Board Thread:News and Announcements/@comment-5683044-20181031223504

Hi, this is Driller from the administration team.

We've got some big news so I figured I ought to dust my keyboard off and let all of you know what is going on for the site.

Administration Team Changes
Recently, two of our staff members, being Kislevi031 and Lumogo (one of our bureaucrats), have decided to retire from the administration team, and since our tradition states that one of the three bureaucrat slots cannot be empty, we need one of our admins to step into that role. This will probably be a big change for the since Bjbarnett2011 and DonaldoC1997 got impeached earlier this year. We can finally balance the admin and bureaucrat count, after Blakley screwed it all up.

Don't forget once a user is promoted to bureaucrat, the promotion is permanent and only staff members or the user themself can remove it. We have a poll to determine who will get the bureaucrat position. The poll will close on November 2, 2018 at midnight UTC.

Who will get the bureaucrat position? SuperCartoonBrony2000 Blue91233 Ootwar JedidiahCudby

What happended to the Recent Wiki Activity!?
Well, it was Ootwar's fault, she went around and conducted an Order 66 on all the Mil/Main E pages at the requests of the original creators. We also need that page count to go back up to 9,000, so get creative and start making companies! I expect over 120 pages to be created by the end of December!

Chuhou Joutai Development Changes
I have decided to change the way Chuhou Joutai will be developed. I need somebody to draw a better title screen for Chuhou Joutai. However, here are the rules:


 * Must have a 4:3 aspect ratio.
 * Use the same art style as the game (you've all seen it before, on the home page and if you follow me on Instagram.)

The game will also be playable in English and Japanese. I also have screenshots of the Japanese version of the game. This will probably become the second Game Maker game to ever be localized in Japanese, with the first being Undertale. Unless you can read Japanese, you won't be able to read them (and if you are, please consider proofing it).

Games

 * Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum 'n' Fun! is coming tomorrow in North America, finally over a decade after the previous western release on the PlayStation 2.
 * If you've seen the card above, that means Pokémon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee is coming on November 16. Both my brother and I will get our copies once it comes out.
 * For the past four years, I had heavy time constraints placed on the day of the release of a Pokémon game, because I was in my high school's orchestra and I always had a concert that night (generally it was the second of four performances). Thank God I don't have to do that anymore.
 * Today, you can all see the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate direct at 3PM UTC.

Films

 * If you want to go on a music-related trip and if you're into Queen, consider seeing Bohemian Rhapsody tomorrow.
 * Seriously, if you want a more light-hearted tone (and if you've seen the banner leak for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate), I dare you to go see The Grinch on November 9.
 * If you're into Harry Potter or other fantasy franchises, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is a must-see for you.
 * If you want to go on a video game trip, Ralph Breaks the Internet is for you. If you haven't seen the first one, consider watching that before this one.

This is Driller signing off.
