Today marks the grand unveil of the TotalFreedom GMod Server. I will be running and managing this server, with a team of a select few individuals aiding me. If you wish to be included in beta testing, please DM me at redeastwood#8559
Four Key Principles
The TF GMod server, hereby referred to as TFGM, has one mission statement that me and my team aim to commit to fully. It stands as the following
“TFGM is a sandbox Garry’s Mod server, which boasts far more addons and expansions than any other server of a similar nature can provide. We ensure that players will have a surplus of activities, games, items and NPCs they can play around with.”
The nature of GMod is such that we can bend and manipulate every aspect of the game to ensure a seamless and fun experience for all our players.
TFGM has four underlying principles that cohesively glue my server philosophies together. They are as follows:
1) TFGM will not be co-dependent on the Minecraft server for players
I fully expect and am prepared to receive new players from GMod, who do not know about TotalFreedom and its various assets. My plan is to gain new players from GMod, and then draw them into the larger TotalFreedom universe.
2) TFGM will be an inherently sandbox Garry’s Mod experience.
The sandbox game mode is the second largest by player count, surpassed only by DarkRP servers; the demand for such a freedom sandbox is evident, as through my research, I have found no other server that functions like we will.
3) TFGM’s sandbox game mode will have a huge variety of addons
The addon feature on GMod is particularly revering, it grants us the ability to tailor a server to suit our specific needs. We will ensure that an individual on the TFGM server will have a whole host of items to use, games to play, and NPCs to kill.
4) The TFGM server abides by the standard TF conduct policy.
In order to successfully melt into the TF enterprise, we deem it necessary for our players to follow our essential Player Conduct Policy, as seen on the forums. I will be making a separate thread detailing the nature of how some rules may change due to a different game.
Panel
We have purchased the WiSP Panel solutions, WiSP Game Panel

Key features about this panel are that it looks and feels insanely good, it has advanced features such as a health monitor, backdoor scanner, smart file search, intelligent fastdl, and a mod installer.
Staff
As it stands, I have four members in my TFGM team (myself included). I oversee, manage (and micromanage) every detail of the operation. TheBlazingFlames is our developer and our technical specialist. CrazyNick is our server configurator, he will ensure the user experience is immaculate. Shdwo acts as our staff support, aiding us in day-to-day tasks.
We are open to more staff members; here is a list of the current vacancies in our staffing system.
1) Technical Developer
2) GMod server configurator
3) Server Tester x3
4) Staff Support
DM me if you are available for any of these roles at redeastwood#8559
Resources
Initially, we will be using my own VPS for testing purposes. After the server is deemed to be ready, we will switch over to Superior Network Infrastructure, provided for by Ryan.
We run on 8GB RAM, 400% CPU, and 240GB SSD.
GMod requires significantly less resources than a Minecraft server, however due to the extreme addition of plugins and addons, we would require a sizeable amount of RAM. 8GB is reasonable here.
