Good Citizens of BG,
It's no secret, as many of you are aware, that Brianna (know to most of you as Miyuki, or Evelynn, or Amaya/Severance) has decided to resign from staff and leave Bleach-Gotei. The hole this leaves in staff is only the beginning. Bri took care of many day to day activities such as the Faceclaims, the Big Brother/Big Sister program, and Pre-Approvals work. And she was also an invaluable contributor with her wisdom and experience in assisting me in grading Masteries, Milestones, and LCs, as well as helping all of staff with her input to Rank-up Requests. Not to mention her involvement with members of the community beyond her capacity as staff, as a writer, player, artists, and more.
I don't mean to make this sound too sentimental, but I hope you will join me in taking a moment to genuinely thank her for everything she's done over the last two years. Countless hours behind the scenes that she willingly gave to support our community can never be properly thanked, but a nice gesture of farewell is a good start.
With the elephant in the room addressed, I'd like to bring everyone up to speed on three recent staffing changes. We have a lot of stepping up to do collectively.
First, Brianna is no longer with staff effective as of 8/28.
The Second update many of you already know. Jian Oreachi has completed his Intern program and accepted a spot on staff. He'll be helping out all over the place, but focusing on Approvals and Chatbox Moderation.
Third, Robert Muhle was our most recent Intern. However, due to the overwhelming contributions he's made to the Rules Update as well as his gusto for devouring any and all wisdom we have regarding applications and requests, now is the time to announce his full promotion to the staff. He still has plenty to learn about but it's clear he is more than capable. Please join me in welcoming him!
In addition to staffing changes, we'll be swapping out the pips to reflect our new lineup as well as bring them into alignment for unifying style. Sorry if they are out of date for a little bit, but we're addressing that as soon as possible. Finishing the Rules Update remains our highest, immediate priority.
Please reach out to me on Skype or via PM for any questions.
