April 15th, 2013 changed the lives of the people of Boston and its surrounding communities. Since the National Grifball Association (a Nonprofit Corporation) is headquartered out of Boston, we felt action should be taken on our behalf to help our fellow citizens in this time of need. Over the next two weeks, we will be holding multiple "marathon-themed" Grifball events, and we have an open charitable donation campaign on HopeMob.org. Donations are now being accepted, and will continue to be open throughout the events. Please give generously, as every donation will completely go to The One Fund Boston, Inc. We are pleased to announce that so far, we will be giving away download keys to two great games from Fire Hose Games (@FireHoseGames), which is run out of Cambridge, MA: 10 codes each for Go Home Dinosaurs and Slam Bolt Scrappers. We have also received 26 Boston-themed prize packs from Yawkey Way Report (@YawkeyWayReport), a publication about the Boston Red Sox, and Beantown Collectibles (@BTCHeadquarters), a sports-and-geek memorabilia retailer. Both of these companies are run out of Boston. In addition, the fine folks at Halo Waypoint (@HaloWaypoint) have agreed to donate a Halo-themed XBox Live download to each donor in our drive. This includes themes, Avatar armor, props, and picture packs. If you are reading this, and would like to help us in the way of sponsorship, please send an email to "[email protected]" or "[email protected]". Our most sincere thanks to our generous donors so far! EVENTS May 4th 6:00PM Eastern - May 5th 8:20PM Eastern - live 26.2 hour Grifball stream.

From Gastric Timmy: Those who abstain, shall not complain. Come join us tonight over at Grifball.net and get a sneak peek at the possible game and map variants for the upcoming season! Two nights ago we tested a no-shields gametype and map - both were very well received by almost every participant! Tonight we'll be focusing on a shields variant that's up for consideration, played on what I think may become one of most iconic and memorable maps. The NGA is looking for participants for full test runs tonight (April 26th), from 10pm-Midnight EST. Simply jump into the NGA chat, where game host names will be posted-open and ready for joining - you can also pre-register as a team or individual player. Feedback will be welcomed from participants throughout this period in NGA chat. Don't miss out on this opportunity to be a part of the decision making process as we all eagerly await the best NGA season ever! Discuss in the NGA Forums Player Registration Team Registration
