#HGG's Ghetto! (North America)

[QCRulzz]

HGG is proud to announce the fruit of our hard labor: a brand new server providing a fun, relaxed game play style.

Here in #HGG we aim to put the fun back in PR and other games in general. We believe in the empowerment of the player base and making the players have control and admins that only serves as guides and not dictators.

Our aim with this server is to provide a no bullshit, no heavy restriction and a fun server to play in. We have chosen to give the players a free reign of control with regards to map votes and other aspect of gameplay.

We believe on giving the player Rights and trusting the player base to make the right and logical decisions on matters such as map votes and general gameplay mechanics.
