Recovery of Brawl

Surprise, I'm back. After a good amount of reconsideration and talking to Chap, I've decided to come back. This time with a different rank. I'll be explaining all of that and what I'll be doing at Brawl within this thread. Please take the time to read it before commenting.

What's going on?
I've worked out a new deal with Chap. It's been agreed that I will handle nearly everything, except for owning the assets. I'll be in charge of hiring, paying, organizing, making decisions, and everything else. With that, Chap will no longer have the "Owner" rank status on Brawl and I will instead.

I have quite the plans in store to re-energize Brawl. I'm still working on getting everything ironed out since this is quite the transition. Myself, the staff team, and community will need to work intelligently and efficiency in order to restore Brawl to a comfortable state.

What are the future plans?
Proceeding into the future, the plans are to make Brawl sustainable while increasing popularity and game amounts. To start, the main goal is to resolve all issues of management and organization. We need to be more efficient and well planned in order to restore Brawl quickly. Every gamemode should be paired with an active developer. Because of this, we will need to refocus on our popular gamemodes once we find and hire new developers. War and WarZ are already very close to a new version, so we're already off to a good start. Before spending money on advertising, the in-game and website layouts need to heavily change to just refresh everything. We've been running the same look at Brawl for a long time now and it would be good to touch it all up.

Heres my rough plan list so far: (out of order)

• New in-game systems
  • Voting improvements and heavier encouragement
  • Improved and better cosmetics
• Protocol changes/updates
  • Implementation of in-game warning system
  • Possibly more calm staff moderation
  • More strict and unforgiving for DDoS, DoX, and threats
• Staff
  • New systems for communication and efficiency
  • Resolve Build Team mangement
  • Find and hire more developers
• New formats
  • New website layout
  • New forums theme
  • Different TeamSpeak setup
  • Refresh/change of in-game look and feel
  • Implement a Discord
• Money
  • Reduce monthly expenses
  • Add Brawl themed merch
  • Sponsors and referral programs
  • Modification of forum advertisements
  • Advertise Brawl (off-site ads and YouTubers)

What we need from you
We simply need your understanding, patience, and encouragement. It is essential in Brawl's restoration for the community to be more positive. No one wants to join a negative community and I'm afraid that's what Brawl is lately. With a new active lead, I hope we will turn around everyone's outlook on the future. The staff team and community will have to work together in order to restore Brawl. The staff cannot do it by themselves.

To conclude
I'm very eager to get these plans flowing. If you have any questions, feel free to leave them below. Let's get everything addressed as soon as possible. I hope to keep an open window of staff to player communication.

Thanks,
