Following the recent Counter-Strike: Source update, we have some updates regarding our servers (Build 17399420 - 18.02.2025). Zombie Escape Server Online (Unstable State) We’ve decided to bring the Zombie Escape (ZE) server back online in less than 48 hours after the game update, even though it’s currently in an unstable state. This will allow us to identify and fix bugs more quickly. While the gameplay experience may not yet meet our usual standards, we believe it’s better than having the server offline entirely. Progress Update Our team has been working tirelessly, sacrificing sleep and personal time to get us to this point. Here’s what you can expect in the coming days: By 24.02.2025: The Zombie Escape server will have 90% of plugins and extensions functioning properly. The Zombie Revival server will be fully updated to the latest game version. No-Steam Support: We are still working on restoring no-Steam support. This is a complex process due to significant changes in the engine code introduced in the latest update. Reverse-engineering these changes takes time, but we are making steady progress. Done Everything is now back to normal state. We appreciate your understanding as we work through these challenges. Our goal is to restore the best possible gameplay experience for everyone as soon as possible. If you encounter bugs or issues while playing on the ZE/ZR server, please report them to our team. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us resolve these problems. Thank you for your continued support! Stay tuned for further updates. A big thanks to everyone who are working on the backend for fixing everything.

Required: Ingame Nickname: haziwa Discord username: haziwa7241 Age: 19 SteamID: STEAM_0:0:505296309 What server are you applying for (ZR or ZE server?): ZE Optional: (Feel free to answer one or more questions) Why are you interested in applying for admin? Lately i've started to notice the lack of admins activity on pretty late EU hours and players who disregards about admins presence on the server. They then starts to troll while admins is afking on a serious map which hampers some of the players who wants to get the map beaten and not wasting time. For that i wanted to apply and help the server as much as i could. What time zone are you active in (NA or EU hours)? EU hours How long have you been playing on the server which you applied for? 8 years. How experienced are you in the gamemode for which you applied? I consider myself pretty experience but i still do hiccups every now and then but the main point i aim for is try to have fun regardless of which maps is being played. Do you have any past admin experience? None. Zip nada nothing. I have been offered to be admin in the past years but i have declined them due to reasons i do not wish to disclose. Now with my friends encouraging me to apply and seeing them having success at some degree so i thought it's time for me to apply too. Do you have any other skills like (Mapping, Plugins, Drawing, Video editing etc) While i don't have any knowledge on mapping, plugins, video editing, i do have experience with photoshop. I can make up skins and do logos.

