Hello I have thought of an Idea

During Map vote, I am suggesting a system known as MAP MODIFIERS it is a pretty common system inside of some games to bring rewards along with negatives. +1 Positive (Triple Scroll Progress or Daily or task, Double Loot Orb Chance) +1 Negative (Not entirely needed but All traits are disabled or hitbox size reduced) I can't think of too many negatives but you get the idea. It could be a chance kinda like Lucky map. I am sure more people of the community could come up with some more ideas.

give me rank NOW

So, I'm so burnt out on FRG that I feel like leaving for a while. But making a lame post about me being tired is so dumb! Instead, I'm gonna host an Open Fortress tourney. First place gets a bunch of cool stuff and maybe garbage, second place gets NOTHING.

Open Fortress, for those who don't know, is a Source mod for Team Fortress 2 that transforms it into an Arena shooter in the likes of Quake. Lots of weapons, powerups and most importantly, bhopping (speed is fun.) I thought it would be pretty cool to host this because the game is fun.

I have enough faith in myself that the ruleset I made will result in the tourney not taking too long and still be fun. So here goes:
Matches will be Free for All
Map timer will be 15 minutes
Frag limit for the map will be 20
First to three wins gets the prize pool

The prize pool contains
Firework Launcher (Liberty, Independence)
Virulent Harvester
Spine of Sothoth
Ender of Dreams
Allegiance (Alert, Flash, Healing, Lift, Black Hole, Teleport)
Swappy Bunny Dart Gun (lol)
Present TP Glaedr (Extinct soon™)
16 Liberty Jewels
3 Tribulated Amythest
Professional Easing Rune (Thank me for Oblivion)
10k Gold Bars (WOW)
Noctt has graciously added on to the prize pool, for what reason I dunno!
Bloodsurge
HS Refill Calamity
Spine of Sothoth
Artillery Shell Cata
Dawnripper

The tourney will be hosted on July 23rd at 7pm CST, so it'd be best to practice and learn the game by then.
I will hand out the server IP by then in the Discord and in this thread.
You don't need to signup or anything, just join the server IP when it's up. There will be a password that I'll provide.

Here's hoping it won't end in disaster, either way it will be funny.

Name: Lumina ( This is a destiny 2 handcannon... but changing it from a deagle to a pistol could be interesting )
<Destiny Perk - Kills with this weapon leave behind Remnants. Absorbing a Remnant converts your next hipfired shot
into an ally-seeking Noble Round and partially refills the magazine.>

[ Trait/Function - Kills with this weapon leave behind remnants or souls etc., could just use a reskin of spine souls and
once you get enough of these you can shoot an ally to give them a damage buff for just a really short amount of time
(maybe like 5 or so seconds) whilst also refilling half of the magazine. This buff will also give a very, very small heal
(5-15, tops) and grant yourself a very short and slightly less powerful damage buff. ]
 |
 |-> Could make it so that when you have enough of this resource you press right click to shoot the buffing shot
       (both cso models have animations and such)

I was kind of hoping this could be used and is able to be used in a variety of events as a means to add just a little
bit of spice in the metas of said events whilst giving players who want to take on a support role an actual support gun

*the balance for the damage buff should be determined on the efficiency of remnants
+this could just be a reskin of the spine but in reverse... *

CSO MODELS I thought could work:
https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/Hunter_Killer_X-45
https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/Supreme_Sentinel

Particularly I think Supreme Sentinel would fit the theme (heal) a little more while maintaining a soul sucking vibe

Referred by:  N/a

Additional Details:

I'd like to get back into making weapon skins as I did for NTG, so I decided to make a few proofs of concept.


Progressive Kill Weapon Skins

As players begin getting closer to weapons reaching 5,000 and even some nearly reaching 10,000 kills I thought I would begin creating Prestige skins for each weapon base..

At 5,000 kills on any BASE weapon, the player would receive this option in the right click menu:



This would allow the player to freely change in between Prestige skins and the base skin of the weapon.

at 10,000 kills inside that option would of course allow the changing between the base, 5k kills, and 10k kills skins.

These are just the first 5k and 10k skins I've created so far to give you an idea of what they would look like (I've added the Base/OG AK for some perspective on the changes I've made)..




forgive the lack of lighting in these photos, wanted a good idea of what they would look like in a dark setting.


This would be a slow process for me, these skins didn't take terribly long to draw up, but I am short on time these days. I would prioritize weapon bases that people are near 5k or 10k currently, and slowly work to making skins for the less commonly used bases.

Thanks

UPDATE: created 5k/10k rifle skins




UPDATE: created 5k/10k M16 skins (forgot to put Statrak decal on for these images)



I will continue to slowly create more until Brass decides to green light the project, or doesn't. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

update: someone suggested adding an old school Golden and Silver glow to the weapons like NTG did, I agree, would make them more flashy.

Steam Name(Current): Ritt AKA: Derp-A-Doodle-Doo

Age: 23

Current Rank: Member

Have you ever been banned and why: Once in 2015 over a rule what was changed/ misunderstanding and was unbanned.

Why would you like to be promoted?: I lost the rank when I stopped playing from school and work. Have some more time now and have gotten back into playing and would like to help out where I can again. and in the time I've been playing since half the time there no-one on to handle reports

Why do you think we should promote you?: I've been member+ before and was generally helpful I feel.

Do you have any administrative experience: Moderator on TSS ttt server (shut down), admin on multiple Minecraft servers. (step down/ don't play anymore), pass member+. (and i mean a lead in a government job so like does that count lmao?)

Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): Yes
(By agreeing above you are agreeing that you understand you are not entitled to said promotion, and that we have all rights to deny or approve the application
for any reason we see fit, you agree to not stir up any trouble if the application outcome is not your desired outcome.
Failing to abide by this can result in a full demote, or perma-denial.)

Additional Details: its been a minute and there so much new stuff and although i know like none of the new crew its been chill.

Additional details: This happened a while ago, I didnt really have a motive, at the time I didnt feel like id ever want to play the server for real so I just F'd around but looking back and also being introduced to the server by my friend I have realised that I made a mistake doing what I did. Now I am very interested in the server as my friend has showed that FRG is way bigger than just ttt.

Hey fellas! It's me, everybody's favorite cock and ball torture streamer!

So I've been thinking about potentially hosting the well known "Christmas In July" event in honor of the memories and friends I made from previous events. It is all very nostalgic to me and it makes me think back to 2018 when I first joined the server. Running Asylum with Cheny, Skully_Fluff and Nice_The_Boar AND COACHRUMP HE WAS THERE TOO, resetting IoD over and over with Team Sweat to try and get the first completion and almost getting Unpoke demoted over a misunderstanding lmao.

Yeah shit's been tight so I wanna try and give some of it back to the community.

Here is my current plan: From July 10th to July 20th I want to pop five 2018 Cookies a day to start the server-wide santa fight.
After the fights are done I want to try and organize a "Marbles on Steam" giveaway EVERY DAY through Discord and give away most of my current tradeable inventory (there aren't really any heavy hitters but i think it's really fun to set up marble races and it's a fun community thing).
As for what time of day I plan on doing all of this, I'm thinking of 10:00 PM GMT+2. If you have any personal qualms about this then feel free to say so.

But yeah I think that's it, if you have any suggestions or wishes then by all means do tell me.
Until then I'll just be in my cave if you need me.
Cheers!
