The 'Shroom:Issue 162/Staff Notes

Staff Notes Written by:, , and



Hello to all of you readers of The 'Shroom! Let me begin this issue by first thanking all of you, our readers and writers, for your patience this month. I know we're coming out with this issue two days later than usual, but I think you will find that the little bit of extra time helped us ensure this month's edition is everything you have come to expect. There's no denying that 2020 has been a rough year in general, and it seems that September in particular hit a large swathe of our community very hard this year. As a community project, we first and foremost have to ensure the health - mental and physical - of our community members. Otherwise, we'd have no one to contribute to the paper! On behalf of the whole staff, I thank you again for your patience.

On the topic of thanking people, while I'll individually thank them in the Awards Analysis itself, I have to give a great thanks to the members of the Eleventh Poll Committee, who gave it their all this month to get the largest project of their term done. Please, do read what they've written, and if you see them around, congratulate them on getting through all of the work.

Now, I'll allow Roserade to talk about what we have special for you in this issue in a little more detail, lest I try and cram too many words into this box. For now, I'll tell you that we already have work underway for our special issue 165 in December! I hope you look forward to our way of finishing out this year with a spectacle.

That's all for now, as I need to go and find Superchao, our janitor. I understand that Rose, in one of his porcine propaganda publicity stunts, has filled his office with mud and has been rolling around in it. Poor FunkyK and Doomhiker have had the stench wafting over to their offices in Palette Swap and Fake News! Thankfully, chickens would never create such a mess, and my office has never had so many eggs on hand before...

&mdash;Hooded Pitohui, Director



Greetings, beautiful 'Shroom readers! I hope you're appreciative of the evil throne this month. I finally got it installed up here in the Director's Office, and let me just say that the top of it is an inch taller than Pitohui's chair! Haha, loser.

I don't have much more to share this month, but I'd like to point your attention towards the 2020 Awards Analysis, conducted by your fabulous Poll Committee! They've taken a look at the results of this year's Awards Ceremony and are ready to share what they've found. Please make sure to give it a read! They've put tons of effort into it, but hopefully not too much blood or tears.

Speaking of blood and tears, war is upon us once again. With this next 'Shroomfest under way, I've got to have all of my defenses ready. Nobody gets in my office without special clearance! In fact, I've got a security camera set up right no—

EMERGENCY MEETING!

Guys, I just saw Ninja Squid vent.

&mdash;Roserade, Sub-Director

Staff Section of the Month for July 2020

Congratulations to all of our writers for their amazing work!
