We are so BACK newsletterees!!!
/TG/ Monthly Newsletter #3
Welcome to the third /tg/ monthly newsletter! This is a basic summary of all the going-ons and happenings in TGstation in the last month, along with any upcoming events and highlights.
General Docket
I have returned! With the help of Ezel and after a long absence, I am pleased to have returned with the /TG/ Newsletter!
There has been some going ons within the upper management- namely there is no host role anymore. Scriptis is now a GameMaster, but will still work on server infrastructure. Timberpoes is still a GameMaster, but has been put in charge of managing blacklists.
In addition, we are now accepting donations again! This time- as a recognized 501c3 non-profit. You can donate at https://opencollective.com/tgstation13 . This means there is a lot more legal requirements for the money to be spent on tgstation, and books will be published regularly.
Upcoming Events
The Headmin Election is just around the corner.. so be ready for that! No events are planned otherwise.

Picture of the Month!
This is our monthly competition for the person who sends in the best picture on /TG/ in the last month. Submissions can be put in through the relevant players club forum or by directly messaging @kinneb on discord. The winner of this month is 'Mel', with a syncronized double explosion routine in front of a local secoff! Nice tricks!
As such, they'll be receiving a major antag token, redeemable for wizard, blob, etc.
In addition, we will be asking for comics! If anyone wants to make a shitty 6 panel comic or the such to be put in the newsletter, they will also receive a major antag token and be attached to the end of the newsletter. (Thanks to Jamarkus for the Idea!) Thanks for reading, and thanks to Ezel and everyone for waiting!
