It’s that time again! Hello everyone, your P:Fist here for another report. I hope everyone had a great holiday and new year. The holidays was pretty good for myself. No further adieu I’ll get down to the good stuff you want to hear about gaming news!

At the beginning of the month Drac put out his first report out for the new year. Reminding everyone that we have two positions opening up for magistrate. Explained the reason on deciding not to run the WoW test. Then the BGL winners were announced. Congratulations to all of you! Thanks to everyone for participating! Also, the new GMRG quarter has started and with new competitions. Drac included some questions that were asked about the new GMRG and has shared them within his report with answers. If you haven’t read Drac’s 26th Report, you should.

Recently Drac also released a short Supplemental Report. Make sure you check it out as well. Mainly it was introducing the pinned messages from the bot. Any member that ques for a certain platform for PvP will now show up within this pinned message. Important announcements will also be there for you to read.

REMEMBER this does not mean you can just queue and not setup within the DBGAMING channel. The ROC must be followed at ALL times. Matches should not be setup in PM, clan chat or any other channel! Any questions or concerns please let myself or Drac know.

New Magistrates Chosen!

First and foremost I would like to thank Justinois and Alaris for their time and commitment as magistrates. Again congratulations on your awards! It has been a pleasure to work with you both, and wish you luck in the future!

Drumroll

Ladies and gentlemen, the time we all have been waiting for! Announcement of who has been chosen to be Magistrates to the Fist!

From Clan Taldryan we have chosen Aldaric and from Clan Arcona we have chosen Rhylance! Look forward to working with you both during your tenure. Thank you to those that applied, keep your eyes out for the next position posting!

Being a magistrate to the Fist is a great opportunity to help out fellow gamers and get to see how things work on a DC level. I know that I have really enjoyed working with everyone. Don’t miss out! Hope to see lots of applications again next round.
