CM Applications

Discussions continue in the Think Thank regarding the Community Manager applications. We thank all the veterans, staff, former staff, and other Think Tank participants for their input on these applications. Think Tank discussions will be concluded Sunday the 28th of June. Voting will then commence among the current Community Manager Team, the Moderators, and the Admin. There is no solid date when a decision will be made, but we can expect to hear something a week after voting begins.

Nostalgia Hits FK

After the release of C&C Red Alert I was hit by a wave of nostalgia bringing me back to when I first fell in love with gaming. I wanted to revel in easier and simpler times so I asked all of you: "What made you a life long gamer?" Here are some of the answers.

I used to go to a friends house after school where we would play CS:S and Black Ops on his PC and Playstation. We could sometimes sit until we were kicked off by his mum (like midnight, but whatever), and would continue the next day when we woke up. It was some of my most fun times when we would 1v1 snipe battle each other on Nuke Town or he would show his BHOP skills.
So when Minecraft came out I bought it a bit after him and he showed me how to play it. My brother and I would litteraly race from the door to be the first to play every day! It was fun times indeed. Then I at one point got my own PC and started playing other games like World of Tanks and whatever was on Y8. Overall I think Minecraft really was the game that made me the gamer I am today.
5/7 would play at 2am again

What got me into gaming was the Ace Combat series on my PS2. I started playing Ace combat 5 in 2004 and after playing that I went and bought all of the older and newer ones games in the series that got released later on. #BelkaDidNothingWrong
After that I went and played COD2-3-4 and MW2 on my PS3 which I got bored of quickly since it was just the same to me. Then I switched to Battlefield Bad company 2 which got me hooked into the series in turn I spent 10+ years playing BFBC2, BF 1942, BF3, BF4, BF1 (Which was trash) and BF5 (Which was also trash).

Trainer's Corner 

New tag appointees will now be recognized in upcoming INTREPs

To acquire tags in any discipline it takes time, effort, and skill. New tag appointees will now be recognized in the last INTREP of the month starting now. We want to be able to take our time to congratulate those who put in the work and have earned their tags. If you're interested in gaining tags for any discipline please check out our training area on the forums.

Medical Training Team Update

The surge of new medic evals and training sessions has been handled and @Griffin68965 has stepped down, allowing @FloofyFloof to be appointed to Medical Trainer.  Though things have been rocky for the Medical Training Team here recently, the training team and the staff team are confident the hardest part is behind us.

Sorry about the late INTREP guys but we wanted to make sure the Rainbow Six Siege Tournament got the proper amount of attention on the front page. Due to this our next INTREP will come out on the 13th of July - and that will be the ONLY issue for that month. INTREP schedule will return to normal in August.
