I love you lads so much! Congrats to all of you and also everyone who visits and makes this place what it is ❤

In 2018, I set up the FG Awards as a way to recognise a few people within the FG family to say thank you for what they have done to help others. I hope that all will enjoy the awards and maybe start to hope one day they'll get one themselves. I feel proud we can do such things in a year which i know most would want to forget. I promised to have a good send off to 2020 and that's what we're gonna do below!
 

 
Young FGer of the Year
 
We've played years with him but its only over the last 6-12 months where we've able to really get him part of the group where he has shined through many raid completions on Destiny 2. Not standing for just making up the numbers either, he has been able to help many inexperienced FGers to their first raid clearance ever on Destiny and other more experienced folk to get their first ever clearances for newer raids when it was virtually at its hardest point. I can't wait for him to get more involved with everyone, as he has fantastic skills and extremely mature head on his shoulders that really helps explain even the most difficult scenario to most inexperienced team player. You should be real proud of that boy, Bob @Baabcat . Well done Charlie!
 
Winner - @Venom  - Charlie
 
 
FG Noobie of the Year
 
Its been a joy to have this guy around after joining FG in April and has embraced everything about what we are since. Getting involved on FG Fridays games, offering to be part of teams where possible to help achieve goals, putting his views across the entire of FG, including creating his own PPR for his trials and tribulations on PS Trophy hunting! He's always up to give anything a go and his positive attitude is what we've needed over such a turbulent year. FG is a better place with the small Welshman (who'd have thought it?). Well done Paul!
 
Winner - @slamminbones  - Paul
 
 
FG Guardian Down Award
 
The FG Awards wouldn't be awards without one being about making funny moments happen, even if they didn't intend it! When I think of every FG Friday this year, I always wanted to make sure he was there. He'll play some games even if he's propping the bottom of the leaderboard up, getting shotgunned in the face every 2 seconds, or getting smashed off the GTA track. His deadpan way of life is brilliant and we'd be lost without him to be honest. His love/hate relationship he has for games is just incredible as he will play through any type of crap to have fun with anyone here and that attitude and commitment you just can't buy. Don't ever change Gary. And thank you for all you do outside of this for FG. Always massively appreciated.
 
Winner - @techno  - Gary
 
 
FG Archbishop of Banterbury
 
This award was most jovial and joker of the pack this year. He's been in the FG Wilderness for a while now but since coming to the BIG FG meet up last October, we have been graced with his ever present glorious self in a multitude of colourful goop. He has a funny knack of being able to bring the fun whatever the occasion, in his sexy accent and possible beer smelling mouth. And even though he usually doesn't know what the hell is going on, I don't think this man doesn't ever not care about any FGer in this place. If he could, he'd do anything for you - and guaranteed to put a smile on your face via his 1 minute game videoclips of something completely random. We're extremely lucky to have you Cal!
 
Winner - @TheMuggySpud  - Cal
 
 
FG Skills Award
 
This could've gone to a few people this year. @Greboth still knocking it out the park in whatever he makes in Minecraft and Artwork, @Teenwolf25  and @FallenDark200 making strides in solo/2-man runthroughs on Destiny 2 activities and raids, @datfroggieguy 's capacity to eat all the camos and cod challenges for breakfast, @tronic44's clever base antics in 7 Days with everyone else chipping in.....the list just goes on. But for once, I see a guy who is relentless - and i mean utterly relentless - and finding enough clips of mini plays to cause anyone to go into full panic if we had to make him another montage video of just the past week (you should check his PPR out as its pretty darn amazing). He has a great attitude towards how to tackle certain challenges and shares what could work for people. I'm sure having his newly born premature daughter home for Christmas is a way better present than this could ever show, however Kenny's skills won't go unnoticed any longer! Top stuff, squire!
 
