Disclaimer:: If any of the following information is incorrect, I apologize. I'm going off the information I was told/have experienced in-game. Trails and HG Coin were just released and have been under modification since, so please correct me if wrong @Icon or anyone else who has updated info. Thank you tl;dr > There are trails on the server now and an HG Coin. Top10 (maybe Top20) and Gold+ (maybe VIP+) players can access trails by using either !trails or /trails command. Collecting the HG Coin gives 10 points. Blah blah blah, errors. Blah blah screenshot. Blah blah, check the video below for a showcase of all the new trails and pick your favorite in game! ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~News~ Hello gamers! @Icon recently introduced trails to the MG server! Upon first release it was Top10 and Gold+ players only. I believe now (unless it's a glitch) it is Top20 and Gold+ (VIP+ may also get it now. If not now, they likely will soon). This gives players yet another reason to join the server and play to reach Top20 in order to have access to trails! Or even to support the community by getting VIP+/Gold+ In this post, I will be showing you all a video clip of each of the 21 trails currently on the server. It is time consuming to try them all out yourself on the server to see which one you like, so I am giving you a short and sweet way to check them out and pick your favorite! I will also be touching on the new HG Coin added to the server. HG Coin There is a new feature added where a HG Coin will spawn somewhere randomly on the map. There have been some issues with this where it can spawn out of reach on some maps, or cause large error boxes for some players. If you encounter the error boxes while playing, please open your console in game, scroll up to when you joined the server, then take a screenshot of the console info from when you connected. Please take that screenshot and post it in the CS:GO Discord in #mg-discussion, or send it directly to me via Discord, Teamspeak, Steam, or forum PM and I will bring it to attention. Collecting the HG Coin on a map rewards you with 10 points. Trail Showcase Again, in order to use trails you type either !trails or /trails in chat to bring up the menu. Below is a list of the trails in order as they show up on the in game menu on each page. Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4 1. Disable Trail 1. Emerald Follower 1. Impulse 1. Blue Hole 2. Kind Magic 2. Ice Breathing 2. Equalizer 2. Starsucker 3. Evil Magic 3. Pink Chaser 3. Toxic Dog 3. Starblow 4. Confetti 4. Black Hole 4. Slow-Universe 4. Green Hole 5. Splashes 5. Sparkle 5. Universe 6.

Apologies in advance for not every trail being displayed as well/as long as the others. Special shoutout to @Suburban and @clearlynotjake for distracting me a bit Also for being chill Special shoutout to @Rains for adding the text for each trail in the video! He's the man WARNING:: Beware sound/volume level! It's may/may not be loud for you, but it's loud on my headset so I wanted to warn in case ear drumz go boom This is my first real self edited video with music and it took me at least a few hours to properly trim/add music/edit/process changes/etc.(Was originally a 14 minute video), so please be kind. I did this for the community and hope you all enjoy the convenience ---> Constructive criticism is allowed & appreciated <---

I appreciate all of your opinions and insights that are reasonable/mature on this thread but this thread is now locked and shut down.

I understand both sides of this coin. However, there is a smaller picture and a bigger picture here IMO. The bigger picture is that we are a Public community and we should not allow certain words/behavior because they are just flat-out offensive (just as much as the N-word). If I walked into a public place to sit down and eat and the people next to my table were using homophobic slurs, I would not like it or appreciate it and I am not gay, If I was, it would be worse. Now let's say that I complained to a manager and the manager told me that they are not going to do anything about it, I would then leave that restaurant and not go back and would not recommend the place to any of my friends probably because it is up to the managers of that restaurant to make sure that its guests have a good experience and feel comfortable at its establishment. This is a slippery slope on both sides rather it is allowed or not allowed TBH and if things like this are allowed then it needs to be regulated and monitored in a way that it would not cause any issues of any kind but that is a ton of work and in some cases, people would leave and or not join HG by allowing this kind of talk/behavior. In all honesty, there are going to be people that don't like the decision either way. it is a double-edged sword. At any rate, UM does care very much about any topic and issue that comes our way. HeLLsGamers is a fun and welcoming community that cares and appreciates everyone in it. My 2 cents, keep the change. My above statement goes for discriminative slurs, racial slurs, and homophobic slurs

Hello, seeing as though I get questions on how to make/edit videos frequently. I would like to know if you guys would be interested in also making videos/learning on a weekly basis (and just have creative input). Programs I am currently using are: Vegas, Photoshop, Premiere, and Audacity I am more than willing to teach everything I've learned so far while giving input on other people's works. LMK what you guys think Video Software: Vegas Pro | Premiere Adobe Suite: Adobe Audacity: Audacity

In a general sense Icon and I have talked about this topic before, ages ago we both were against the homophobic slur (f-word) because it felt cultured into gaming almost. I had also previously argued for other topics that I now find cringe and trivial (n-word use anywhere in servers). I do think this is a good idea, getting rid of these things from our server. As times change so will HG. In my opinion we may need to look into some policies and revamp them, and then roll them out effectively. It starts with things like this, and I agree HG can be better. This will get discussed.

