Holy Cow! Its that guy Jed!
No way he is stealing Brash's idea?!?!?!? (love you buddy)

Well Ladies and Gentlemen, (And you Pri) Its almost that time for the yearly giveaway and instead of only having one we are doing two of them!
So, the basis is the same as Brash's other giveaways, post your discord name down below, maybe a hate filled message too for stealing this format.

*As usual I will use none of my hard earned cash for these giveaways as well as all in game FRG Stuff.

I believe that is everything that needs to be said. The following list will state all the items being given away and will be updated accordingly. Smile

Good luck to everyone that enters.
-Jed Smile

Special thanks to the following people for donating, <3
DarkHero, without them this giveaway wouldnt exist as it is almost entirely his items. SwedishSubmarine, Mr. Glitch, Bathory, and GoldenGuy.

Oh man this is a tough post to make.

NTG and then later FRG have been a massive part of my from 2013 onwards. I really can't understate how important this community has been to me. NTG was my main source of socialization and an escape from an unfortunate situation from the years 2014-2016. I spent a ridiculous amount of time on the server, probably way too much, but I don't regret it at all. I met so many people, made so many friends, and had a lot of unique experiences. Getting promoted to manager had been a goal of mine on the server for a long time and when I finally achieved that it was a massive highlight in my life at the time. Unfortunately, making a 16 year old manager/head of staff probably wasn't the best idea, especially since the server was struggling enough at the time anyways. Stepping down sooner is definitely something I should have done, but I'm still proud that I was ever manager at all lmao.

After NTG died, I took a bit of a break from TTT before migrating here. A lot of my old friends were here and I mostly just wanted to interact with a lot of you guys again. As expected, you guys were all super welcoming and I got a lot of help getting started on here. I remember Tarra giving me pretty much his entire inventory at the time which was extremely generous. So many others that I hadn't interacted with in years remembered me from NTG and did what they could to get me more involved on the server. Running events with Edit, Hockey, Enchantable, and Loqacious is probably something that sticks out to me the most about my early days on FRG. I had a really great time with you guys back in the day and never really found a group to replace that group for consistently running events.

Over the last few years I went from playing for hours daily to playing occasionally when I have the time. Unfortunately, having the time has become a pretty rare occurrence these days. My class schedule has been brutal the last few years and even when I do have the time I don't enjoy FRG or TTT nearly as much as I used to. On top of that, life has a way of kicking me in the ass every few years, and it has been one of those years. I've had a lot to think about the last few weeks. Like a lot a lot. I've pretty much completely revaluated and recalibrated what I want to do with my entire life moving forward and I don't think FRG should be or even can be a healthy part of it.

There is so many things I could say about this server, NTG, my friends here, and all the memories I have but it's hard to decide what to talk about and I definitely can't talk about all of it. Overall, I really just want to say thank you to everyone I've had the chance to meet and get to know here and thanks especially to Brassx for creating something that has been such a massive part of my life up until now.

I'm really going to miss you guys.

Additional Details:

I'm extremely bored and want to expand my music palette. Suggest some music (preferably albums because they're easier for me to engage in.)
Hit me with music from any genre, I'm not too picky.
I'll share a couple of albums I like.
(Play them through the website and not the embed, embed is extremely loud and stupid.)

Hey Rat-rush FRG slayers! With my love for the server and enjoyment with the content offered and all around with the community and everyone I meet I have decided from inspiration from The Black Parade's awesome maps to start mapmaking for the server. I have been practicing and getting better at using hammer and all of its goodness with the help of Parade. Today I wanna release out and inform everyone that I am releasing a new map to go into Boss Rush called Mori-Ortum. This map will hopefully take me to new heights (pun fully intended) with mapmaking and creating maps for either TTT or even new frg events.

I will disclaim as I'm tapping into more unique stuff into hammer map gimmicks such as moving parts of cover or obstacles to change the flow of the map will come in at a later date when I feel confident that they'll work as intended, also some audio and visual props will come in with it to help the map look more alive.

As said though this will be my first full map project for FRG and hopefully liked by the community by how it plays out. I love ya FRG and everyone in the community out there stay frosty and take care.

P.S. Thanks Parade for letting me use the boost pad models from water treatment 2 and also for helping me with mapping I never could've developed better mapping skills without your help  

TOP 10 FRG Characters 1 Being the Worst 10 BEING THE BEST!!!!!!

