if you miss clik it should not be rdm since rdm is killing with no reson becus its dumb

Hey all! I haven't been active since March but I still wanted to wish everyone happy holidays. With Thanksgiving (in the US) only 12 days away and xmas only 41 days away I wanted to kick off the Holiday season with a giveaway.

I like to support my friends, when I'm able to do so, and since Brass is a close friend, I want to donate $200. I don't play the server anymore so donating that amount would do me no good. That being said, I am going to donate the money FOR YOU! There will be 2 winners of this giveaway each getting $100 donated for them. All you have to do to enter is post your top 5 favorite video games of all time and one you're currently playing other than gmod. As long as Roblox isn't in your top 5 you have a chance to win! (Sorry Unpoke.) Ezpz right? Good luck to each of you. I will pick the winners on black Friday 11/27.


P.S. If you are in a position, like I am currently, where you can support the server don't forget to do so. Brass works hard to make content that we all enjoy. Even if you can only donate $5 or $10 it helps. I pay $60 for console games that I put less time into than FRG. Hope everyone has a great holiday season!



Congrats to Ragnar and nice_the_boar!

Referred by: I think mousey said something once and Manzy

Additional Details:

Hi, My Name Is Manzy. I have observed a problem within FRG. This problem is that there is no reliable way to complete Grimms consistently. My solution to this problem is to stoke within the FRG Player-Base the idea that a Grimms will happen daily at a specific time.

I have created a google doc sign-up sheet to have players committed to a specific time within the week.
https://forms.gle/iHc4xBvnJkPWWD8f6

The daily Grimms will start from 4-5pm EST. I have also included a question on dietary restrictions to ensure everyone is accommodated.
If you sign up, and miss multiple days your name will be removed, feel free to resubmit the form at any point.


Now please enjoy some improv poetry.

ManzY mANzy manzy MANZY, manzy manzy manzy manzy manzy maNzy manzy mAnzy manzY maNzy manzy. maNzy manzy manzY manzy, manzY maNzy.

Updates:
Inaugural commencement of Daily FRG Grimms was a success. Thank you to everyone that joined, see you tomorrow at 4pm est.

DEVICE FUEL + UNIQUES

Spoiler

A rehash of previous year's Coal would work nicely for the device's fuel, but, it could give you a smattering of crates and, pretty rarely, a gift-package style item called:
"Christmas Crackers"
these borrow from a tradition in commonwealth countries [read more on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cracker] but the gist is that you pull them apart, they make a cap gun pop noise, and there is a little toy inside.
leading into my following suggestions for what the "toys" could be, the intent of them being that they're just fun items:
-stack of Coal (hypers)
-Toy Kazoo:
"This little instrument can perfectly recreate all the music that the Ocarina can play!" -Kazoo Salesman
The Kazoo functions identically to the Ocarina. However, due to the fact that it is a lesser musical instrument, each one can only invoke one ocarina song, randomly rolled upon drop. Which one can your kazoo play? you'll have to find out manually...
-Bouncy Ball
The Bouncy Ball functions identically to how it does on the Bouncing Mayhem minigame round. However, due to the fact that FRG TTT is a game grounded in realism, you can only carry two at a time. Make them count!
-Dart Gun
uses model of https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/Dart_Pistol
revolver, has 5 shots, always comes with -99% damage stat but 1 in 1 Newton proc. funny nerf dart tracer
-Toy Lightsaber
uses the Beam Sword model sized down approx 75%
performs everything the beam sword can at 25% effectiveness (except deflection, because it is plastic.)
uses sounds that i will record making with my mouth if you actually want to use this idea brass

and finally, the Cracker's very rare godlike:
-The Hearthsword
model: https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/VULCANUS-9
"How did they fit this in that little tube!?!"
This sword functions as a normal melee akin to an uncharged star wrath at first, however, if you activate it with a combo attack, you will enter
"Christmas Fever" mode
The sword will ignite and people will have no choice but to look at you! you have the effects of the Valignatir sun, that is, people's gazes are drawn to you, but you are blindingly bright.
This is both an advantage and a disadvantage, for obvious reasons.
You will also take mildly reduced damage as a result and ignite people you hit with your sword's strikes.

