New Year, New Memes! A January Update!

What's New This Month?

• TF2 staff activity adequacy will be determined by higher ups instead of having a specific hour requirement. It is hard to be accurate and can be discouraging to members who wish to be staff if they see such a set requirement. In other words, be active if you can be as TF2 staff, but you no longer need to aim for a "minimum 18 hours" on our servers.
  
• Facebook Screenshots of the month will be increased from 800/1000 credits to 2000 credits a month. You can also earn other things such as custom badges for screenshots so make sure you enter! Xeno Gamers Facebook | 2017 Changes
  
• 2 new raffles! Shadow Daggers | Urban Masked (Well Worn) | Xeno Gamers and 10 TF2 Keys | Xeno Gamers! Special thanks to @JuannabeGod for providing the knife for the giveaway!
  

What's Coming Up This Month?

• Minecraft! It's been a long time coming and I believe a rushed project is a bad one, and the server is almost ready. Just want to give a special shout out to @Klure @MineCrack @jubens45 @SuperMaddud @Owl @Pepper @Hanney @Jaydow for all their hard work so far, I promise it's gonna be worth the wait!
  
• Custom Badges are now implemented to xG! We can customize them completely, and can only be earned. The badges that will be made are for community night winners (Hunger Games, Town of Salem, Brawlhalla etc) and for other unique individuals (for example trivia masters). I will have a thread dedicated on ideas for badges soon.
  
• xG Curator Page will be implemented this month. The full layout will be finished, and available to all members to review games/software. Any reviews done really well will be featured on the xG curator page, a locked section on the forums and be given credits accordingly. The reviews on the forums will also not be limited to steam games.
  
• Banners for News Updates + Promotions/Demotions. The banners will not be big, and should give some nice flair to our homepage. I will get the exact dimensions and make a post about how people can contribute if they'd like! Expect this in the next few weeks.
  

What's Coming Up Later In The Year?

• Youtube will start getting attention once I have all my software from school! It will be open to the community for content and that will be expanded on later in the year!
  
• Social Media Presence will be worked on throughout the year with giveaways and community activity. If you have any ideas on improving our Facebook or Twitter, be sure to message @TheSupremePatriot or @Hanney!
  
• More Events and Tournaments! I just want to clarify that higher ups are not the only ones who can organize these. If you have an idea for the community, take some initiative and set it up! If it's a success we can even give you credits for organizing it.
  
• Sponsor-only benefits are going to be looked at and worked on throughout the year. If you want to look at what we have so far for sponsors, check it out here Sponsorship And The Reward Tiers
