SQUADRON NEWS
Firstly, a few changes to the staff around here. It’s my very great pleasure to welcome CMDR Maverick and CMDR Igikaizen to the Squadron Leadership team.
Mav joined the squadron way back in August 2020 when he got picked up by one of our combat wings during the Great Muffin Wars. Meanwhile Igi joined the squadron in August 2021, and after an impressively swift ascent joined the mentor team here in January this year. Both of these guys have been doing amazing work here on the server throughout this time, and it’s a huge pleasure to have them both on the leadership team.
I’m also very pleased to have CMDR Easy Glider and CMDR Demon5760 joining the mentor team. Easy joined the server back in November 2020 but was already an old hand at that point, and has been a consistently helpful member of the server for a very long time. On the other hand when Demon arrived here first back in July 2021, they were just about ready to leave the Noobula, but they have gained knowledge and experience rapidly, and have been keenly helping others along the path for the last few months.
I want to thank all of you for everything you do here. The time, energy and expertise you share helps to make NEWP the awesome place it is.