As the title says, I believe that a lot of people here don't know the real reasons of why I got demoted/banned on NiDE, I feel like I should not hide this anymore, I cannot stop thinking about it lately to be honest, I just want to get it out of my mind to focus on my "trash" life and on my studies that I will have electronic exams after 2 weeks from now for the last year of school which I was supposed to finish 15 months ago. First, I will begin with telling a bit of myself for those who never had the chance to meet me before or interact with me at least: My real name is Mohammed, I am 18 years old (born in 2006), and I currently live in Gaza. I used to be an admin here back in time in 2019-2023, I retired multiple times but I still stayed a major part of the community. I used to create maps for the community, made around 20 maps for the zombie revival server and 2 maps for the zombie escape one, you probably have played on either of them or both (ze_dolly_temple_fixed1 and ze_polyglot), honestly, they are not the best maps, but at least some people enjoy it and have fun on it which is what pleases me. even now, people still play it and I am happy for it. I also used to and still make plugins for CS:S in general, something i am dedicated into and I have the dedication to continue with this despite everything happened. I don't consider myself as a good programmer but I am still learning and I am self-teaching myself. And I am trying to improve myself for the better. What exactly happened in 2023? and how I got demoted? I got the chance to get promoted to a CS:S ZR Server Manager in 2023, April, though I was a ZE Server Admin but this is not an excuse for all things that happened, I was chosen to make changes on the ZR server, to "revive" it as it was dead that time. I am not taking any credit for reviving it or anything I am only sharing my story with everyone, alright, moving on... I started the new job and I was excited since I was dreaming of becoming a higher-up on NiDE. It might sound silly for some, but it was actually one of my dreams in my life. I made some changes and made a lot of them, we got some good results in 2023 May, but I was still not happy about the server's situation, I wanted to make bigger changes related to the core gameplay settings such as Prop Jump (where you can jump off a crate while you are in the air and it is an "exploit" btw), the crazy bhop and some unfair zombie skins which had crazy bhop settings like speed and shits. I also wanted to change the sv_airaccelerate value to something lower (like 200), unfortunately, all my ideas were denied without giving them a chance, I had to force change a few things on the server and some people turned out to be unhappy about the changes, I rage quit a lot of times to be honest, I was so pissed off that I wanted to revive the server but some of my ideas were not really implemented. Things got harder for me when Hobbitten decided to have 2 more LSAs who were opposing all the changes I wanted to make, I thought it was enough of me on that server, I think i did what was required of me. I asked for a demotion to a regular zombie escape admin just like before. My shitty start with the "WAFG" community which caused all these problems that I am facing right now. After I asked for the demotion, I had been a server manager on ZR for 4 months, I honestly was more into ZR that time, and I even started on NiDE as a ZR Player/Admin until later in 2021 where I switched to ZE. I just wanted to manage a "ZR" server as I had more interests with this gamemod that time, alright, that time there were only two ZR servers alive, NiDE's and WAFG's But wait, What is WAFG? Well, they are a Deathmatch community and they had one zombie revival server, the owner of that community used to be a nide player and used to be our friends back in time, but I admit that he was not our friends that time, so before I reached out to him, I wanted to solve the problems between him and NiDE. I got him to contact hobbitten and I guess they "solved" the problems between each other. and I told hobbitten that I want to be a manager on their ZR server and he didn't mind at all. The owner of WAFG created a new server for me to add whatever I want there, (a russian-server, hosted in russia). After he gave me the ftp access, I instantly started to add NiDE ZR files (I had a backup of them before), I had all files, literally, including all passwords to databaes/admins/rcon, I didn't pay attention to any of that, and after the upload was finished, the owner of WAFG blocked me and It was more of a scam, when I realized that, I reached out to Rushaway as fast as possible and told him to change all passwords (only ZR was affected), and therefore I lost all my access to nide servers (I had access to dev/test servers that time), I respected their decision and I could not really show my face to anyone, I didn't get demoted, NiDE staff were really kind to me so they kept me as a part of NiDE which is what I still appreciate till now. I decided to not go online for a few days/weeks, and honestly I was doing that, It had been 2 days for me without getting online, but it was a MISTAKE, I connected to steam while internet was on and I saw an incoming friend request, yep, it was from the WAFG owner, apologizing to me that he did what he did, and he wanted to give me the server ftp again to start working on it all over again, I hesitated at first, but I got brainwashed and I was really young that time (I was literally still 16), I was not that mature, and I was so sensitive about literally everything. I got excited like a retard and started adding nide zr files again, I didn't want to create the exact same server but more of a Zombie Riot Mix server, I shared the server's ip with rushaway and he connected to it, he found out that I was using private plugins (which I didn't know about), he told me about them and I deleted them, but then after a few minutes, I got demoted from NiDE which is well deserved from my pov, I did a lot of shits before and NiDE staff gave me a lot of chances, I "didn't" care that much about since I was excited about yay, I am managing a server now kind of excitement, but little did I know, I would be here again begging to get unbanned from the community I spent my childhood on. The explanation of why I got banned I still stayed as a player on NiDE and I didn't get banned, On October 7th 2023, a war started in my city (and still on till now), my life started to go downhill and is still going downhill, I had to leave my house in the first week of the war and I could not ever come back to it until late Jan this year (2025). I won't forget that NiDE staff checked up on me a lot of times during the war, and they were asking if I was okay or not, That's really appreciated, almost all nide staff were checking up on me. I didn't really realize that WAFG (the community I was a part of) had all these nide staff/players banned. I mean, sure, I was only aware of some of ZR players who were problematic but I didn't know about