Have you ever been banned and why: Karma bans a few times

Why would you like to be promoted?: I'd like to be able to handle reports while no higher staff are on, there's been a few times it's gotten annoying.

Why do you think we should promote you?: I've played on the server a long time so I have a fairly good understanding of the rules and I've also been member+ before.

Do you have any administrative experience: Just member+ once or twice on frg.

Do you agree to FRG's policy on applications(yes or no): yes
(By agreeing above you are agreeing that you understand you are not entitled to said promotion, and that we have all rights to deny or approve the application
for any reason we see fit, you agree to not stir up any trouble if the application outcome is not your desired outcome.
Failing to abide by this can result in a full demote, or perma-denial.)

The biggest thing I have noticed is the addition of a bunch of these new jewels that I didnt remember being in the server before.

I use mutable smg and eternal solitude so I also like to think about using jewels on those guns and also crafting good socket guns.

Where did you hear about this server?: FRG was mentioned to me by Meepen back in mid-2019 but I didn’t act on playing it until late 2019.

Have you ever been banned and why?: Permanent Ban: This was issued for countless toxic remarks and behaviour displayed over a long period of time, I was given many warnings to stop but I didn’t, nor did I take accountability until I was banned. I’ve grown a lot as a person since this was issued and feel as if this doesn’t describe who I am as a person anymore. I feel like most of the community now days get along quite well, obviously you’ll have a few hiccups here and there but honestly everyone seems to have come a long way.

Why do you think we should promote you?: I love this community and would love to help it. I'm on Gmod pretty much everyday and always on discord and available. I also have a lot of admin experience in Gmod servers which ill explain below.

Do you have any administrative experience: I was both a moderator and then an admin on a purge.xyz server which is very very similar to stronghold both in the prop rules and basing rules; I was an admin for about 2 years on that server.

Deadlock is an upcoming third-person hero-shooter-MOBA-hybrid game developed and published by Valve.
It is currently in Open Alpha. ( meaning you need to be invited by anyone who currently has access. If you would like to enter but do not have access, please enter anyway and let me or Originalmind know and we can get you an invite ourselves. )

The main mode of deadlock is a MOBA-style 3-lanes setup where you have to progressively siege the enemy teams' base until you defeat their ultimate defense, the Patron.

Street Brawl is a recently-released alternative mode where you play a Best-of-Five match of miniature skirmishes, and whoever defeats the opposing teams' structure first wins the round.
Unlike normal Deadlock, which uses traditional MOBA last-hitting mechanics to gain money to buy items from a shop, you get offered items as choices-of-three at the start of every round.
These matches are basically entirely fighting and micro / gameplay skill, and are much shorter than normal mode matches.
This is the gamemode we're hosting a tourney for.

HOW CAN I SIGN UP FOR THIS TOURNEY?

You can sign up as a team of four people : your designated "team captain" should post your team name and members (optionally with a drawn team emblem). The members should reply to your message in this thread confirming they're a part of the team.

If you sign up as a team of four, feel free to include any friends of yours who do not play FRG. They do not need to reply to this thread, just specify like : Loach [non frg] when you list your team members.

-OR-

As a single person who wants to be matchmade with others to form a team.

you NEED to post a reply in this thread to participate, and you must specify which of the above you are doing.

---

WHAT ARE THE GAME FORMAT RULES?

Both teams will, in the pregame lobby, randomly roll a hero to play. (We will probably use a spinner wheel for this externally, the "random" function ingame is not very functional.)
This is their hero they must play for the match, but each team gets exactly one trade where two people can swap heroes.

The matches will all be Best-Of-1-Game with the exception of the last 2 teams' finals match which will be Best-of-3 games.

WHEN?

This will take place on the first Saturday of February, 02/07/2026, in the evening.

REWARDS?

The First-place teams' members will receive the FRG ingame title of "Deadlock Tourney Champion" and very meaningful bragging rights forever.

you MUST post a reply to this thread if you want to participate. YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE WHAT KINDS OF ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO RECIEVE AS A GIFT!! (a "wish list")
this is just for my recordkeeping, if someone tells me in discord that they want to join, that message will be lost within the hour and i may forget. so you HAVE TO REPLY TO THE THREAD!!

