Thanks again for your opinion on things Rob, we do they best we can for the clan every day, but we never hear anything good when we do good things, but just like the media, when something goes bad boy it makes headlines and everyone tried to get everyone going about it. If people actually made headlines about the good things we do here then maybe there would be a better mood about the clan. If people keep dragging down the clan every chance they get well who would wanna play here, and people who keep bringing stuff up for years ago, let's try to move on and get in game and see how things are now instead of living in the past. Bring some joy to the servers and not drama Admins are doing our best to make this place a great place for our members.

So yet again, despite promises we let a player caught cheating play on, the last couple took two years to kick, and did they stop cheating after their first warnings, let me see no they didn't, surprise eh? Now what you do is up to you, but let us look at some consequences of your (poor) decision making :- 1/. Yet again someone gets some evidence only to have it overturned, happens time and time again, so are they going to bother their arse in the future?, you bet they're fucking not. 2/. Honest ordinary members now have to play on their own so called servers with someone they know for certain is a cheat, what a ludicrous state of affairs. 3/. May I remind the management that recently they said they would be taking action on things like this, only for us to see nothing changing at all. 4/. I know this fckr will not stop, he'll give it a few months then be back to normal, he was suspicious on ftag, time will tell, but I know that I'll not be playing with him on our servers, and if the rest of you had any morals neither should you. I was just going to hand my tags in, almost useless anyway, but those who know me know I don't give in without a fight, so do something for me, if you agree with me that you are sick of seeing known cheaters play put a like at the end of this. Thanks Rob

Rob, I've been around since 2009 or so, and I've seen a lot of drama come & go. Several admins have tossed their tags over issues, then got them back after reflection. A lot questionable people were made admins, showed their true colors, and got pitched out the door. Took time, with a lot of eye-rolling by bystanders, but things got done. I have to say, Rugger does an amazing job keeping this anthill swept up and cohesive, because nobody else would put up with half the nonsense he does. Remember, this is supposed to be fun. Getting your knickers in a twist isn't fun, and not why you play the game.

One thing to keep in mind, for this place, is that there is a difference between different levels of cheating.... which happens a lot here and to a degree tolerated... vs outright glitching. Which is what happened in this case. As for admin processes, decisions and such, well I really cant offer much of an opinion. But I do agree Rugger is putting an inordinate amount of time trying to perform the role of the adult playground monitor among a large number of unruly kids in the hopes of making sure they play nice with one another. Or at least as nice as possible since these days you cant give unruly kids a spanking.

OK all definitely the last one I hope I have a problem, a problem I have had my entire lifetime, and that is principles, they have cost me dear (and even jobs) at times. One of these is 'That cheats should not prosper', I'm afraid I see this happening right in front of my eyes, and being me I will not ignore it. It is all too easy to ignore things like this and take the easy way out, and I do see this, but it is not for me I'm afraid. You have all seen me argue many times over the years about these principles, I can be a pure cunt, and ruthless at times, but if I think it's right I'll defend it. Now Rugger and the team do a magnificent job and have the patience of saints, however you remember as well as I do the update to members about taking more actions about cheaters and hackers. Then what do I see ? well I see what I put in the first post, to say I'm extremely disappointed is an understatement. Beer is right 'it's supposed to be fun' encouraging these fckrs is not right and takes the fun away, and if you want proof look at how many are playing at the moment. Normally I would have been playing for 3 hours, now no one on until late afternoon.

Rob, I appreciate your opinion but there are further items to consider. 1) He ostensibly fell into a spot and made a bad decision, there was no actual evidence of him killing folks from a glitch but he still manned up and admitted it. 2) There are likely not any rampant cheats on the servers, you know better. 3) I don't know who management is but if you haven't seen any changes you haven't been watching. 4) The player you seem to be referring to has had his last warning if there is an issue it will be dealt with accordingly. No issues with what you want to do or say, but manage your own expectations. -YACC

For reference.. The actual area is referred to as lake barkley... It's part of the Tennessee and ky rivers... And a area of land called the land between the lakes.. Lbl.. You can look up the area and see what is offered.... It's west rural ky.. Interstate near would i 24...any questions I can answer please let me or GG know.. It's my backyard..

But, c0ntrails. I know I wouldn't want to be an admin & have to babysit those that bring their misery to the servers. Now, I know I whine...get on my own nerves at times; but there are some pissy miserable little bitches that use the forums & the server as a platform to vent their unhappiness... get a shrink; I did, years ago. Cryin' li'l bitches. Imagine having to live in that headspace 24/7; especially when personal agency allows otherwise. So to recap: Cryin li'l bitches. Have a great day.

