	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 <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/28360-blazingarson/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="28360" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/28360-blazingarson/" rel="">@<span style="color:#f97594">BlazingArson</span></a> 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! 
</p>

<p>

<p>
	 I would like to show appreciation and thank <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/62307-serenity/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="62307" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/62307-serenity/" id="ips_uid_1627_6" rel="">@<span style="color:#f97594">Serenity</span></a> for what he has done as leadership for the EC Team.

<p>
	Hello all,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The Council has opted to remove Flying4ssassin due to a breach of our <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EHb4lCYNi4ZQvk92qUpULJG5beZu-kgJbr-7geSKZ_4/edit#" rel="external nofollow">confidentiality procedures</a>. We do not wish to discuss specifics of the situation at this time as it involves interpersonal disputes between staff and players as well as information that is considered to be internal to <abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr></abbr>.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	As it has not been long since the Community Representative election, we do intend to fill the seat by holding a runoff election. We will announce more details regarding this within the next couple of days.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Please note that harassment of the individuals involved will not be tolerated.</strong>

<p>
	Hello again,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Due to the events of last night, it is necessary that we select a new Community Representative. As such, we will be holding a runoff election between the two remaining candidates, <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/50660-alexis/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="50660" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/50660-alexis/" id="ips_uid_1084_6" rel="">@<span style="color: rgb(114,137,218);">Alexis</span></a> and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/15181-dapainwayne/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="15181" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/15181-dapainwayne/" id="ips_uid_1084_7" rel="">@<span style="color:#45da4a">DaPainWayne</span></a>.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Unlike the standard election, the runoff will be shorter and, due to only needing one more Community Representative, each member will only be able to vote for one of the two options. The election will conclude on <u>December 15, 2021 at 18:00 CT</u>, at which point the person of the aforementioned two with the most votes will become Community Representative. Otherwise, the rules for voting are the same as normal as revised rules are pending council approval:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		You must be a Member or above
	</li>
	<li>
		Your account must be at least 2 months old.
	</li>
	<li>
		You have just one vote to cast.
	</li>
	<li>
		Once you have cast a vote, you cannot remove the vote and recast it for a different person.
	</li>
	<li>
		If you're a candidate you may vote (even for yourself), but please remember to act with integrity throughout the process.'
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	You may view the candidates' campaign posts and cast your vote <a href="https://gflclan.com/crvoting" rel="">here</a>.

<p>
	I am pleased to announce our brand new addition to our CS:GO Division. Due to the hard work of staff and players alike, <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> Surf is in the early stages of a massive overhaul - namely, the near tripling of the current map pool. Our hope is to expand and have more diversity, and we did not feel that our former system did that very well, given that we did have two servers with easy maps and one that mostly only very experienced surfers can go on.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	This new server serves as a good middle ground for those players that are just starting to finish the harder maps on #2 and are looking to improve further before taking the leap to the Expert server. This also supports the hundreds of maps we are bringing in. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The server has well over 200 maps in the mapcycle, which is more than all of the servers did <strong>combined</strong> prior to this. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I want to give massive thanks to our admin team, map testers, and in particular those that helped with zoning all of these maps these past couple of weeks. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/45745-dini/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="45745" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/45745-dini/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(69,218,74);">Dini</span></a>, <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/48031-ashakiri/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="48031" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/48031-ashakiri/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(178,34,34);">AshAkiri</span></a>, <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/44051-yuptodat/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="44051" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/44051-yuptodat/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(69,218,74);">yuptodat</span></a>, <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/41119-ancliz/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="41119" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/41119-ancliz/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(69,218,74);">Ancliz</span></a> have been doing God's work.

	Hello everyone. I come bearing bittersweet news. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/53117-bue/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="53117" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/53117-bue/" id="ips_uid_1731_6" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(255,201,31)">Bue.</span></a> has chosen to step down from her duties as Division Leader for Rust, a position which she has held since December of last year. You can read more about her stepping down <strong><a href="https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/71173-its-been-a-pleasure/" rel="">here</a>.</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Moving on -- after some consideration on my part as well as discussions between me, Bue and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/58339-hatehim222/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="58339" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/58339-hatehim222/" id="ips_uid_1731_8" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(255,201,31)">Hatehim222</span></a>, I have ultimately decided to promote <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/58339-hatehim222/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="58339" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/58339-hatehim222/" id="ips_uid_1731_9" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(255,201,31)">Hatehim222</span></a> in her stead. I feel good about his mindset, and that's one of the many reasons why I have no doubt he'll do a good job as the new Rust <abbr title="Division Leader">DL</abbr>. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Please take a moment to join me and congratulate the newcomer, as well as thanking Bue for all of the time she spent for the betterment of the Rust division. Working with her was always a pleasure.

</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm going to be making some changes in the coming months that may result in some downtime occasionally (nothing too bad). With Roy having passed ownership of the community to me, I have the ability to move a bit quicker in some renovations and changes that I've been meaning to make for awhile now. Historically, these large changes have been difficult due to Roy being a relatively busy guy outside of <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>The Anycast Network</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	It's no secret that <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> has built and operated an Anycast network for the past couple of years. This network configuration has offered us quite a few advantages, the primary advantages being A2S_INFO caching (which lowered pings in the server browsers, resulting in higher rankings overall) and DDoS protection.  We silently disabled A2S_INFO caching last month, however, due to consistent issues with other parts of the anycast setup, we believe it is best to disable it as a whole. This will require a brief maintenance period. We expect maintenance to take 6 hours and we aim to complete this process on either August 7th or August 8th depending on how long it takes to get things prepared.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>DigitalOcean</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	A few months ago we moved some of our web services to DigitalOcean. After a few months of using it, we believe that this method of hosting our services is not as cost efficient, so we will be purchasing another web machine from OVH (most likely the INFRA-2) to migrate these droplets to. We expect this move to save us around $100 / mo.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>Europe</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We announced a few months ago that we would begin expanding into Europe. I am happy to announce that this machine has finally been setup and that servers are currently in development for the Europe launch. We should see the first of the European servers launching very soon.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	<strong>NFO</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We recently purchased a new machine for our CS:GO Zombie Escape server. This machine is a bit more expensive than the old one (about $90 / mo more), but offers significantly more processing power. We're going to be hosting a few, light weight servers on the node alongside Zombie Escape, however, the majority of the resources on that machine will be kept open to ensure the smooth operation of Zombie Escape.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	That's all for now. I have some more things planned, but I think they need a bit more internal discussion before I'd like to announce them publicly. <img alt=":furretlove:" data-emoticon="true" loading="lazy" src="//gflusercontent.gflclan.com/file/forums-prod/emoticons/furretlove32.png" title=":furretlove:">

<p>
	Hi everyone!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	It is time for the next Community Representative election cycle! Community Representatives take up two seats in Council, helping with providing valuable insight in the decision making process and ultimately helping shape the future of <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>. The purpose of the role is to allow members of the community, that are currently not involved with upper management in <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>, to have a say. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Community Representatives (CR) are elected for a term of 6 months and can serve up to two consecutive terms. The current community representatives are <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/15181-dapainwayne/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="15181" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/15181-dapainwayne/" id="ips_uid_9538_6" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227)">DaPainWayne</span></a> and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/8-shuruia/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="8" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/8-shuruia/" rel="">@<span style="color: rgb(114,137,218);">Shuruia</span></a>.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	In order to become one of the two CRs, you must win a spot in the upcoming election. The election is public and members of the community will get to vote. To be considered, you must fulfill a few requirements:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		You must be a member or above. (https://gflclan.com/memberapplication/)
	</li>
	<li>
		You must not have any outstanding punishments. Controversial individuals or individuals with an extensive punishment history may also be excluded from running at discretion of the current council.
	</li>
	<li>
		You must abide by the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> Staff Code of Conduct, <strong>even during the course of the election process.</strong>
	</li>
	<li>
		You must get at least two current Council members to sponsor your application.
	</li>
	<li>
		Please do not apply if you do not intend to serve the entirety of the 6 month term.
	</li>
	<li>
		You may not currently be involved with higher management. (i.e, you cannot be a Team Leader, Technical Administrator, Division Leader, or Director).
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The following are not required, but are strongly recommended:
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		Be well known throughout <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>. Having been present for a long time, having a high amount of Forum / Discord activity, and generally being helpful to new users are generally great ways to accomplish this!
	</li>
	<li>
		Be prepared to deal with drama. There is always plenty!
	</li>
	<li>
		Try to have sufficient free time to attend council meetings.<br>
		 
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	For purposes of obtaining a sponsorship, the current council consists of the following members:

<p>
	<em>If you do not get sponsored, there is always a next time. Please do not beg or bother if the answer is no. Furthermore, the current community representatives <strong>may not sponsor themselves</strong> should they wish to run again. </em>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Once you have obtained your sponsor, <strong><span style="color:#2ecc71;">you can submit an application using this </span><a href="https://forms.gle/DiTbAr6ZBWL5BDjf9" rel="external nofollow"><span style="color:#2ecc71;">Google Form</span></a></strong>. You will receive an email from Google containing your responses indicating that we have received your application. Council will then review applications. If Council approves your application, you will be allowed to participate in the election and you will be contacted by a member of the council containing directions for the second stage of the application process. <span style="color:#2ecc71;"><strong>Applications should be submitted by June 10th and the election will begin shortly thereafter. </strong></span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Furthermore, there will be a public Council meeting tomorrow where you can come and ask questions about the process. We hope to see you there!

	CS:GO ZE Mapping Contest

<p style="text-align: center;">
	<span style="color:#ecf0f1;"><span style="font-size:19px;">We're excited to announce that <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> is partaking in a CS:GO ZE Mapping Contest alongside GUC, ggeasy, Mapeadores, Net4All, Revenant, Steam-Gamers, Supreme Elite, Zeddy Gaming, and Zombie Rage.</span></span>

		</p>
	</li>
	<li>
		<p>
			<span style="color:#ecf0f1;">Originality (Are the map's assets and theme overused or original?)</span>
		</p>
	</li>

	<span style="color:#ecf0f1;">2 judges will come from each community involved!</span>

<p>
	Hello everyone!
</p>

<p>
	For the people that have been with <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>'s GMOD community for a while, you know we've been developing a <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> DarkRP server. After countless months of work, the day has come to finally release the server!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	**The server is live, copy this link into your browser steam://connect/92.119.148.7:27015/ or do "connect 92.119.148.7:27015" into console**
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	In case you're new to our community, <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> began working on this DarkRP server in November of 2019. Development has been a huge challenge for us. We've tested and tried a ridiculous amount of content, and we hope that we're bringing you something that was worth the wait. We are still in the very early stages of the server, so please bear with us moving forward, and let us know of any bugs and issues you encounter!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Make sure to go to this page on the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> forums to get a gist of server rules

<p>
	Hello,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm happy to announce that we (Council) have recently decided to acquire Physion. Physion is an <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/304930/Unturned/" rel="external nofollow">Unturned</a> community that is currently hosting 8 servers (3 of which are down right now due to limitations, read on). For now, Physion will remain somewhat distinct from <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> in that the servers and Discord will continue to be branded as Physion for the foreseeable future, however, there will still be some crossover. We have already invited the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> Senior Discord Moderators to moderate the Discord server and we intend to use the GFLClan forums to host things like admin applications, ban/mute appeals, and (eventually) donations for Physion servers. Chances are, you will see a Physion section popping up within the next couple of days somewhere on these forums.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We do not want to make any unnecessary drastic changes, particularly in relation to how the servers are setup, however, we do have some plans for Physion
</p>

