Shotbow

Hello Shotbow, I hope all of you had a wonderful start of 2023. My name is Axyy and today I will be taking you through everything that happened last month!

Network Updates
Mine Theft Auto Shutting Down
Last month we announced that the Mine Theft Auto project has been discontinued. You can find the reasons for this in the forum announcement here.

When in Rogue Garaged
After running for several months without an active staff team, When in Rogue was moved back to the garage this week. When in Rogue became available last year through several open weekends, after which it was added to the Experiments section. However, although some development took place on When in Rogue, the team has always been very small, and in the past few months not available to work on When in Rogue. This meant that bugs or other issues could not be resolved. To ensure that we offer games that are in a playable state, we made the decision to move When in Rogue into the garage.

Welcome Anni Players,

I'm very happy and proud to introduce the Annihilation Clan Tournament of 2023! This thread will provide you with all the necessary information regarding clans, requirements, prizes and registrations. So please, make sure to read through this carefully before signing up for the tournament!

Discord
After your clan has signed up for the tournament, the clan leader will receive an invite link to the official 2023 Clan Tournament Discord server. All necessary information will be sent directly to this server, this includes scheduling of the matches and internal tournament rules. Please note that every clan will receive an invite link with a maximum of 13 uses. Upon joining the server a player must verify which clan they're from.

Participation
During this tournament, we will allow each clan to submit a roster of 13 players, yet only 10 players will be able to play during a game. This means you can have 3 players on stand-by. We will not allow players to play for more than one clan during the tournament, this includes using alt accounts. If you are caught doing this, your accounts will be permanently banned and the clans involved will be penalized with points or even disqualified. However, we will investigate before making decisions on the matter.

Games & Formatting
The tournament will be running throughout February & March. We will be offering 3 different schedules for games, these are suitable timezones for American, European and Asian players. This will all be discussed between clan leaders in the official tournament Discord. We will try to host on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays as much as we can.

For now we can only say that the matches will be 1v1 and the tournament will start with a group stage and then play knockout matches. The rest of the details will eventually be announced in the official tournament discord.

Prizes
We will be having some exciting prizes for 1st and 2nd place!

• 1st place - Special Colored Clan-Tag, 50k Shotbow-XP each & Exclusive Lobby Cosmetic
• 2nd place - 25k Shotbow-XP each & Exclusive Lobby Cosmetic

Register
Before signing up, here are some things you should know:

• Maximum of 13 players per clan
• None of your clan members are allowed to play for other clans during the tournament
• Once the tournament starts clans cannot add more people to their rosters

If your clan is interested in participating, the clan leader must provide the following information:

• Clan name:
• Clan members:

You will then receive a message in your forums inbox with the final steps to enter the tournament.

Event Helper Applications
In addition to recently welcoming The Events Team to Shotbow, we are now accepting applications for it. What are the exact purposes of the team and why have we decided to do so? As explained in the latest Dentril's New Moon, the Event Team will be focusing on hosting events and tournaments on a weekly basis. Besides that, they will also be monitoring suggestions sent in by the community through the official Shotbow Discord.

• Monitoring event suggestions sent in by the community
• Assisting the event team with event marketing efforts

Please note that Event Helpers are not officially part of the Shotbow staff-team. However, if you prove yourself to by worthy of a promotion you will have a chance at becoming Event Staff, and this comes with ranks on the server, forums and our discord-server.
