Mod Report: Week 17

[Cliff JamestonModerator]

Howdy pardner! Welcome to the Mod Report! Go on and get some hitches in yer giddyups or whatever cowboys do and let’s get started!

Build Challenge

Some of you are already eager to start on the build challenge. We would like to inform you of its start date, however it won’t be for a while, so we don’t know any details at all about it, meaning we can’t. Sorry! We are planning another change in our approval process, to reflect things we learned from the previous build challenges, mainly the Adventure build. We want this to be the best build challenge so far, so be ready for some changes. More news later, sorry for the lack of much actual info here.

Grinders. Again.

You people just don’t want to make our jobs easier, do you? As much as we try to clarify our position on grinders, you lot always want to go around us, and use them anyways. So, we would like to say that if you want to use a grinder, as long as it is a non-exploit grinder, for now we are fine with it,* as long as the grinder has an off switch, or a way to dispose of items generated while no one is there to collect them. We still would much rather you didn’t use them, though, so please, don’t, but if you do anyways, give it an off switch.

*Our opinion is subject to change at any time, please keep an eye on the forums and minecraft chat for further news.

New Team Fortress 2 Maps

We have another set of new maps to replace the old ones, koth_coldfront, pl_snakewater, and cp_borax. Hope you guys enjoy them, and for the results of the previous vote, and more details on the new ones, go here.

Neko’s Turbo Team Fortress 2 League!

NekoEvangeline has started a Team Fortress 2 League for Turbo Club members, with many more details than could possibly fit in this post. For a full rundown of those details, go here, but in short: It’s awesome.

Turbo Streams

It seems every day, more and more turbos are streaming. For a full list and schedule of those streaming, and more information on the community, go here.

XMPP

As a followup to last week’s mention of the Mod voice chat moving over to Mumble, I am pleased to inform you that we are beginning to test XMPP for our personal use. That is all.

ThE DeSErT SKAggggggggggggS (Blame Chris)

Bonefoot has started up a Red Dead Redemption posse, called the Desert Skags. As seems to be the trend this week, there is simply too much to write about, so go here for more information.

We Bought A Zoo!

No, just kidding, but we do want to buy an island. Specifically, this island. Feel free to donate your life savings so we can feel special about having purchased an entire island off the blood sweat and tears of others!

Quote/Video of the Week!

Our first quote this week deals with male genitalia, so if you for some reason are not comfortable with reading the word, even after watching Fraser’s streams, don’t look.
From Nulani:”Penises fell out during adolescence.”
And, from chris, less NSFW, “I’ve made a total of 2 dollars on that minecraft real life video. I made money off my work MOM. SO THERE. SLAG OFF.”
And for our video of the week, we have something that’s surprisingly awesome. Unfortunately, I can’t surprise you with it, which kinda ruins it, but I think it’s still awesome.

That does it for the Mod Report this week! If you would like to see the creation of the Mod Report, feel free to tune in at http://www.twitch.tv/cliffjameston every Sunday at 7:00 PM PST!

such a pretty island.
that is all

[greyMember]

The island should have a skull on it… a kitty skull preferably.

[lloydieMember]

Wait…. why do we want to buy an island?
Is it, like, a deserted island that everyone will go play video games and live on together, or is it some kind of “fund this island and its economy, in the name of VGA!” deal? xD
(it is a pretty cool island, though)

[fairstarterMember]

we would have to paint one half of the buildings blue

[Friendly PyroMember]

I’m getting flashbacks to Jamestown here guys…

kudos for anyone who got that and laughed.

–edit– How much are we looking at for that whole island?

Where do i send my money. We need an island. NAO.

[skandal83Member]

You are probably seeing grinders because it seems we have had a lot of new turbos. I don’t think they knew but that is just what I think. I could be wrong.

And why that island. I will only donate to buy a tropical paradise.

[Cliff JamestonModerator]

Well do you see any tropical paradises for sale?

[Lt.No0bMember]

Of course cliff, right here

[Cliff JamestonModerator]

… huh. Wasn’t really expecting that… That’s a nice island. More expensive though, if I remember right (As if that matters, it’s a bloody island).

[soghogMember]

screw islands, let’s get our own sea fort.

[destroyoxMember]

I can lend you my Doom Fortress Island. Just don’t eat all my food.
