I wanna mention the CS:GG comp was pretty awful. For starters, the actual mod being used isn't even the standard one that everyone plays online. Rounds instead of deathmatch, collision on and starting with glock instead of awp. The actual running of the comp was pretty horrible too. Sure, there were server issues but that was dealt with well. I'm talking about having someone say over the mic they'll let us know when the servers are live and sometime later the server restarts and a couple of rounds in it is said the servers are now live. You just can't call the servers live if they have been running before any period of time without a restart.
The CS:GG comp was indeed quite awful. We usually play by "Gungame monash" rules. Which are Rounds/starting with AWP/and instant gun promotions. I'm not sure about whether we usually run with collision on. The server was obviously not in this state, so a bit of miscommunication between the comp guys and the server guys i guess. I'll do my best to ensure that does not happen again. Unfortunately for me gungame always seems to end up not working too well on the day, no matter how much work we put towards rectifying the problem. We'll keep working at it!

if it's not possible to sync the announcements up with the live restarting then it should be properly said 'If you are in Game X Server Y then we will be going LIVE after NEXT server restart.'
Point taken, i try to get announcements as close to server restarts as possible. We are working on a more automated platform for server launching/management which should make a lot of these problems much easier for us to solve. Watch this space!

there's nothing worse than hearing 'The payments for X have closed.' That reminds me, I was in a goddamn competition and someone threatened to eat the last meat lovers pizza which had not been claimed yet. I fucking HATE it when people threaten to eat my food. Don't you fucking dare. I had to get one of my mates, who was also in game, but not in a competition to go up and collect it for me. Let's not forget that meat lovers arrived later on, ya know, after the competitions had booted up again.
I'll admit that joke got old about 3 lans ago. I promise to retire it from here on out. (No one would actually eat someone elses pizza... that would just be rude)
