This is not the proper method or place to ask for a sponsor.

@qDogg is the person who designs the badges so you'd need to ask him for some sort of sketches. However, in the end it's up to the higher ups whether this goes "official."
If I were to be the one going the awards/badges, I would not be doing some of them due to what they are:

What are your thoughts on Trump revoking the transgender bathroom federal guidelines?
I personally am happy with the decision. Transgender people are special snowflakes but them involved only accounts for a very small portion of why I am happy with the decision. I mostly am glad that the states have the power to decide on that law or guideline themselves. The federal government should not have jurisdiction when it comes to this topic and forcing the guideline onto the states is just an overextension of power on their part. The guideline itself is dumb since transgender people for the most part are already able to go into whatever bathroom unless their state already has a law against it. It mostly opens up a greater opportunity for creeps to go in the other bathroom (already could do it before and has not necessarily happened since it was put in place, but it is more of a liability issue in the case that it does happen).
That's my thoughts on the matter. Happy with a majority of what Trump is doing right now and I hope he keeps up the good work.

Please tell me that you don't actually think that 3 million illegal immigrants committed voting fraud.
By spending billions of dollars on a border wall that'll probably do absolutely nothing? We could probably save a lot more lives by investing in infrastructure like roads that'll actually be used. The border wall might be able to stop your average Joe from Mexico. But your average Joe from Mexico isn't the one who's doing any serious damage to the country. Plus it does absolutely nothing to deal with the fact that a lot of illegal immigrants fly in and just don't leave when their time is up.
The wall is complete fucking overkill. There's no need to make the great wall of America. Just hire some folks to patrol the border a bit and not waste billions of dollars building something that'll probably not even be maintained once he leaves office.
I wouldn't say always since forever is a long time. If we Americans are so spiteful that we're willing to straight up try and cripple our neighbor and ally then don't be surprised when a populist rises up in Mexico who is willing to hurt both countries to just hurt the U.S. Clearly the U.S. won't be as hurt as Mexico, but it's still a completely unnecessary amount of damage to build a wall that supposed to help the country from a non-existent threat. It's even more absurd when you consider that Mexico is our neighbor and our ally. Also, you forgot to add a "but we really shouldn't bully them because bullying your friends is a stupid fucking idea that'll bite you in the ass eventually." But yeah, the wall is a stupid reason to start a diplomatic feud between two otherwise friendly countries. Not to mention that if we somehow do make Mexico pay for the wall by hurting their economy, then that's going to bite us in the ass since that just means people will be trying harder to get into the U.S. And one thing to keep in mind is that you can go over, under, and with some explosives, even through a wall. Overall, the wall's not worth losing the amount of political capital that we are.
It's not a muslim ban?
It's literally supposed to be a religious ban. It's just the only legal religious ban they could get.
I suppose to idiots a slightly smarter idiot might seem like a genius.
Trump's not that smart. And it's not even him that anyone should be worried about. The people that anyone should be worried about are those controlling Trump like Steve Bannon. Trump doesn't care about facts or science or else he wouldn't call climate change a "Chinese hoax". And like I said in my previous post, Climate Change is a serious threat to global stability. Not to mention pissing off your allies is a stupid idea as well.
Overall, I think Trump's proving himself to be a shitty president. But you gotta hand it to their administration that their tactic of stirring so many controversies that you can't focus on all of them is a good way to get shitty things passed without any criticism.- I never claimed that three million Hillary voters were necessarily illegal immigrants. I just said it is possible. There are roughly eleven million illegal immigrants estimated to be living in the US. I do not know how that eleven million would be broken up in terms of age or other factors, but I believe that there was at least some number of that eleven million that managed to vote, regardless of its overall effect on the election. It is not entirely solid evidence, but you can look at known sanctuary cities for illegal immigrants on a map broken down into individual counties and labeled blue/red based upon who they voted for and see that many of which were blue surrounded by red. They themselves are not the only people capable of voter fraud seen here in Michigan. It is just as likely that a number of people voted twice or more for Hillary to increase her odds of winning. While it is entirely possible for Trump supporters to do the same you may argue, I find it highly unlikely. As I said, we will find out the specifics if Trump follows through with his investigation.
- - I already gave my stance on the wall and how I do not necessarily believe that a physical wall is the most economical decision. Regardless, it will still protect us from illegal immigration to some extent. Wall or not, they will find ways in, but it will be able to keep out a number of them.
- The illegal immigration situation is a legitimate threat, regardless of how small or large it is. Denying that it is a problem is arrogant. While the solution proposed to that problem may not be the best, it is better than people like Obama endorsing illegal immigration and allowing unknown figures just walk into our country. While it hurts relations between the countries, being ignorant of a threat of security is worse off for both countries. If I am not mistaken, Mexico knows this first hand as well because I believe they are witnessing a similar problem with people from Central America. Until they can hold up their own protection of the border, we will step in and deal with it. Whether Mexico is a neighbor and ally or not, it does not mean they can harm us without consequences. Lastly, I did not endorse bullying Mexico. I just said we could do it without direct repercussion. All of the actions I do endorse are simply business and nothing more.
- Like I said, if it were a Muslim ban, regions like Indonesia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Egypt would be on the ban list as well since they all have +80% Muslim population and +70 million Muslims each. You would think that if they truly wanted the Muslim population of the world kept out of the US, they would not want people from those countries to be able to come in. The countries Obama himself put on the list are known countries that endorse terrorist acts and are a security threat. Regardless of what "it was supposed to be", that is what it turned out to be. The temporary ban is for the better to keep Muslim ISIS sympathizers out. They have already killed more people in this country than anyone would like.
- I never claimed he was a genius. I do not follow Trump blindly. I understand he has flaws just as every other person on the planet has. For example, he uses the wrong economic school of thought in my opinion (Keynesian rather than Austrian). I simply said that people think he has the intelligence of a buffoon but in reality that is not the case, regardless of the weird conspiracies he may or may not believe in. Since climate change has been a reoccurring topic mentioned, I guess I can give my thoughts about it. I will not deny that climate change is real. I simply believe that we do not have the technology to combat it entirely at the moment. For example, I believe you or someone else mentioned something about our dependence on fossil fuels and all of that. Fossil fuels are cheap and effective regardless of what you may believe. The energy produced by fossil fuels exceed any energy produced by renewable resources (solar, wind, etc.). The technology just is not there at the moment. There is no way we can produce enough energy from other means to keep up with the US's demand. In the next four to eight years, I truly doubt that it will be there either meaning Trump can burn all the fossil fuels he wants in the meantime for all I care. However, I would like Trump to invest money into renewable technology research so we are not relying on fossil fuels for the next thirty years (not replace current plants with solar/wind). Nuclear is a viable option if done correctly and people were not so afraid of it. Overall, complaining about Trump's lack of care about the climate is pointless in my opinion. There are plenty of other actions to complain about that are more "harmful."
I will add this in too since I like Sargon:

