Hi!

The times are past us where you dislike the order of the TTT store!
Today we introduce personal shops!

You can fully set up your own order of items, and even leave spots empty, for example:

• Have only exo + medshot on page 1 .
  
• Have a taser on page 2.
  
• Have page 3 only missiles (for panic buys)
  

Its all up to you!

Once satisfied with the order, you can even replace the default shop! (and with that the scroll-wheel click shop)


Commands:
sm_myshop - for the shop.
sm_myshopsetup - setup your shop


NOTE: an online website is in development, so you can easily set up your personal store from on clwo.eu

I'll send you the game asap!

Big thanks to the people that made this possible:

It's the weekend before Halloween and things are starting to get a bit lively in the ghost town. TTT has been quite as of late and that's no secret, but we know you want to play and we know we want to play.

So, here's the deal. We're having a double exp weekend. We're having a Quintiple cR Weekend, from literally right now till Sunday night all cR (things you can buy !skills with) are earned at 5x the normal rate. This boost is so you can come have a taster of the cool things our dev Corpen has reintroduced or even help grind you to that last level of feather falling.

We'll have staff on throughout the weekend to help answer your questions and to keep things from getting too spooky.

Hope to see you on,
TTT Management.

This is written to shed some light on CLWO being a private entity:



Lets say you have your own teamspeak channel / discord server for you and your 5 friends,
You are hanging out together on a daily base, having tons of fun, experiencing great moments together, building memories together, all 5 of you.
The next day your friend meets a guy in the game you play together, and he gets invited over into your discord
After playing a couple of hours together, you find that his person is quite toxic, not a great sport, and you start to dislike that person over time.
You talk to your friends, and they all agree, so the next day the person comes online, you kick him from your discord server.

Over time you start to find people that fit well within your group, and they all get invited into the discord.
The group quickly grows from 6 to 20 people, and you are planning to make it a public discord, you and your 6 friends discuss the plan and the conclusion is that all 6 of them are responsible for moderating the discord, to keep the bad apples out.

Over time the discord grows to 70 people, its not manageable for you and your 5 friends to keep track on who is fitting in within the group, and who needs to go (kick/ban)
So you ask your friends to promote their most trusted person as a new admin, they all find each 1 extra person, including you.
Now you have a team of 14 people to manage a group/server of 70 people.

With that group you agree to treat everyone as fairly as you can, but you ask them to also rely on their gut feeling.
If someone is inherently toxic/not fitting within the group, your friends can get rid of that person if they think most of you would agree with it.

Over time your server grows to 200 people, and you are yet again faced with the challenge that your group of 14 is not fully capable of managing / overseeing the entire server of 200 people.
You come together and make a plan, the plan is as follows, each of us finds 2 people to help moderate the server, they don't need to be fully trusted, but we keep an eye on the actions they do.

Everyone agrees, you now have 42 people to manage 200 people.

At a certain point in time when a moderator unfairly bans someone and this person complains towards one of the more senior people (part of the 14) and its really clear that its a case of a moderator abusing his power, without much discussion the ban is overruled, and you get rid of the said moderator.

The next month, one of your friends (1 of the 14) bans someone from the server and quite quickly you see messages coming in from your other friends about how they feel its a bit too harsh of a punishment, how there could have been a misunderstanding, you hear this from your players, moderators and your close group of 14.

You come together and discuss whats going on, and you quickly figure out that it was a misunderstanding, a heated moment, and the punishments get adjusted.

Time passes, moderators ban/kick people and it always seems to be reasonable, so you start building a trust level with them too, they seem to hit the nail on the head when it comes towards judging and providing people access, and removing people from having access.

Your server grows even further and reaches a stable 500 people, so you promote your moderators (that have a proven track record) towards admins, and you establish a "core" of your 14 people to see over your admins.
These admins go an recruit newer mods, with the 14 looking over the decisions of the others, and keeping an eye on it all.

You quickly have a team of 80 people to oversee a player-base of 2000 people.

One day, 1 of the 14 goes and bans someone from your server, and the banned person sends over a complaint but no one in the staff team seems to be surprised by the ban, and no messages are trickling through that they are questioning / opposing the ban, the opposite is true: people are saying "finally", "good riddance", etc...

...


This is the exact story of CLWO, just paraphrased.
We grew from 5 to ~4000 players
Whilst growing people were put in charge to deal certain situations.
Other people were put in charge to keep an eye on the player base,
And overlooking it all, is you and your team of 14.

In reality there is no difference between YOU kicking someone from your teamspeak channel, or kicking them from your discord (with 5 people in) and us, CLWO as the community we are today.

We built layers of trust upon layers of trust.

Whilst doing so, it was clear were in need to evaluate staff abuse, and that's why we have the team of 14 in charge to make sure our moderators / admins are taking the right decisions, and we allow to complain if a ban feel unfairly to the person getting banned.
We also try to approach every situation as neutral as possible and to sometimes listen to the other side of the story.

If you have a toxic person in your teamspeak channel, would you listen to why he is toxic? would you ask him for his side of the story? Probably not.
You would kick him and move on with your life.

Although its not sustainable to listen to everyone's side of the story, their opinion, we try to, since we feel it gives a more "fair" feeling towards the entire structure.
Are we required to listen to their story? no, not at all, just like you would kick someone out of your channel for being super toxic.

We try to hold ourselves accountable for the actions we do, and we try to hold each-other accountable for the actions they do.
We (the staff team) allow you to connect towards our services.
We are paying for CLWO in time, dedication, and money. (in that order)

Whilst some of you might feel the entitlement of a "fair process" like the judicial processes countries have in place, we are not a country, we are not a government, we are a group of friends running a server.
It is not a requirement to have this at all, but we feel its a good way of detecting abuse within the community, and it gives a touch of maturity to a community.
This is still our server, our rules, our decisions, and everything extra onto that is a nice benefit for everyone.

If you check out our general rules, towards the bottom it states the following:

"Staff always holds the right to ban someone for whatever reason they see fit. In fact; they are allowed to ban without any reason provided at all."

This to remind you, we do as we please, but we are holding each-other accountable to some extend to do it right, and in a fair way.


Can this be improved? of-course! but at what cost?

I hope this gives some perspective that CLWO is, and will always remain, a privately run entity by a group of friends.

Playing on CLWO is not a right, its a privilege.
