This week's TGIF will be running on the weekend of March 22nd-24th.
Welcome to the 5th TGIF of Halo 4! This article will be out on every other Monday of the weekend these take place, in case you were wondering. I'd like to start this off with an announcement, preferably in bold lettering, large text size, one letter being a slightly different color, and a different font.
This is the announcement:
The last TGIF was a bit slow, admittedly that was largely because of it being gone for so long and the late time of posting. However, we had a few Saturday lobbies in TGIF4, and they worked so well (from what the hosts tell me) that we've decided to continue that trend! From now on TGIF will now announce any group playing during the weekend from Friday through Sunday. Specific days of organization are announced on the individual lobby listing below.
Exciting stuff, I know, my lovely Halo enthusiasts (or whoever else is reading this; if there is a cat currently on your keyboard preventing you from reading this, I am terribly sorry). Let's get to it though, look below for the form to fill out to join up and for the groups playing this weekend. I hope to see you there. Now, for the copy-pasted section of this article.
What's TGIF? It's our biweekly custom game night, where you pick a host's party in advance, show up on the night and play a ton of awesome custom-made maps.
Can't make this date? There's plenty of community custom games being arranged at other times in the Customs Lobby.
How do I take part?

TGIF hosts will review the signups in order to determine who will be interested in their party.
You must send the party leader a message on XBL at the start of the party asking for an invite.
This is to secure a position in the party. You will be invited on a first-come, first-serve basis. However, parties will remain open to make joining easier. If you are not able to join and you do not receive an invite, the party is closed. Please do not continuously send messages to hosts.
The following lobbies will take place on the weekend of March 22nd-24th.
Audience's 2v2 Bonanza (of Dust)
Host's Gamertag: xAudienceofone
Start Time: 7:00 PM EST (8pm EDT) on Sunday the 24rd
End Time: 8:30 PM EST (Or when we run out of maps)
Rules:
-Microphones are recommended, don't ask for host, it will come to you.
-Play maps of the correct size, no maps where 2v2 won't work well.
Schedule:
-Strictly 2v2 games, the lobby aimed at those who want to test their maps out for the Dust-Up tournament before submitting them by the 28th of this month. It's no issue if you don't want to test for this tournament or use its gametype, but that's the reasoning behind it.
-Map rotation will be similar to how both TCOJ and FFC have been, with leader being passed around between those that need testing. The rotation will be decided by the order of which people sign up.
-If more than 3 sign up, I'll be swapping you guys out along the night if I see an attendee is waiting.
-Find the current schedule here.
-I've taken my xbox with me to the place I'm at for my break from university, but forgot to grab the power cord. SO. I won't be able to host this lobby. Any of you still feel free to show up and try to gather a lobby of course. You all have signed up for a time and you know you'll be free, so if you don't require me. I hope you can still find a group to play with, I'm sorry for this, but nothing can be helped at this point. Again, I'm sorry about this.
