Hello, and welcome to the newest edition of TNFS Direct! This is a very special TNFS Direct, as a certain special event is coming up. :3
- Spoiler:
(thanks Queen)
That's right, the TNFS third anniversary is tomorrow! (or by the time you're likely reading this, today) I created TNFS back on June 30th, 2012, and at the time, never would've expected it to become such a great, welcoming, and fun community! We've changed quite a bit over the years, but we're still the same great community. So congrats to TNFS for 3 great years, here's to the next 3!
Every year for our anniversary, we have a special dedicated board to celebrate. In this board, feel free to post about your favorite TNFS memories, best parts of the year, etc. However, the main reason we have a board is because we also have tons of fun events to celebrate! I'm going to detail those events here so you know what's coming up! (Even if you don't want to look over every event, stick to the end, we do have other announcements :3)
First up, we have the Award Show! Luma Party will be hosting this. Now he'd been asking me constantly for the longest time about doing it, so I finally decided to let him. XD We have an Awards sub-board of the Anniversary board, with threads already made where you can vote for users. There are 13 different awards which you can vote for other users in. They can include best frequent poster, best artwork, and more. We've already nominated members for each award, as we wanted to try to include every active member for at least one award! (we may have missed a few however, I'm sorry if you weren't nominated for anything)
The awards are open to vote for now, and the voting will stop July 5th. Please cast your vote by then! The winners will be announced on July 6th!
Next up we have another show, the Quiz Show, hosted by Gameguy! Here you will be given some trivia questions relating to TNFS, and you can try to guess the answers through PM. Whoever gets the most right wins! (and there might just be a special prize, but you'll have to wait to see the official thread when Gameguy posts it :3)
The other event will be a big one, the TNFS World Championships! Similar to the Nintendo World Championships (inspired by the relaunch of them this year) you will play through (mostly) Nintendo games and try to get high scores, etc. to win the competition! These will run from July 1st to July 8th (possibly a bit later but we'll see) Now you'll basically just be posting screenshots or some kind of proof that you played. And I also understand that, obviously, not everyone owns every game. So we'll be letting you choose from a wide selection to play in certain categories. :3 But to give one certain game a tease just because I love it so much...I guess it's time to tell you all that...well, it's hard to say this but...I'm a squid now. :p
That's not all for playing games however, we'll also be hosting a Pokemon ORAS tournament at some point near the anniversary. This hasn't really been planned much however, so I don't have much to say yet. I don't even know if it'll be a tournament...but we'll be playing Pokemon at some point regardless.
That's not all however! We do have a few other announcements unrelated to anniversary events! First of all, our banner will soon be replaced. This is quite possibly the shortest run of any banner we've had, but it was definitely a nice one. (thanks Queen!) The reason it's being replaced is because I had some nice ideas for a new one (or should I say...ones...) We're still working on figuring it out though, so it won't be up for at least another few days. Just expect a replacement! We do like to change things around a bit every once in awhile, so it should be a nice addition.
Speaking of appearance, we'll also be replacing the Splatoon decorations! They've been up for a month now, I don't know why I never took them off.
But they will now be removed in favor of some anniversary celebration decorations! These should be added tomorrow!Also, Cubone has whipped up a nice batch of new badges recently, if you'd like to buy one, they're still available in the store! He did a nice job, it'd be a waste to have nobody buying any! It's 50 user points for a common badge, and 200 for a special one. Happy badge-buying!
Now that was quite a bit, but I did ask the staff to say something for the Direct. Unfortunately only two of them actually did, but it's still something lol.

Thank you Luma and Gameguy!
Now that I'm finally finished typing up all those announcements...that's about it! Thanks for reading! I'll see you next time on TNFS Direct! Happy Anniversary TNFS!
