Forge Hub's golden anniversary of TGIF (#50) will run this Friday, the 19th of February and party leaders will start their parties at the appropriate time (check individual schedules below for more information). If a party is not joinable, that means it is full, therefore you do NOT need to send invites or messages to the leader asking to get in. It will not work! We all hope you have a great TGIF - play nice and have fun. Thanks for making this event awesome 50 times in a row! Here's to 50 more!
Please note that FH TGIF 1 has been cleared out - if you've been on them in the past you will have to resend a Friend Request! If you'd like to request a specific party, please sign for that party here and message the user pre-party start time for an early invite.
Sign up by posting your Gamertag in this thread.
Send a friend request to the following TGIF gamertag over Xbox live: FH TGIF 1
Each host's motto/bio will say what type of maps they're playing, and how many players are admitted.
You gain access to each host via 'Friends of Friends' of the TGIF gamertag you sign up with.
Join an available party according to the playstyle you prefer.
Get tired of a party and want a change of pace? Leave and join another! All parties will be set to Open, so change parties as you please.
Want to play Rocket Race for a few hours? Go ahead! Then when you get bored of it jump ship and join another party for a different style of play!
If you need help with time zones, please check out this thread.

A 50th TGIF screenshot, if we can manage it.

Insane54's TGIF of Awesomeness! #50!!!!
Host's Gamertag: Insane54
Start Time: 3:30pm EST
End Time: 5:30pm EST
Live Stream: Here
Rules:
We play between serious and messing around. Feel free to shout and whatever, but not incessantly.
Have a mic and be willing to talk. We'll all get to know each other over the 2 1/2 hours, and maybe make new friends.
No guests. All the room should be for TGIF participants. You're welcome to "hotseat" or switch people on the controller, as long as we're talking to someone.
Bad connections will be booted. It's not your fault, but it ruins the fun for everyone. If you fix your connection, I'll do my best to get you back in. The same goes for leaving the game for anything over a couple minutes.
Obviously, try your best to show up on time. I feel much of TGIF is meeting each other and becoming acquainted, so I've tried to design my playlist so that new friends will be made. Coming in late interrupts that, so try to be on time if you can. Also, slots have generally been really hard to get past the beginning, so try to be ready early!
Feel free to send me a polite message (please don't make it voice or a friend request, my gamertag is Insane54), at any time once the signups go up, and you'll be the first guys to be invited in.
If you can't attend the action personally, feel free to check out the live stream for some lulz.
I'll also need someone to take pictures or a video for a recap. If you're into that kind of thing, show up early to make sure you can save the video of every game, and be sure to post whatever you do in the Screenshots section for a possibility of it showing up on the frontpage!
Schedule:
I play a minigame/casual playlist with the occasional fun competitive map thrown in. We'll start with some minigames like Tremors and Cat N Mouse to become acquainted with each other, and then move on to some more team games. At the end, we'll play some higher level games like Clue and Tremor Blast, but overall I like a mixture of fairly new and classic games. Hope to see you there!
