TGIF

TGIF, or Thank (Tank) God It's Friday is a weekly event hosted by a Steel Beasts community member, and utilizing the Steel Beasts Teamspeak server. The event uses user submitted scenarios and lasts for a few hours every Friday. It starts at 10 PM Eastern Standard Time and anyone can join.

If you are new to multiplayer and you want to join, you should log in to the Teamspeak server at least half an hour before the match starts in order to deal with any issues related to routers, port forwarding, or firewalls.

If you are into making multi-player scenarios, you should submit them through SB.com. There are no rules for submission besides the scenario having to be original. The general format is for the scenario to be a head to head mission, possibly followed by a cooperative mission, although the playing of a coop mission afterward has become less common. It is designed for team based play.

History

TGIF was created by Nikatori on September 12 2003, as a way to bring the community together. After Nikatori stopped hosting, ShermansWar hosted the event. It is currently hosted by Sean. Although it utilizes the Steel Beasts website forums and public teamspeak server, TGIF is in no way operated, governed, or affiliated with Esim games. It is a community run event.

Campaigns

Many user created campaigns have been organized for TGIF or other specific times during the week over the years. Campaigns usually deal with some form of linked scenario from week to week that the designer creates on the fly or are premade in the form of a linked tree. Recently, more advanced forms of campaigns have been created where the commander from each side "purchases" reinforcements from week to week from points gained by capturing on map objectives and / or inflicting losses on the enemy.

Whatever the specific design approach is for each campaign, the same remains true: online campaigns are one of the most exciting ways to play Steel Beasts Pro PE.
