Hello LemonCloud!

As always, I'm delighted to have the privilege of wrapping up May on the server, and previewing what's ahead in June!

Events

We were happy to host four events through May, as well as the start of the "Ruins" build competition.

As always, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank every member of the events team and our events feedback group. As a team, we'd like to thank everyone that took the time to participate in an event!

Sumo

Our sumo event had one of the largest turnouts in the recent history of events, which I feel is all down to Boneloose's map. Thank you to Boneloose for making the event possible!

1st Place - dirtymex373
2nd Place - LanternGod
3rd Place - CertifiedLesbian

Cactice

Our cactice event had well over 30 individual entrants, who made up 6 rounds. Thank you to LanternGod and iPlexity for making this event possible by building an awesome Star Wars-themed map!

Changes

We had 81 things changelogged throughout May, with credit to those that created suggestions, bug reports, and our hardworking development team.

Should you wish to create a bug report, you can do so by clicking on the respective wording. If you want to make a suggestion, navigate to #suggestions in our Discord server.

The feedback team has been placed on hiatus for the foreseeable future. From now on, all discussions relating to suggestions and features will occur in the main Discord suggestions forum. This means that suggestions will be handled akin to most other suggestions boards, where suggestions are handled based on a combination of votes and the discussion inside it - happening as and when new features are being worked on/wanted.

Staff Changes

We update staff changes as and when they happen through the corresponding channel on our Discord server - you should join if you haven't! In case you missed it, we had the following staff changes through May:

• Jxnsen_ | Recruit -> Helper (May 2nd)
• jcmiltier | Helper -> Player (May 6th)
• aaliiyaah | Moderator -> Player (May 14th)
• Zacxry | Player -> Moderator (May 16th)
• Boneloose | Helper -> Player (May 20th)

If you are interested in joining our staff team, you should apply here! We always look for new applicants and would love to see you join the team. If you have any questions about applying or how the staff team works, please create a general questions or management ticket in our Discord server.