I believe that Donald Trump is actually doing something right but not right to the Mexicans.
What we did to "Mexicans"?? or what "Mexicans" did to us?? We both did nothing, other than trading and now we building an wall? I think the "Mexicans" will get mad which they are already and maybe start like an "Cold War", expect that we are much more closer to them than before.
But I do see an reason of banning the muslim which seems to be good idea but also bad idea.
If Donald Trump had common sense.... We would be in better place...
Neither the US or Mexico has done anything to hurt the other directly. Due to NAFTA and the fact that it is cheaper to have basic labor done in second world countries compared to first world countries, corporations have moved to Mexico hence why they are "stealing our jobs." Illegal immigrants cross the border (criminal and "lawful") and take refuge in sanctuary cities where they are able to get jobs and such. Depending on the circumstances, they can even vote in elections (primarily democrat voters which is why democrats oppose actually enforcing immigration laws. Hopefully, this will also be proven in the investigation he plans on conducting on this previous election, but I digress. Trump is simply protecting our country and its people. Mexico does nothing to help the situation so they will reap what they have sown. The wall should most likely be a metaphoric wall (stronger border control, extra surveillance, etc.) but a physical wall will suffice. On a last note, a cold war will never happen with Mexico and the US. The US is and will alway be ahead of Mexico in practically all ways you can imagine, meaning that Mexico would not be able to do anything. We can bully them all we want with no fear of direct repercussions.
I will begin by saying the "Muslim ban" is not a "Muslim ban." It is ban of Islamic states on a list created by the Obama administration specifying terrorist threats. The ban does not even include the top five countries having the highest number of Muslim citizens. Obama himself did the same thing several times (sometimes worse conditions) with no major backlash. Trump does it and the world throws a temper tantrum. As @Benroyjam said, it has been temporarily ended by a judge. The ban is entirely justified since Obama has done it in the past and since it is only temporary to get a proper vetting system in place for people who are actually in need of coming to the US otherwise known as poor, non-ISIS sympathizers. On a personal level, I have no issue with Muslims. I only have an issue with Islam since it is the worst mainstream religion the world has to offer in terms of its roots and ideologies. Therefore, I support the ban to prevent those who utilize the worst of Islam from coming to the US.
Trump is smarter than most people make him out to be. Give it some time and hopefully you will understand what I mean.

