i think i should win becuase it is the season of giving, and recieving! I've always genuinely enjoyed the community on aether, I have always had great and hilarious  interactions with people that always keeps me coming back.

also pic dump because i don't have one favorite ☺️

+1 economy patch just feels bad, such a major update and its not gonna be easy getting used to. money used to be made easily, now it seems really difficult. the !unbox market seems very dry today interms of active transactions too which reflects the playerbases uncertainty on where the economy/market is going. it sucks seeing the value of money change because everyone is gonna have a hard time understanding what the new prices on items should be. 

i should win because misty fountain

bro was begging people to raid for the longest time, people finally started raiding and he went back on what he was offering

Gooch is a strange body part, Bonr can be a traumatic word because of the sexual implication to it, But lets hold a standard. I think muting and gaging was fair to set an example for others. But this standard is not held so the warns were a surprise! They didn't expect to be reprimanded for something that's not previously being corrected. I think the warns should be lifted but people should not say these things in ooc anything sexual is taboo for the reason of kids being on the server/game just keep it goofy not creepy and nasty

I agree with Slippery G00ch as this, to me, is a fair middle ground. I just genuinly think that it was very suprising to be warned/muted/gagged for not knowing better. If a standard is set, then we shall abide by it. But up until now it didn't seem like there was a set standard on this issue.

There is a huge difference from a word or name and an expressive comment

I don't think this is true, a name can literally be an expressive comment that is NSFW.

if you want to report sanzu for this comment please make a player report on him

Why would I want to report him for saying literally the same thing I said. The difference is he said it to prove a point that this warn/mute/gag is selective and unwarranted.

Like hell i went into depth! I said THREE little words, grow the hell up as a staff member. So I didn't get into fucking detail. No other staff member has fucking problems except guess fucking who? You, you have some big random fucking problem about the internet being a fucked up place thinking you can stop it? hah PLEASE I'd love to see you do shit to stop the fucked up side of the internet.

Daedera makes a very good point in his latest reply. The internet is full of fucked up shit, saying stuff that is hardly NSFW in comparison and shouldn't be up top on your  priority list as staff. We weren't trying to be disgusting/offensive/nsfw, we weren't trying to be rude/disrespectful towards anyone, we were simply making childish jokes that aren't really serious.

Like wouldn't it make more sense that if stuff like this wasn't allowed on the server in any extent, that the first course of action would be to verbally warn us not todo it again?? Going full out 15min mute/gag and warn seems like overkill for just a couple of words. It would be much more appropriate, and make sense,  if someone had typed "@ i didn't like what they were talking about in OOC and i was offended" for us to get warned. No one on the server was offended so why were we warned?

It felt like an overstep from staff when no harm was done to the community.

Is This Complaint For A Staff Member Or Player?: Staff

Reason For Complaint: I feel like I was gagged and muted for an unnecessary amount of time based off of one word. I don't believe that the word 'erections' should be a warnable NSFW offence, hell I don't think that even boners is really that bad when we have people on the server with the allowed names 'Slippery G00ch'  and  'Clitty Litter'. This warn and mute/gag seems very unnessecary given the circumstances, especially given i wasn't intending to be gross or offensive in any manner.

I asked Ariestios why I was warned and his response was 

"Kids play on the server, we don't need that language or culture in the server
please take this to the forums if you think the warn was unjustified"

I really don't think I said anything incredibly offensive that warranted a warn/15min mute/15min gag. I understand that kids play on the server but i garuntee that the kids old enough to play gmod have heard worse stuff in school/around their friends. What I said was hardly NSFW. I also think that SlipperyDaedera didn't really deserve a warn either, as what he said wasn't incredibly offensive. His diction may be NSFW in nature but again, If any 'children' are playing on the server, its incredibly likely they've already heard terms like that used before. Gmod is rated at 13+ anyway so children 13 and under technically shouldn't even be allowed to play as they will likely be exposed to adult themes.

this just seems like an unncessary change imo. AB was already hard enough to earn, it shouldn't be afking as the main way to earn. i agree with brdlevel that this change makes the server more p2w. I dont think its a horrible decision to make AB harder to obtain, but cutting it down so much from the wheel definetly makes me wonder why. Having two spots on the wheel with 1500AB wouldve been a much better change.

I think that making AB almost impossible to earn in game without afking just harms the majority of the playerbase and discourages them from even playing. 

i agree with O X, there should be better ways to earn AB rather than solely the wheel, passively playing or AFK.

maybe a limit for the amount of casino resets that can be used in a day could be helpful.

grand idea, revert and limit the amount of resets you can use in a day.

also #mistyfountain

i simply wouldn't mind winning, my luck with gamba is bad so maybe my luck with giveaways is better.

heres my screenshot, just heavy enjoying a nice day at the beach under the summer sun.

I mean yeah, you shoulda been unmuted but sometimes things move too fast and humans make mistakes. And as far as calling a group of players "biggers"; that's only gonna get you in trouble as we all know what it clearly sounds like, and what minges will use it as.

!asay and @ both still work when you're muted, so if you're ever in an experience like this again please do just make a report asking to be unmuted at earliest convivence.

you also could have make a sit

@ im still muted

and i would have fixed it instantly with no issue 

i did say exactly that "@ im still muted" but no more then two seconds passed and you had timed out. took a bit before you were back on

Is This Complaint For A Staff Member Or Player?: Staff

Reason For Complaint: Got pulled into a sit while roleplaying as Dwarf Crip fighting against Dwarf Bloods, had used the terminoligy "Biggers" in reference to any other non-dwarf class. During the sit I along with Sniper MOnke both got gagged and muted (slightly excessive given i was trying to explain that i was roleplaying and not trying to use the word in lieu of the racist word, didn't even get the opportunity to speak or defend myself). Me and Sniper MOnke were both ungagged but never unmuted after being returned (This made me unable to normally play for the rest of my session, ei. couldn't /buyammo etc). 

I was only able to get us both unmuted after asking ThiccYe ingame through voice chat.

pictures: never unmuted

Specify Where The Rank Is Needed: DISCORD  and  FORUMS  

Proof of Rank Ownership:

Suggestion: Add mineral nodes to old hobo spawn. Possibly add more variety in the current mine rather than only stone (freakstage's addition)

Link To Relevant Addons: None

Media/Screenshots/Videos:

How will this improve the quality of Aether?: Allows miners to explore the map more and find other areas to mine rather than the current mine, train station or underwater. Old hobo spawn is currently not used for anything, would be nice to see minerals added to that area to attract miners. Given the area is underground it only makes sense that minerals should be added here.   

01:24:26 PM (OOC) freakstage: +1 and more in mines because finding ONLY stone in a place for mining is crazy
