What’s that? It’s the next D-MooOoOoOoOooO 👻 It’s finally October which means spoopy season has officially begun. Turn off the lights, grab a blanket, and immerse yourself in the spoopiest of games.
Updates
Mod Squad
Thank you to everyone who applied to be a part of our Mod Squad, all of us appreciated the sheer number of members who are passionate about TGH and our community. After very careful consideration, we’re excited to announce our new recruits who will be joining as Junior Moderators effective today. Please welcome Zombie (Amandaorrwhat), BlueLord128, Circie, Magzimillion, ReinaDeLaMuerte_, and WerewolfNL, give them a good ol’ shoutout in #general-lounge!
Community events
It’s time to get your spoopy face and costumes on, we’ve got a whole lineup of themed Halloween events!
Oct 15th 8-10pm (ET) - Ghoulie Gartic Phone with Aiyana and Karina
Oct 16th-17th - Minecraft Build Battle with Amanda
Oct 20th 9-11pm (ET) - Overwatch Halloween Terror with Zombie
Oct 31st (time TBA) - TGH Haunted House/Spookapalooza (more details to come)
That’s not all! We’ve still got some events in the works so keep your eyes peeled in #event-announcements when we’ve got them nailed down.
Server changes
In case you didn’t notice, we’ve finished implementing our channel clean up! We reduced our total number of channels by almost 30% and we will continue to continuously assess how we can change our server for the better.
We are delighted to announce that we have now included a “Please ask/Unspecified” option in our #assign-roles.
Earlier this month, we held a 24-hour emoji and sticker voting contest as the question of the day (QOTD), unfortunately it didn’t pan out as expected (that’s completely on me). We’ll be revisiting this again in October, but we’ll make sure that we have a proper process in place that provides all the right permissions! Thank you for your patience.