As someone who had previously (like 6 years ago @Burnt) defended the use of the homophobic slur, I now cringe whenever I hear it. So I understand where those that would argue to keep it are coming from. Not saying it wasn't an issue before, but normally when people bring up similar issues they do it to cause trouble. Doesn't seem to be the case this time. I think selectively racist isn't really what I would call it, more like selectively enforcing. Like I always mess around about my, let's say heritage, with @ASCII. I say it's all on good fun, but it's something I still wouldn't be doing around others as they might be offended. I know when we mess around it's not to offend each other, which is probably why I don't really think about it much. I always think if someone is offended by something they should bring it up. Only issue is usually when they do bring something like this up is to deflect away from their own mistakes. This is probably a conversation that should be brought up at the cD meeting. Anyway I'm rambling. I like the idea of this changing because it really doesn't affect anything, but would prevent offending others. As far as jailbreak I'll change the sound as soon as I find something to replace it with. I'm thinking of doing a contest.

People get kicked and banned for racism, notably saying, 'the nword'. HG ZS has used the suicide bomb with a muslim chant for a very long time, and I realized that's actually pretty racist. Is this a double-standard in the community, an oversight, or is HG selectively racist? One solution could be changing the sound to the old gold meme, "beep beep beep WTF BOOM".

Lol I'll throw my 2 penny's at this situation. People saying the n word as calling someone the hard r shouldn't be allowed and calling someone or referring to them just with a regular A, should and can be allowed in my opinion because people deem it as such huge racist word but I don't care, its the way you use it, but as in a sense there is moderation, and hg is a business not a government as saying "free-speech" or something around the lines, and hg can set any rules or anything they want, as in being selective, there's nothing really selective other than a few set of people within the community that impose/implicate and moderate such rules, It just the matter of the fact that people get or find a way to get offended by the slightest things said or done. (Not referring to homophobic topic that was brought up nor am I going to touch it) By the looks of it, this entire post is kinda stupid, because I'd just say to you to grow a pair and leave it alone, but sadly this isn't the situation because hg is a business referring to Eddie post, I can fully understand and agree on his post in some ways. There's a lot of personality's in this community so the different beliefs and values are different from each others and can be considered offensive to one or another, such as this "LALALA" sound effect. As in a way its racist, you can say but it's not really about that, its more comical and a funny way of thinking of the suicide bombs, more stereotypical than anything. You ask yourself this question, when you think of a suicide bomb, what comes to mind? A middle eastern man wearing one, or just the bomb itself? Doesn't it ever cross your mind that its stereotypically proven that you think of a Arabic or middle eastern dude of some sort to begin with. Just how you think of a school shooter, you think of a white kid or man because its there ethnicity that make up or commit those crimes the most, but people wouldn't deem it racist per-se, and even its not committed the most by that race, its just a trend or media attention it gets to such ones race or type. However like family guy for instance or these cartoons its just to poke fun at different racists or stereotypes not to be intentionally or outlandishly racist. Have a bit of humor in things especially online or games, not to think people or community's are selectively fucking racist, and if those people are, it will be addressed or dealt with. As well that sound effect has been around for a long time and its just the matter of essence that you guys are now realizing stupid shit like this. I think it should just be left alone. If you're offended by my post and think I'm racist- I could care less, but if you want to agree to disagree please go about it in a family friendly manner

Perhaps don't be so butthurt? I think those that have racist thoughts come to mind first are the problem. I think it makes fun of a terrorist organization rather than an entire race or religion.

this is super poggers. keep it up man

kinda weird that we can't say the n-word but homophobic and transphobic slurs are a-ok. IMO none should be allowed, as some groups of people may feel unwelcome in the community

Its nice to have something new added to the server! Good Job

So that's why the coin was on the mg maps, I thought it was a bug. Very cool addition, good job!

very organized and have nice details

You’re doing good work for MG great formatting on your thread and video

So would you like us to change something that has been apart of not just ZS, but source games for decades? it seems like a tall order, especially considering the fact that you are, so far, the only one to have an issue with it, even though all you need to go is Escape - Options - SFX audio and mute it. Problem solved, you no longer hear it, and. As for the Akbar AK, Again, been in the game since its conception, and its an issue only NOW coming up because i mentioned it. It has NO racial connotations, nor is it promoting racism. Its literally the nickname for a gun because gurrila groups such as one in the middle east use the AK. Is the "Schmeisser" MP40 racist because it was used by the Nazi's in WWII? I don't think so. It has zero bearing on racism, its ironic, its mean to be a joke. No one in ZS, nor do i think in any HG server actually became or is racist and uses a random GMOD gamemode to back up their ideals. Its just seems to me as an excuse to be offended by something that no one else has ever had an issue with. Ever. If you do have an issue with it, as stated above, you can turn off SFX audio and you don't have to hear it anymore. Problem - Solved.

