Announcements

I would like to thank everyone who donated in the month of February. Your donations made it possible for me to purchase (2) new dedicated server this month. One of the new dedicated server is dedicated to hosting Bad Company 2 coming out on the 2nd of March and the other dedi as you all know is hosting our GMOD, Reg, and Deathrun servers and still has room to grow. If we intend to keep all three of our Dedicated servers and keep all other hosting services we will have to keep our goal around $700.00 to $800.00 a month. If we fall short on our goal we will have to scale back again. Anyway the goal for March is set at $700.00 USD.

Thank you to all who donated on the list below. We appreciate your continued support!

Over the next few hours I will be changing the mod that functions to give all supporters and admins reserved slots. I have done some preliminary testing and I don't think any of you will see any difference. You will still connect to your reserved slot through IP but it will be managed differently which will make setting up new users much easier for us.

Let me know if you have any problems or your Reserved slot is not functioning.

Thanks,

Haggard

The Community Advisors have decided to promote these people to the Apprentice Program:

Hiphopoptomus
Gumpy
&
«SG.Sup»/dev/null

Defuse will be closed down to make room for our Escape Server move. You can look forward to a grand reopening in about a week or so under a new IP address on a new Dedicated Server. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused any of you.

We are updating the OS on our dedicated server that contains mini-games/prison break.

They will be back up soon.

when requesting awards for years with the community, it will now be done on forum join date.

The awards already given out will remain, and not be taken away.

Thanks Tink

Hey guys ^_^

Just wanted to tell everyone that im going to drop down as AO. I like the job and being able to help out when i can whereas when i was an LG, i couldn't do so as much; but i have to let it go for now.

I just work a lot of hours per week, and i feel this position requires a very active community member; more active than i have been in the recent month or so. When my hours change at my place of employment, i would gladly ask for the AO position again, but as of now, i don't feel like im making any kind of difference. :(

but this doesnt mean you can't ask me for help. if you need me and its in my power to assist you, whatever it is, then i will do what i can!

Our first batch of promotions consist of 2 new Administrative Officers, but 2 old time members. After going through some lengthy discussions we have finally decided on two great members of SG for this well deserved promotion. Congratulations to Crimson and mNote for earning the position of AO.

Crimson/Obez has been with the community for nearly 2 years. He's contributed in a great amount and has shown his loyalty to the community. As most of you know, Crimson has put in outstanding effort and has shown great dedication into his work as a CA. He has shown up for meetings, trained admins, and made fair decisions in the promotion of new admins. He has proven himself to be an example to all, not just as an adviser, but as a person in general. And this is exactly what the board is looking for to fill the position of AO.

For 3 long years, mNote has shown his commitment and faithfulness to SG long before SG was SG, and long before ZM was even ZM. He has done more than most can ever hope to top. He has given well-advised ideas for mods, scripts, and suggestions in the community, which has been a great asset to SG. He has participated in filling the servers, befriending players, and has a very diverse way in thinking and making decisions, which makes him definitely familiar around the community. His interests in obtaining knowledge for scripts and servers and the devotion in time he put in to this great community has made him an excellent choice for AO.

The list of duties for AOs include:

* Verify that servers are operational
* Reboot Dead/Lagged servers
* Manage Player complaints/bans
* Assist in training new admins
* Handle admin disputes
* Monitor the Ventrilo server
* Grant access rights to Ventrilo
* Search for new maps for all servers
* Upload maps to server and fast downloads site
* Edit map lists and rotations
* Issue player perma bans via request from SA's
* Teach admins how to demo/ban/screenshot proof



The Administrative Manager position was a position that was thought to be discontinued. However, we have found someone who is extremely worthy to have it brought back. Please join me in welcoming Highsky to the position of AM. Highsky has done an excellent job in undertaking the role of AO. He has dealt with player and admin complaints in a just and courteous manner. His way of engagement in problematic situations will be proven useful as an Administrative Manager.

Highsky will perform the following duties:

* Manage Administrative Officer duties
* Give monthly reviews to all current AO's
* Assist Board of Directors on who to promote
* Power to overturn AO decisions
* Recommend removal of AO's based on performance
* Train new Administrative Officers
* Assist AO's when problems arise
* Monitor support bucket to ensure quick resolutions
* Assist with AO duties when other are on vacation
* Issue player perma bans via request from SA's



Our next set of promotions consist of Community Advisers. We have look through the whole list of possible candidates and decided on these 6 loyal admins. Please congratulate Eldest, Elleon, Finzz, Gunner412, Maxwelldon, and Shadowex3.
All of the above have shown their time and support either from making countless number of banners for the community, being active on the servers, or being active on the forums.

The duties that these new Community Advisers will perform for us include:

* Advise the higher staff in important decision
* Keep servers clean from rule breakers
* Issue warnings/kicks/bans
* Manage the maps played
* Record demos proof for perm bans
* Request perm bans via the forum
* Post in game server problems on forum
* Help in any way to make the servers fun
* Training and Promoting Apprentice Admins
* Attend CA meetings


Our final promotion will be to a new Legend. The position of Legends goes to community members who have been with us for an extraordinary amount of time and for those who made an immeasurable impact on the community itself. Please welcome, Mikey into the group of Legends.

The duties that Legends will perform include:

* Look cool in their italic yellow font

That is all for this time around. Send out a thanks and congrats to these Steam Gamers.

And here is to another great term for SG!
SUPPORT THE MOTHERFUCKIN' COMMUNITY!

Hi Guys,

As you know an award system has recently been implemented by the Board. You can now request awards by clicking here and hitting the "Request Award" button alongside the award you feel you have deserved (as shown below).



Please explain why you think you deserve the award (as shown below).



Once you are done you will get the following message to let you know that it is being reviewed.



Also, as you can see some awards cannot be requested on purpose. These are special awards and are handed out by the BD's.

Note: Do not spam award requests with awards of which you know you don't deserve.
