The 'Shroom:Issue 172/Staff Notes

Staff Notes Written by: and



Hello, all of you readers of The 'Shroom! We're already in our seventh issue of 2021, as hard as it is to believe. We hope you enjoyed last month's big special issue! We have more planned for this year, so please do look forward to more special content as the year goes on. For now, though, we have plenty of great content for you to enjoy in this issue. Before you go off to read everything our writers have to offer, though, I have a few announcements to share.

First off, the election is over, and we have a new Poll Committee Chairperson and Poll Committee Vice-Chairperson stepping up to lead the Twelfth Poll Committee. Give your warm welcome to Baby Luigi (talk) and, who step into the Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson roles, respectively. I'm excited to see what these two do with the Poll Committee, and I want to thank everyone who took part in the election, whether by running in it, voting, or asking the candidates questions!

Second, you might notice that this very page looks a little different. After some internal discussion, we've decided to retire the Staff Section of the Month system. We always want to recognize the effort our writers put into their sections, so you can rest assured we'll keep looking for other ways to commend our writers for their hard work. For now, keep casting your votes in our Section of the Month polls and keep reaching out to our writers to compliment them and talk about their sections. Your feedback and engagement goes a long way to support them and The 'Shroom as a whole.

And speaking of your support, thank you all for voting in the Mario Awards, Fail Awards, and Community Awards! Your votes in the Community Awards, especially, are greatly appreciated as a sign of your support for our writers and contributors. I cannot wait to share the results with you this year, but I suppose I'll simply have to make do until we reach the August 13th ceremonies. Be sure to join us there. In the meanwhile, I'll busy myself making some presentations for the ceremony. If you've signed up to make any, you might want to work on them, too - after you read this issue, of course!

I'll let Roserade tell you more about what you can find in this issue. Go off and enjoy!

Greetings, beautiful 'Shroom readers! Welcome to Issue 172 of The 'Shroom, where I've been frantically packing up everything of mine for vacation! That's right, I'm taking a trip to Isle Delfino for a well-deserved, long vacation. After the past year, can you blame me?

I don't have too much time, but I've got a few things to direct your attention towards. Firstly, the Ultimate Location Battle has reached its final stage! Give it a click to see which location has been crowned as the greatest location by 'Shroom law! I'll have to take my next vacation to wherever wins.

Additionally, the 'Shroomfest Highlights have arrived! Which team won between Warm Colors and Cool Colors, and how will our painting turn out? Go find out for yourself!

That's everything from me. Have a wonderful rest of your July, and take care of yourselves! Now where are my sunglasses? I've heard Sunny Day's always in effect on Isle Delfino...