others. I went though times that I could not access internet for a long time, whatever. When I finally got back to my home, I felt something was missing, NiDE, yes. In march 2025, I joined nide discord again and wanted to join the ZE server after not playing it for a very very long time, I honestly wanted to open a new page with everyone on nide, but one day I was literally offline and I opened discord and found out that I got banned on both NiDE Discord Server and Game servers. I don't really know what happened, but it was because WAFG (the community I was a part of) as I said above banned a lot of nide staff/players, nide wanted to do the same, I respected that decision, and I acted a little bit like a kid during that situation, but I promise I was not really targeting anyone. I honestly tried my best to get everyone from nide unbanned from WAFG, but I was failing all the time, I decided that I will leave WAFG to have a chance to come back to NiDE, in 2025 May, I made an unban appeal here, which unfortunately got rejected without even taking its time for others to share their opinions, I hope this thread will have some people sharing their opinions unlike the last one. I was honestly so pissed off, but I was not really planning anything to hurt nide. the WAFG owner was still friends of me (and still), he knew that I asked for demotion on WAFG to come back to NiDE, when he "found out" that Rushaway denied my appeal, he instantly banned all other nide staff and a lot of nide's regular players, I was like wtf, why tf would you do something like that. I was against this and I tried multiple times to get everyone unbanned during my time on WAFG, almost 2 months ago I asked for demotion again on WAFG, for the same purpose as before, and here I am, making another unban appeal. I attacked the NiDE Personal-Skins website After my unban appeal got rejected, honestly I was so pissed off and something inside myself wanted me to do something as "revenge". Though, I never had the intention to hurt my childhood's community, but in either way I think I did. After I did what I did (deleting all personal skins nide had), I came to Anwar (LSA on ZE) and told him about it, Anwar is loyal to nide which is what I really understand and respect, I told him not to tell anyone that I attacked the personal-skins website, but he could not remain silent about it and told others about it (again, which is what I encourage everyone here to do, do not let anyone hurt what you love and what you are loyal to) My brain got damaged a lot in my life, I went through the toughest times anyone could ever in in the new world, literally, everything in me changed, my maturity, my brain, my acts, everything, And I am trying to solve everything that got damaged during these tough times. War is not an excuse for everything I did, but it had a major part of why I did them. Apologizing again... I am trying my last chance to apologize and start a new page with everyone here, especially @ .Rushaway , @ ire , @ Hobbitten , Boss and Cmer. I am truly sorry for all bad things I caused, I know, it will be hard or nearly impossible for any of you to accept my apology, but I believe in humanity and I believe that everyone deserves another chance (even though I wasted all the chances I got) Starting with Rushaway: No one has any idea how much this dude works on the server, despite he is an adult and has a family to take care of, but he really put a lot of his time to make NiDE enjoyable and to make everyone have the best experience I know I upset you so much before, I know I caused you a lot of problems, I am here again to make things right and I won't disappoint you, I really enjoyed spending every single time with you on the Discord DM, or anywhere else even though you are probably 11 years older than me, but age is just a number anyways, It was really nice that I had the chance to meet you man Ire: This finnish guy is an incredible person. like, he has a sense of humor and always wants to make sure that everyone on NiDE to have the best experience or fun they could get. Alright, ire, I hope things are going well for you and your family, I know I caused you a lot of troubles and shits on the ZR server during my manager period, and I was like so selfish that I wanted to make changes on my own way without getting your approval, I really miss talking with you man, making of fun of english killers, somalian players and much more, I sent you some messages on our DM, but you never responsed, I guess you are still so mad at me, but I hope this topic changes your opinion, I respect everything that you did, really, I also might have said some bad words about you (e.g. shit manager and things like this) but man, as I said above, I was literally so pissed off because of how the server turned to be, I know I don't have any right to say what I said, and you owe me an apology or even more than an apology and I am ready for anything really. Hobbitten: This dude is a hardworking danish fag, those who don't respect him should be killed tbh, well hobb, I know I know I let you down many times before, I disappointed all of NiDE staff and especially you since you were so believing in me, I really miss the old times when you were fapping in voice chat (Hmm, ye) and mapping like a danish idiot, Thank you for all the good times we had with each other. Boss & Cmer: I didn't have the chance to interact a lot with you guys, but I know that you both are frenchies, which is the best thing, and you've put so much hard work on the community, you two will always be unforgettable, thank you for everything. My words are not enough to get my apology accepted, or literally anything really, but I still have a bit of hope that I will get another chance. If i got rejected again then tbh, I will consider quitting CS:S and probably switch to cs2, I have nowhere else to go, no community on CS:S interests me tbh (only NiDE does) since as I said it is my childhood community and I want to make things right for what I did. Things I wanted to point out before ending this long ass thread.... I am ready to receive any kind of punishment if I had a chance to get unbanned, I will prove myself again that I deserve another chance. Do not forget that I went through a lot of tough times, as I said it is not an excuse for what I did, but I got damaged a lot especially my brain. I have left the WAFG community to get a chance here. I still have interests with coding for ZE servers especially NiDE, I am working on plugins from time to time. Plesae do not instantly close this thread, let others share their opinion if anyone would give a fu*k anyways I am serious about everything I said in this topic and I am not stepping back 1: My ingame name: Dolly 2: My SteamID: STEAM_0:0:530464029 3: Name of the admin involved: No one 4: What server did it happen on: General 5: Map: General 6: Time and date: doesn't have a specific date 7: Explanation of the situation: explained above Thank you for reading this long ass thread, (if you did) Love from Dolly, Regards,