You can get a free BF-1 key if you are a Amazon Prime member... How to get the key Just the basic game and only until August 4.

Like you Rob I always stand on principle. Back in the day when I was a senior admin I left that position because of it and that's OK. The toughest thing about being an admin is sucking it up when you disagree but you know, we're all human and they're going to get it wrong sometimes. But most of the time they get it right and over the long term, it all works out. It always has. Your complaint has been well heard and thanks for doing that. I don't have the slightest idea who this character is and don't care but if he's a cheat I have no doubt that at some point, he'll be gone. Meantime, suck it up. Like me, you're a good clan member and a nice guy and there's not a lot of us left among these Idiots.

There's so many solid answers to that question; we'll stick with 'my own'; they paid me to stay home & play with my balls. It helps productivity.

There's a lot that goes on behind closed doors, Rob. There are things happening that even us normal admins know of or even head admins. We work tirelessly to make the servers what they are and there's a large team in place for each game for that reason. Just because something isn't acted upon immediately doesn't mean that it's not being worked on. I recently just a bunch of Quality of Life fixes to the CoD2 TDM server that have been on the backburner for a long time, and all I got was good feedback from it (after months of some players bitching). I am certain you have seen countless ban appeals on the forums and a lot of them refused and the ones that are successful really comes down to the discretion of the banning admin. This isn't aimed at you but the community as a whole: -------------------------------------------- Just because the player is good does not make them a hacker or a cheater. One thing that annoys me in the MW2 FT server is the constant accusations, the crying and the bitching players make against their own clanmates and regulars. I get it, someone is better than me (like most people ) but I am not doing myself or anyone else favours for accusing others without prior evidence given to an admin. If you suspect something, gather as much SOLID evidence that you can and come forward to an admin. There are cases an admin may not be online and sometimes there will be times where a member will have to record such players for us and come let us know and we will look into it. We cannot go by word of mouth alone. We need evidence to make an informed decision. I agree with @Ruggerxi Seeing negative things about the servers and the games does affect the mood of the whole place. I would like to see some people come up and say "hey, thanks for all the hardwork and the servers, I really like [this] and [this]." Positive feedback can go a long way. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as an admin because I enjoy hearing the positive feedback I get from my fellow admins and the players on the servers. These servers are yours as much as anyone elses and it does dishearten me when all I see is the >XI< name smeared on its own forums. A lot of people like to hop on the bandwagon and are very quick to make assumptions and post but as a tip, give yourself some time to think about the posts before you make them. We come into these servers to have fun and get away from everything.

Rob also need to fire up the BBQ for the season, take a brake for a little time man. Peace

Thanks for your thoughts members and remember that their are processes in place now that they have to follow. The purpose of those was because of how large of a family we have become. When I started as an admin it was just cod 2. As the cod family of games grew the admins were over multiple cod games then a change was made that they were to be over the game they played most of the time. The many changes have been made to better serve all aspects as we continue to grow as a clan. We may not get every problem fixed right away but they do work hard to make sure when they fix it that it is done right. The admins do a great job and the players of the true >XI< always stand for what is right and just. Thank you rob for stating your concerns and please play on.

I've seen it done before as well. Damn I can't remember the guys name either. Started with a G though. Repeat offender of glitches. Says one thing to offend an admin abs then all the sudden gone.

Well I don't want to drop my tags, but I also feel strongly that as a clan member it is rubbing our noses in it being forced to play with cheaters, I'll not say any more I'll see how the other members feel.

OK ... Krunch and Marshal do make some valid statements here and there when they provide valid, reputable info and links. As pointed out, the guy who said that the Earth was round suffered some criticism at first. Science and technology proved him right. I'm not a vaxxer and do not plan to be. I won't allow some rushed "vaccine" to be injected into my body. It has already been proven to be fairly ineffective against newer strains of COVID. Plus I'm deathly afraid of needles. So, there's that. I'm in no way NEAR being a conspiracy theorist nor an antigovernment personality. However, I do believe that the United States is in a state of crisis ... politically, medically and militarily. Thank your local BLM, ANTIFA and corrupt political organizations for that.

Hisense Chest Freezer, 7 cu ft for only $150! Now I can prepare essential meal components for rapid utilization. The two liter is one of a few containers I fill with water & freeze, then place into my fridge to keep the temperature super cool & stable. Great idea for when the power goes out, too.

