/TG/ Monthly Newsletter #5

Welcome to the fifth /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

The cogs are finally in motion!
The new term is officially active, with the old term getting their well deserved game master titles.

Atlanta Ned has created this cool tool to see Daily/Hourly average players on statbus https://statbus.space/population/yearly https://statbus.space/population/hourly.

And on the side note, that public logs are live again, very handy tool to review ingame events, or use as material for your ban appeal.

We also have the Toolbox tournament coming up this month on 8 November, they’ll be hosting one of the largest charity streams SS13 has to offer, and the donations go straight to the Cancer Research institute! If you are interested you can donate at https://tiltify.com/+tg-station/toolbox2025

Lastly we have a Space station 13 community wide survey which you can fill in here and can be discussed about here but please be honest with your answers!