Winner - @IRaMPaGe  - Kenny
 
 
FGer of the Year
 
When I can't do stuff around here, it gets to me. And i've learned that even myself can lean on people even when I didn't need to. Not just keeping FG going, but moving it forward to something even more can enjoy in a year that we'd all want to forget is remarkable really. He's helped out massively with under the hood stuff, like moderation, donations, game days/nights, event creation...more than you people will realise. But above all, he's a geniune man that wants us as a family to achieve all the things we want to, on a personal and family level. He'll always be interested in what you have to say and probably felt like he's sacrificed many years of his life to this place in doing so! Like FG isn't the same with most of you all being around, it certainly isn't FG if Phil isn't around. Thanks for all that you do Phil, you sir a gent and a Legend.
 
Winner - @phil bottle - Phil
 
 
FG Hall of Fame
 
Each year I try to honour the achievements of people in the FG family that will show on paper, not just in real life that they will always be FG no matter what and rightly should be invited into the Hall of Fame. He is outspoken, volatile, random, hilarious, caring, hilarious, OTT, crazy and damn right impossible not to love (trust me, i've tried many times). It was never going to go much longer until this chap got into this because he built the foundations of FG. He built what why we're all here in the first place. When you realise at first hand the stuff I see in what's involved in everything that FG does, its incredible that we even started to exist in the first place. He lights up the room when he comes online, he even makes people laugh on the amount of times he then leaves the controller for his 53rd Poo of the night. But we wouldn't change him. And neither should anyone as that what we get with Diddums, right? Dave, thank you for all that you have done and also continue to do for FG. It never goes unnoticed in my book.
 
Winner - @Diddums - Dave
 
And with that, we're done! 2020 has been a dick of a year. But you're all here. We're all together, fighting the good fight and i'm sure 2021 will bring the best out in FG.

I haven't even got on to check it out dude! I'll try hop on later after I come back from my dad's gaff. I've been too stuck into DayZ 😍😍

Not sure if anyone still plays but there's a new heist announcement on a whole new part of the map. Whether it's permanently available to travel to or not I'm not sure but interesting nonetheless

[F|G] could be a good one. Maybe [|F.G|] if it allows 5 characters like MW19 allows.

I was a bit spaced out last night and Marina almost destroyed my headset at one point but this was a good laugh. Cal dragging a certain scotsman halfway across the map was hilarious. Will definitely play more.😁

Well there's the "story" missions which are entertaining enough. They consist of about 5 missions per story and so far I've seen 3 stories.
 
Then you've got the bounty hunter missions which pay out more if you capture the target alive but less if they're deaded. There's also legendary bounties that are harder but pay out more in cash and XP. Each time you complete one, the difficulty goes up for the next time you do it. Starts at 1 star and ends at 5. Good for grinding.
 
The trader and the moonshiner missions are kinda alike but there's a longer wait in between when you can do them. Level them up to 20 and you get a very decent payout. Very grindy. 
 
I'm not too sure on the other roles or the pvp though.

Shut up, Leigh.

Whats there to actually do online then? Have they fleshed it out with full missions that can be co-op, etc? A bit like GTA Heists?

It's so much better now man, easy enough to make money when you're sponging off of Aaron, Marc and Seb 😂

11-12 years I've been a part of this group (FG/FPS/MW2F) and seeing the amount of work you put into this Lee, is astounding, inspiring and makes me feel guilty for not being around here too often. (I already know you're thinking "you're not meant to feel guilty")
 
I'm going to make more of an effort around here to get involved, I'm just shit at sticking to things these last few years.
 
Lee, I love you.
FG, I love you. Even the lads I haven't officially met.

So @ChaosGladiator @Nutcuttlit @LordBaguette Marc and myself have been plugging away at Red Dead Online for the past week and it's been an absolute blast. Yesterday we got a new member joining the pisse (typo but imma keep it) in the form of Matt. 
 
Just thought I'd post here to see if there was any interest in you lot to join up with us  would be cool to get enough players so that there would always be someone on to chat to.

Definetly a lot more fun now than when it first came out and you couldn't even spawn in without being lassoed by the nearest cunt on legs to be dragged behind his horse until you died. 😄
