    Grifball, if you haven't played yet, is absolutely amazing. Its like Halo meets Football (American). Red vs. Blue has just finished their inaugural winter season, and should be starting up a new season in the coming weeks.

    The official Grifball league website can be found here:
    http://www.grifball.com/home.php

    This past season boasted 9 divisions with 98 teams total.

    With the permission of TrueDarkFusion and the rest of the staff, I would like to start an official ForgeHub grifball team.

    Thoughts?
    Anyone else have any experience and would like to be a part of the squad?

    We need to represent!

    EDIT:
    No official ForgeHub team was made. I did start a team, but decided against the FH tag (mainly because we like to talk trash, and it wouldnt portray a good image for the site).

    Watch our progress at this link: Grifball
    The new season will be announced today I believe, hopefully it starts sooner rather than later...im itchin to get back on the court already

    Team Name: Thus I Refute Thee
    (it says that on top of the bomb, in case you didnt know)

    Team members from ForgeHub:
    Paralyzed King
    Creep1ng De4th
    LIGHTSOUT225

    Other team members:
    EverydayTragedy
    Jon Grove
    AychPKay

    Recruiting:
    We are only allowed a roster of 7, and we have 6 already. However we are potentially looking for one more player. Post here if you wish to be considered for an opening, you need to be experienced, and a team player. We will only take the best. ill be checking stats and what not and will contact you if you fit our needs. We don't need ball carriers, as we have 4. We need defenders/blockers. were lookin for the man that can wield both the hammer and the sword effectively, and will pass over a dropped bomb to smash incoming opponents.

    Don't call yourself 'Team ForgeHub' or anything like that without permission from the Staff. You can say you're from ForgeHub, but we want to always make sure we're being represented properly.
    And sorry, I never was appealed to by griffball :squirrel_wtf:

    If we had an official FH grifball team shouldn't it be comprised of site staff? Not just random members?

    Perhaps the team could be called "Forgehub Premium Members" or something to that degree. You know,letting people know that the team isn't comprised of actual Forgehub staff.

    Also, I've never actually played Grifball,but it doesn't seem too complicated so I would definitely be down on practicing and getting good and joining this league.

    Re: ForgeHub Grifball Team proposal for the upcoming season

    yeh i agree with you, as i said in the original post, id like to start an official grifball team with the permission of TDF and staff. We shouldnt be able to let everyone on the squad (perhaps an A team and a B team?), only those who represent ForgeHub in the best of ways and can display good sportsmanship whilst still being competitive. Thats why I posted this in the Premium Members forum... so we could weed out some of the bad apples ya know?

    @Creeping, yeh the game itself is incredibly easy to pick up, but once you get underneath the skin, its actually pretty complex with strategy.

    Yeah when u first play it it seems really simple, but if u play with people who r really into it then there'll be a ton of strategy.

    Re: ForgeHub Grifball Team proposal for the upcoming season

    How about " FH Premo Pwnors"
    you know since everyone uses the slang and you cna get around the not being allowed use ForgeHub Team as a name.
    Id play but i might be busy at the weekend(my opponent for 1v1 seems to be waiting till the last minute to tell me when hes free -_-)
    lol also ive only played it twice altho i thought it was fun :)

    Supa, lets wait to see if the FH tag is actually an option before we go hunting for other names. HorgeFub is pretty good...it is the name, but its not at the same time ya know.
    besides, id like to stay away from any of that slang because its only appealing to a specific group of people who actually talk/type like that... and its ridiculous (in my opinion)