<ul>
	<li>
		The only staff that the community had prior to us were the owner and a developer, neither of whom are staying on board. We intend to build out a staff team for the Physion community to moderate the servers and ultimately handle the game server management, content updates, and future servers.
	</li>
	<li>
		We intend to have the community adopt the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> donation perks going forward. Previously the community had VIP, VIP+, VIP++, MVP, MVP+, MVP++, and God donator rank along with several vault upgrades. All of these will be replaced with supporter and VIP at their regular rates. Players who have purchased perks previously with Physion will retain these. It will be the same system, so any <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> donations will also have donator perks on Physion.
	</li>
	<li>
		The entire community is currently ran out of a Windows VPS. The WIndows VPS is currently at its limits, partly due to having very little RAM. We have decided that the least popular servers, servers 6 - 8, will remain offline for now in order to improve performance on the more popular servers (1 - 5). We intend to replace the VPS with a dedicated Linux machine that will integrate with GFLPanel like the rest of our services. The end goal is to improve performance and to re-open servers 6 - 8. We are currently evaluating exactly how we would like to do this as we do have a few options, but we intend to move on this relatively quickly.
	</li>
</ul>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Currently, myself and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/421-salad/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="421" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/421-salad/" id="ips_uid_5101_7" rel="">@<span style="color:#f97594">Salad</span></a> will serve as the community managers of Physion. <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/421-salad/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="421" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/421-salad/" rel="">@<span style="color:#f97594">Salad</span></a> will be leading the project, while I will be taking more of a support role (specifically, I intend to mostly focus on Physion's technical needs, as I do <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>). I'd also like to thank <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/45876-infra/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="45876" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/45876-infra/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(255,201,31)">Infra</span></a> for his help in getting the Discord server organized.

<p>
	Hi everyone!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	In the previous public Council meeting, an idea was introduced to downsize Council by 2 members. After some internal discussion, we've decided to remove the Community Representative positions and instead lighten the restrictions on the Staff Council Member (SCM) seats to include anyone that's a staff member in full capacity. We decided this was something we could pursue since GFL has been in quite a good state in terms of stability for a while now, which means we no longer need as many people overseeing GFL from council.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	That said, thanks to everyone that expressed interest in SCM! I'm happy to announce that <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/45745-dini/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="45745" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/45745-dini/" id="ips_uid_1145_7" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227)">Dini</span></a> and <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/44051-scott/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="44051" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/44051-scott/" id="ips_uid_1145_6" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227)">Scott</span></a> have been selected to take up the two SCM seats in Council for this term. Please join us in congratulating them! <span class="ipsEmoji">😄</span>

<p>
	Hello Everyone!<br>
	I am proud to announce we will be releasing two cs:go servers, one shortly after the other, CS:GO Minigames and CS:GO AWP 24/7!
</p>

<p>
	<br>
	The Minigames server, managed by <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/481-vauff/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="481" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/481-vauff/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227);">Vauff</span></a> <span class="ipsEmoji">👏</span>  is released tonight and going live at 8PM Central/9PM Eastern/1AM UTC (20th September).<br>

</p>

<p>

<p>
	Meanwhile, the AWP 24/7 server is in needs of a manager! We see a lot of people interested in managing it, therefore, we have made an application form for the Position of Manager for the server!<br>

<p>
	I'm happy to announce that the shared Jailbreak server with Hellsgamers has now officially been released. It's been in a beta testing phase while we have worked out specifics in the last couple of months, but this is something that has been in the works since January when I first proposed the idea during the 1v1 Arena event we had with them. While unconventional for two communities to have a shared server, rest assured that this has not been rushed in any shape or form and that it has required a lot of input and effort from the upper leadership in both communities.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	It's been a pleasure working with the HG staff team, and we sincerely hope that you guys will give it a chance. The server has seen incredible success during the beta phase, and is already the tenth (!) ranked CS:GO Server in its current standing. 
</p>

