<p>
	Hello everyone! 
</p>

<p>
	<br>
	We are doing something a little different this month in the Rust division... This wipe the event server is going to be transformed into something a little strange. 
</p>

<p>
	For one wipe the event server will be a 0.5x server on a tiny 1000 map. This is 1/4 the size of our normal servers. We are going to keep track of everyone's stats on the event server and will be giving out <strong>free VIP</strong> for 1 week to 3 people based on the stats at the end of the wipe! 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	1. Top KDR<br>
	2. Top Heli kills<br>
	3. <span class="ipsEmoji">✨</span>Surprise<span class="ipsEmoji">✨</span>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I have also made a few changes here and there on the server that should hopefully spice up the gameplay. I don't want to ruin the fun for anyone so I will only give you a hint... Bears and explosions. You may also notice that the helicopter has been spending some time on UKN so it isn't too easy.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	For the rest of the servers not many changes have been made... We've recently re-implemented the MyMini plugin for VIP and Server Boosters (Discord Nitro). If you're interested in joining this event feel free to join via one of the links below or find the connect link in the server list.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Hope to see you in-game and good luck!

<p>
	Hello!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	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.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The rules are the same as the last voting period:
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<ul><li>
		You must be a Member or above
	</li>
	<li>
		Your account must be at least 2 months old.
	</li>
	<li>
		You may cast 2 votes. Each vote must go to a different person.
	</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 vote <a href="https://gflclan.com/crvoting/" rel="">here</a>.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Thank you and good luck!

	Hello everyone! 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	I'm pleased to announce that we have officially expanded to Europe once more. Starting with a beginner Surf Timer server, our ultimate goal is going to be to essentially mirror all things Surf Timer from region to region, so this is just a start. This server is pretty much a blank copy of our #1 server, and that is intentional. Just like we have #1-#5 US servers, we plan on following the same recipe with our EU servers.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Not much else to say. I know this has been teased for a while, and we were planning on doing this much sooner, but better late than never.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Feel free to add the server to your favorites. 
</p>

	Hi everyone. As you already may have seen, Serenity has stepped down from his position as Event Coordinator Team Leader.

<p>
	I'm exited to announce the return of a fan favorite server, <strong>GMod Purge!</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	For those of you who weren't around in the heyday of our Purge server, let me give you the rundown.<br>
	Purge is a modified version of DarkRP inspired by "The Purge". Every 45 minutes all hell breaks loose on the server with crime becoming legal! That means you can commit as many heinous crimes as you want, and the police can't stop you!<br>
	During the 45 minute buffer you have time to build up your base, make some money, and prepare for the next purge.<br>
	There's so much more to it that you'll find out once the server goes live, but that's the core gameplay.<br>
	<br>
	<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/" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(30,233,227)">DaPainWayne</span></a> will be managing the server, with assistance from me, and we aim to launch the server on <span style="font-size:26px;"><span style="color:#0b5fb5;"><strong>April 2nd at 12pm EST</strong></span></span><br>

<p>
	Hello everyone. As you might've noticed by the name of the announcement, I've decided to promote <span><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></span> 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.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	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. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	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 <abbr title="Division Leader">DL</abbr> 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.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	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. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	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. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	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.

<p>
	Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce the newest addition to the CS:GO Division, a second KZ server! Something that's been requested ever since we added #1 was a server with harder maps, considering #1 was, and still is more fit for beginners. This server will feature maps that are good for everyone, having a tier 1-7 map pool with over 600 maps. 
</p>

</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.

	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>
	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:

	Hello all,
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Unfortunately, we’ve recently had to disqualify one of the Community Representative candidates due to excessive hostility towards the other candidates. Community Representative is a staff role with elevated access and a responsibility to work well along with the existing staff of the community. A large part of this is proving that you are capable of abiding by the code of conduct and acting with integrity, including during the election process. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	From the <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> Staff Code of Conduct that all Staff members are expected to abide by:
</p>

<p>
	    B. Treat players and other staff members with respect at all times.
</p>

<p>
	    C. Act professional while interacting with players and other staff members. You are allowed to joke around, however public hostility, excessive shit talking, and other behaviors that may be detrimental to <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr>’s reputation as a community will not be tolerated.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	This is not a decision we take lightly as we wish for the Community Representative process to be a reflection of the community’s wishes, however, we also must ensure that our staff team is able to uphold our community values. 
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	We will extend the time frame for voting until December 4 at 10 PM CST. Everybody who voted for the individual in question will be allowed to recast their vote.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	If you have any questions or concerns regarding this decision, feel free to reach out to any of the Directors directly.
</p>

<p>
	Hello, everyone!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Back in August, we announced that the Rust division would be closed down indefinitely due to several issues with performance and many other factors. After a long break, I am delighted to announce that the division will be returning, led by <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/13623-baconator/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="13623" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/13623-baconator/" id="ips_uid_2685_6" rel="">@<span style="color:rgb(255,201,31)">Baconator</span></a>, from its break on the <strong>17th of December</strong> at <strong>5:00 PM CST</strong>!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	 One of the biggest issues we faced before the division took a break was our server's performance issues, with quite a bit of lag and stuttering plaguing the experience. Over the past few months, efforts have been made to maximize performance across all of <abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr></abbr>, with significant improvements seen across the board - especially in some of our most demanding communities like CS:GO Surf and GMod CWRP. We hope that our newfound performance gains will prevent the performance issues faced by Rust in the past!
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	To start, we will be launching with a single server: <strong>a Modded 5x server</strong>!
</p>

<p>
	IP Address: <span style="font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace;">rust5x.<abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">gfl</abbr></abbr>.gs:28015</span> (<span style="font-family:Courier New,Courier,monospace;">92.119.148.58:28015</span>)
</p>

<p>
	Managers: <a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="https://gflclan.com/profile/7569-lonely/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="7569" href="https://gflclan.com/profile/7569-lonely/" id="ips_uid_2685_9" rel="">@<span style="color: rgb(114,137,218);">Lonely</span></a> &amp; <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_2685_8" rel="">@<span style="color: rgb(114,137,218);">Alexis</span></a>
</p>

<p>
	Launch: <strong>17th December 2021 - 5:00 PM CST</strong>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	As we make progress with this server, we will be looking at community feedback to see what we can bring to the table next, so please join the discussion in the <abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr></abbr> Rust Discord: <a href="https://gfl.gs/rustdiscord" ipsnoembed="false" rel="external nofollow">https://<abbr title="Games For Life"><abbr title="Games For Life">gfl</abbr></abbr>.gs/rustdiscord</a>
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	A sincere thank you to all involved in making this possible, and we hope everyone enjoys the server! The sub-forum for Rust will be opened upon launch, so in the meantime, join the <a href="https://gfl.gs/rustdiscord" rel="external nofollow">Rust Discord</a>.

We believe that Infra will continue to help improve <abbr title="Games For Life">GFL</abbr> as Director of Divisions, so please join us in welcoming him to his new position, and bidding farewell to FrenZy.

<p>
	After player feedback on our expansion into the EU region, I am happy to announce that we have opened a Surf Timer server exclusive to Expert and VIP players! This server will be a mirror of the VIP/Top100 exclusive server in NA and will host every map currently in the cycle.

<p>
	Thank you all for continuing to support us, and we hope you enjoy the new server! Be sure to add the server to your favorites: <span style="color:#2ecc71;">145.239.136.255:27016</span>

<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>
	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.