No one cares about your all's shared grievances. @ Pantcake and anyone really, how about stop throwing baseless accusations and interpretation on out of context messages. And stop harassing the admins and let them focus on their admin/server stuff instead of having to deal with this shit-posting. Regardless the whole situation, admins should just stick to the server rules. If the rules are vague, compromise and revise your rules so this doesn't happen again. Everything else is pointless drama. End of story Just play the game and let admins be more present on the server than here

Ingame Nickname: flushr Discord username: pleiades (flushr_) Age: 26 SteamID: STEAM_0:0:542462996 What server are you applying for (ZR or ZE server?): ZE Optional: (Feel free to answer one or more questions) Why are you interested in applying for admin? I’ve been reluctant to apply for a very long time because I do not feel that this position of admin should be taken lightly. Admins should strive to appear as a role model for others, someone who elevates the player experience and ensures everyone is enjoying their time on the server. You could say I always thought that I lacked the maturity for something like this, but at the end of the day, it’s just a game, so why not? The last line makes it seem like I’m going into this with a half-assed mentality, but I’ll make sure to try and keep everyone as mentally comfortable as possible. I know that I might not click with some of the higher-ups, I know I might come off as someone childish or as someone who's emotionally driven, but I know as well that I am not a power hungry person and never was, and I’m certain that I can make level-headed decisions in a way that reflects positively on the administration, so I’d like to turn a new page in regards of my behavior. What time zone are you active in (NA or EU hours)? I’m available most of the day given my current freelancing status :’). So, you can expect to find me on the server during either time zone. Although I lean more towards late EU hours. How long have you been playing on the server which you applied for? I have been playing on the server for approximately 6 years now. I started the journey as a nosteam player during 2019 before buying the game and playing legit. Most of my CS:S playtime is on the server, so probably 5k-ish hours (talk about a no lifer huh). How experienced are you in the gamemode for which you applied? Even after many years of playing, I still do not picture myself as a good player; I consider myself just an average run of the mill ZE player. You won’t see me winning laser maps left and right, but I enjoy trying at least. In regards of experience though, I have played most of the maps at least once. I enjoy playing anything as long as it isn’t the same old. I like trying new maps, even if they were subpar or 20 years old, so you can say I have a decent grasp and understanding of the game mode. Do you have any past admin experience? Do you have any other skills like (Mapping, Plugins, Drawing, Video editing etc) Sadly I have 0 prior admin experience, but I interacted with many admins throughout the years and had many friends go through this endeavor; therefore, I know more or less what my duties and responsibilities are, and what is expected from me in general as an admin. I’m currently a junior software developer (precisely web solutions), and I’m keen on learning anything tech-related because, at the end of the day, it is my passion as an IT graduate. So I would be happy to help with anything if needed.

I'm going to keep this short. This is a gaming community, not a political and religious discussion forum. If you want to discuss such topics with your friend, you are free to do so anywhere else but the server. Many players do not feel comfortable with the things you say and post, and this is not the first time this has happened. If you do not want to talk to the player, you are by all means free to use !sm or mute him from the game menu. But if that's too much for you to do then expect to receive shit talk from players who you offend. Consider this your final warning. Any further instances of you intentionally using controversial sprays or discussing sensitive topics that make others uncomfortable will result in punishment.

Ingame Nickname: Subaru Natsuki Discord username: Subaru Natsuki Age: 23 SteamID: STEAM_0:1:511611490 What server are you applying for (ZR or ZE server?): Zombie Escape Why are you interested in applying for admin? : I’ve been part of this community for a long time and I really enjoy helping players—whether it’s explaining the map objectives, assisting new players with commands, or keeping the game fair and fun. I want to contribute more by making sure the server stays friendly and well-moderated. What time zone are you active in (NA or EU hours) : I'm mostly active during NA hours (6:00 PM~9:00 AM Central European Time), but I do join EU sessions occasionally How long have you been playing on the server which you applied for? : I first joined the server in early 2019, initially as a casual player lurking with limited activity due to real-life commitments. Over time, I became much more active and engaged with the community, and I’ve been playing here consistently for a long period, enjoying every moment. How experienced are you in the gamemode for which you applied? : I am highly experienced in the gamemode, with excellent knowledge of ZE maps, items, and strategies. I am familiar with leading teams through different scenarios, understanding item usage and timing, and adapting strategies based on the map and player situation. My experience allows me to guide both new and veteran players effectively, ensuring rounds are organized and enjoyable for everyone. Do you have any past admin experience? : Yes. I have prior admin experience, having served as an administrator on a CS 1.6 (ze)server for approximately 1 year, and on a Sven Co-op server for around 3 years. These roles involved player management, enforcing rules, and maintaining a fair and enjoyable environment for the community. Do you have any other skills like (Mapping, Plugins, Drawing, Video editing etc)? : im good at detecting issues i cannot fix xd, and also ripping model from other games/engines. thanks for reading n have a nice day/night :3

