Game nights should be uniting people who don't normally play together to have a chat about how much our parents earn.

To finalise my yearly updates: 
AMD is releasing their new 3rd gen, Zen 2 CPUs on July 7th.
The bit you need to know: Rumour has it they are faster on single core performance than Intel (previously Intel stuff has ALWAYS won here), faster on multi-core  (AMD Ryzen usually wins here) AND they are going to be cheaper than the Intel counterpart. 
If all the above is true, there is no reason you'd buy an Intel CPU other than you don't wanna fork out on a new motherboard. And if you still want to be an Intel fanboy you bet they'll be dropping prices around the end of July to compete. Good for customers.
RAM has returned to normal pricing - in my head that's been £40 for 8GB SSDs are ludicrously cheap - 120GB SSD a year ago would have been around £70, they are now ~£20 GPUs have come down in price because Bitcoin died off If you are thinking of building a new PC, July/August is the best opportunity for the last 5 years to do it!
I've been following Ryzen from day one, and we're about to see the results of AMD's efforts. Support them to keep the CPU market competitive.

Hi Wist! We may have not spoken often but it is always great to see what people do with their lives away from the keyboard. It was really nice of you to give us an update! ?

A fair amount of change has taken place within the last few weeks, so it's time for an update on the state of affairs.
Outbreak Community Representative
Following the first community meeting, it was decided that a representative should be elected to improve communication between the staff team and members. We followed an instant-runoff vote format and I was elected as the rep (it should be noted that Akame was the actual winner of the poll, but he declined the offer so 2nd place was taken instead).
The full results can be found here:
 
There has also been some confusion over what this role entails, so for clarification, my main two responsibilities are (but not limited to):
• Relaying information on the state of development within the community
           -This includes updates on admin meetings, future development plans etc.
• Managing the monthly community meetings
 
Remember that these are not set in stone, so if anybody feels I could change what I am doing, please do make suggestions.
Role Changes
Congratulations to MiniColossus on his successful promotion to member and Akame for obtaining moderator, as well as Marsh, Toby, Lucy and Vodo Hazed for getting trial.
In addition, the veteran group on the forums has now been retired and replaced with 'Retired Member' - it is effectively the same, but slightly more lenient, available to 2 year old members or previous members who have been a longstanding part of the community. This allows for well known, previously active people to easily return to member once they have returned.
Forum Updates
There have been various small changes within the forums over the past few days:
Member of the Month
As many of you will have seen, there is now a 'member of the month' vote at the right of the home page.

This should be used to suggest a member that you think has contributed particularly well in the past month; the top votes will be considered by the staff and a member selected - keep in mind that obvious troll picks will just be discarded.
As of now, the perks of winning are purely cosmetic, appearing as a forum medal which can be displayed under your avatar:

But if there are any ideas for more substantial benefits, please make a suggestion.
 
Miscellaneous
All previous warning points have been cleared (unless recent or still relevant) as to remove trivial sanctions.
Calendar information now shows on the home page to notify you of upcoming events.
Trophies and medals have now been fully implemented, with 'Veteran' and 'Years of Service' badges to showcase your time in the community (and reveal the filthy 2k16ers). Years of service badges require 20+ pieces of forum content per year to count towards the total.
FiveM Server
Development is still in progress for the server, but there have been some issues implementing certain plugins - a more detailed post will be made about this within the next couple of weeks.
Events
A new event schedule will now be tested to try and encourage more frequent events, following a simple alternating pattern of community choice events and staff hosted events.
The community choice events will be based on a monthly poll to decide on a game, and we hope members will be willing to help with the hosting of these in the future. (Thanks to Danny for hosting the first Worms WMD event).
Staff events will be run entirely by the admin team and game choice will be chosen on our perogative.
 
Results for the first community choice can be found here:
