Hey, Please read. Results will be out tomorrow.

Weeeee new social media candidates! Congrats @asdasemm and @Bugatti on becoming SM team candidates ?

Hello, contest lovers! Want to test your brain with some quick thinking? Then this contest is just for you! Ah, helpers; we started out small and began looking for more ways to contribute. At first, we were merely reporters. In recent times, the EN Reporter team has expanded its realms towards other domains, such as the Social Media Team, the Wiki team, the Content Helpers, and even eSports. Hmm, what about admin. Does admin count too? Well, why am I telling you this? Because we might just be the key link to this puzzle: The Helper Chain! Tasks: Build a chain that connects all Helper positions using its members and listing their Helper positions in abbreviated form in parentheses, starting from where you choose them. Example: @Person_Random ( CH )>@Sacrifice ( FM )>@Spy ( WE )>@StealthMasterX ( SM )>@Pythor ( NR )> So on ... Submit all your answers in the Google form here. By entering this competition, your goal will be to find and link all of the Helpers posts in the English community and then submit your helper chain in the form. Rules: You must be in good standing with the Rules of the Game. You should only enter this contest with only ONE account. Collaboration between players is NOT permitted. Crystals will be awarded to the winners on the account from which they registered. You are not allowed to choose to place admins in your channel, unless it is a Helper. Example: @Person_Random can only be chosen as an eSports Helper or a Content Helper, not as an admin. From the first Helper you chose, each Helper that will be on your chain must be a member of the previous Helper group mentioned in parentheses, otherwise it is no longer a chain. (See example above) Your chain must be associated with all Helper groups except the "Battle Moderators" post. NOTE: Content Helpers counts as one group, Event Organizers and Event Helpers counts as one group, and Contest and Parkour Contest Organizers are categorized under one group. Infraction of any of these rules results in instant disqualification and in some severe cases, a ban from participating in Newspaper Contests in the near future. Reminder: The "Battle Moderators" group does not count in the Helpers list for certain reasons. Your chain should only contain Helpers. Content Team and any team with sub-groups are counted as one group. Prizes: The 3 valid entries with the longest chains will receive the following prizes: First place: 50,000 Crystals, 10 Containers, 5 Gold Boxes Second place: 30,000 Crystals, 5 Containers, 3 Gold Boxes Third place: 25,000 Crystals, 3 Containers, 2 Gold Boxes Five more players who did not place in the top 3 but had a chain of longer than 5 helpers in a row will receive a prize of 15 000 crystals. (Note: Winners will be announced after one or two weeks, as soon as the contest is over) This is a quick contest, so don't forget to enter - you've only got a week! Best of luck, and may the quickest thinker win!

Congrats to @Sacrifice on becoming a full Proofreader. Let the real fun begin with the new Microchip Paint (though Reporter is still best) Hmm, secret plot by forumers to get rid of me eh Also, congrats to best helpers of the month November!

And now, time for some Mad Tanks-related contests! Who's ready to earn some quick crystals? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you want a boost after Black Friday sales by doing a few simple tasks, then you're in the right place.

As you might already know, we have another experiment, and so I would like to collect some data for the experiment. All you need to do is send a screenshot of the battle finished scenario with the following rewards and killboard screenshots. See the spoiler for an example. Rules: 1.

Congrats to new forum nubs mods @At_Shin, @Emil, @Zackery459. Anyone want volunteer to be my personal forum mod Also a congrats to @Graphics on becoming a RaS Candidate. Good luck with your candidacy!

Approved. Wow, what an awesome chapter of this series - I can't wait to approve more. We're back to the knights' point-of-view, and I have to say, this chapter was likely the best one yet. Almost all of the information was easily communicated through dialogue, which is quite impressive. Overall, it's a great story series I always can't wait to read when I'm approving them. I'm going to try to get to two a week if possible so we can stay tuned; I can't wait for even more action! Edits: minor grammar fixes

Approved. I really enjoyed the poem, especially the part where it compares things of old to the things of new whilst connecting them to friendship - a brilliant way with words. It's definitely one of the most inspirational and uplifting pieces I've seen in a while, something unique to you. Overall, that was one of the best poems I've read, especially with the descriptions and words in the poem. Keep up the great work! Edits: N/A

Congrats to @GG_reg on becoming a Contest Administrator. Lovely tux you got there; looking good!

Congrats to @jutska on becoming an Event Organizer Candidate. Good luck with your candidacy!

No, but receiving the max and min values stated is incredibly low (if not never recorded). Here's why: this is likely a normal distribution of damages, so you basically have an infinitesimal chance of getting 1 damage or getting the maximum value as such numbers are pretty far away from the mean, meaning a high z-score and a very low chance of receiving those values. (Or a very high chance of receiving a value other than the max and min) However, it is possible to get something that is fewer standard deviations away from the mean, given that the z-score is lower and that you have a higher chance of receiving a value around that range, such as something that can almost one-shot or a two-digit number. Hope you learned a thing or two about math and understand why this alteration works this way ?

I understand everything as to why it's still there but it still bugs me since it defies basic laws of thermodynamics @_@

Some believe that climate change does not exist. Have these people not experienced climate change?

Congrats to Penguins Revenge on winning Clan Championship XIII ?

Hello, readers! We haven't had a new reporter in neither the EN nor the FR paper in over half a year, so I am glad to announce that our FR Newspaper has recruited @Sabrytoun_Superman as a new Reporter! Be sure to give him a warm congratulations over in Congratulatory Post!

? A HUGE congrats to my friend @Sabrytoun_Superman on becoming a FR Reporter Candidate! I knew you would make it here - I can't wait for you to start writing tons of amazing articles!

No school today ?

Haha, oops, I was a bit tired when writing it ?? I'll fix it one of these days.

Wow, I am brutally exhausted. Whenever I try to sleep, I get pretty bad allergies. It's been tough to deal with that in the past few days. However, there are only a few hours before school finally lets us out for a break. No homework for half a week (maybe) and time to recover ?

Happy 9th forum anniversary @Maf ? Interesting to see that you were online even while I was in grade school - wow, the memories! Now, what sort of cake would you like?

You had me with the title, not gonna lie. Serious talk: Perhaps maybe a report an unfriendly video form could help resolve this better. If someone in the program is making something negative, it could be reported to the program managers through the form and they can decide consequences as follows. Not too familiar with the system, so just an idea.

I am a noob. I say it loud, and I say it proud. All hail the power of noobs ? After all, I've been called a noob helper anyways... *casually cries in corner*

Not yet, but soon. Wonder what the experience will be like ? And thanks all for the advice and support; I will try to implement some suggestions in my life. I think it's not easy, especially in this time, so I'm glad everyone can come together and bring such positivity. It's nice to see some wholesome forum posts and true kindness instead of toxicity and accusations, and I just want to let you all know how I appreciate that. Thanks!

Approved. Interesting change of a point of view with the dark side showing their faces in this chapter. With fewer characters involved, there leaves room for some rich description - absolutely amazing. In my opinion, it fits really well and provides insight into the antagonist's motives. I'm excited to read and approve the next few chapters you have ready; thanks for a great way to kick off the week! Keep it up! Edits: Minor Grammar Changes

Congrats @FTL on becoming a HelpSite Consultant Candidate! Hmm, the name is actually quite familiar. Are you by any chance a member of the parkour team FeatherLike? If so, I'd also like to congratulate your clan for their amazing FeatherLike Control ??
