[Nov 2021] Discord Monthly Update
Hey all! With spoopy month over, many of us are headed into the colder months ❄️ The long periods of darkness can really take a toll on some folks' mental health, so take this as a reminder to be kind and gentle with yourselves and others. In fact, how about we start the self-care now? Grab a snack (maybe some leftover Halloween treats) and dive into this month’s D-Moo.

TGH Collegiate Think Tank
We’re looking for about 20 women, femme-identifying individuals and non-binary people comfortable in spaces that center around women ages 18-25 who enjoy gaming and want to help us create content for you, by you.
This is a paid opportunity to share your love of gaming with a team of people who want to make gaming more inclusive for all kinds of people. This think tank will start as a focus group where you’ll share your gaming experiences as well as hopes and dreams for the industry. Eventually, we hope to grow this space where YOU will have the opportunity to lead and create the kind of content you hope to see! If you’re interested, sign up today!
TGH Remembrance Day Initiative
This year, our team is looking for gameHERs who are interested in participating in an online social media campaign to honour Remembrance Day. Join us in remembering loved ones and honouring their sacrifices. If you would like to participate, please send a message to us through the TGH ModMail bot.
Server Updates
This past month we’ve seen an uptick on scams, our team has been working hard to ensure that we keep our community safe and we would like to thank each and every community member who flagged a potential scammer bot to us. Please send us a message through the TGH ModMail bot if you believe there is a scam bot in our server. Please see pinned messages in the #announcement channel to find out how you can keep yourself and your account safe.

Suggestion #30 - Avoiding tournaments that involve Blizzard games
We understand and fully acknowledge that the sexual harassment actions at Blizzard goes against the mission and values of TGH. At the same time, our team also knows that there are community members who enjoy playing Blizzard games purely for the joy of the game. The team at TGH will be undergoing discussions around this and we encourage community members to share any thoughts in #crosstalk or #metoo.

Here’s to another month in 2021, I hope to see you at one of our events (return of the USBs in Skribbl.io?) or chat with you in the server! Take care and remember to be gentle and forgiving to yourself during tough times. 💟🎮
