The 2022 SCG community poll is still going, but it only has a week left to go! Submit your vote if you haven't already done so~! https://www.scg.wtf/poll/23
The 2022 SCG community poll is now live! This is the first using our new polling system, it should be pretty straight forward, just a few things to note!
The link to do so is here, https://www.scg.wtf/poll/23, all the stuff below is just a bit of explanation!
This was built with fairness to the community in mind, a lot of it was inspired by someone from a different community who spoke extensively to me once about it. One aspect they discussed with me that stands out here is verification that votes to this poll are coming from the community and not at risk from harm.
Granted...the likeliness of this is slim. But this other community was a lot smaller than ours, and this person was still quite passionate about it. Because we're a furry community as well, it's a non-zero chance that it could happen. So what does that mean?
This particular poll requires you to have been on an SCG server before you can vote, it'll check using your Steam ID against the store database.
Also, this poll is still anonymous, I cannot associate anyone's entry with an account. At the very least, I can see who all voted but as I have hashed everything, it would be a pain in the ass for me to check and I am far too busy to ever bother. The hash mentioned is only so that you can not vote more than once on a particular poll!
I worry this is a bit much, but that is also a question on the poll itself, so if you agree or disagree, let me know! Or even tell me outside of the poll, I promise I won't cry!
As for the poll itself will run for 3 weeks, I hope to see a lot of votes cast! We'll do more, for different reasons and different questions, if there's anything you want to toss in that didn't make it in here, you'll get a chance next time!

Good morning~! The time has come, we have a couple big things in store for everyone! We've been working on a big update to the community website for a while and it is finally finished. This is an extension of the one we published early last year, Rowdy has been working on more here and there since.
We're all very excited for this, as we feel as though this helps bring new potential into SCG. There's so much I want to share, but I'll do it in pieces, today I'll start with two big things.
But not just any Wiki, not even MediaWiki, this one is ours. Rowdy made it himself from scratch, fully integrated into the SCG website. And it has all of the proper features, custom syntax support, editing tools, categorization, special robot pages, search tools, etc. It's not a work in progress, it's done, and it works.
However, what it lacks is content mostly, I've written over 100 articles (well, most of them are unfinished and some are just category pages). but that's where the next part comes in...
But first, so what is the Wiki for? Wikis are just generally useful overall, I plan to make it a super centralized database of all of whatever important information we have. Server commands, plugin info, community tools, etc. I also want to assemble a list of credits for...everything possible. I'll...talk about that one soon. But also like, SCG history, that'll be there too!
Okay so what about the help we need...?
No more using Google forms, we have one of our own now. It works the same exact way, I can build all sorts of neato forms and questionnaires. Do you know that feedback poll we kept talking about? You can actually go and vote for tomorrow! I know we said today, but we just want oneeee day to let this information flow around first!
To help keep the voting process good and stuff, this particular poll will require that you've played on SCG before, all you gotta do is login and it'll work. And if it doesn't...? Uh...maybe come talk to us! ^//^;; But like, that's one of the options we can do now with our own polling tool! Also, anything you submit, will be anonymous, like, nothing is associated with anything. We use hashes to make sure people don't double dip, but otherwise it's all anonymous!
Oh...so like...
You know what doesn't require any sort of special access? An open questionnaire asking if you'd like to be apart of the Wiki team! I'm assembling a team...on Discord~! A collaborative team to work together to help fill out the Wiki with the stuff we need! If you're interested in helping out, toss us your Discord ID here: https://www.scg.wtf/poll/21
These are some big things, Rowdy worked really hard! But there's still more to come! But I'll stop bugging you for now, before I go, Rowdy told me to include this, just a super condensed list of what all was done the last few months. X3
Yes, the formatting below is incorrect, it will be fixed when I push a website update over the weekend, I'd fix it now but I'm very sleepy, plz understand thank
I'd like to first give you an apology for how quiet things have been, it's been really busy around the observatory!
During the last few...oh I don't even want to think about it, there has been substantial work done to the behind the scenes of how SCG works, while our messages haven't been frequent, I can assure you, we've been having fun like always! You're going to be hearing a lot about the recent additions to our servers soon, as well as some new games and events along the horizon!
I originally wanted to announce something big today, but between all of the craziness in the world right now, as well as the imminent release of Elden Ring, I figure it is best to wait until Monday perhaps. PLUS, this will also help me test to see if the new news system works, so that's cool I guess!
Do me a favor will ya? If you read this post, mind giving it a thumbs up? If you do, Rowdy will be really happy, and if you didn't know, Rowdy isa ferret now. Happy ferrets are really cute, and you'll get to picture them in your head, isn't that worth it? :3