Seems appropriate for the amount of political discussion that goes on these days. Feel free to civilly talk or debate amongst each other about any political topics.
If you want, you can also state your stances. For example: https://secure.isidewith.com/elections/2016-presidential/2828510642#. You do not need to have it in the form of a link like I do, but it is much more compact. This gives pretty much all of the general information you would want to know. Anything in specific can be mentioned and talked about.
Rules:
1. Do not attack people directly (i.e. calling someone a Nazi simply because you do not like their opinions); Opt for an actual argument
2. This is not a "safe space". Do not read topics here if you get offended easily.
3. If someone is giving false information, you are allowed to "fact check" that person so long as you have a reliable source linked to that correction (preferably an independent source).
I guess I will start off the discussion: What does everyone think of Trump's actions so far?
-
https://www.rt.com/usa/374942-trump-dakota-keystone-approval/ I will leave this here as another source that is not the Huffington Post
It is a bit dated, but I will put a video talking about the topic which is pretty much my view point on the situation.

If you need any further changes, let me know.

I figured I should let the public know about this.
I have been leading the team since sometime in January of 2016, just about a year at this point. In that time, I have developed the team from practically nothing into a semi-organized group of graphic designers willing to help out the community's graphic needs. We made it through tough times of only four members and with the forum move as well. I definitely made several mistakes throughout my time as leader and could have done a better job in my opinion, but overall, I did a decent job all things considered. I do not think I could have done as good without the occasional advice from @nick027nd (past leader for those that did not know) and several other team members (some of which have left). A year later after taking the position, I believe it is time to pass the torch on to someone else. Transition of power is a necessary thing to keep a group stable and healthy. I also feel I have not been doing much over the course of the last few months. I have lost the passion that I had way back when. Lastly, I have been busy with life activities and school. Right when I believe that I will be more active for the team, something comes up. I believe resigning will give someone else a chance to do what I have not been able to. I hate to do this since we only recently merged the GFX and Media teams into the Creative Team, which needs someone to get the Media side of things going again, but I do not think I would be capable of doing so with my current state.
I would like to thank all of the GFX Team Members who put up with me for all these months. You guys have helped out this community greatly and it is much appreciated. Continue doing what you do best.
@cankyarts @Azura @Bae @Tai @OutOfIdeas @Radify25 @OGB4LIFE @bobe @inHaze
Myself and the other Trusted members are looking for a new leader at the moment. I will make sure the transition goes smoothly and to overlook the team for the first few weeks to make sure things are stable.
Lastly, as a quick clarification, this resignation is only for GFX/Creative Team Leader, not Community Advisor.

I, for the most part, play tanks (Zarya mostly) and support so I most likely will not win, but it is worth a try.

Question; Can I include DLCs? I'm going to get Payday 2 DLCs. If not, I'm only getting 2 games (Line of Sight and Call of Duty World at War)
I'm also pretty sure that there will be discounts during Steam Christmas Sale. So yea. I'm hyped of this!
You can ask for DLC so long that it has actual content. If your Payday 2 DLC is mask pack or something along those lines, we consider that to be more along the lines of in-game items, which is not allowed.

Welcome to the first GFL Secret Santa! If you do not know what secret santa is, it is when members of a group or community are randomly assigned a person to whom they anonymously give a gift. This event will be hosted by @Domps, @SantaTrump, and I.
The way this will work is that those interested in participating will fill out this form. In the form, you will need to give your forum name, Steam URL, and a list of games that you would like that abide by the rules below. Entry will be closed on December 23 at 12:00 AM EST. Names will then be put into a pair randomizer. These pairs will be kept hidden to all except those hosting the event. Once the form is closed, your wish list will be sent to your Secret Santa (names are kept anonymous). You will purchase one game from the list and gift it to the GFL Secret Santa Steam account (see rules below). On December 31, these gifts will be delivered to the corresponding people.
Rules for Participating:
- The item must a Steam game (not a bundle, software, or in-game items)
- You must enter in at least 3 items, one of which must be $20 or less (pre-sale value)
- You must add the GFL Secret Santa on Steam (STEAM_0:0:195244091)
- If you sign-up, you are obligated to purchase a game from the list of games you receive. If you do not, you are therefore banned from further events like this and from all giveaways within the giveaway section
It is highly recommended to purchase games during the Steam Holiday Sale. You may also purchase games from G2A. If someone does not follow through with their purchase, then you will still be able to refund the game that you bought them (as long as it was through Steam). I will add that we are not participating to prevent any form of bias. If you have any further questions, be sure to ask.
Happy Holidays!

y u even commenting anyways you're not on the gfx team.
He is commenting because he read our guidelines and is trying to spread them to those who didn't read them. As he said, you can only make one request per month. If you'd like to have this request done, you will have to privately message a GFX/non-GFX member asking to complete the request. However, no one is obligated to complete this request, again, due to the one-request-per-month limit.
