TGIF 13 will run on Friday April 29th and the party leaders will start their parties at the appropriate times (check individual schedules for more information). If a party is not joinable, that means it is full as all parties shall be left on "OPEN". Therefore you do NOT need to send invites or messages to the Party leader or Party Members asking to get in. It will not work! We all hope you have a great TGIF - play nice and have fun!
Sign up by posting your Gamertag in this thread.
Send a friend request to one of the following TGIF gamertags over Xbox live:
Each host's motto/bio will say what type of maps they're playing, and how many players are admitted.
You gain access to each host via 'Friends of Friends' of the TGIF gamertag you sign up with.
Join an available party according to the playstyle you prefer.
Get tired of a party and want a change of pace? Leave and join another! All parties will be set to Open, so change parties as you please.
Want to play in The Arena for a few hours? Go ahead! Then when you get bored of it jump ship and join another party for a different style of play!
If you need help with time zones, please check out this thread.
Cryptokid's Bring Your Map To Work Day
Host's Gamertag: Cryptokid
Start Time: 5:30 PM EST
End Time: 11:30 PM EST
Rules: Bring favorite map or two of your choice to the party and we will play it.
Host's Gamertag: pinohkio
Start Time: [4:30pm EST]

Rules: Don't be an idiot
Don't ask for leader

Schedule: CTF -> Minigames -> Invasion -> Map testing
Host's Gamertag: Blood Gulch 7
Start Time: 3:00 PM EST
End Time: Whenever I run out of maps, stop feeling like hosting, or the party dies out.
Rules: No asking for host, no constant betraying, no singing, don't be immature unless the moment really calls for it.
Schedule: Competitive MLG maps, various objective games. If the party gets bigger, I'll change it up to Invasion, BTB, and minigames.
Other Notes: I highly recommend having the Noble Map Pack, though it is not required.
Try not to become too intimidated when you see the word MLG. All that means is that it is a map/gametype that works well within a competitive atmosphere.
I recommend having a mic, but again this is not required. Since we will be playing competitive gametypes, your mic will allow you to tell your teammates to stick together and to give call-outs to them. This will allow you to gain an edge above the competition. Even if you don't have a mic, try to help by using non-verbal teamwork, such as assisting in shots, sticking together without being told, and helping finish off enemies that your teammate just put shots into. Again though, you don't need to use your mic. I mean, I don't even use one.
