THIS GROUP IS INTENDED FOR DEATHMATCH PLAYERS ONLY!

Welcome to the Great Lakes Deathmatch Association. This Group is intended specifically for Deathmatch players in the Great Lakes Region only. The Great Lakes Region consists of the U.S. states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and the Canadian province of Ontario. They all have one thing in common: They border one of the five Great Lakes (Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, Lake Huron, Lake Erie & Lake Ontario).

This group's intent is to get all Deathmatch players that live within the Great Lakes Region here in this group so that we can find, play & befriend each other. To create a closer-knit community. Another intent is to find & indentify as many Deathmatch servers that run within the Great Lakes Region as possible so that we may enjoy low-latency game-play.

IN ORDER TO BE A MEMBER OF THIS GROUP, YOU MUST:
1.) Play Half-Life 2: Deathmatch on a regular basis, and I don't mean role-play, co-op or puzzle-map servers. This is DEATHMATCH... We play it like it was intended: To kill each other for our enjoyment. :)
2.) Live in one of the 8 states or province listed above.
3.) Must not have a V.A.C. (Valve Anti-Cheat) Ban on record.

In starting this group, I have searched the Steam Community for Deathmatch players that live in the above listed states / province that have played Deathmatch within the last two weeks. Some have many many hours on record, some just a fraction. It is my intent to invite only those that play Deathmatch regularly. So if you received a request to join this group, but you do not intend to play Deathmatch on a regular basis, please do not accept the invitation.

If you have become a member of this group & you know of another player that meets the three guidelines above for being a member, please let me know. If you are not a member & would like to join, simply leave a request in the comments section in my profile (HλLF-LIFE² PΛIΠ). Thank you.

Please check out the link below for my new "click-to-connect" server list for the GLDA. All links within the server list automatically connect you to that server.

Oh & by the way, I won't tolerate trouble makers. If I witness any member of this group being a jerk, you will be kicked out. Period.
If any member of this group witnesses any other member being a jerk, kindly let me know. Thank you.
