Introducing Council - Trigger

- Council is now GFL's highest authority. It consists of Directors and representatives from some of our divisions. They will be responsible for GFL on a daily basis and each will be in charge of certain fields. For example, Director of Communications will be directed by Shuruia and Director of Divisions will be directed by FrenZy. The Directors will be responsible for fulfilling the Council's wishes. We also have Division Representatives. Skittlez is the representative for our Rust Division, and Pyros will represent our GMOD Division. Council will also be led by Nick, the Executive Director. He has the overall responsibility for GFL. These changes were made in an effort to improve communication between staff members and the community.

3 New CS:GO Servers (Climb Timer, Decoy Dodgeball, and Bhop #2) - Trigger

- We have released 3 new CS:GO servers over the last 2 months. These being Climb Timer, Decoy Dodgeball, and Bhop #2. Climb Timer is basically parkour for CS:GO. Your only goal is to reach the end point as fast as possible. You will have to go through challenging obstacles to achieve victory. Next up we have Decoy Dodgeball, a gamemode centered around knocking out the other team with dodgeballs. This can take place on various maps including gymnasium, tournament, and nuke! Last on our list is Bhop #2. It plays the same as Bhop #1, but with a #2 instead. Players can freely switch between both at any time.

 

HG x GFL CS:S Scrim - Trigger

- A cross-community tournament held by GFL (Games For Life) and HG (HeLLsGamers). Both teams will have 23 players with a few subs for any problems. Everyone who participated in the event will be entered into a raffle for two separate $10 gift cards. Participants will also receive a unique badge. A successful event held by GFL and HG! 

 

New Division Leader - Dragoon

- Recently, our Team Fortress 2 Division has had a vacant place for a Division Leader. With this in mind, we’ve recently selected a new Division Leader! Selected for their management and communication skills, we have Coven! Under the leadership of Coven, the Team Fortress 2 Division will thrive and prosper.

 

GFL's TF2 server, 2Fort 1, reaches #1 ranking - Dragoon

- There’s some more good news from our Team Fortress 2 Division, and it’s a very noteworthy achievement. 2Fort 1, which is one of our two servers that’s on the 2Fort Map, was able to reach the #1 Ranked Server on Gametracker, comparing against every other server on Team Fortress 2! Although the server has since dropped a few places since then, this is a major accomplishment! To the players and staff that helped to make this feat possible, thank you all, for making 2Fort 1 a great place that Team Fortress 2 players can enjoy!

 

The Graphics Team Renovations - Dragoon

- There are a plethora of teams here at GFL. Recently, our Graphics Team has undergone multiple changes. The original purpose of the team was to just take requests from GFL Members and above, and they did things such as creating profile pictures, forum signatures, or even simple art. However, the team has undergone many changes in the past few weeks. While the team will still take requests, the main focus of the team has shifted from the aforementioned requests to revamp many outdated graphics around everything GFL related, while on the side, they have posted tutorials and resources for many things connected to graphics. Of course, if you are to notice any abysmal or outdated graphics, then make sure to report it to the GFX Team here.

 

Brand new ARK server - Saizy

- A new ARK server is being set up by Stoodly! ARK: Survival Evolved is a game where you can tame dinosaurs to collect resources, fight for you, and be your loyal companion! Learn new blueprints to build up yourself, or your fellow tribesmen, find bases to raid with your dinosaurs, and fight against other players! Can you tame a Giganotosaurus?

Future of Breach - Saizy

- Breach hasn’t been updated a lot recently but one of their managers, Duc2000, wants to share his plans for the future of the gamemode! This include things from new maps, new SCPs, new ‘quality of life’ improvements, and even new special rounds! If you love the SCP fandom and you’re interested in a multiplayer game surrounding it, why not join the community to be there for those exciting, upcoming updates?

I accidentally made an error, but it's gone now. I hope nobody here will ever know what it was... 🍙 (Besides people in our Teams, of course)
