Structure

Ranks

Finances

The community uses the proprietary software "Prometheus" found on the Garry's Mod store for collecting donations. It acts as a backend connecting a database to 1 or many Garry's Mod servers while simultaneously providing a front-end for customers to make purchases.[4][5]

Purchasable items are separated by gamemode. There are presently 4 categories: Trouble in Terrorist Town, Murder, Prop Hunt, and Death Run.[6] Each category allows the customer to purchase PointShop[b] points, Premium[c] points, and/or the in-game rank of "Donor" (which includes PointShop and Premium points). All purchases are 1-time. The rank of Donor notably grants access to the commands gag, mute,[d] and kick in-game.[7] The use of these commands are subject to guidelines set-forth by the management team in-charge of each game mode, with players capable of reporting violations to a dedicated forum board.[8][9]

The total income received, or how it is appropriated, is not disclosed. Matters relating to issues from donating are handled by Dinkleberg directly.[4]

Footnotes

  1. Derived from the oldest message available on the Discord server.
  2. A popular Garry's Mod addon that allows players to accumulate server-specific currency ("points") based on playtime and in-game actions. Points can then be spent on things which server owners configure. Traditionally these include player models, increased chances for desirable roles in a gamemode, etc.
  3. A special variation of "points". Usually obtained via donating real-world money and can be used to purchase more exotic customization or in-game benefits.
  4. A "gag" disables use of voice chat for the player. A "mute" disables use of text chat for the player.
