#136 My Story With Dashner: A Thread in TF2 General Discussion
GetawhaleSpeiszlet's send some this thread and email the blast team and waveform. get this fucking scum outed and dragged under.
Fully fully on board

After uberchain, we all believed it couldn't happen again.

We were fooled. It happened again. And it could happen again.

EDIT: Word to the wise.. if you're looking at legal action/consequences.. PLEASE pursue them if possible. Last time, his plan was "Lay low until people forget, then work again." It's hard to believe he's learning any lesson. Last time, after the uberchain thread, he came to me in PM saying he was going to be pursuing legal action against her - that is to say.. his immediate reaction was to double down

Completely agree. Even if criminal fails or is otherwise deemed "not viable", there's always civil. This stuff is all so awful and very, very messed up.

taggFlash forward to i58 which i've wanted to vent about sinced it happened. By this time Lange and I were roommates and had sworn off of working for free at events. Dashner messaged me and insisted that he NEEDED my help for a video project that was being shot at the event. After at least a month of him constantly in my DM's I told him i'd only attend if my flight and hotel were covered. He somehow managed to get those covered and I agreed to go. Instantly it turned sour when he was denied at the border and was sent back to Canada. Something people don't fully understand is that working at these international events is against the law. You cannot do work in another country without a proper VISA, we had to lie everytime we went to these events to get through security and it was very dangerous for some members of the production crew. They would be carrying very crucial equipment across borders which raises many eyebrows when you say you're "Just there for fun" while having hundreds of dollars of production gear in your bag. In addition the excuse that "We're not getting paid we're volunteering" does not work because its absolutely absurd, literally outsourcing free labor for events that are for-profit.

I also recall that there were allegations against Valve when it came to The International recommending that people pick up one type of visa when they really needed another, and that if there were issues at the border to be creative and stretch the truth. I want to say it was around the time Bulldog was first denied by CBP or some time during/after the 2GD firing by Gabe but I can't quite pin it down.

#1 CS:GO update for 9/30/19 (10/1/19 UTC) in CS2 General Discussion

Via the CS:GO blog:

Valve[ FRANCE ]

– Introducing the X-ray Scanner for users in France:

— The X-ray Scanner allows users to reveal the item inside any container.
— Each user’s x-ray scanner comes preloaded with a one-time exclusive non-tradable item—the P250 | X-Ray.
— Users in France must first claim this item to use the x-ray scanner again.

In France, every container must first be placed into the X-ray Scanner to reveal the item inside before purchasing a key. The X-ray Scanner will consume the container and reveal the item inside. To use the X-ray Scanner again, the revealed item must be claimed; it is not possible to scan another Container without claiming the revealed item.

In France containers can no longer be purchased from Steam Community Market, but can still be sold.

Rumor has it:

- Here's a clip of X-ray Scanner in action: https://clips.twitch.tv/AuspiciousObservantCheetahFunRun

- This is what the P250 X-Ray Looks like:

- It's part of a special "X-Ray Collection", the set icon of which can be viewed below:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SteamDatabase/GameTracking-CSGO/4768524a88ee06f9f8c7435928434cc01e03a36c/csgo/pak01_dir/resource/flash/econ/set_icons/set_xraymachine.png

- P250 X-Ray's description is as follows: "A custom painted P250 showing its internals with an X-Ray"

- Speaking of containers, reminder: TODAY is your last day to redeem any StarLadder Berlin 2019 souvenir package tokens you still have left over
- To redeem, go to the Watch section, select StarLadder Berlin in Majors, go to Matches, select a match you want one from. Then, click the present box button and confirm that you'd like a souvenir package from that map