We have imposed another restriction on you because the last one expired and we have noitced that you continued griefing props of other people etc. If you will continue, the next time you will just get a ban on the server, instead of just restriction to props.

I would like to add a small note. I received a report regarding: Harassing players and admins, even on the forums Asking for personal data/information This is unacceptable. This will be your only warning. The next punishment will result in you being placed under full content moderation, including in-game, for 6 months.

Honestly I don't think I'm active enough to merit admin, though others may believe that I am. With that being said, I'm very much want to help see css zombie escape grow and I feel the helping nide is the best chance I have of achieving that goal. This is the ze server I play on the most and I truly love late night na nights and feel that it's some of the best ways to spend my time. I ideally want to help the server grow and not continue to lose players. What time zone are you active in (NA or EU hours)? 99% of the time NA 1% EU How long have you been playing on the server which you applied for? Since before .gg idk 8 years? How experienced are you in the gamemode for which you applied? I am unfamiliar with a lot of newer maps made within the last 5 years and frankly dislike a lot of modern laser solo maps (but surf outside and maps like that are very cool, or stardust battleground). I'm most experienced with casual maps though I'm also a tryhard for certain maps like Minas, lms, and even mako. Do you have any past admin experience? I have played and administrated a lot of ze servers in both css and csgo. I've previously been an admin at this server, gfl css, gfl csgo, and Syndicate gamers. I may need to brush up on my admin commands and on the current culture (i.e. I'm pretty pro micspam and autism and I know I would have to mute / be less tolerant as an admin) Do you have any other skills like (Mapping, Plugins, Drawing, Video editing etc) I used to make youtube videos, so a little bit of editing.

Hello dear ZR-Admin-Team. I have made a Video for you out of boredom and play a few Weeks and The editing had taken 2 days so that even more players come. Hope you like it made advertising for the server.

to all nide.gg members a merry Christmas all the best friends , and have a good year 2025

I'm tired of giving this dude leader. He will literally lead a team of 3 people who are AFK. His determination to lead even the smallest of teams is admirable. Give this man leader!!! @Atom.ic

History has been made on this day, I would like to thank everyone for joining and contributing to making NiDE the first server to beat the Infinite mode on CS:S. In just 6 months since the map was ported from CS:GO. This victory would never have been possible without Sunman, @ toasty and @ mini , and I really want to thank them for taking the time to lead each session and teaching the players how to play what's probably the most random map in ZE.

I retired around the start of the year due to pressure and stress from real-life committments, resulting in lack of time for playing ZE, in addition to burnout from the gamemode. Do you have any other skills like (Mapping, Plugins, Drawing, Video editing etc) I have previously made low effort memes for friends in private, and at one point opened Hammer to try and create a map for the ZE mapping contest (I still need to do that! ). I have also previously hosted private servers for my friends and have previously run community events on this server.

Hello @ I love potatoes , Thanks for the report. I watched the demo and from what I could see, Zlatino was indeed harassing you and some other players who started self-muting him. We would like to remind everyone that harassment, in any form, has no place on NiDE. We take it very seriously and do our best to maintain a respectful and safe environment for all players. As a result, Zlatino has been silenced for a day. Feel free to report any behaviour that goes against the rules in the future. We hope you continue to enjoy your time on NiDE.

Reply from management: After carefully reviewing the situation regarding Koen, the management has decided not to apply any sanctions against him. We have taken into account the context, the explanations provided, as well as the fact that Koen was not aware of the other person’s age at the time, and that he immediately acknowledged his mistake, deleted the message, and apologized as soon as he was informed. We would like to remind everyone that the official minimum age for using Discord is 13, and for playing Counter-Strike: Source it is 16. However, it remains important to exercise caution and respect in all interactions, especially when the age of others is not clearly established. Even without bad intentions, certain comments or jokes can be misinterpreted by other members. We encourage everyone to be thoughtful and responsible in their communications. The safety and well-being of all members remain our top priority. We remain attentive to the community and encourage everyone to report any inappropriate behavior. Thank you for your understanding. My personal POV: If Scripting felt harassed/uncomfortable, he could have contacted any staff member, like any member can do. If you don't like the current management methods, no one forces you to stay here. Feel free to create your own community and manage it the way you want. I personally don't care about the point of view of people who have a long history of punishments on NiDE.