I would have to severly disagree. the "LALALALALA" sound isn't racist, because its literally just a noise that has been used, not just in gmod, but in tons of other games for decades, and it has NO racial implications. This seems more like a nitpick than anything else. Aswell, we have a weapon named the "Akbar" AK and no one in the history of ZS has had an issue with either. Its not discriminating against a certain group of people, nor is it equivalent to calling someone or something a slur, its a 3 second long audio clip of "LALALALALALALA". Its not racist to say "ALLUHA AKBAR" either, because the same is true as stated above, its not calling others a slur, nor is it discriminating.

I know this is late but I wanted to wait until I bought my mouse. A few weeks ago, I attended the AVP Boom Event in CS:S hosted by @EddieCam. It was a very fun event and I was the best player, no doubt no doubt. The event had multiple prizes and one of them was a $75 gift card which ya boi won. Thank you so much for the $75. I've been wanting to buy Glorious model O wireless for a long time and it was finally possible because of this event and the gift card that I won. Here's the sexy mouse

First off that's not how you want to start a sentence if you don't want to sound "condescending". Second, how are we "uneducated' by finding a phrase typically used by terrorist organizations as not racist just because they so happen to be of a certain race or religion? If anything we are more open minded and accepting of muslim cultures by not associating them with said organizations. I find it more unacceptable to relate this to them because it strengthens the sterotypes against them.

Pimp Those Simps

I agree 100%... The situation with some slurs being allowed while racial slurs are not is inconstant IMO. I refer to idubbbz content cop on Tana Mongeau, where he makes the common sense conclusion, that all slurs should be allowed or non at all. It would be a welcomed change for me to see less use of derogatory slurs in HG. Please point out if I am missing a key point in why things are the way they are currently.

I agree. I feel like the only reason they are still okay is cuz edge lords. There really is no good reason why those words are allowed. They're offensive and prejudice, just like the "n-word" and any other racial slurs. One day on one of our servers, there were a few people mocking someone because they "sounded trans". Calling them a tranny and acting like they've never knew they existed. It's super cringe and that was in a less derogatory way than the terms being discussed..

out of my 6 years of playing this game you are the first person to ever complain about this

Based. I'm looking to hit 315 on deadlift by the end of the summer. Also, newbie gains are unreal. I HIT 135 LB ON OVER HEAD PRESS! I'm very excited about this lift. A plate on OHP has been a major goal of mine since I started lifting last fall, so it's really awesome to see my work in the gym come to fruition!

Very cool addition! you're doing amazing stuff for MG

You're doing great work for HG community I appreciate your praise

Yo bro, thought I'd share as well. Maybe this could be a good start to get HG more active IRL haha or motivate others who are thinking of starting their own weight training journey. I've been in the gym for ~6 months as well and my noobie gains have been crazy. I'm at a bodyweight that fluctuates from 200-205 and hit my PR not too long ago of 335lbs. You're doing great man. I'm not saying I'm a pro or anything but I do have a plethora of knowledge from studying and plenty of military friends that give me guidance daily. Thought I'd share this with ya in case you ever wanted any information on diet, exercise, or anything at all. If I don't have the answer, I definitely know people who do. I didn't start with much body fat to begin with but I've used my own knowledge of nutrition to cut and shred the visceral fat that I had before I properly bulk up on some mfs and try to hit 220+ lbs with low body fat % through this year. Once again, I'm no advanced personal trainer but I love to learn and help others with their fitness goal whether powerlifting, bodybuilding, or functional fitness. On top of that it's just another sense of accountability. Keep grinding bro, I love to see it. By no means am I trying to post on your milestones of my own stuff but I'd rather respond with some results as well to relate and help possibly motivate!