We were looking at Branson, MO in 2020, then COVID came along. When searching for houses for 2021, it's been difficult finding ones that don't cost a fortune now. Most "larger" city areas are very expensive currently, with most having a very strict refund policy. Given the late timing in the year already, mixed with these other issues, a house on a lake with the ability to rent boats was the criteria we used to search. Next year, if all goes well, we'll be able to plan a full-blown "normal" XI Fest once again.

If I'm back in the US by then, I'll be there.

Damn I wish I could go... I wanna sip on bourbon and get shitfaced with @ANGU5 in his backyard!

Love to attend however, gonna take us 6 months to sail over lol

My husband said yes we can go! so it will be just my Hubby, my 2 yr old and myself... We will probably just stay a few hrs or maybe a night at a nearby hotel depending on the funds he can scrounge up doing Uber Eats which is his one and only job.

It sucks that it always seems to be around the same areas. There's a whole other side of the country. Just sayin.

Whose balls did you have to play with?

I respectfully don’t want to get into the vaccination wars for we have beat that subject into the ground. I just wanted to add one comment on the technology surrounding mRNA’s. Mrs Pete has Leukemia, a cancer that is not curable and she will fight this awful disease until there are no more days left. Leukemia like Covid is not easy to treat, it mutates and un-mutates which makes treatment close to impossible. mRNA technology has been around since the 1990’s. The issue was we didn’t have a solid idea how to use it effectively in medicine. mRNA has been considered to unlocking personalized cancer therapies. By combining genetic screening, liquid biopsies, healthcare providers can design and manufacture mRNA therapies specifically made for patients’ unique tumor genetics. Similar to vaccines, mRNA can be used to encode cancer-specific proteins and target cancer cells rather than healthy ones. For the first time, cancer treatment tailored to you and no one else. People like my wife have a fighting chance to live a long life with technology such as this. My thoughts, get vaccinated don’t get vaccinated. There is more to this than you can imagine and yes on both sides of the coin. Stay safe regardless.

We have come up with a tentative time and location, but now we need a more solid head count on who will be coming. Sept 22 - Sept 26 Cadiz, KY Given the late timing in the year already, other extenuating circumstances, and such, we're considering a more informal, simple gathering with a house that is on the water. This would be a trip that would not involve as much planned activities, but more of a gathering to relax and hang out around the main house. Please let us know if you will be attending, please vote above

I would love to but unless I win the lottery I can not and its just a little too far

The admins have alot on their plates. I'm sure the decisions are hard enough. And I'm sure that even behind the scenes there is alot of yes ban him...no don't ban him. Other then @PainKillerI have faith in said admins.

I didn't even know Amazon Prime had a gaming section. I may have to take advantage of this, thanks.

Leave it thank you

Just because you give your individual diapers a girl's name does NOT make them a girl.

Icy well you have look like Elena and share Sefan and Damon in a love tri-angle

Liar - I charge $10 - take it or leave it

Whole lot - bunch of >IDIOTS<

Wonder if the guy who told everyone the world was round went through the same thing?

Received my tag in the mail! Purchased and printed off the license on line! Last weekend we scouted the area, saw 2 moose, a cow in a beaver pond and a young bull laying in a mud puddle in the middle of a woods road. We also put out 2 trail cams.

I like the Element 115 ideas. Using an isotope unavailable in our neck of the woods to bend space to your whim. Why burn coal & take centuries to get somewhere when you can just punch in the coordinates, bend the space in between, and step across. Different drives for interstellar and local transport. Sure makes the UFO sightings moving at impossible speeds and changing directions seem more plausible. Why punish yourself with a 25g change of direction, when you just make multiple, rapid, small bends in local space. Given that Idea, if you had the whole universe as your playground, would you really bother stopping @ a hicksville, hillybilly planet, out in the back 40? One with a bunch of morons running things that can't even tell if they're boys or girls? With nuclear weapons they might cap off @ a moments notice? Things are much more interesting downtown, with binary stars, quasars, gas giants pulling themselves apart, black holes gobbling everything up.

If its a flat Earth, wouldnt that suggest there is a bottom? How far deep is it? Did we actually already dig to the bottom, made a hole though it, and then kept it hidden? Or is that also a conspiracy theory?

We are all living in a simulation that some snot nosed alien has running on his pc.

No idea I won anything if there was prizes being given out last night until I logged on now. Before any gift cards is being send out can someone PM before they do, it would be much appreciated

XIFests are the Bests! I’m in!!!!

BE CAREFUL!!!!!

Throughout the years you Beers and McGrim have demonstrated why I am the only sane fckr amongst you, get down from that cliff and win. (He knows what that means) Rattlesnake season coming up, suppose we'll lose you ? Also thank you for doubling my scores over the years
