Gather Against Fate

Gather Against Fate or GAF for short, is a Free Company on the Ultros server in Final Fantasy XIV created by Maple "Ookie" Cookie from the nexus of hardcore ~~gamers~~ social justice warriors known as NeoGAF.

The Beginning

Did You Know: Maple 'Ookie' Cookie the creator of <GAF> has left FFXIV and his guild for being a triggered pussy!

If you think they're still communicating like a bunch of would-be elite-wannabe trolls in the NeoGAF website, then you sir are correct. It was August 24th, 2013. The unsuccessful MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV was re-released as the most successful MMORPGs of the year. The fatties of NeoGAF got together and started a free company on the Ultros world as Gather Against Fate. GAF for short. Yeah, GAF, very original. The leader and founder of GAF is a serious fat NeoGAF member who goes by his character name in Final Fantasy XIV Maple 'Ookie' Cookie. He got the name Maple Cookie because he's a obese glutton from stuffing his fat neckbeard face with delicious cookies and GAF's cum-filled ookie cookies made with NeoGAF love and a sprinkle of SJW. Other co-founders include Strawberry 'loli fan' Shortcake, Safflower Amariyo, Baramoht Klynhollsyn, Drama Zeni, Elliott Kirkland, Mira Mora, Odoru Suika, Scything Moon, and Victor 'Victoria' Strange. Together they are all GAF-backwards.

GAF'D

What is the word GAF'D? And why the fuck do we need to know and care about this word? Is GAF'D a made up word by NeoGAF? By going deeper through research the answer is this: GAF'D is an inside joke (and next possible meme) by everyone not from GAF that is literally mocking, trolling, and blaming NeoGAF's guild GAF for being shit and shit-terrible. Now most of the time people would shout GAF'D just for the good ol' lulz.

It started back in a certain patch update in Final Fantasy XIV where elite hunts are available for everyone. All GAF members would greedily jew-pull every elite hunt early without everyone getting a chance. It's no mystery Maple 'Ookie' Cookie the creator of GAF is proud of it to make Final Fantasy XIV even more shittier than the game currently is. GAF has a tendency to be early elite hunt pullers and floor kissers which is why the meme GAF'D is created and officially making GAF the laughing stock from Ultros. And professional shitters.

	“	Yup, played on Ultros for the first year of the games launch before transferring to Gilgamesh. GAF'D meme was born from hunts. Those obnoxious cunts would just pull aggro on any mob while others were waiting for more to join in order to get credit. Thus, you were "GAF'D". It does piss off GAF members from NeoGAF, since the reputation they had in the server was due to that. GAF were like the violent, uncivilized niggers during Hurricane Katrina while other guilds were like the Japs during the 2011 tsunamis, orderly and respectful. I also trolled by early pulling a lot when near them and then shouted "GAF'D!". It was fucking hilarious.	„
	—Anonymous FFXIV player from Ultros to Gilgamesh.

Other GAF actions include:

Screwing up on purpose and blaming other party members in Party Finder or Duty Finder.
Commonly outright leaving parties after one wipe including learning groups.
Joining FATE parties to leech experience points by doing nothing but sitting their fatasses down stuffing their faces with Doritos and Mountain Dew.
Joining elite hunt parties to pull early without waiting and leaves after they get a clear.
Erotic role-playing (ERP for short) with different types of fetishes in public.
Not giving a shit to anyone or anybody outside of GAF.
Behaving like manchildren.
False advertisement on GAF being "friendly" and "drama free" and other false words to sucker morons to join and be used.
Staying true to the rules as listed above.

The bottom line is this. Players on Ultros likes to shout GAF'D in trolling NeoGAF for not only their numerous failures, but for the lulz.

Oh shit Gallery pulled! It's dead. GAF'D. Dammit GAF! About missing Pics

They are from Ultros after all.

Quotes From <GAF>

	“	Ever since The Hunt was introduced in patch 2.3, many players have started to single out our FC for various reasons. We were at one time, and might possibly still be, the largest and most powerful FC on the server. We are also a fairly exclusive Free Company as we only accept NeoGAF members and their associates. This unfortunately garners a lot of hate and jealously. People really want to besmirch our name. Most of what you hear about us is completely false. As for our own members, the drama you see people taking about in this thread is blown completely out of proportion and often interpreted incorrectly. People like to joke around a lot but those that are not privy to what is actually happening might take those comments the wrong way.	„
	—ROBOKITTYZILLA ass kissing GAF.

	“	In the early days of hunts, GAF got a reputation--which I believe to be mostly unearned, but I wasn't there--of pulling monsters for hunts before everyone arrived to horde all the rewards for themselves. This got compounded by GAF being GAF and joking in /shout about "dammit GAF" whenever somebody (not us) pulled early. People pull early all the time now, and we get blamed. Hunts being srs biz, GAF is now sort of a whipping boy for bad behavior. It's stupid, ignore it, most people don't care, but some people will be dicks about it because this is the internet.	„
	—iammeiam getting trolled by everyone not GAF.

	“	I love being the bad guys lol.	„
	—Kandinsky loves GAF.

	“	GAF is the largest and most powerful FC on Ultros (and 5th in the overall FC rankings), and it's fairly exclusive; to join the FC you have to join the forums. It was inevitable many would come to hate it. GAF is the FC equivalent of the Garlean Empire.	„
	—MogCakes REALLY loves giving GAF blowjobs in the equivalent of a mansion full of gangbangs.

	“	The GAF guild has become a scapegoat of epic proportions. Some guilds even do nasty things and then accuse GAF. It's sad that GAf has become synonimous to all the nasty things that happens in MMOs in such a short time. I went on ultros because Gaf was there but i didn't join Gaf because i had plans with enough people to get by and enjoy the game. My friends and i each in different guilds ( and we party for dongeons and FATES ) are relaying to me the same thing..it's genuinely sad	„

	“	I was banned from NeoGAF too. It was in the MMO game Final Fantasy XIV at the server Ultros. NeoGAF has a free company guild called Gather Against Fate. GAF for short. Original huh? They were being social justice warriors and anti-GamerGaters. I was being polite and neutral about their conversation. And guess what happen? I was trash talked and BOOM! BANNED! They banned me for not agreeing with NeoGAF and marking me as a GamerGate terrorist. I wish I can screenshot the conversation. Unfortunately I didn't. That's not all. They continue to act like assholes to me and say that I suck at this game and to GTFO of Ultros. Look who's talking GAF? I'm not the one who keeps wiping at parties and blaming other people. I'm not the one who impatiently pull elite hunts and people shout "GAF'D" all the time for your stupidity while waiting for others to get a chance. I'm glad GAF is Ultros's laughing stock. I'm glad GAF'D is a new meme by non-GAF players. Yes NeoGAF is indeed the worst.	„
