Personally, I feel bad as I haven't put as much time into gaming as I would like to. Chalk it up to a lot of recent, personal RL shit. Divorce sucks and I really felt supported by you all when I was going through that. Now, met the new BF. Finally, sorta, getting in the groove to game again. (Over all that new love kak LOL) I will always be grrr and proud to be grrr. You know I'll be back :) Promise!

This clan has gone through ebbs and flows over the years, usually tied into the current BF title becoming stale. For some reason (maybe nostalgia has tainted my memory) but BF2 didnt suffer from a such a drastic dip in popularity as consequent titles. Any-ma-hoo, we have dabbled in COD titles, various co-ops like Borderlands as fillers.
My 2c, find a Multiplayer game that looks like fun, start a thread and get other grrrbians involved.
CS is Go.
Ark gave me a lot of fun and those interested should give it a bash.
Rocket League looks like fun too.

Find a fun game, get a crew going, get involved.

This is really heart warming. I think we should have done this a while ago already, discussion around perhaps perceived touchy subjects really helps especially with positive input, keep the thoughts and ideas flowing I say.
Maybe a bit late for attendance figures for this years awesome 10 year achievement, this thanks to the vision of some really great guys, the founding members and subsequent leaders we have this opportunity to celebrate a true achievement in the gaming community, not many clans ever get this far and keeping the vision alive is not always easy but well worth while even if at the very least to pay homage to those who have kept Grrr true to its vision.
I can not speak for everyone and reasons for being or wanting to be part of Grrr but for Onny and myself you guys have always been that awesome place, filled with friends who accept you as you are, to go for some lighthearted fun in a like minded environment when a break from every day shit is required.
I am sure we all need that every so often, I for instance love the banter as it without fail brings a smile to my face. I remember the first time I joined a squad with Onny and immediately got told to fuck off by Lee and Johhny, wow what a start to many years of admiration for such an awesome bunch of guys, each with their own shit but still taking the time to make whom ever joins for a game feel welcome no matter who, I mean come on, even accepting me the grumpiest, rude and obnoxious old man alive into the circle.
With that said I found your suggestion Grant awe inspiring, one does not always want to join and say howzit whilst guys are gaming for two reasons, often you are not heard and then come away from the experience perhaps perceiving that those who did not hear you are rude or simply because interrupting guys whilst they are in the heat of battle seems rude but if we all understand that this is one of the ways we keep the bond going then practicing it should become mandatory.

I think if any of the new guys don't make an effort or have a really good excuse for not attending grrrAge then they can be tuned an infinite amount of kak

The entire sentiment of this thread has been a theme for several years guys - when you move from everyone having a single purpose competitive game, then throw in the towel with it, this will happen.

Big Kudos to the CSGO Team, they lifted the GRRR tribe banner high, so they should be commended.

To those who simply join the TeamSpeak channel, even if you're in a different channel - Kudos - you are being sociable, or at the very least easily reachable, if you dont even login to teamspeak then you are contributing to this Room Elephant(why are there footprints in my butter).

Basically, if you are not joining Teamspeak, not using the forum, not contributing socially to grrr in some manner, then YOU are the Elephant. The problem, the elephant, the general discourse is that there is a segregation, yes, those who make no attempt to be part of the group (pointing at CSGO and/or BF or any other game for that matter is a RED HERRING - not the root of the problem at all, take off them thar blinkers) can stand outside the circle shouting in if they like, but are feeling excluded because they are excluding themselves not because they are unwelcome to join the circle.


Entitlement generation where everything must come to you, rather than making the effort yourself.... meh -- this is the real plague



Anyway, my 2c can roll over