Hello @ Pantcake , Thank you for taking the time to write a complete report, and appreciate you including your own background to provide context to others the relationship we had prior to this. I would like to address your report and provide clarification on several matters. First, I want to state that I had no intentions on having scripting send any images at all. The intention of my message was meant to be a joke to play along with the conversation. Scripting was already labeled as a "femboy" by several other members of the community, so I sent the message asking for "thigh high pics" as a joke. In retrospect, it was an inappropriate message to send to someone underage, and I fully recognize the seriousness of my messages and the negative connotations it carries. Attached below is a screenshot of Script1ng being associated with femboys, which led me to send the messages in question: Given the explanation above, I would like to state that I have also never reached out to scripting privately to ask for pictures. I have uploaded a transcript of my private messages with scripting, which you can download here. For full transparency, the messages were exported using Discrub, and no external modifications/edits were done after downloading the chat logs. Scripting himself can also attest to the fact that I have never reached out to him privately further asking for pictures. So besides the message that was sent on the Nide Discord server, no further inappropriate messages were sent. When you reached out to me privately, I owned up to sending the inappropriate messages in the screenshots that Snail had provided in his document. I want to clarify that I was unaware of Scripting's actual age. I had incorrectly assumed that he was overage given how he has played ZE for several years at the time of the messages, shown maturity when dealing with other players, as well as discussing mature topics like "femboy" many times. I had seen scripting for a while, way before I joined Nide as a server manager as he was a frequent CS:GO ze player that traveled other servers. It was because of these factors that I had assumed he was overage. It was only shortly after sending the messages that a player let me know that scripting was underage, and hence why I immediately deleted my messages, backtracked on my inappropriate joke, and apologized to him. I am an emotional and social person that very often speak what is on my mind without any filter. You can attest to this behavior since my days on Zeddy's many years ago, and is also why I had gotten in trouble many times there for speaking my mind. Given my reasoning stated prior, I had incorrectly assumed scripting was overage, and I then proceeded to make a joke based on the situation without ever considering the impression it gives nor the actual age of Scripting. It was fully my mistake for assuming a person's age and making jokes/comments that are inappropriate to talk about, and I will own up to this. First, the message asking for thigh high pics was meant to be a joke. Talking about thigh highs is a meme in of itself ("programmer socks" as referred by the internet), and the messages that were sent in Chinese is also a joke in the Chinese ze scene given how many actual femboys there are. I'm not going to deny that the message being sent as a joke, without context, is completely inappropriate and can make other people feel uncomfortable. However, I am making it clear that I had no ill intentions with my message besides it being a joke to poke fun at scripting being associated with femboys. Second, as mentioned in Snail's document, I admit to being a degenerate. I have done ERP before and cracked made many sexual jokes with people before. Many people across several communities can attest to my open-minded and no-filter nature to crack sex jokes given the opportunity as part of my way of socializing. Because I always treated it as a joke, I never gave any second thought to how others would feel about my comments, nor did I ever stop to consider the negative connotations and impressions my messages would give off. I understand that while I am overly social and perverted with my comments, I need to be careful with the things I say and who I say it to. I never had any intentions to hurt anyone as I want nothing but to make people smile and laugh with my dumb jokes. Third, I want to clarify that I always viewed Zombie Escape, and online communities in general as a way to socialize with people. There was a time when I would treat ZE seriously and focus on playing the game, I have shifted my mentality to more of a social game to hang out and have fun. Hence why I do not feel any shame in befriending people and cracking similar sex jokes and inappropriate comments. I understand that many people do not view the game the same way, but that is how I view the game and why I would make said comments. The lesson I learned here, and have made strides to improve on since the first report months ago, was that I need to be careful with the things I say and do in public. While I these jokes may be funny to few, I need to realize that there are times and places where such comments are completely inappropriate. I should also be careful with who I say these things to, as some may either be underage or uncomfortable with what I say. I will take full responsibility for my actions, and own up to the criticisms that many have expressed towards me. I acknowledge in being immature and a degenerate, and will aim to continue improving myself. I want to first apologize to you @ Pantcake as my actions shattered your perception of me, and that I had betrayed your trust. It was never my intentions to betray you, but I understand where you are coming from with your comments. I enjoyed the memories we shared on Zeddy's years prior, and feel ashamed that this is how we reconnect years later. I always viewed you as a reasonable person, so I will take your criticisms to heart and will work to improve on. I'm sorry for everything, and I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me one day for my actions. I also wanted to apologize to @ Hobbitten for how things were handled on Nide. The clear lack of maturity from my end is clear from both this case and the prior case concerning a banned player. I understand that my actions have led to many issues in the community, and have put a strain on the relationship between the Nide management team and the players. I will take responsibility for my actions and submit myself to any disciplinary actions management has for me. I understand the things that happened were my fault, and I fully own up to the things I have outlined. Lastly, I want to apologize to the rest of the Nide community, and really the entire Zombie Escape community, if my actions and words have ever made anyone uncomfortable. I never had any ill intention to hurt someone, and only ever cared about befriending everyone while keeping a funny mood. I now understand that not everyone sees things the same way as I do, and I have taken this lesson of thinking before saying/doing to my heart. I will work on improving myself as a person, and hope people can forgive me.