I completely agree. Especially about "fag" and "retard". 1) I'm bi-sexual and I cringe really hard every time I hear someone say it. Now I know fag and fa**** (LOOK IT'S EVEN **** ON THE FORUMS it shouldn't be allowed in game either!) have their own meanings that aren't derogatory, but let's be real here and admit that nobody is ever using those terms in those ways. 2) I'll admit, unlike #1, I do occasionally use the word retard or retarded myself. Typically in a joking manner, or not targeting anyone. Such as, "Bro you're retarded" to a friend jokingly, or, "This is retarded", referring to something that I find to be dumb. But again, let's be real here and admit that there definitely are people who take offense to these words as well, including myself especially when someone is blatantly calling someone a retard in a rude manner. That just pisses me off. I have family that are mentally challenged and disabled, including myself who am bi-polar (but I don't personally take offense to the word in regards to that). So hearing someone say it in a non-joking manner does upset me, but I'm partially hypocritical cuz I use the word jokingly. Personally, I straight up think the words "fag" and "fa****" should be on the not allowed list. Those words are seldom ever used in a joking manner. As for "retard/retarded", that's more up in the air. I personally wouldn't mind if those words weren't allowed at all either, but I also wouldn't mind if they were only not allowed per admin disgression. Such as if it were to be used in an offensive manner, warn>mute>etc. If it were to be used in an obviously harmless manner, just let it go. Sorry for rant, he asked for feedback lol

^ this I am a muslim man myself and it is unfunny when people make racist jokes such as "alalalal" "allahu ackbar". This isnt a good look for the server especially when the game csgo esports itself started losing sponsorships because big companies did not want to sponsor anything that had to do with "terrorists" and blowing stuff up. for example you look at valorant now and the spike is another word for the bomb and both sides are called attackers and defenders. for you to say that its been a part of the game for decades now and it is fine the way it is, is the reason why cancel culture has been thriving on twitter because being racist in 2021 is not cool. people are adapting and people get left behind that defend these ideologies

Programs listed above + audacity for audio, no fees, i would teach by streaming my edits/reviewing other peoples edits and them asking questions. Creative input is of course going to go both ways so there's benefits for both parties

happy birthday seymour

This is actually a controversial topic. I'll have to agree that obviously with "common sense" we all know the jihad sound comes from the islamic group that suicide bombs praising allah before sacrificing themselves to their beliefs. In my opinion, a simple sound effect of a bomb explosion to replace the "allah" should be no issue. But this isn't the only situation I've found controversial. So since my return to playing jb this month, I've noticed that a lot of players on the jb server (no need for names) will use the word retard(ed) directly to often mock a players style of gunplay or movement, My comparison here is with the word "fag" The word like other derogatory words is offensive, yet I hear the word retard being thrown left right and center when this word is putting people down and insulting them. Yes, I'll agree my analogy is a bit radical and out there but remember our goal in HG stands to respect all players. I personally feel like retard is a word that is never used in a positive way. I'd love to hear feedback on this. Lemme know please I'm being a little to extreme lol

Yes hg is selectively racist

Imagine white people trying to explain how something isn't racist towards another race, the suicide bombs are flat out racist.

Learn something new everyday, neat. As far as the topic, I agree with Seymour that HG is selective. Homophobic slurs are allowed in CSGO and every time it has been brought up at a leadership level it's been reaffirmed as acceptable so long as it's not not breaking the "respect all players" rules. Personally I don't know why so many people are so attached to that word that they defend its use regardless of its history of oppression, but I digress. Realistically unless someone speaks up about stuff like this, and gets enough people to agree that those permitting it have to listen, nothing will be done. We use a similar sound clip (maybe the same? IDK I don't play ZS) for our suicide bombs in jailbreak. Never really thought of it as Islamophobic but I could see how someone could interpret it that way. I also don't know if it's an issue that needs resolution because my personal experience with it hasn't been in that context. I think its worth talking about this stuff because its easy for people who are used to the way things are to gloss over things that may be hurting other people unbeknownst to them. I'm not sure this instance qualifies as the way I think of that clip is more of an absurdist take on extremists, not the whole religion of Islam. I do however think discussing it is helpful so regardless thanks.

Your sig is perfect for this response. Also I think it's pretty absurd to ask if a community as a whole is racist because of one sound effect in-game that is widely used

No

I'm pretty sure the source of the sound is from Postal 2, where it is 100% used in an offensive way. https://youtu.be/MgcIT91ZHJw. That being said, the whole point of that game was to be offensive to everybody and over the top to a point where it was comical. I'm not sure if that sentiment carries over if its just that sound effect that plays when someone blows themself up. The stereotype of middle easterners are terrorist suicide bombers has been around for a long time. It only would be an issue if someone genuinely believed the stereotypes and hated others because of it. I think a lot of people on these servers are able to laugh at the absurdity of it in an ironic sense, or don't even think about it at all.

isnt assuming that the "LALALALALA" clip is a Muslim extremist racist itself? it doesnt say anywhere that it is a Muslim saying it, and like mentioned above, he isnt saying allahu akbar, just LALALALALA.

I'm glad this is being brought up because seeing a anime girl with giant mommy milkers and a fat dump truck pull a ipad sized bomb out her ass and scream alalalalalalalalal then blow the entire zteam across the map offends me
