August ends, and this marks our 5th newsletter! During the previous month we have hit a milestone of 300 members with 'SadDreams' being our 300th member, and so they will be known as '300th member' from now and on forever. Maybe you should feel sad for them kill me pls. Though, despite our never ending growth, we still face problems with activity on our 'discord'. Where did everyone disappear to?
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
~~ Official Member Cards ~~
We finally started giving out member cards. The cards were made by 'Desu' the traitor and can obtained through 'this forum post'. Hurry and grab one, to be a true anime advocate! (Kanna best girl)
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
~~ Staff Changes ~~
More people leaving our staff. Not surprising, is it?
'Mari' steps down from his recruiter position. Don't shed tears now, he will still stay in our club and is active on our discord.
'Desu' steps down from his Admin and Graphic Designer position and leaves the club. A full-blown traitor.
Both of them quit on their own accord. Reasons being that they are busy and can't find time or are leaving for another club. Desu will still be doing the Official Member Cards, so don't worry about that.

~~ Staff Changes ~~
As time passed by, we realized we should re-evaluate our staff, including discord moderators and admins.
Here are the results for new staff and moderators:
Tuna becomes a Discord Moderator, and has been a reliable addition. Mari and Pinkie become Recruiters, so look forward for new members. Taiyakies and Livid become Card Makers, and have already made some LE cards for the club.
Unfortunately, by gaining new staff we have lost some as well. Here are the results for admin and moderator demotions:
TheSlorrow and Kahn are demoted from Discord Moderator positions. Blixie is demoted from Admin position, but will remain as staff and will be helping out mostly with the newsletter.
This was done to keep you members in touch and things up to date. None of these people left against their own will.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
~~ Staff Recruitment ~~
We are still looking for people to join us! Recruiter, Card Maker, and Game Maker roles are still vacant.
For more information, and to submit your application, click here. You'll gain a role on Discord if you are accepted.
★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★
~~ LE Cards ~~
Every while our card makers present limited edition cards, so make sure to watch out for them. Different card editions will be a available each month for a certain time period and can't be taken after that. You may look at our discord announcement channel to find out when they come out.

~~ New Discord Additions ~~
We have done a lot of changes on our Discord server throughout this month of June.
Here's a short summary of all the changes:
3 New Channels
Emoji Award for being in top 10 in Tatsumaki's leaderboards.
(The leaderboards will be switched to Mee6 at the beginning of July)
New music bot
Self-assignable roles
Here's a detailed version of all the changes:
Channels
#advice -channel added where people can share their troubles and such without worrying about people not taking you seriously. cough this hasn't been working that well so far :P
#vc-talk -channel added. You can only gain access to this channel whenever you join a voice channel. Access will be taken away once you leave a voice channel. The point of this channel is that people who don't want to talk or have a microphone can join people's talk by typing on this channel. This way you don't confuse people by talking about things happening in voice chat in #general. So, feel free to blast your memes or talk about things about your car or whatever in this channel, no one will be bothered.
#mal-identification -channel added. We added a verifying system that makes so you'll be able to gain normal member permissions after getting verified that you're in the club by a moderator or an admin after you've posted your MAL profile on this channel.
Emojis
-We added a new reward system that rewards members for talking. Once a member is active and enters the top 10 leaderboards, they'll get to add their own emoji on the server. If you become inactive and drop out of the top 10, your emoji will be removed until you get to top 10 again.
Here are the current top 10 members (Creator and Admins don't count):
From now on score will be left as is for Tatsumaki bot leaderboards and we'll have the reward system based on Mee6 bot leaderboards.
New Music Bot
After having trouble with Ayana bot we decided to add a new music bot, FredBoat. FredBoat hasn't brought any issues so far and provides higher sound quality than Ayana bot. Ayana bot is still my waifu
Self-assignable roles
We added quite a lot of roles, especially colours for your names. This way you don't have to bother a staff member about asking for a role for yourself. You can assign a colour, access to a channel, or get a game role anytime you want. You can remove them too.
The roles for channels were made since the channels weren't necessary and not everyone is interested in them.
The point of game roles is you can mention that role if you want to talk about the specific game to another member with the role.
By typing ".iam role" you'll get the role for yourself.
By typing ".iamnot role" you'll remove the role from yourself.

~~ New Staff ~~
Staff changes have actually happened, believe it or not. Shall we hold a shrimp banquet?
2 New Discord Moderatorsa
(for some reason these 2 are coincidentally Persona 5 nerds fans)
We held a moderator trial runs for these two and.. it actually went well for them.
Aerate- also knows as Ayush and Joker. woah he has a few nicknames hashigamon also known as Sarah, Sara, Sera, George, Hashi, Linda, Jasmine, Jessica, Veronica...ok... this gal has even more nicknames ...let's not do this. Y-you get the point. After a month of being completely away, this gal came back like nothing happened? AND even became a mod? Does she have something to do with the authorities behind the scenes?
2 New Admins
Do you remember that one guy from the previous newsletter? The one called Taiga? Yes, he became a moderator faster than anyone before.. yes... what? Excuse me? He's an admin now?
We are proud to announce our newest admin, Taiga who got promoted to admin from his hard work. Yes, it was short work, but very ..hard. He will be in charge of the rewards system in the discord server.
blixie rose from moderator to admin as well. She will act as an all-round admin. She is very busy at the moment, but we still have a lot of shrimps to spare.
New Game maker
A-OK became our first game maker for the club and has already created a few games! Feel free to check them out!
YourImoutoYuki is no longer a club officer.
