/TG/ Monthly Newsletter #6
Welcome to the sixth /tg/ monthly newsletter!
This is a basic summary of everything that’s happened on /tg/ in the last month, and what’s coming next.
General News
I’m Sonnzer, the new newsletter editor; replacing ImprovedName. I am aware that the editors seem to leave within only a few editions, so hopefully I’ll stick around for a good while longer. Also, happy December!
The Toolbox Tournament was hosted on Nov. 8th, raising money for the Cancer Research Institute. CRI is a non-profit charity organization founded in 1953 that funds research to treat and potentially even cure cancer through the use of immunotherapy. The Black Bulls team, with Sk1wass3r, saint1453, and itzfatdog taking first place, followed by Team Bama and The Honkmother Preachers respectively. A big congratulations to these winning teams, and those who participated!
The Toolbox Tournament managed to collect a grand total of $10,000 from community donations, smashing the original goal of $8000, so a huge thank you to all those who donated!
The Great Space Station 13 Survey was a Space Station 13-wide initiative to collect and analyze data about the playerbase of /tg/ and also the greater community as a whole. The survey has concluded and the data is currently being collated into some nice, readable graphs for everyone to gawk at.
