Oh oh it's magic! I hope everyone who celebrated Halloween had a good one as we now enter the month of November looking back on the month that was October.

ORG MEMBERSHIP & STEAM GROUP
=========================================
Auxilium Org: Gained 14 new member but lost 1
Steam Group: Gained 7 new members
Discord: We are at 14 members total! (What's discord? See below!)

The member we lost decided to dedicate more time and energy towards their main org affiliation and in essence trimmed the fat. We can't make everyone a believer in our message but it's always good people have somewhere they feel they belong.

And yes October was one of largest growths in membership we've seen in a long time. Let's build off this momentum and carry it onward to November.

NEW CHAT SYTEM
=========================================
Teamspeak is no more! What's an org to do without Teamspeak? Well we decided as a group purely by display of increased activity levels, morale and absolute love of the program Discord to have Eckho to stop payment for Teamspeak.

So everyone, let Eckho know you appreciated his contribution! The beauty of Discord is that it cost nothing to any of our members. And it's more aligned with the aesthetics of our organization, plus people seem to love its more chat-centric focus.

Therefore if you haven't joined our Discord group please do at the following link....

It has a desktop, web, and mobile app so something for everyone.

NEW LEADERSHIP
=========================================
Anyone who has been using Discord has gotten to know the new rising star within Auxilium. Lodestar Eris has risen not only to Advocacy but is now our latest member to Advocate Review Council.

Of which if anyone would like to step up to the plate like Eris and take a chance to see if you would be a good fit for Advocacy please nominate yourself or someone else you might be a good choice on the following thread...

WHAT ELSE IS NEW
=========================================
A lot of structure, naming, policy changes are being discussed in the forums even right now as I post this so take an active role. In the month of October we finished up a 1st draft of our structure summary and drafted a FAQ. Once it gets a 2nd or 3rd look over you will eventually see it added to our website that is under construction.

So not bad considering that was on the To Do list last month and was knocked out.

FINAL WORD
=========================================
We are in a state of stable but constant change, I believe the best word is refinement yet some drastic changes can still occur. We want to make sure this is an organization where every voice is heard. It's why we work really hard on all our policies and draft the rules in which different branches of AID are to abide by.

As always your input is wanted, do not stay silent. This organization will be home to many players, we want it to be the sort of family you always wanted to have in a video game. And your participation ensures that becomes a reality.
