak but in future im hoping I can bring suggestions towards the community and how to make it progress!
Tell us a little something about yourself: I was working for the past 3 years however I am currently taking a break from working and enjoying life a little bit more.
Is this your first post? I try to post frequently on the forums but I don't get involved in posts that I don't seem relevant.
Have you been around for less than 2 weeks (this includes Teamspeak and forums)? Nope ?

That's an event ban right there missy
