Hi so i was in the moat community for over a year until I was banned from the discord for calling the owner gay and I hope that this place wont be as sensitive as that I plan on staying a while and I hope to make many new friends here. I have around 2000 hours on gmod

Cant wait to meet all of you <3

I was thinking since there are new "power creep"/"cancer" traits.
I though of a new Zodiac idea and it would be Cancer Zodiac,

Basically it would Remove/nullify ALL and ANY screen traits. (AKA despair,frost,Eerie,Engraved)
This would be a passive ability like Sagittarius where you only have to pull out the gun to get ability.

Main ability would remove/nullify ALL and ANY effects of DOT.
But you have to active it before any DOT's procs,

(Example: active ability and it has timer for 40 seconds and you can't be proc'ed by ANY DOT's in that 40 seconds But you will still take damage if you get proc'ed before you active the ability)

Additional Details: I know people are gonna talk about me departing in replies to this but in reality I can't stay away from this server it's been my 2nd home for the past almost 4 years now and I love it and the community that comes with it.

blahblah trident overpowered (it really is though)
The real problem is melees have been useless and not viable at all since weapons became actually powerful, and outside of melee-specific fights, they're impossible to use.
I gotta few suggestions on how to make some of them more useful and further diversify the play style of individuals on the server -

Normie Melees:

Doomscooper is fine.

Sledgehammer:
I personally think the sledgehammer is pretty good as is since its rarity is the closest to a regular crowbar. The one thing I think would be cool is if it had a second "swing" animation that was horizontal and did a sweep area damage. Possible to break down doors?

Hatchet:
Should have a swing pattern that does maybe 2 vertical swings and then a horizontal swing. If it's hitting a player on the neck with a horizontal swing and that player is under 20hp, it should decapitate them. Also possible to break down doors?

Ninjato:
Focus on the "ninja" part of the name, that's always been the coolest part about it. A secondary ability to deflect a single bullet or projectile would be a really nice feature to have. I don't think it'd be overpowered if the timing had to be really precise and short with a longer cooldown. It would be fun to see a DoW ball coming at you and be able to send it away or if you're rushing a sniper, the ability to predict the shot and deflect it back at them like a true Genji main. (obviously the duration would be much shorter than genji's)

Durandal:
Its a fukkin magical sword on par with Excalibur. It should probably have some kinda magical-charged powershot or maybe the ability to hit some kind've combo-move on someone. It would be really nice and probably help with melee-challenge scrolls a lot when people can't afford higher-end melees.

Hylian Shield:
I think it's pretty solid. I'm not sure how it deals with projectiles but should probably be able to block those too if it can't already. Same with Mirror Shield.

Legbiter:
Big ass cleaver should definitely severely slow people for a slow duration when they're hit by it. Probably give it a better chance to drop with bleed too, that thing feels heavy as fuck, probably doesn't feel good to get hit by it.

Fists of Djinn:
Just punches should probably shake people's screen a lot more is all.


Godlikes:
I don't even remember what the godswords do off the top of my head, I think they're kinda nasty as they are, I'm not a fan. Time to hit the index to see what they do...

Anarchic Godsword:
Added passive ability, immunity/nullifies effects from ice/blizzards.
Added active ability, hit "E" to affect everyone in a decent range with Blizzard. This would consume the right click charge.

Avian Godsword:
Added active ability, ability to leap (kinda like moonboots, but without the bounce & a cooldown inbetween leaps).
Added active ability, hit "E" to "roll the dice", giving a chance to either heal or damage yourself.

Barbaric Godsword:
Added passive ability, whenever you take damage from another player you gain mobility speed. Stacks.
Added active ability, hit "E" to give yourself +100hp and some extra mobility, can't swap weapons or drop it. If you don't get a kill within 15 seconds, you die, otherwise you go back to whatever health you were at prior to using this. You cannot use right click while using this ability.

Sagacious Godsword:
Added passive ability, each hit applies a stat increase to your weapons for the rest of the round.
Added active ability, hit "E" to apply an AoE field that gives everyone inside a health regen (each individual can get +25 health including yourself) and mobility boost. This can get you to full health, but won't give more than 25hp.) Would consume right click charge and have a longer cooldown.

Bloodweep of Damnation:
Change the right click from a push function to a horizontal sweep that can hit multiple targets at once. Maybe there should be a small area around the neck where if you hit them there with the horizontal swing, it'll decapitate them (obvi would kill them). Would be a cooldown on this swing.

Staff of Osiris:
THERES SO MUCH STUFF THAT CAN BE DONE. Spawning like 3 zombie waves would be cool, can be random types, literally spawn them like pikmin in Smash Bros or some shit and control them like that. Maybe if you're a T, they could have a chance to infect people they hit but otherwise just do damage or tank shots. Enable ult in TTT that can cure infected people/yourself? Make the right click launch everyone back. The left click is okay, might be nice to make it lock on only when close to someone.

Deathbringer (melee) is probably fine.

Flereous is definitely fine.


Doing this is a lot of work for sure, but it could change the way people play TTT and give them more individualized playstyles. I think it would be about as effective as adding a whole new inventory slot would when it comes to gameplay, I definitely think it'd be worth it.  

I think my motherboard is fucked. Can boot it up, but can't connect any monitors, I think my MOBO is just hecked. Been having loads of problems so you might not see me for a while (in-game at least, I have Steam on my tablet).

Any advice would be nice pls. Basically, I turn on my computer, it boots up, my monitor turns on and then says no signal and then just goes blank. Computer is still on and running as norm, though. Can't see anything.

Would the problem be my MOBO? The monitor works fine, tested it. I also tested a different monitor on a different plugin, works fine too evidently. Just not on my actual rig. Going to try and order a new motherboard, but I have no money and no life so it'll probably be never, R.I.P. Please send aid.

We're making some big changes to the application process in an attempt to allow more people to 'shoot their shot' so to speak, and show us if they are actually staff material, as well as to weed out any insufficient staff members.

1. Staff Applications will be approved about 90% of the time(mods or higher), however, in 2 months time, the applicant will need to post a 'community evaluation' thread, similar to the original application. On the thread, the community will rate your performance, and unpoke and I will decide if you keep the role, or aren't fit for it.
2. ALL current staff members (not +members) will need to post community evaluations in the new section, any staff that fail to post one within the deadline will be demoted from their position.
   You should judge staff based on their behavior/performances starting now, not prior to this, just to give everyone a fair shot to shapen up
3. After their initial evaluation, staff will need to post one every evaluation period(4 months) in order to keep their position. This date will be announced ahead of time to keep you all informed. Currently the next evaluation period AFTER april, is set to be in early august, 4 months after the deadline for the current ones.
   
   
   You will need to post your community evaluation application between March 27th and April 3rd. Failure to do so will result in a demotion!
4. Moderators and higher will be given a new perk to give them something back for helping us out. They will be able to turn the current TTT map into a  'double XP' map (or 2.5x EXP on weekends), this will be usable PER staff member, but have a few hour cooldown per-person.
   

A community evaluation is where staff will post to see how the community feels about their performance.

The outcome of this will either be to continue staffing, get feedback on how you can improve, or a demotion if we feel you're not up for the role.

DO NOTE, this isn't for posting anytime you feel like it. We have a set schedule for this! PM myself or unpoke if you need to know more about this.
You should fill this simple application out when posting here:
