These are the PRE-RELEASE notes. I will be starting the upload process in approximately 1 hour, in which the servers will be down for approximately 2 hours.

• The Christmas sales are up on the Donator store! If you donated in the last few days, you'll receive the 25% extra rubies once I run the script later, so don't feel like you were missing out.
• Added an all new "Seasonal Progression" system. This allows players to gain exclusive rewards, just by playing and gaining experience. You gain Xp for it by doing almost any activity FRG has to offer.
  All of the rewards from this system are untradeable.
  This system is completely free, though VIP's gain 25% more experience towards this.
  
  The max tier is 20.
• Added Christmas Present IV. This is currently available for rubies, and will be available for coins later on.
  
• Added 3 new global base weapons.
  • FAL - This weapon has been around for a bit, but I finally made it a base weapon as well as changed some stats around on it as described below:
    • Adjusted FAL firerate.
    • Removed Limbshot multiplier.
    • Adjusted ADS animation.
      
  • FNP45 - a select fire pistol that can switch between burst, and semi-auto.
    
    FNP45

    
  • AK12 - a new AR/SMG hybrid. This weapon deals a lot of DPS, but is lacking accuracy.
    
    AK12

    
• Massively touched up our TDM system added a ton of new modifiers available, added support for 'random variants' that can happen like any minigame, and added 2 random variants that can happen during the xmas seasonal duration.
• Brought back and improved 'pass the present' minigame (hotpotato).
  

• Updated the Crate open display to include your crate level.
• Fixed a variety of bugs.
• Lots of behind the scene changes preparing for new storage device update which will come in 2020.
  

Age: 22

Steam Name(Current): ManeGunner6

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): 584 Hours 33 Minutes 5 Seconds (counting every FRG server I've been on, yes I did the math)

Where did you hear about this server?: Spied on Moat's forums in August when I heard about Meepen splitting off from people on HarrysMod, saw FRG being mentioned, checked it out in September. Surprisingly worth it, though!

Have you ever been banned and why?: Nope. I hope it doesn't happen. Probably won't ever happen, but we'll see.

Why do you want to join?: Image perms on Discord and/or kool kat klub kred. Also because this server's actually pretty neato and maybe people might take me more seriously but that latter part is full of self-doubt on my end.

Referred by: Myself. Yes, seriously.

Additional Details: So is it wrong that I am largely doing this for image perms on Discord? I mean, aside from seriously enjoying this server to the point of building up a significant inventory, racking up a ludicrous number of hours and desiring to support it, of course.

Hey guys! Brass has already confirmed that there will not be a lobby event this Christmas. That being said, I know a lot of you have some cookies stashed away like I do. Every time someone uses cookies on the lobby nobody seems to want to do the fight. I thought it would be a good idea to schedule a day for anyone that wants to use their old cookies. If you are like me, and actually want to grind out the fight for presents, then join me on the lobby 12/27/19 at 7pm CST. I have 6-8 cookies I will be using but hopefully others will have even more. I'd honestly like to continuously grind the fight for a few hours. Hope to see you guys there! =)

ElectroRang:

Functions similarly to stormbreaker (Thor's axe) in that it zaps opponents in its path.

Should deal heavy damage in small increments for as long as a player is within range.

While active the player themself emits the same zapping effect to anyone near them and has increased jump height, mobility, and low gravity. (Mobility should not be as high as airang)

Similar zapping effect as the tesla coil proc from voltaic but not the same nor as effective. But has the same gmod electric trail effect. Players hit also get shocked jittering their screens.

As the boomer flies through the air it zaps the ground having a ground splitting animation just like the stormbreaker axe. The air around the boomerang turns a dark ominous blue.

Crafting recipe:
20 goldbars
1 Stormforged weapon
1 zeus hand catalyst
1 shock crystal
29 prim frags
37 leg frags
1 Boomerang Catalyst

Thee middle part of the video shows what I mean by it being similar to stormbreaker.

Maybe add a few maps that rotate around etc every week or month keeping all the primary maps, but keeping the map pool exciting. Its always a thrill to see new maps, and to see classic ones you havent seen for awhile but its also super sad to see some nice fun old maps not get picked since they are always there and 67th way is up etc. In csgo whenever a map change is made everyone is super hyped, or a map is removed/added from competitive pool.

Just thought this would be nice to add some spice without changing too much.

So non-rotating maps 67th way, etc etc etc. Could just take the data from the top maps and take the bottom 20 or so and make them rotate around (and maybe change it so that Map challs can have these Monthly Maps but would be called like Rotating Map 1 and these maps would contain x y z which all are in different map rotations.)

Maybe add some official groups in the server since theres always groups of people who want to do events etc, and it would be cool to have your group tag shown in the boss records and shit. Might be too much effort for what its worth but I thought it would be cool, maybe even have group points given to teams consisting primarily of people from that group (no more than 1/3 non group) and you can see whos actually good at what boss etc so you could see like group stats of avg runtime, losses etc per event per group. Maybe even some sort of group bank since theres some people who lend and trade a bunch and it would be super useful for storing event items that you loan among your friends since its not uncommon to see people loaning out azuredges etc, and then complaining they havent been on in months and they missed them.

Just thought it would be super neat, and would add an extra layer of prestige.

So ima clean that paragraph into bullet points
*Guild Board to see Leaderboards and Stats
*Guild Tag in the leaderbords room near your name
*Maybe even guild bank.

Negatives
-Most event goers in like 2-3 groups probably
- Effort of Coding this

***Maybe not worth the effort, but it would be super neat in my opinion even with its drawbacks***

I apologize if brass has talked about this before as it probs is something thats come up before (Ive tried searching around on the forums for posts about this but guilds brought up nothing basically, and group is a ton that is just a bit too much)

Map the event happened on:  N/A

Date of event: 10/14/2019 was the date of the initial trade, so i guess that time frame from then, to now

What Happened?:  On the aforementioned date, we did a trade for a one of a kind Scarlet, the agreed upon deal was 1m pure, a molten aug of the phoenix, and a vorpal ninjato of vortex with mobility boost on kill.  He said he'd get the 1m to me ASAP.  Normally, that is fine.  He has connections, he can get money through means.  There's some coin out there in the world.  This is also shortly before the shrine, so there was coin to be found, I assumed, ezpz, done, quick, gooddeal

Now, this is where things get a little... off.  In the initial trade he neglected to mention that he owed Ace some serious coin, like 2.5m coin, for about 2 months before me.  He claims to have forgotten, and i'll take him at his word for that, but he had a long time to tell me.  He finally did tell me towards the beginning of November, roughly the 13th (about a month later).  Which, this time is now after shrine, where the coin market got shotgunned furiously, naturally, that makes things challenging.  I understand that.  I believed he was waiting on reimbursement of money from brass on something, but I was under the belief he was gonna use that to pay me back, which I was incorrect in believing.  You will see as such in the evidence.

Apparently, however after paying Ace back, he bought both a bizon of some sort AND a trident.  Totaling out to ~700k i believe he said the numbers were.  Which, that doesn't sound like ASAP to me.  That genuinely got under my skin.  

Last saturday, which was the 8th, he said he would have that 1m in 1 week (mysteriously though, him saying that was deleted).  I told him the wednesday prior that if he did not have the money, I will be filing a report, it is now Sunday, 1 week and 1 day after, and not so much as a whisper about the coin.  I even offered a fair deal for a way out, 600k and the survive page, he laughed about it.  He is basically brushing this aside, as I see it.  He thinks he has no timeline, but ASAP is the goddamn timeline.  I have been mostly patient for the first month, but now, i grow VERY impatient.

In summary, he "forgot" details until a certain time, screwed around after paying back debt he owed to someone else, and now that i'm pressuring him, he's being a child about it.  I strongly recommend that other players do be careful in trading with him and having him go into debt with you.  If punishment is to be handed down, I trust the judgement of staff.

Witnesses:  Cheny Bedeny, Mamba, SkullyFluff, Nice_the_bear, Lil Yeet, Kawaii Daddy Niles, Vhoxel, basically anyone in discord or in game at the times I mention any of this in public or in game chat.
