Hey folks, welcome to the I'm-really-tired-because-I-haven't-slept-in-a-week-because-of-finals-papers update. Thus, this update will be similar to the last one in that it will be much less wordy than usual. Short intro over!
Crayons...
Speeding our way through this quickdate we take our first stop at promotions. This week we have a few more members reaching new ranks (rather than the usual TG members). First up is long time Guardian, Adelyss, who has, through way more hard work than is needed, reached the prestigious rank of Moderator. Yay! Furthermore, our friends of Testers Guild and Review Hub fame, Nibs and Bloo Jay respectively, have both been given a chance to prove themselves as Guardians. Don't screw it up guys. Make sure to congratulate and junk.
The Guild
Next up is our typical Tester Guild blurb. We'll keep things brief here. The Testers Guild is a place where you can get your nearly finished maps tested by our crack team of testers. Otherwise you can join the guild, help out and maybe one day reach the loyal rank. You should probably check out the Testers Guild Forum.
The Guys I Make Fun Of
Yeah, those Review hubbers. Looks like they got things back under control these days and are moving at full steam ahead. You still should send them angry messages telling them to work hard, or angry messages for not letting you in when you applied. Actually, you are probably just better off reapplying here. To get an idea of what they're looking for check out their reviews this cycle:
Tumbling Trinkets : 7.4/10 - MickRaider
Never Far : 6.3/10 - Tedium's Bitch
The Streets : 8.2/10 - Organite
Noble 1 Carter-S259 : 7.6 - Jex Yoyo
Finally? FINALLY!
Here we are at the apologetic section where I beg your forgiveness for not posting the Forgotten Treasure II results. Truth be told I just wanted this to go down as the longest wait for results on a contest in Forge Hub history. But never fear, Tuesday is the day you hear all you need to know and acquire some sweet prizes if you're cool enough. Keep an ear to the ground.

TG..I...Forgot?
I'm sorry guys, I didn't realize that excluding a TGIF blurb from the last update would throw so many people off. TGIF is a bi-weekly game night that will be happening well, bi-weekly on Fridays. Make sure to throw down your name in the sign up thread appearing on Wednesday to let us know you're going to show up. If you'd like to be a good sport and try your hand at hosting, drop Buddhacrane a line and let him know your stuff with the details listed below. If we need an extra hand, we'll let ya know.

Democracy
It's voting time again for Forge Hub Favorites and What's a Scope wants you all to get your butts in gear and submit your vote. Remember, if you don't like the maps being voted on you only have your self and the rest of the Forge Hub community to blame. If you think a map should get a shot (and it's not your own), make sure to look out for the nomination thread that follows the FHF voting every week. If the map you nominate gets enough support it will be included in the next round of voting.

To Work I Go..
Lucky for me I have an entire nights worth of work to accomplish. As they say "sleep is for the weak". I do apologize for the much downgraded update this week, but Yoyo wanted me to let you know that his Caption Contest failure was the result of something big you can expect us to be dropping in the coming week-ish..two weeks? time. Get antsy.
