Q: Hey Jiggly! Is that really you???
A: Yep.
Q: Hey Jiggly! How old are you?
A: Too old for Pokemon, that's for sure.
Q: You have admins? Yeah RIGHT! Who?
Q: Can I have rcon access? Can I be an admin? I play EVERY DAY! Keep in mind that I get tons of these emails every week, so the odds of me buying your story is against you. Your best bet to getting noticed by me or the admins is to play frequently and play like you normally do. Even if I'm not physically in the TFC game, I'm still watching...
Note: I think the folks at Girl Power TFC said it best:
"Basically the short answer to "can i be an admin" is tough luck... we almost always have enough admins at any given time Each were selected for various reasons by the server operator. The senior admin or server operator are the only persons who will issue admin status to a player. If you continually bug any admin about being an admin you will immediately be barred from consideration! Yeah but how do I get on your good site? Some of the things we look for are: Your personality, pacience, ablity to help others(namely noobies) with questions. Other things are just as important like the amount of time you spend on the GP server, Your technical abilities, You abilities to follow directions, and I personally look for admins that dont really want to be admins. So if you place on the server almost everyday almost every week, your nice to people, make friends with people, are team oriented, are reasonablity aware of how to use your computer, your timing is just right, and we notice you.. you may be asked for your email address and asked to become an admin. Let me say this one more time.. if you ask and admin if you can be admin your chances are cut by 1/2 of ever becoming admin..There is nothing another admin hates more then anwser that same question over and over again."

Misc. Notes
Q: What's the forum "VIP" code and why the hell do I need to enter one?
A: Jigglypuff, Kmart Shopper, Saint Thoth, Suicidal Sniper, myevilplans.com, [EFF]Defender, Kurt Jr. '94, Iron Legionaire, Robert, Chonkeydom, Houdini, Black Sun
A: No. I have a strong belief that people that go out seeking power often abuse it. You can interpret that however you like,
but sending me an email about this isn't going to help you at all. Of course, there is the rare breed of person that isn't
in it for the power, the wanting to change the server physics, or to mess with the gameplay. These people can easily take
verbal beatings from noobs, llamas, or the occasional veteran that acts like a llama with a different alias so that they won't tarnish their good name. They shrug it off. These people play just for the fun of it, and can keep their cool in the face of overwhelming hostility, and remove others from the server as a LAST resort(No offense to the reader, but I just ruled out almost everyone under 18 years of age). If you truly believe inside that you are only in it for the good of the Jigglyroom community, its players, and love of gaming but not for self gain, email me.
A: Please refer to this.
A: No, no.
A: No. The Jigglyrooms have always used only standard maps, no custom maps. Most people don't have them, are too impatient to wait, and that's the reason why most of the JRs are almost always full. You don't have to worry about missing all the action while a map downloads.
A: The concept of "chasing" the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. A robber goes into a bank and flees with a sack full of cash (the flag). You're a cop and you see the bank robber flee. You're not gonna stand there and just watch him run with the loot, are you??? Just mentioning something like chasing a year ago in a TFC server was grounds for ridicule from everyone. Nowadays, it's supposedly a legitimate accusation. I don't know how and why this came about, but chasing has been around forever in every CTF style mod that I've ever known of and it's never been an issue... until now. You call it chasing. Us veterans call it "defense." Live with it.
Hell yes it does. Vote kicking someone out for no reason (or a really stupid reason) is grounds for YOUR removal. Vote
kicking is only to be used WHEN SERIOUS, GAME-HALTING ISSUES ARISE such as door blocking, flag holding,
etc. You don't see me kicking you for spamming/talking shit to me or my admins/chasing/bunny hopping/killing me too many
times. If the server doesn't play by your own brand of rules and you don't like it, then maybe it's time you go somewhere
else... where they accomodate your ideals and playing styles.
A: Do you seriously expect a sniper to stand there and try to take aim at you while you repeatedly attack at close range? If you don't like it that much, write to Valve and ask to have it removed.
A: Pull pin on EMP. Run at target. BOOM!. Problem solved. Alternate solution: Charge sniper rilfe. Aim at head. Pop!
A: Charge your gun for 7 seconds, then AIM FOR THE HEAD. Not the neck, not the upper chest... the head.
A: The reason why I created the Jigglyroom in the first place was because of policies like that. Before there was the JR,
I used to play on a server called Dadaless' TFC (this was almost 3 years ago). His server was pretty much the only game in
town when it came to low latency TFC servers. Dadaless, unfortunately, was a pretty crappy admin. When he played, if you
ever talked trash to him, he'd ban you. If you beat him badly, he'd kick you. If there was a class that consistently
pummelled him, he'd put restrictions on it. He also had a legion of admins that did the exact same thing. Although I was
never a victim of his powertrips, I created the Jigglyroom shortly after because I couldn't stand how he ran that server
and treated other people. Anyways, the point is, I'll never put class restrictions in a game because I want each and every
player to decide how he wants to play TFC, not some admin or admins or a special interest group. I still play from time
to time (of course under aliases) and personally haven't found anything wrong with the current setup. It's pretty easy to
take out almost any sniper. You just have to use your head.
...Yes, and I do find it very annoying when half the team is composed of 1-20 kill/death snipers that all have 500 pings
and are pretty much counterproductive. Of course, I still won't kick them - unless they block a door or something =P
A: I won't disable armor stripping because it's the only thing that makes the spy class viable. Without it, there's no hesitation on the enemy's side to do spy checks on everyone. When you know that you have to check someone and it's going to strip their armor in the process, you're going to be a little hesitant about firing that shot. It's hard enough being a spy...
A: HLDS isn't Starcraft. It doesn't work like that.

A: Hehehe.. can't really answer that. Hookups?
The server is completely nonprofit, and is funded by Jiggly himself. Jiggly owns the box, top to bottom. All it does is run game services, and Jiggly does it for the love of games. It does get pricey at times, ouch. I won't deny that.
No. Sorry, the reason why I've never accepted anything is because of the complications that come with other people "owning" parts of the box. It's like marriage I suppose. At first everything is cool and I'm free to use the hardware with no strings attached, but if a divorce comes along, shit's gonna hit the fan and server ownership disputes are gonna come along. There's also the issue of people wanting something in return like a shell account or rcon access. Sorry, for security reasons, that's unacceptable.
The VIP code is the ol' combination "an idiot would have on his luggage": 12345. It's in place to keep the bot and third-world-labor (Russian) forum spammers out.
