After some light interest shown, I have decided that it is time to host an FRG ROUNDS tourney!

"What is ROUNDS?"
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1557740/ROUNDS/
ROUNDS is a 1v1 roguelike shooter-platformer, generally speaking.
Each round is started by both players picking a power card out of a random assortment of five.
These can augment your health, your gun you shoot with, your blocking power, and more.
There are various rarities to the cards ( gray < blue < pink ) but more rare doesn't necessarily mean more powerful!
a few example cards you could expect to see:



You then shoot your opponent to death, avoiding stage hazards, and can even deflect bullets if you time your right click shield correctly.
Whoever loses the round gets to pick another card out of a new assortment.

"How will the tourney work?"
Firstly, post a reply to this thread to indicate your interest.
After the entrance cutoff date (4/29), I will input all the names into a program that generates a 1v1 bracket.
I'll contact everyone who entered on Discord to notify them of who they're facing, and to gauge what time both will be available to play.
We will play a Best-Of-Three matchup format until Semifinals and Finals, where we will play a Best-Of-Five format. Ideally, these games will be streamed by at least one of the participants in an FRG voice channel, but in the event that that cannot happen, the winner of each match will have to screenshot the victory screen to make sure there's no funny business happening.
It's also a lot more fun for spectators if it can be streamed.

"What are the rewards?"
The starting prize bracket will be as follows:

Finalist: 1x Huginn's Legacy, 1x Easter Bomb, 1x Easter Jewel + More

Semifinalist: 1x Easter Jewel + More

However, provided any community-submitted rewards, this can be expanded to more of the bracket or added onto the previous tiers.

"When will this be?"
Ideally I'd want to start this tourney 1 week from now ( 5/1 ) but that can be pushed sooner or later depending on the amount of interest shown.

"But that game costs money!"
While that is true, it is $6, and you can certainly refund the game after playing your matches

TLDR:
Game: ROUNDS
Date:
Entrance: By 4/29
Tourney : 5-1-2021, sooner or later as necessary due to scheduling.
Prizes: Huginn's, Easter Jewels, more.

Please give this game and tourney a chance even if you have doubts, and I promise you will have some fun.

Apollo/Helios:

Shotgun, Smg Hybrid. (Note the cso swep of this gun already includes a mode change within it)
Unique Perk: Egestas Solis (Curse Of The Sun) Has the ability to switch modes between a high damaging but innacurate shotgun and a more accurate and faster fighting SMG that deals less damage at the cost of the perks stated above

Shotgun: 6
SMG: 30

Damage:
Shotgun 15 damage 10 pellets
SMG: 15 Damage Per Hit


tbh im up for suggestions on everything about this.

Steam ID of Offending Player(s): (Steam ID: STEAM_0:1:517738968)

Map the event happened on: not really sure

Date of event: 4/23/2021

What Happened?: kid called me an er

Witnesses: Noctt and bonson

Evidence:

Steam Name(Current): Lavernius Tucker

Age: 17

Current Rank: Member

Have you ever been banned and why: I might have gotten banned for a name change midround a while back but that could be on a different server, honestly don't remember

Why would you like to be promoted?: I've become a lot more active on FRG lately thanks to my new PC and my 7 month break from FRG last year helping with my burnout issues, and with the recent +member snap I would like to help out with reports when I can. There's also been some new players sticking around lately and I'd like to help them where I can.

Why do you think we should promote you?: I've been around for about 2 years now and member for a year and a half, and I think I've handled myself pretty well. I think I'm capable of handling reports and I want to help out any noobs more often when possible.

Do you have any administrative experience: I staffed on an Unturned server for a few months in 2018

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.)

Blah blah blah, this and that and this and why I am departing blah blah blah.


Busy with irl crap, (family member's death, and making a full dedication to schoolz for now and til I graduate, ugh so boring), unexpectedly so y'all won't see me for at least a month. Even then I will prolly be on less overall in times other than summer.


Doubt anybody would really miss me a whole lot, but I figured I should have an explanation for those that are ever confused by the sudden peace of mind.


So yeah, bye frg. I hope I will eventually find myself coming back here but I may possibly be gone longer than a month.


Also due to my unexpected break could my +mem app be auto-denied or something? Idk how that stuff works regarding making the thread and taking an unexpected break.

i really appreciate the opportunity to play again, i had a lot of fun playing while i could! but it seems that the black parade forgot to unban me

here's my original thread where my appeal was approved: https://forerunnergaming.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=10094

Directional Discombobulator

This weapon lobs an impact airblast grenade that directionally launches players that are within its blast radius.



Proposed "stats"
- the user of the item is affected 2x more by the grenade effects
- airblast grenade travel speed and range similar if not identical to normal grenades
- airblast grenades deal 1 damage
- airblast grenades do not affect player crosshair position
- the closer to the blast the stronger the effect (direct hit being slightly lower effect than dart gun hs) with close shots giving a significant boop
- 1 round in a mag (with a double E ability that loads 6 rounds with reasonable rpm)

Ideally (depending on how strong it is) it'd be cool to see this in the equipment slot but misc would work as well
