Welcome to 2012! I hope everyone had a safe, yet enjoyable transition last night. I sure know I did, I was at work, sick, then I came home, sick, and played Skyrim throughout the night because my stuffy nose prevented me from achieving anything resembling sleep, sick.
That is just me, however. There are but 7 billion others in this world, you guys included, how did your festivities go?
Rank ChangesUnless I am mistaken, there weren't any rank changes these last two weeks! What a relief! Wait--but, I did forget to include one from last week though. "Neverendinghalo is blue and he would also like to know what this HUB PUB is all about..." (Inside joke)
But seriously, he's here for all of his work in our TGIF lobbies! Great work, my friend. Keep on rolling those parties out and you'll remain in your pretty blue hue.
Community Participation![l-col]
In case you haven't heard, our Foreign Treasures II contest is well into it's time allotted. It's not too late to join in on the fun, however. If you haven't yet started I encourage you to do so. As it is generally more difficult to achieve a well playing map of this genre with a small amount of time put forward.
Foreign Treasures II is a remake contest that is set to remake whatever your heart may desire from other popular shooters.[/l-col]
[r-col]Remake Standards:
All maps should be created to best resemble their original.
Bonus points will be given for weapon sets that "mock" the original. Keep in mind that gameplay is still a very important factor so attempt to balance between an original weapon set that works and a mock set.
All maps must play 4v4 Team Slayer
Contestants are allowed one (1) custom gametype which mimics the settings of the original game.

The Guilds
If you're new here and would like to help contribute to our community, maybe the Tester's Guild or Custom's Lobby is the place for you! If you log enough hours, you may just find yourself in a brand new rank! With this rank come the prestige of holding color on our forums, along with the added benefit of being able to access a few hidden forums.
If you would like to begin the trek forward to your new rank, there are a few things to take note of first. If it's the Tester's Guild you wish to join, please read over this thread for instructions. Alternatively, if the sound of TGIF Loyal rank draws you in, take a look at this thread to see the requirements to fit that rank.
TGIF hosts, please PM Pegasi with the template below filled out in order to get your lobby on the sign up page!

QOTSUSo last week, I was trolled out of existence due to one substantially minuscule error. In your replies, most of your focused on it as well. Luckily one person actually fulfilled the request:
This day, this day of joy, that has a gift or two that I take as a toy. It has a place in my heart, this day you see, and all days like this are good to me. Like it or not, this day is here, for you and for me. For all the kids who love this day, I love them too, for they are well. Those who don't live way far East, and have not heard of this day that we see. Spread this day far and wide, for it brings joy to you and I.
P.S. :One syllable pargraph hs been owned. kudos Pl0x?
This week, we're going traditional. If you celebrate Christmas, what was your favorite gift you received, and what was the best gift you gave?
OH! And now an important message from Bloo:
Tell the world I said "Ohai"
Bloo says "Ohai".
KBYE!