1: Brassx



Really men to me, and never let me on the game to game and he Hurt my feelines and broke my heart into a million pieces When Rik came on the forums and impersonated me I felt like I was playing a real life game of among us@!!!!!! I had to join the discord as soon as possibel to make sure everyone knew who the real cobaltgeo was But I was banned instantly by Brassx's Girlfriend!!!/Wife!!!!/Ex-Wife!!!!! which brings me to my second pick which is #2 and #2 is

#2: Graasx



Grassx has always been meaner to me than Brassx!!! Honestly she should be 1 if you ask me #2 isn't really the right place to put her but she's here anyways instead of brassx because she's #2. One time she yelled at me!! I hatged her so much I blocked her in game, Then I couldn't hear Grassx type anymore! That really owned her and showed her who was the boss to her, Anyways I'm going to talk about Tres now, Tres I'd say we have had a long rival, kinda like an anime and honestly I don't even know where we stand right now, Or if he's even alive

Tres: Unpoke



Sorry guys I lied, I was writing Tres but then I remmebered about Unpoke and well, He can't be Four he has to be Tres Unpoke is probably the worst, If he was he would be at 1 honestly he deserves one but Brassx is 1 and well Grassx is #2 but if you ask me Unpoke should definitely be 1 not Tres anyways...


EXTREMELY RUDE!! He quit being a manager just so he could call me retarded

Said alot of words that hurt my feeling and accepted ZERO of my maps!! 0/10 Manager

Four : Tobiasx



Tobiasx apparently goes by 2Bias now, But I don't care his name is Tobiass and it'll always be Tobias no matter waht he says, Sorry Facts don't care about your feelings Tobiasx is like an Anime Rival, I hated him and then we loverd eachother and then we hated eachother again, He hated and loved me so much one time over Pm he threatened to call my ISP on me,uh oh!! He gave tips on my maps but he was also an asshole but he still loved me because that's what anime rivals are for but the last I heard he went to fight in Palestine for Israel and maybe he's dead, No one rreally knows atleast I don't, Is he dead? ORR maybe he stopped fighting and found love in the midst of war This brings me to #5 we love him we hate him, He hates himself because of his own race and ethnicity and heritage and religioon, Give it up forrr

#5 Terran



Terran is awesome but kinda weird, So he's just like me!! So maybe he actually deserves #10??? I believe if me and Terran were neighbors we would be like brothers from other mothers, We would get up to all sorts of canadian shenanigans, Like going to tim hortons or going to Quebec but I don't speak French and I'm sure Terran doesn't even know about france, So we would both be lost... and it would be a whole misadventure we'd have laughs we'd have tears we'd have pain it would be like if Family Guy and The Simpsons got together But Terran has some demons deep inside of him, He is jewish yet he hates Jews, Maybe he got over it and does Kwanza instead of Hannukah But power to him whatever he does, BECAUSE IN AMERICA, EVERYONE IS FREE!!!!!!!!!!! Speaking of America lets talk about someone who isn't in America

6 - Sr Paps



Should be #1 I hope the Mexican Cartel Killed him or whatever....

777 NUMBER 7 #7 777 7!!!: Rotshout



Okay, Rotshout is genuinely nice, He's actually stuck up for me before felt bad for me before Was even disappointed after the whole Sr Paps thing not angry at me or anything, Just disappointed. I think out of everyone in FRG he was genuinely the nicest person, Anyways abck to the satire One time Rotshout told me his cat got killed by a hawk and to this day I still find it hard to believe, I mean why would you let your cat outside? I know Hawks can get rats and snakes and stuff but a full size cat?? Idk just kinda sounds far fetched

4 + 4: Black Parade


Its not that he was nice or anything I mean at times he was a dick to me but really that was everyone for well deserved reasons He makes dope maps and I don't know how to map but also he had to come in one time when I was playing on my alt and he confronted me and all I could was cry on the Mic and it was really awkward and he felt bad and didn't ban me but then eventually someone else made the decision to ban me so Idk.. anyways

#10: Cobaltgeo


SURPRISE IT WAS ME WRITING THE THREAD ALL ALONG!!!
SOME PEOPLE MAY BE WONDERING "WHY THE BREAD?" BECAUSE I'M ANIME AND BREAD HANGS OUT OF ANIME WAIFU'S MOUTHS okay! FROM ME POURING MAYONAISSE AND MILK ON MYSELF TO MY weird teen years I'M PRACTICALLY A DIFFERENT PERSON EACH YEAR but I'M STILL COBALTGEO BABY AND I'M MAKING MY GRAND DEBUT MY RETURN TO SOMETHING NEW I'M BACK AND MORE COBALT THEN GEO OR MAYBE I'MMORE GEO TO COBALT, EITHER WAY I'M COBALTGEO AND I'M #10!!!!!!!!
