Joining Gamerscoalition - FAQ and DUES - Updated April 2024

[Flitterkill]

Welcome to Gamerscoalition!


About Us:

In one form or another, Gamerscoalition has been around for a while. TWENTY years at least. We're a community of gamers (not a clan) that find value in good sportsmanship (and competition), clean and mature gaming, teamwork, and comradery. Things are good when everyone in the server shows respect, has fun, and works together. 

GC rolls with L4D2 10v10, and might add things down the road. In the past we have had Minecraft, Rust and CS, along with a few other games here and there.

Our financial burn rate is no where near what it once was (good servers used to be very expensive...) and we have had ongoing support from our board members, admins and members.....that means that your contributions directly support our community (ie - you pay for the servers) more than ever. 

Admins and Board Members receive no pay; all dues are for the servers, keeping our forums and website rocking, or used for community enhancement. In fact they pay a higher membership fee and work behind the scenes to keep things going!
Our rules (condensed):
- No swearing
- No porn sprays
- No racism, bigotry, or other disrespectful comments
- Don't argue or debate with admins in game. Use our forums, please.
- All of the above goes for both voice and text comms in-game (or over Vent)
- No Hax. We have zero-tolerance for hacking, auto-aim, etc.
- Just because a game is "mature" does not give you leeway to break any of the above rules even if the game characters do or say "stuff"

This is not a complete list of our rules. A complete list does not exist. You are asked to use your best judgement. GC does reserve the right to remove any member at any time with *no* refunds. Seriously. Good people have been caught red-handed with hax. And they have been shown the door. If you need hax to have fun, this is not the place for you. Also, do not think that being a dues paying GC member cuts you any slack on these rules. If anything we hold Coalition Members and Coalition Admins to *higher* standards.

PLEASE!
This isn't a joke. If you are just dropping $15 to get a reserve on our server and then proceed to be a dick - yelling, swearing, griefing bad attitude, all those things - you're gone. And we'll keep your money. Far too many people are in it for the reserve and not our standards or the community. We will ban you from the server you bought a reserve on. A GC Contributing Membership is *not* just a reserve...

Membership Levels:

GC Member: $15/year, 1 year reserve slot (you won't be kicked when people join the server and you're already in game), members-only forums, member-only in game chat, other random perks including surprise merchandise/gift certificate giveaways and access to merch purchases before the rest of the rabble.

You can also choose to pay $2 per month to try us out, or perhaps you know you can't play all the time. You can make these as one-time payments or set up a subscription currently.

GC Admin: $30/year, includes all of the above, plus: 1 year sourcemod admin access (no rcon), admin-only forums. REQUIRES: member for at least 90 days, successful application.

 

Tiered memberships will be introduced at some point which will offer special tournament bonuses (think... a real in your hand gift card or something) and in-game content. We are working on it! 

How to Join:
Anyone and everyone is welcome to join GC, just don't be a dick.

Please include your forum name, your Steam ID and use an email address you check regularly when you join!

GC now has a safe and secure storefront. Currently our payment method is Paypal and you can use debit/credit cards through that. We hope to add some more payment methods in the future.

The Store page can be located here:

IMPORTANT!
When entering in the field "SteamID", make sure it's the STEAM_x:x:xxxxxxx you see when you type "status" in the game's console window when connected to a server, or go here and enter in your steam profile URL. We can't get your reserve slot set up unless we have that. 

At this time, memberships have to be manually entered into the new system we're making. We hope to automate it in the future. In the meantime please message looneypumpkin, Soda or cc to be added as a member. We all have day jobs and work when we can. Weekends are the best time to catch us. You can always message us in Discord or on Steam, or via the forums!!
