Otter 880 / 10,435 Report Post Posted July 28, 2016 Edited July 28, 2016 by Otter December 10th, 1999. Computers we're not that advanced and Roy was a wee-lad. He has an interest in computers and coding, even though he didn't really know what that was... He sat on his father's lap and said, "Daddy, I want to make a popular gaming community and I want to learn how to code dank plugins n' shit." His father said, "Shut up, son. You just turned 2 and planning your life, god dammit, slow down." Roy was very upset. He wanted to become the best! As he grew older, computers became more advanced. Suiting his needs. When he turned 13, he was playing the best game ever created, Minecraft, while he was playing he found diamonds and exclaimed, "I'm going to be playing games for the rest of my life!" That's when he knew, he was going to start a gaming community named, "Games For Life". I'm pretty sure that's how most of it went.

Snoopy 1,480 / 15,610 Report Post Posted July 28, 2016 7 hours ago, Mad_Father said: so what do "councils" do? To be fair, you should really know the basics of what each rank do seeing as you're an admin but no worries, people are here to help. The ranks are going somewhat under a change hence why you've seen new ranks like Technical Admin and the Moderator rank changed to Community Adviser but an announcement will be made on that soon, hopefully. The Council are the guys who deal with most of the communication in GFL whether it's from inside or outside of GFL, such as sponsors/partners etc. They're there to lead the community in the right direction, promoting community growth, basic (I think) website maintenance and genuinely leading the community as a whole. Just imagine them as a Board of Directors in a business and what they have to do to keep a business alive, excluding the whole making money part. Division Leaders, such as myself, are responsible for the oversight of a single game and all of its servers. We have 4 games, or divisions, that the Division Leaders are responsible for. I am responsible for overseeing the TF2 servers that we have. We would aid our Managers in running the servers, appoint/demote/training Managers, bug fix and just supervise the Division and its staff. There are other things we do as well but that's the basic gist. The rank Community Adviser was originally the old Moderator rank. It still somewhat is but with a twist. They're there to give an unbiased opinion on matters held within GFL, throw some advise around here and there and be the guys that stops the Higher Ups from making bad decisions. Technical Administrators are the guys that run the show behind the scenes. They deal with GFL-Core and all plugins associated with it, Website programming/bug fixing, patching large issues that need to be solved quickly and the likes of that. They're our trusted developers who usually have a a lot more access then normal developers. 7 hours ago, Bae said: Oh, if you're admin, there's a thread in the admin section explaining each and every one of the higher ranks and what they're job is and will be. And as @Bae rightly pointed out, it's there and pinned so everyone who is Admin+ can see it. Not everything has been implemented yet but hopefully it will be soon. So everyone is listing their former stuff so I'll just be cool and list mine :3 Former @HackingPotato's White Knight and Boss Former Director Former TF2 Division Leader Former Community Advisor Former TF2 Technical Administrator Former TF2 Server Manager Former TF2 Trial Manager Former TF2 Admin Former TF2 Revivalist Former TF2 Player Former TF2 God Former Media Leaderish Former somewhat Media team person Former VIP Former Supporter Former Member Former TF2 Player Former Player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when he knew, he was going to start a gaming community named, "Games For Life". I'm pretty sure that's how most of it went. Sounds legit. GFL's had a somewhat long and rocky history. The previous website once had a history of GFL, talking about what GFL had gone through up to early 2016. Then, as Bae said, there was betrayal. Issues aside, we're building up from scratch again. 11 hours ago, Bae said: Because I used to date a co-owner whose perm banned on here. He would tell me things of how GFL was like back in the day and I've also talk to Floopy and Roy about it. Here it is. Bae mentioned Floopy being an OG, so if said person is not loaded down with work, or the pretending thereof, you could always ask them. I've been here about a year, and it's been a damn interesting ride so far. Edited July 28, 2016 by PB-n-J Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