Everyone should participate, even new players or people who cant think of something to give!
there are certainly items you can give which would be good gifts, and if everyone does, a lot less people will complain about the gifts they recieve

sometime in early december, when there are "enough" participants, I'll randomly roll a name for each person.
You are their "Secret Santa" and will trade me the item you wish to gift to them, after I have DMed you their name on discord.

it is very very highly encouraged that the items you gift aren't "worthless" and you'd be happy receiving it in turn.
It should be obvious what gifts are "good" and "bad" based on what you can afford to give, and there is hopefully even a wishlist for you to refer to.

these gifts will be handed out to the recipients when most have been received and hopefully on or around SATURDAY DECEMBER 20TH (NOW CHANGED DUE TO REQUEST FOR MORE TIME FOR THOUGHTFUL GIFTS)

Additionally, courtesy of myself and any other generous gifters who would like to contribute (DM ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE),
there will again be a "BONUS GIFT" pool to ensure that no one receives a "bad" gift

I will be continuing the Mentor program.
In essence, this is if you want to give an generous gift but only to new or newer players. DM me or CoachGrump on discord if you are interested in this and we'll explain the details.

New this year :

There will be a BRAND-NEW GIFT BRACKET SYSTEM.

=There is the Standard bracket, which is anything-goes within-reason. It does not mean you will get a bad gift by any means, it just means you don't have to give a ton out too. Post normally within this thread to enter this pool.

=There is also now going to be a HIGHROLLER gift bracket. However, there are a few stipulations :

1. All gifts submitted to this bracket will be reviewed by a secret, impartial group of staff, who will determine if it fits the spirit of this bracket.

2. These gifts, as a guideline, should be at a MINIMUM near-value of 100M coins.
Putting in effort or fulfilling your recipient's wishlist can make your gifts more 'valuable' - remember that your gift just has to pass reasonable approval by the Santa Council.

3. If your gift is rejected by the council twice, you will be banished to the GRINCH POOL OF GIFTERS FOR TRYING TO SKIRT THE GUIDELINE!!!! The best thing to do is OVERSHOOT

4. These staff will also heavily weight if the items are relative 'thoughtless filler' or not - if you are just submitting gold bars to meet the minimum and your recipient didn't ask for them, it is likely to be rejected!

5. If you want to join the Highroller pool, please include the phrase '67 67 67' at the end of your message to indicate that you read all of this.

6. DON'T BE A GRINCH!

7. please include a wishlist if you participate in this bracket.

Finally, Originalmind is going to give out, in order,

$80 IN STEAM CREDIT FOR THE BEST GIFT GIVEN,*
$60 IN STEAM CREDIT FOR THE 2ND BEST GIFT GIVEN,*
AND $40 IN STEAM CREDIT FOR THE 3RD BEST GIFT GIVEN!!!*

(also - I will be giving away $20 in steam credit to a random participant overall, and I am sure Brassx will add something to the pot.)

*if you are in the EU we may need to discuss an alternative

Feel free to DM me on discord at @pickle if you have any questions
Happy Gifting and remember to tell your friends to sign up!!]]>
you MUST post a reply to this thread if you want to participate. YOU SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE WHAT KINDS OF ITEMS YOU'D LIKE TO RECIEVE AS A GIFT!! (a "wish list")
this is just for my recordkeeping, if someone tells me in discord that they want to join, that message will be lost within the hour and i may forget. so you HAVE TO REPLY TO THE THREAD!!

Everyone should participate, even new players or people who cant think of something to give!
there are certainly items you can give which would be good gifts, and if everyone does, a lot less people will complain about the gifts they recieve

sometime in early december, when there are "enough" participants, I'll randomly roll a name for each person.
You are their "Secret Santa" and will trade me the item you wish to gift to them, after I have DMed you their name on discord.

it is very very highly encouraged that the items you gift aren't "worthless" and you'd be happy receiving it in turn.
It should be obvious what gifts are "good" and "bad" based on what you can afford to give, and there is hopefully even a wishlist for you to refer to.

these gifts will be handed out to the recipients when most have been received and hopefully on or around SATURDAY DECEMBER 20TH (NOW CHANGED DUE TO REQUEST FOR MORE TIME FOR THOUGHTFUL GIFTS)

Additionally, courtesy of myself and any other generous gifters who would like to contribute (DM ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE),
there will again be a "BONUS GIFT" pool to ensure that no one receives a "bad" gift

I will be continuing the Mentor program.
In essence, this is if you want to give an generous gift but only to new or newer players. DM me or CoachGrump on discord if you are interested in this and we'll explain the details.

New this year :

There will be a BRAND-NEW GIFT BRACKET SYSTEM.

Name of staff you were banned by: Not quite sure who if im being honest

Length of the ban: perma ban from discord

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: partially repealed

Reason for ban: Said some weird shit for attention

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: Yes

What really happened?: Said some weird stuff on the disc for attention when i was younger, and honestly was probably really annoying/edgy as well.