<p>

<p>
	If you have any questions, you can direct them to me personally or just join our Jailbreak Discord and ask there. <a href="https://discord.gg/HvEzshY" ipsnoembed="true" rel="external nofollow">https://discord.gg/HvEzshY</a>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">Hello everyone! We’ve made a lot of progress on the Moderation Team reform since the last update post!</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<strong><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">THE RULES</span></strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">We made a few changes in response to feedback we have received.</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">First, we have changed the harassment rule to be more concise and comprehensible. You can find the revised rule, along with the rest of the rules and associated punishments, on </span><a href="https://gflclan.com/forums/topic/66658-forums-rules/" rel=""><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">this thread</span></a><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">. We’re continuing to work on updating our </span><a href="https://gflclan.com/rules/new-rules/" rel=""><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">forum rules page</span></a><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;"> and Discord embeds and we hope to have those completed soon.</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">We also now have a process established to handle rule changes. Rule changes must now be discussed internally by moderators. The Moderation Team Leader and the Director of Teams will have the final say on such changes, however, they will generally implement the change should the majority of the team agree to do so. If you have feedback on the rules, let us know!</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">Finally, there was a lot of controversy regarding the automatic deletion of slurs, specifically the word “retard.” We have since removed this word from the list pending further discussion. The words that are currently automatically removed can be found </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UQV6_JHAH8B6823JgChwSPeDvKml98bMPzOp31aPjJQ/edit" rel="external nofollow"><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">here</span></a><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">. As moderators encounter new situations, additional slurs can be added to the list provided the moderation team as a whole believes that it is extreme enough for inclusion on the list. We will do our best to let people know when changes are made to the filters, but an authoritative change-log can always be found on the previously linked document.  </span>
</p>

<p>

</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<strong><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">THE APPLICATIONS</span></strong>
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">We have recently tackled applications resulting in the majority of them being either accepted or denied. We believe that we have enough forum moderators at this time, after we close the remaining applications, we will not be accepting any new applications for the time being. Should we decide that more moderators are needed, we will create another thread and re-open applications.</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">Discord moderator applications are always open and should be dealt with within two weeks of submission.</span>

</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">While we did not announce our picks for Senior Moderator in the previous update post, we are happy to announce that Salad and Bue will be our first Senior Moderators. We intend to select a few more people for this position, however, they will be picked at a later date. As Senior Moderators, Salad and Bue will be tasked with ensuring that moderators are behaving appropriately and following our Moderation Etiquette. They’re experienced with moderation and will assist the Moderation Team Leader in training and maintaining the team. Senior Moderators will be available to consult on situations that other moderators are unsure of. They are also Global Moderators on both the forums + Discords. </span>

	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">Hey, it’s Joshy!  I think a lot of you have seen me around especially in the directory thread.  I joined <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> at the end of 2014 while I was just beginning my traveling adventures in Washington, DC.  The first game that caught my attention was CS:S Zombie Escape, and I’ve got some bad news: I was one of the edge warriors with a shotgun…  not the right way to play ZE!  Should obviously have an AWP ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°).  Soon after joining I use a lot of programming from school and work as an electrical engineer, and so I joined the Developer team.  That was a short stint because I made the mistake of signing up for too many engineering classes and the full 3-4 hours of sleep would be a good night.  Some unfortunate shenanigans brought me to the CS:S Surf DM server, which became my new home and I grew into leadership roles from there; later becoming more tangled in all of the servers of the time such as CS:GO and GMOD including TTT MC 24/7.  To make it short: Things happened and I went back to my regular old VIP status until recently.  I’m a foreigner no matter where I go because I travel a lot (prior to the pandemic), but <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> has been one of the few things I can take with me no matter where I go.  I’m thrilled you guys were able to accept me into the team and work with you all; I hope I wont let you down.  Leadership and drama is nothing new to me.  I worked in retail and various management roles for over 5 years right after high school.  I hope I’m great with kids because my fiancé and I have one on the way… we’re very excited.  Thanks!</span>

