Congratulations to all members and non-members who participated in our first game day and who helped to make it a great success! We have made many a friend tonight (one of which joinned our Ventrilo server for a good long chat).
As I write this announcement the game server is acurrently full and there are no GFC members in sight (it's time for bed for us all)!
May we have many many more game days like this to come. I hope we can get as good a turnout at our CS:S community game day on this Thursday at 7pm EST.
As some of you may have noticed when I was either creating them or discovered that the dates were wrong last night, we now have twice weekly gaming events listed on out Steam Community public group. These game days will start at around 7pm EST for the best effect (well, to get as many members involved as possible).
So far we have every Tuesday listed as "Team Fortress 2 Tuesday" and every Thursday listed as "Counter Strike: Source Thursday". We also have a public Community Discussion organised on Sunday 22nd March where we will talk about the past few weeks and how everyone thinks some of the recent changes are going. We will also discuss the direction the clan will be taking and what we have planned as well as what we have hoped.
For a bit of extra fun, check out the discriptions of the events on the Steam group's events page (linked below).
It about time we had some themes around here! Well, to be hinest, I broke the Dark Fantasy theme while updating the forums so added these 2 themes I thought were nice and downloaded before the update :P
We now have the theme's Zero and Vivid Stripes.
You can change the themes at the bottom of every page or check out the new themes here:
Happy new year everyone! May we have many many more to come!
And I'll take this once a year oppertunity to say this. Greetings from the future GFC! The year 2009 is really shiny, look out for the update coming soon to a time zone near you.
Looking back on the past year, we've had our ups and our downs, mainly starting as downs but we have worked our way up and gladly finished the year on a high note. The clan in thriving, everyone is gaming together and we are making a lot of new friends, not all of which have stayed with us but there are those who are.
May the year 2009 bring us great prosperity to the clan and may we recruit a great many more members to our ranks as we grow!
