    Spectating CTF Matches
    For a long time the process of spectating a CTF match has been both obnoxious and rigorous. However, thanks to the Brawl Developers, the process has been made easier with the new /spectate command! Instead of constantly spamming Senior Moderators and waiting for one of them to place you into the game, all staff members may now place players in a spectator mode more easily, which means CTF matches should be able to start and run more smoothly. Thanks Brawl Developers and happy capturing CTF!

    Featured Brawler
    When it comes to ratios, there is none better than this fantastic Brawler. On the forums, his helpfulness and popularity is evidenced by his post to rating ratio. Currently, he has accumulated more positive ratings than posts, an incredibly admirable feat by itself. However, his accomplishments don't simply end there. He also possesses an INSANE 10.09 kdr on McWar! We're not talking about some alt that farmed kdr either; this guy is level 53! Let's all give a hearty congratulations to this month's featured Brawler: @DarkTitan_! Keep up the good work in all areas of your Brawling!

    Trivia Question
    Last month's question was: Who has written the longest staff application as of 7/31/16 (words)?
    The correct answer was Algelier, who wrote the longest application with an impressive word count of 4800. @Algelier answered it first and earned a forums trophy!

    This month's question is: How many Minecraft accounts with the name of one the 25 Mario Party characters listed here have played Minecraft Party? (Names with spaces in them are disqualified as you can not have spaces in Minecraft names.)
    The answer will be revealed along with the winner in the next edition of The Brawl News.

    I think 12 have joined MCParty? Idk
    Lol still first

    You're gonna have a tough time getting the coupon code to 19kss.
    @McLinden8
    Congrats to @RiskyRuskii for Comments, Congrats to @_Featherpaw_ for Literature (I've always got next month :stuck_out_tongue:) and congrats to @DarkTitan_ for the featured Brawler!

    And congrats to all the staff promotions!

    I just checked, bang on 6 Mario characters have logged on MCParty :3
    I'm just curious, are they allowed to have underscores in replacement for spaces or no underscores and just one word?

    EDIT: A list of the ones that have gone on --> MCParty <-- (in case it's a requirement, I kept on being edgy. On Brawl a total of 9 have) - Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Toad.
    Thankfully I still one because I wrote six before everyone else :stuck_out_tongue:

    Bowser went on Brawl, yet he never logged on MCParty.
    Princess Peach was disqualified because she has a space in her name (underscores aren't allowed)

    Thank you for featuring my video! It's a honor. And congrats @DarkTitan_ !
    I guess they had to add this Pr0 advertisement, because the featured Brawler & the featured Videomaker are proud and loyal GSGers. hehe xD

    Which reminds me, @DarkTitan_ Needs to update his Brief to 'GSG Legend' rather than, 'PR0 MLG failure' xD

    It's funny how @Lekosa1 and his alts could have walked away with $85, but ended up getting $70.

    It's glitchy. Sometimes (usually early on) Your votes count but they don't get counted on the leaderboard.
    I wish he wasn't glitch because then I could've walked away with $15 :rage:

    Great month everyone
    Thats just depressing... 1 vote!

    Total Mario Party Names that logged onto McParty

    DonkeyKong
    KoopaKid
    Luigi
    Mario
    Toad
    Waluigi
    Wario
    Yoshi
    PrincessPeach
    Peach
    Daisy

    Names with spaces are disqualified but does Daisy and Peach count since both of these players have played party.

    With Daisy + Peach (party characters but they don't have the princess part)
    The answer is 8

    Without Daisy and Peach (Stricter rules)
    The answer is 6