@ Yami Barely just started playing on the server and you wanted to do it for zr not ze... So i consider you dont even read your own application... Application Denied

Hello @ Bananananana unfortunately, your appeal has been denied. First of all i need to remind you, that even if its your younger brother, that younger then you like 1 year, definitely missing something in education, and it`s not right to do that, been 18. Secondly. Even if its your brother, doesn`t relieve your responsibility, from doing anything to prevent such accident. Third. We don`t have any evidence of you having brother at all, only from your words. Tho we seen many times of you harrashing our players on both servers, even after countless time of warning from sv admins, so whenever you crossed the line, you probably realized, you have to create a legend you have a brother, to escape or avoid the punishment. P.S: Screenshots of your private messages will not be posted due its private. But i`m pretty sure, you understand seriousness of that accident. Appeal Denied Topic closed.

Sup you c*nts My name is jmcss(Used to be called NotPogchamp) Im 16 years old and ive been playing on nide since early 2021 I played ze for the first time back in 2018, i used to go on a computer shop who had css installed in every pc they had. I stopped playing at the same year and came back in 2020 where i first played in unloze. I stopped playing ze in css for a bit and played ze in csgo gfl. I moved back again to css since my pc was too laggy for csgo at that time and discovered nide.gg and supreme elites. Now i just play here a lot on nide and sometimes other servers.

Hello Saber, I reviewed the evidence and demo and concluded that the ban was justified. You were seen tossing pistols at the player attempting to pick up the item. We have banned players for intentionally tossing to mess with the person trying to pick up items, so this is no exception. An experienced player like you should know how difficult it is to pick up items when someone is tossing pistols at you, so that is why the punishment was put in place. The length of your punishment was based on your history. Regarding the other points, this punishment and report are about you and not others. If you have seen others tossing pistols, bhop scripting, or abusing donated admin, you are more than welcome to report them on the forums. Unfortunately, we are human and may miss people trolling, so we appreciate people who help us and report said offenders. Also, for future appeals and reports on the forums, we would appreciate it if you followed the format and gave us all the information we ask for. It saves us much time and helps speed up the review process. Future reports/appeals from you with missing information may get discarded without warning. I hope this clears everything up.

Are you seriously defending pedophilia ? You should follow the most important rules of the server, use your common sense. For you information: this NOT something normal to have/watch/share images of young people half/semi/fully naked. On the next issue with you we will share every logs we have of you and your personal data to the authorities of your countries. The spray ban will stay. The mutes/gag will stay. Change your retard clan tag until I ban the whole steam group. Ask yourself thr good question. Maybe you need to contact your doctor and explain him you have a problem by having attraction to young nsfw content. Topic closed. Be happy to not be fully banned.

Thank you all for the nice comments. You will be seeing me around and hopefully I will also be seeing you guys active on the server. You are the reason we still have a community and that is something we never thank you enough for. After this weekend I will no longer have any permissions.