And the Device unique:
The Snowblower
model: https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/Leviathan
Upon left click: Emits a pure cloud of cold that slows, eventually stopping the target entirely from moving their camera or player.
Upon right click: Shoots a Snowball that does minor (10-20) damage but slows the target for the entirety of the round by a small amount. Stacks.

Spoiler

Glacial [unlikely tier]
identical stats to how terranable rolls them, but with chance to get ice (non-snowbird ver.)

Gelid [Legendary tier]
Clip size very large (20~)
firerate very small (-35%~)
idea being that the tier has a lot of bullets to fire before it has to reload but it takes a long time to fire them

Scattersnow [Legendary Unique]
more or less a rehash of the scattershriek but with the inherent trait being the guaranteed slow trait as was on the Endurlock.

Spoiler

Droll [Primordial Tier]
Enhancable by kills.
Starts with all bars maxed out, forces you to make stats worse as you level it, EP only able to be gained if none is unspent. Gains a trait every 6 levels with a max of 36, at which point the stats revert to being full. Higher likelihood for the traits gained to be christmas related.

Block Blaster [Primordial unique]
model: https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/Brick_Piece_M777
Functions like the coal launcher in terms of firing and damage, but applying stacks of "Lego walk" to victims. These victims, upon walking while afflicted, will constantly emit HL2 citizen pain noises and take very mild damage. usually come with other traits and dots at a high procrate.

Christmas Challenger [Crate Godlike]
utilizes the christmas version of this model: https://cso.fandom.com/wiki/JANUS-7
Can be charged by damaging players, upon proc, you can use L+R click to shoot out a snowman head projectile. Whoever it hits is phased out (with you) to the Realm of Joy (the rift but more cheerful). Whoever emerges victorious from the battle will find their health and ammo replenished as well as being "Snowman Teleported" to a random location on the map.

Current Rank: Member

Have you ever been banned and why: No

Why would you like to be promoted?: I play a lot and want to help in part of removing these foul rdmers when staff isn't on

Why do you think we should promote you?: I think I have mellowed out at least 10% from the last time I applied. As I mature I understand more and more than this is just a game and won't be relevant to my life in 10 years. I learned to start letting things go and start having more fun with people instead of making enemies. While I know some people won't ever forgive me or will hold grudges to my past, I still hope to push forward and amend past misconducts. I still dramatize a good chunk of my actions in TTT, like screaming when I fall off the map, and while I understand it is annoying to some there are a good amount of people that find my dramatizing entertaining.

Do you have any administrative experience: Yes, Varying positions for about 3 different communities, spanning about 4 years total of experience

Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): Yes

Additional Details: I hope everyone is winning in No Nut or Nonstop Nut November and I hope you all will give me a chance to show that I can handle this position.

Age: 20

Steam Name(Current): Depressed

Time played on servers?: 247 Hours (TTT), 111 Hours (Lobby).

Where did you hear about this server?: Joined from scrolling through server listings, don't think I have played on another TTT server since.

Have you ever been banned and why?: No.

Why do you want to join?: The crafting system is really fun to play around with, most of the regulars are fun to play TTT with and the community in general is better than any other TTT server I have played on.

Referred by: None.

Additional Details: I played a lot during the last Christmas event but had to move to a place that is unable to get Wi-Fi in January of this year, and I have recently figured out/been able to afford a way to get stable cell signal to where I am living. All of that to say if everything stays as it is now I plan on playing regularly.

So I've recently returned to the server and I've been enjoying my time playing TTT, but I have run across a minor bug where my chests and keys lose their volume while I hold them in my Halloween badge. I will say that I was on TTT#1 when it crashed, it's highly likely that it's the culprit, but I have no idea. I'm fine with some of my stuff being gone but I do know some other people might get upset about such issue, thus why I'm here

Please help me help you