I’m 20 years old and currently attending a community college and majoring in Criminal Justice. I plan on going into forensics and becoming a coroner. I have a bit more time now since Murder was axed and I was laid off recently. I decided to take the position of forum mod because I already have experience with it due to being a server manager. I look forward to helping you all.</span><span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;"> </span>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#d0d0d0;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">You probably don't know me too well, but I've been pretty active around the forums for the last 5 months or so. I've browsed the forums pretty consistently for the last couple of years, but never posted much. This was because I was a part of another large CS:GO gaming community where I held various ranks, including Director. Altogether, I probably have around 3 years of experience under my belt when it comes to moderating a forum similar to the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> forums. When I did first get active around here, I had taken a Server Manager position. The server didn't end up flourishing, but since I was still interested in helping the community in any way possible, I applied for Forum Moderator. Of the available positions at <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>, I'm actually probably best suited for this one. I hope I can get to know a lot of you a little better and I'm looking forward to putting my best foot forward in this position.</span>

<p dir="ltr">
	<span style="background-color:transparent;color:#ffffff;font-size:11pt;vertical-align:baseline;">I’m Serenity, you may have seen me around before. I am a pretty new member but have been involved in a lot of things around the community. I just wanted to introduce myself to those who may not know me. I am 18 and from the US. I stopped playing Garry’s Mod around two years ago but wanted to get back into it for nostalgic purposes. I stumbled across <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> and instantly fell in love with it. In my short time being here I have met so many new friends who I hope to know for a very long time. Since I’m always browsing the Forums and talking in Discord I decided to apply for both mod positions. Currently, the positions I hold in <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> are Forum Moderator, Main Discord and GMod Discord Moderator, Server Admin for <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>’s TTT 24/7 MC server, Event Coordinator, Writer, and Social Media. I have so much free time because I am a senior in High School and we are currently in a pandemic, so not much to do. I have so many things I want to do in this community and I hope to stay here for a long while. Anyways, if we haven’t talked yet I hope to soon, whether it be at an event, the Forums, Discord, in-game or elsewhere. I promise that I am really friendly and I don’t bite so don’t be afraid to contact me. (Serenity#6471)</span>

I am 18 years old and found <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> nearly 5 years ago through our TTT1 Minecraft server. You probably have at least seen my name before as I have been fairly involved with <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> over the past few years and have held several positions including admin on various Garry's Mod servers, Breach Server Manager, Community Advisor, Technical Administrator, and Director (prior to the council reform). Currently, I am the Director of Tech, a member of <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>'s council, a Technical Administrator (focusing mainly on the backend), and the Server Manager of TTT4 Anarchy. Some of you may have known me as Xy as I used that name prior to making the decision to begin transitioning to female, though I do ask that you call me Aurora. My hobbies include programming, Linux, gaming, and politics, though I don't do much gaming these days. I love to talk and mess around, so feel free to add me (Aurora#8486), though keep in mind I can also be rather busy at times. I look forward to continuing to serve <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> and its members to the best of my ability.</span>

I'm a 23-year-old writer from the UK. I have been in <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> since just after its inception in early 2011, making me the longest-standing active member in the community. My past positions include TF2 Division Leader, Old Council, Community Advisor, Moderation Team Leader, and Director. At the present time of writing, I'm a moderator on our main &amp; CWRP Discords, as well as on the forums. I'm also a server admin on our CWRP game server, so you'll see me a lot if you happen to play on there. As far as being a "public face" for a community goes, I think it pays to be compassionate and caring—anyone can have their judgement in the moment affected by a bad day that's out of their control. I try to keep this in mind in my dealings with others. If you ever want to talk to me for whatever reason, don't be afraid to add me on Discord. (Shuruia#0730)</span>

I started in <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> a little over a year ago in CS:GO surf as a server admin. I eventually became one of the server managers for surf, but I felt that I could be more useful somewhere else, thus I'm at TF2 currently working on rebalancing the server’s shop (which is a massive pain). Other roles I previously had that not many know about/remember are CS:GO AWP 24/7 admin and @Infra’s senior admin when the CS:GO KZ server was in development. I never did any actual admin work in KZ, mostly just checked for map problems (which we had to do every map twice because of server problems), and helped out with whatever he needed help with. Outside of <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>, I’m a Junior in University studying for my BSBA with a concentration in Cyber Security and Information Systems. While I'm not busy with <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> or University, I’m busy hiking local trails.</span>
