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.

Steam Name(Current): Philip

Age: 21

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.

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

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): 95 hours

Where did you hear about this server?: Probably from NTG, its been a long time

Have you ever been banned and why?: I believe not, at least not recently

Why do you want to join?: I've been really enjoying playing on the servers and being a part of the community again and think its a great time being around all the old and new members.

Referred by: N/A

Additional Details: I should probably use my mic more and its been good to be back.

Sorta new, sorta not, but whenever i try to join the lobby get stuck at this download point and it wont ever move past. Ive tried booting up with both the FRG launcher and just straight through GMOD. Plz help

Steam Name(Current): shmoney dance

Time played on servers?(!time username to check): 1734 hours on TTT and 961 on lobby.

Where did you hear about this server?: honestly no clue anymore, probably just stumbled upon it one day.

Have you ever been banned and why?: yes, i was banned for toxicity, reasonably.

Why do you want to join?: I don't have a good reason, I just feel like having member again would make me feel a little less left out, though it probably wouldn't.

Referred by: nobody.

Additional Details: If I say something that could be taken as offensive or rude I most likely don't mean it, though if you do feel hurt over something I say I will do what I can to not say it around you, or just not say it as a whole, I've been trying to cut down on unnecessary comments that could potentially be rude to someone, and with that being said, thank you for reading.

Age: 16

Steam Name (as of now): I Fear Leif

Time Played on Servers: FRG Lobby: 20 hours and ten minutes, FRG TTT: 50 hours and 20 mins

Where Did You Hear About This Server?: I found this server on my own, I had never heard of the server before I found it while joining TTT lobbies on the server browser.

Have You Ever Been Banned and Why?: I have never been banned before and the reason why is because I am a responsible adherent to the rules and I try to be a positive member of the community.

Why do You Want to Join?: I wanted to join because I have really enjoyed the server thus far and so I wanted to make a positive impact on the community by being a good person and active member inside of the TTT and Lobby servers.

Referred By: None

Additional Details: I personally see myself as loud and annoying and would not be surprised if I came off as obnoxious. I can get salty sometimes but I make sure to not take it too far. I enjoy the FRG Minecraft TTT server more than TTT#1 because I enjoy playing with groups of around 6-14 people, and due to this I will try actively to populate that server whenever I get the chance. I can be a little toxic sometimes but I will never take it so far as to personally attack another player verbally or in text chat maliciously. If I ever RDM a player on accident in TTT, I always make an effort to apologize and I always make sure to state that it is fine to report me for it. I am fully willing to accept the punishment that I deserve whenever I accidentally RDM another player. I know I may have been saying that this happens if I accidentally RDM another player, but there are other scenarios that could occur that I would respond similarly to. An example of this is if I RDM another player because I misinterpreted what somebody said in voice or text chat.

Steam Name: SkorpioneLv5Sa27

Time played on servers: 583 hours give or take a number of minutes

Where did you hear about this server?: It's been a long time since I found the server, my guess is I just found it server hopping.

Have you ever been banned and why?: No I don't believe so, at least not as far as I can remember.

Why do you want to join?: This community keeps on bringing me back no matter how many times I leave, It is probably the only reason I play G-mod at this point.

Referred by: Lily, However they told me I should apply a while ago, and by that I mean months ago, but hey when I say I'm lazy, I'm lazy

Additional Details: half the time I'm on the server I am High. The only reason I got around to making this application is because I'm fresh out and clear headed XD.
