"GAF isn't a way of life, it's the lack of having a way of life"

Alright @everyone, I'm doing a Christmas speech, like the queen, but a bit cooler, aight? It's also not a speech, I'm just writing a Steam announcement, but ♥♥♥♥ yourself nonetheless.

Merry Christmas you ♥♥♥♥♥, I love you all

You don't hear me say it often, but as we're celebrating the birth of the baby Jezuz, I thought I'd be nice for once. Whether you're in the GAF family, or part of the general community, or whether you've been here since the beginning of time or just for a few months, I'm glad you're here. Me personally, am happy you're here, even you Viz, yeah this is the only time I'm being nice to you so enjoy it, ♥♥♥♥.

GAF was born from a group of college mates a few years ago, and whilst we've had out ups and downs, we've actually built a nice little community here. Whilst the server died at one point, we built up again from the ashes like a glorious phoenix, and that's where we are today. Though I may not be a perfect dictator leader all the time, I've learnt a lot from previous ♥♥♥♥ ups and I'm proud to be part of all of us together.

Also happy that you've not organised a coup yet.

A community isn't a community without the people in it, so even though people come and go, people are active and inactive, here's some specific mentions that I think have really brought GAF up to where it is over the past year.

Mr Bird Jesus
In the ashes of GAF there only stood two figures... and, is that a pigeon? When GAF was having a tough time, you stuck here with me and worked to build this community back together, and GAF is here to return the favour if you need it man, if you need anything, let me know.

Tactical Bryan
The 3rd member of the almightly council power trio of GAF, stuck with me despite me being a ♥♥♥♥ and is one of my best mates.

Also stop ignoring my Steam messages you ♥♥♥♥

Gold and Tom
The OG's, my two mates that have been screaming Cyka Blyat in CS:GO with me since the beginning.

The GAF Family
I honstly ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ despise you all

But, I do see you all as some sort of ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up family. I'm genuinly proud of you all for the love and support we give each other when we're not trying to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kill each other.

Vizual
Honeslt surprised you're still here considering the ♥♥♥♥ you get, but I do appreciate your ♥♥♥♥ humour and you hanging around, thought I'd give you your own mention considering how much ♥♥♥♥ we give you otherwise.

The regulars
We wouldn't be the place we are without all of you, thanks for sticking around

So that's that, the one time a year I'll stop shouting at you all and be nice, see, this makes up for everything. Now back to the gulag, this coal won't mine itself.

I'm gonna be too ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on New Years to write anything coherant, so, dear all of GAF, we've had a fantastic past year, from 0 to this beautiful autistic community we have today. Hopefully next year will be even better, and we'll grow even more.
