As mentioned in my last report, it was my intention to select a new ACC Judge by Friday, October 21st. Well, that appears to be today! So here is a quick announcement regarding that!

I'd first like to once again thank everyone for their interest and sending in their applications. This is an often thankless role that puts you in the crosshairs of the very membership you will be passing judgement upon. Preferably nice and constructive feedback... or I will find you and stuff. The fact that there was interest from multiple parties is great! I hope to see an even more varied crew looking into roles within the ACC in the future, alongside an uptake in ACC activity.

With that out of the way, let's get the announcement done with. Based on the applications tendered, and discussions with the Voice (hi Wally), we have selected:

Qyreia Arronen

This choice was not an easy one. At the end of the day, we had to look at a lot of categories in order to make our decision. For Qyreia we found what could be described as a perfect storm for what we were looking for. Throughout their career in the Brotherhood, Qyreia is a name that has been found in the top 3, if not the number 1, of just about every Fiction competition they've entered. Beyond that, they have taken to the ACC with zeal and an open mind ready to ask questions. Worth noting is that Qyreia has self-published a novel on Amazon, if you are so inclined to get a taste of this budding novelist's work before they hit it big.

With all that in mind, the selection was made. I hope everyone can join myself and the staff in welcoming Qyreia into the fold. Get to posting in the ACC, everyone... and give this new Judge more work than they can handle!

Congratulations.

For those who have ongoing matches right now, please remember our training process for new judges as follows:
