1. GFL Newsletter - April and May 2021
  
  Hello and welcome to the combined April and May newsletter. A very short foreword this time. Sorry for how late it is cause I'm a chaotic dumbass uwu. For this month we have hidden a single Easter egg within the newsletter. Be the first to find it and either message @flamie Alexis (Alexis#9876) or @Salad (Salad#6564) to claim your prize! This section will be updated once there is a winner. Good luck uwu! UPDATE: @Asticar has found the Easter egg and has won 1 month of VIP! - @Dragoon Recently, the election cycle for the Community Representatives (CR’s) who would join Council ended. The winners were @Infra and @Salad. However, in order to change the Council’s member number from 7 to 9, these two were appointed as Members of the Council based on their experience and accomplishments as Staff Members. This position is not elected, and a new appointee will be selected if one of the holders of this position resigns. Because of this fact, it was decided to redo the CR election. Oh, and don’t worry, because this time... We’ve decided to keep the current winners as CR’s! So, let’s take this from the top. Your new Community Representatives are @Shuruia and @BlazingArson Be sure to not only commend everyone listed here, but to also commend everyone who ran for CR. All of them tried their best, and you have to give some respect for that. As for elections, we of the Writing Team will surely be informing you about the next election. It will begin sometime around November 30th, when the current terms for our two current CR’s are complete. - @Dragoon For 10 years, there was a member of our community who had been with us for a long time. However, this member has recently decided to step back of their own accord. This person is @Jekyll. As a longtime member of our community, Jekyll has had a lot of experience in seeing the environment of our community change, from its humble beginnings to the days where GFL has thrived most. Most recently being notable for being a CS:S Division Leader for CS:S, Jekyll has been someone who has had a lot of impact on our community. While it may be a shame to see one’s departure, it is something that must come after one’s arrival. To Jekyll, thank you for being with us for this long of a time, and be sure to make the best of your future. - @Dragoon As Jekyll was not only the Division Leader for C:SS, but also the Server Manager for our Squad Server, we needed to look for a new person to take up the position. So, after searching for potential candidates, it was decided that @John Jeez Man would be the one to take the reins for our Squad server! John has not only been trying to increase the server population, but they also have a plan for doing so as a whole in the future! Remember, this is only the beginning of a plan for making our Squad server one of the most fun places to be in the game. Be sure to join the server not only if you’d like to help out, but also if you’d like to have a good time in general! - @flamie Alexis Our events Team Leader @Serenity has recently decided to step down. We are excited to announce that after a search Serenity has decided to pass the torch to @BlazingArson. They show great leadership abilities and we believe that they will lead the team to the best of their ability. We would also like to show our appreciation for what Serenity has done for the team, being a great and dedicated leader. - @flamie Alexis Due to the mod team’s ever-expanding nature it was decided that a new Co-Team Leader was needed. We are excited to announce that this new Team Leader is @Joshy. After seeing him do an excellent job as a senior moderator and we are confident that he will continue to do so as Team Leader, helping the team to grow and thrive even more. - @Salad Recently, our CS:GO Technical Administrator, Ash, decided to resign from his position, thus creating an opening for a high end staff position within our CS:GO Division. Filling that vacancy will be @Infra as co-Division Leader. As FrenZy wrote in his announcement for this promotion, having two Division Leaders is a great way to balance the workload, especially that of such a demanding division like CS:GO. Throughout the last year, Infra has proven himself capable throughout all of his positions, some of which include Surf Timer Admin, KZ Climb Server Manager, Technical Administrator, and Team Leader. As someone who is constantly offering to help whenever and wherever he can, he is no doubt the best person for this position. Join us in congratulating him on CS:GO Division Leader!

2. New Rust & CS:S Division Leaders
  
  This turned out to be one hell of a Sunday. As you might've seen from the title of this thread, we've now promoted two people into the Division Leader position. Starting off with CS:S, we have @Runda taking the reigns. A manager that's been around the community for many years. I originally was not planning on getting CS:S a new DL after Jekyll's departure, but given just how motivated Runda is, it'd be a shame to not give him the opportunity. I also feel good about his future plans for the division. Moving on to Rust, with Creed's departure last week, truth be told we weren't left with many options. That being said, @Dominick987 showed a lot of interest in the role and also approached me about it himself. Much like Runda, Dominick seems incredibly motivated to make his division succeed. Rust desperately needs stability, and I do believe Dominick is the one that's going to deliver it after talking to him. He has a solid gameplan, and I'm very happy about it. I'm looking forward to working with these two, and I feel good about both promotions. So, please join me in congratulating these tryhards on achieving their epic victory royale. Thanks.

4. New CS:GO Division Leader - Infra
  
  Hello everyone. As you might've noticed by the name of the announcement, I've decided to promote @Infra to CS:GO Division Leader. This is something he and I have talked about for the better part of 6 months at this point, and he's had plenty of time to grow during his time with us. I now feel more than comfortable putting him in this position. I've not had as much time as I would have liked in the past couple of months to tend to the division. This is a result of me starting a new full time job in February and not working from home as I had pretty much all of last year. I have no doubt Infra will bring a lot to the table, and I know he's hyped and driven to suceeed in this role. I do feel there's a lot of benefits to having Division Leader duos. Though at this point each division has only had a single DL for a long period of time. I know from experience that this puts a lot of pressure on people in that position. Even with an abundance of capable managers, it can get tough being all on your own at the top. Getting someone that I know I can work with and rely on like Infra is a blessing for me. I picked up on Infra's potential very early on, back when he was just a Surf Timer admin, Ash and I were setting up a KZ server. When we started to discuss the idea of getting a manager for it, Infra struck us both as a solid candidate based on just how motivated he was to help out anywhere he could. He has exceeded all expectations we ever had for him, and I think he will continue this trend in this position and just help push our CS:GO servers to the next level. How we will divide up the work between the to of us is yet to be decided. I will mostly focus on our Surf Timer servers which is almost a separate entity from the remainder of the division at this point. My main priority right now is finishing our expansion to EU. This is something I'll bring Infra into the loop on so that we'll hopefully be able to release all four servers just as I had planned some time during June. I hope you guys are just as glad to see Infra get the role as I am to give it to him. There's no doubt in my mind that he deserves it.

5. Community Representative Elections - Round 2
  
  Hello! Recently, the Council has decided to rearrange the layout of the Council and to add 2 new permanent council positions (in order to get to 9 members as intended). We have decided that the two current community representatives, Salad and Infra, should fill these positions for now. In order to replace the community representatives we have just re-designated, we will be running another election with candidates from the last community representative election. The election will run until May 30, 2021 and the terms of the new community representatives will begin on that date. The rules are the same as the last voting period: You must be a Member or above Your account must be at least 2 months old. You may cast 2 votes. Each vote must go to a different person. Once you have cast a vote, you cannot remove the vote and recast it for a different person. If you're a candidate you may vote (even for yourself), but please remember to act with integrity throughout the process. You may vote here. Thank you and good luck!

7. Passing The Torch - New Event Coordinator Team Leader
  
  Hi everyone. As you already may have seen, Serenity has stepped down from his position as Event Coordinator Team Leader. Because of this, I would like to announce that @BlazingArson will be stepping up into his position as being the new Team Leader for all Event Coordinators. They show great leadership abilities and we believe Arson will lead this team to the best of their ability. Please join me to welcome them into this leadership position! I would like to show appreciation and thank @Serenity for what he has done as leadership for the EC Team. The Queen will never be forgotten. 💗