Additional details: I just want a partial unban from the discord so i can see updates and what not, im fine with being perma muted/not being able to type on it. Not really a excuse but I was not in a good place a while back, and wanted attention when I was neglected. I think that i've shown that I'm no longer a edgy teen who will spew gross stuff anymore, and have really mellowed out now that left where I was stuck. Of course a full unban would be great, but anyone can just say that they've changed, so im just asking to be able to browse. Its been a few years I want to say since I have gotten banned but after a certain point everything kinda just got blended together so I have no idea.]]>

Name of staff you were banned by: uhh i am unsure as it is a warning level mute and discord ban

Length of the ban: permanent

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: repealed

Reason for ban: self harm threats/ many warnings.

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: yes

What really happened?: uhhh so for the ingame 100% warning level it was due to me asking for a gilded reward chest during the rework and i was drinking that night and i said something along the lines of "no reward chest back to drinking myself to death" which was definitely very wrong to say it was not meant to be a self harm threat i was just trying to be funny and it was in very poor taste i understand that people are concerned about my health due to previous health complications and notoriously bad drug habits so i do apologize for anyone that may have concerned it was just a bad joke i am in fairly good health as of now. The discord ban was a little more mysterious as i was just timed out forever and then one day after being gone from the discord for a few months i rejoined and sent a gif and it seemed as if everything was okay and then the next day i said something else fairly mundane i think i asked brass how he was as it was during wildfires around the province and then i just got permanently banned from the discord being timed out sucks and all but being able to atleast read announcements, change logs, and system would be nice.

Additional details: I am expecting this ban to upheld as it does not appear many people want me to return to frg but i nonetheless would enjoy to be able to interact with other players in some way or being able to read or type in discord, i hope i can be given another chance and i appreciate anyone who read through this and took the thing to comment, thank you.]]>

Im not here to appeal the ban. I'm actually typing this to give you a thank you to you and the FRG community.

Ive been wanting to get away from FRG as a game for a long time. I found the exploit and similar exploits but never really abused them till about a week ago. (If you want details on how I did them lmk) (Swapping to 64bit seemed to fix one of them)

I want to say thank you for the fun times with FRG and even though I was absolutely addicted to the gameplay loop you managed to set up I want to say thank you for establishing an amazing community.

Lots of fun times, but recently and even long before, I've been trying to find a way out and there would always be a point or some reason that brought me back and personally it got in the way of my life. I'm a very intelligent person (I've been told) but I cripple myself into doing nothing with the stupid shit I get myself addicted to or waste my time with. (Games, media, not drugs or alcohol I don't even drink).

Doing the same thing everyday in a video game was never how I wanted to live my life and it felt like FRG was one of those things inhibiting me.

Edit 2: For the past many years I've been intensely depressed with the state of my life. When I get hooked on something I enjoy I indulge myself till I lose interest. I've always struggled with self control and getting out of my comfort zone and for a long time I was able to stop most of those addictions. FRG was one of those things that I could not control on my own and I would always eventually come back.

Now that I'm finally out, I am one step towards achieving many of my goals.  It won't be easy by I'm happy I got one of those steps further.

When I did the exploiting I was hoping and waiting for the ban. I honestly got worried that you wouldn't find it despite all the errors and console messages my game was spouting.
Edit: I came to find the exploit for the reasons stated above and because I was getting frustrated the time sink needed in order to make something fun and ttt viable, only for it to get gutted and now the time sink begins again making me spend more time in the game, that I don't have.

With that I want to say thank you for the fun times all these years and I hope you and the rest of the FRG family continue to enjoy your lives!

Thank you!

(PS. Make that gmod ban permanent please and if you would be ok with it, an unban from the discord so I can still talk with y'all would be cool. If not on the discord I understand)]]>

Steam Profile Link: i dont actually know how to link this. unfortunate!

Name of staff you were banned by: 26

Length of the ban: Perma

Would you like your ban shortened or repealed?: Repealed

Reason for ban: "repeated harassment, targeting (rdm), multiple warnings to stop and doesnt listen. brass said perma"

Did you commit the actions stated in the ban reason?: Yes

What really happened?: I harrassed and RDMd multiple people multiple times and continued despite a few warnings(including a week ban, iirc). The ban reason is pretty much correct.

Additional details: Copypasting the majority of this from the first unban request I made over 2 years ago. Its been coming up on 3 years since the original ban and I would like to think I'm less of a wanker now than I was at that time. Not much else for me to say other than "its been a while," and I can only hope that wounds heal with time in this case.

Here is the original unban request in case you don't remember me(if you don't, lucky you tbh), the replies there should fill you in: https://forerunnergaming.org/forums/showthread.php?tid=10475]]>