Hi @ ADS , It is true that I extended the map, but there is a context behind all this; the server was dead all day and when we started playing Westersand, there were only 8 players. And most of them didn't know what to do on the map, which caused us to waste a lot of time. Then the server started to fill up little by little and we began to win the first stages. So, when we were short on time, I thought it would be nice to extend the map at least for the players who had been there from the beginning with me and had made efforts to reach the God Mode. But I understand that you can't be aware of that as a player who sits in spec until the last stage on laser maps. I apologize if it was an abuse that made your experience terrible on NiDE. As you can see on this screen, we eventually won the map and the server had nearly 50 players. Based on your hlstatsx details, you enjoy playing laser maps a lot and Westersand is your favorite map on NiDE. I thought players like you would be pleased with that decision but It looks like I was wrong. And I'm deeply sorry for that :^( For the second part of your post about the supposed troll from Haziwa, here's what actually happened. He attempted to turn back and use earth on the zombies but he failed. Haziwa only has 3 ebans in 2 years despite being an active player on NiDE. Maybe it wasn't smart to use the earth first, I give you that, but that move is anything but a troll. It's what we call a mistake. And everyone makes them because nobody's a perfect player. It is not something that is likely to happen to you since the only times you take an item such as electro is to use it on the lasers and block everyone's vision. And finally about the yek on Cosmo, I have applied what I mentioned here. Given that we won the map and there was still one round left, the players asked me if they could yek and I said yes. Maintenant pour ce qui est de la partie en français, on va mettre les choses au clair. Je déteste les trollers et toi-même tu le sais. T'es venu sur Cosmo, il y avait une bonne vibe, absolument tout le monde défendait. T'es resté en spec comme d'habitude et quand t'as rejoint, non seulement t'avais 0 dmg jusqu'à la fin du stage mais t'as aussi early trigger ce qui a tué presque toute la team à l'exception d'un joueur. Et tu peux même voir que vous avez failli manquer le vaisseau vu qu'il était sur le point de partir. Mais le plus gros problème dans tout ça c'est que tu te rends pas compte de ton comportement, je vais éviter de nommer des joueurs ici mais t'es pas si différent des gens qui font tout pour troller le maximum de joueurs en espérant qu'ils solo des maps et partagent leurs screenshots dont tout le monde se fout en 2025. Tu te plains de harcèlement alors que t'as fait subir pire à 2 admins dont un qui a réellement été affecté par ce que t'as pu dire sur lui en public sur le serveur. D'où le fait que tu as un gag permanent depuis quelques semaines, tu trouves pas qu'il y a un problème quelque part ? Même si j'ai pas à me justifier pour Maso, sache que j'ai été celui qui l'a blacklisté du donated admin vu qu'il faisait absolument rien de bon avec. Crois-le ou non, j'essaie d'être juste avec tout le monde, que ce soit avec des gens que j'apprécie ou pas. Pour ce qui est du reste concernant mon ban permanent et l'affaire sur PayPal, je vais pas m'éterniser là-dessus, j'ai fait une erreur, je l'ai reconnue et je m'en suis excusé. Maintenant, si tu veux parler de plus de choses qui n'ont absolument rien à voir avec le report de base, fais-toi plaisir. I will leave the final decision to one of the LSAs or a higher-up.

Name : `Luffy. Recently, I have noticed that the ZE server is dying because of certain maps. I’m writing this text to tell the staff to keep an eye on this issue and do something about it. Not in my 10 years of playing ZE have I ever seen such a thing. The main problem starts with some certain players, which I call them a cult, that include they FCS clan, specifically Amina, Almaa, Kotya and some others once in a while, and some russians outside FCS such as kotofey, SonOfSerp, Mercenary, mako player(from ARE) etc. These people I mentioned, they nominate maps as soon as the nominations are unlocked, leaving others without nominating their maps, owning like 5/7 of the nomlist usualy. Okay, ppl can nominate their own maps and whatever, but this case is very repeated, and this is not the main issue. The main issue is that the maps they nominate, are maps like nemesis nide 1/2, immortal flame, offliner, surf charge, dodge or die, simpsons ETC. 90% of the time, the people i earlier mentioned end up winning the maps and im assuming that they offline them, based on screenshots they have on offlining such laser maps, based on the fact that its them always and based on the fact that theyve joined css ze recently. i dont have a big issue with them offlining, but nominating such shitty maps every day so they can show off on laser skills, makes the gameplay a boring routine thus players leave resulting in a dead server. All im asking you guys on this topic is to take action, nom ban them, warn them, ban them, i dont know, give more cooldown to such maps, whatever. I know what im saying is against their rights, but they shouldn’t abuse with nominations and spamming on the mic. I expect ppl say that i spam aswell during votes, but i do that for more playable maps, Im sorry i didnt follow any templates for this topic, but consider it a serious one and PLEASE take it in consideration, coz its becoming disgusting. Thank you for your attention!
