The Global Blind Colonel Tournament
The Global Blind Colonel Tournament will be a week-long event in which every participant tries their hardest to bring down the ultimate enemy, Colonel Schwarlitz Longhener, and sing to him his final swan song in impenetrable barrage glory. Will you be the challenger fierce enough to take him down? Apply here: https://forms.gle/hWM5bPvfLYFmBAmw5
A separate form will be made for the Chinese community in order to prevent firewall mishaps.
Applications will be scanned by a committee of organizers helping to run the event. If you have been accepted, an invitation will be sent to you through a direct message.
Although this is being referred to as a "tourney," the participation rules will be pretty relaxed; the main goal is for everyone to have fun trying to take down the Colonel. The event will span from October 14th to October 21st, roughly 10 years after the original event took place. You are not required to stream on any platforms however video recording is encouraged and may be required for tracking any personal bests. Any further questions should be directed to either alicenobodi or iruenn on discord, the two main hosts of the event.

Fangame Awards Nominations Open
We've had a bunch of fantastic fangames come out this year, and as such, we're happy to announce the Fangame Awards 2022 nomination process is now open! The show now consists of 18 unique categories, plus 4 Community Awards, made of all the genres we know and love from these games. Just like last time, you may submit your TOP 3 nominees you think best fit each category. Of course, submitting just one nominee is also fine but we ask to avoid leaving blank answers if possible. If you wish to provide multiple nominees for a category, please separate each nominee with only a comma and use their full titles (e.g. I Wanna be the Dreamroamer,I Wanna Burnmind,I Wanna Arcana of the Tarot). Keep in mind, the ordering for your nominations will matter and be graded respectively as the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places for a certain category.
You can find the nomination form here: https://forms.gle/KgGWSxcDjWZYyUpM8 If you're unable to view it, Ghost made another form in English and Chinese at this link: https://shimo.im/forms/f6JdSeXRDhYT3TwY/fill
