For once one of my threads like this has a legitimate title! So lets get to it... HUGE CONGRATS TO HG | Combine [L] ON HIS PROMOTION TO TF2 DIVISION LEADER

Sorry for the delay. I thought that this post had been locked after @FreeHugs replied, but thankfully a friend of mine told me that it wasn't locked so here I am. @imasonaz you are correct in the fact that my previous post only mentions that I missed my time here and doesn't actually mention any real reason as to why I should be unbanned so let me amend that mistake: HG was always a home for me and will remain as such regardless of the outcome of this appeal, and because of this I would love to make promises of working towards re-populating the CS:GO division, help recruit new members, and many other great things. The only thing that I know for certain is that if I am unbanned you will not regret it, I have learned from my mistakes and over the past year (and some) I have actually had to learn to be responsible for myself and others and have become a much more enjoyable and responsible individual than when I was last in HG. Thank you, Jglake

Honestly, as a recruit for HG I really enjoy the community more closer then I ever imagine. I met a lot of great staffs! and great members of the HG aswell! I'm happy I toke the opportunity to apply for Recruit for HG!

General Roasterrock legendary card +30 Health +75 Armor OR +15 Health +30 Armor Seeing that the general is a human boss but not team threatening like how Nightmare and Tickle monster are to the human team, I think it would not be big problem if it becomes a rare card with reduced status but I will leave the final decision for the ones who will implement it ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Medical Kit rare card +0.5 health ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Turret rare card +0.5% faster scan +0.35% faster firing speed

Attention please read this before proceeding I am simply suggesting that the cards have special abilities after some certain level, the following are JUST ideas that I think would be good and are not FINAL, if you like the "suggestion" itself but not the following ideas or think some of them need some change then please reply what you think should be changed or added. But if you don't like the "suggestion" from the first place then feel free to object with a reply stating why you don't like it or why it should not be there. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Why, what is the difference between this and normal upgrading? The reason I have suggested this is to encourage people to spend and have more reasons to collect points, other than the fact there are some cards untouched by the majority so it would be fun to actually see people seek to upgrade them and the difference is that these special abilities are a one time thing unlike the normal upgrading which attributes slowly upgrade till the card is maxed. And you might notice some of the following abilities have a unique power to them and you might be like if they are used by multiple they will be kind of overpowered while that is partially true but you have to remember that not everyone has the same number of cards, or even the same cards themselves, and maybe not even the will to upgrade in the first place. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keywords On kill --> In kill feed, it only shows your name as the killer no one else with you On assist --> In kill feed, it shows that you assisted someone in killing On use --> Applies only when you are using the weapon Consecutive --> One after another without a gap (miss) in between --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let us start, I will not cover all cards but the ones I have thought of ideas for. Humans Silencer level 9 +25% more reduced aura range Drill deagle level 9 Clip increases by two bullet Glock level 9 Last bullet of the clip is 50% more accurate Eraser level 10 Last bullet in the clip does 5x the damage instead of 3x Fists level 6 After 3 consecutive successful hits to a zombie, the fourth one will deal two times the damage Jump card level 6 Your legs are strong now, when you fall from a height that knocks you down you take 25% less falling damage and recover 50% faster.

Congrats Combine, I know you'll do a great job.

This may be too late to post, but there's no way to actually utilize resources a lot of resources to Gmod because of its source engine. The game is poorly optimized for multi-threaded uses so a CPU such as Ryzen 7 2700X will not perform better than an i9-9900K (as expected). Gmod isn't as resource heavy as it seems, but the low fps doesn't always mean your PC is the bottleneck. I have a Ryzen 7 2700X paired with a GTX 1050 Ti. This is a high-end CPU (8 core, 16 thread) paired with a budget-friendly GPU GTX 1050 Ti. Even with multi-core option enabled, my framerate is somewhat around 60-70ish fps and CPU utilization is quite low. In fact, it only seems Garry's Mod is only taking advantage of 8 threads instead of 16 threads. In addition, GPU usage is low because the CPU is not utilizing all of its resources to the game. And like you stated: Since I have a good CPU, setting it to Real Time was no problem. However, this only improves FPS by quite a few (around 1-8). I did notice that CPU usage increased quite a bit, but it was only on the 8 threads that were utilized in GMod. The only way to truly increase your FPS is by buying a CPU that has extremely good single-core performance such as an i9-9900K or the upcoming Ryzen 3000 series. However, many of you viewing this topic just want to boost FPS for free, so what you can do is do what the guide tells you. If you have a really low-end GPU (4600 Intel HD Graphics or GT 710

As someone I work with and who's part of my team, this was a position well deserved to you @Combine. Congratulations.
