First the minor but not necessarily less important one: our likeable fellow and admin MrZNF has decided to quit as an admin. We want to thank him for his efforts and wish him the best of luck in his go career!

Now to the major change: somehow it felt like there were not enough admins online to be available to you, the members. We hope it was not too bad to you and would like to announce that we have added not one, not two, not three, not four but five (!!!) new admins to our admin team. We would like to thank everyone who offered us their participation and sent they applications. Surely we had to take our time to think about our pick and after pondering about who it should be, we chose the following:

- Gleek / JustForFun
Gleek is an american admin-heavyweight – he is also a KGS admin!

 - hailthorn
A very young new admin from the states. Hopefully not as thorny as young.

 - nukeu666
Our first admin from India! Yummy indian cuisine…

 - davy014
Probably another admin-heavyweight – no championships between Gleek and him intended.

 - goatsunday
Now don’t get confused by the name he probably won’t be online only on sundays.

We hope to have a lot more presence on KGS to help you out on your issues. As always, feel free to ask questions especially to our new admins to get them involved to the hard ASR-admin-world. The profiles of the new admins will follow soon so you will get to know them better.

Happy ASRing!

Hi All,

Please welcome the new face on the ASR team – RBerenguel. He’s coming in with fresh ideas, enthusiasm, and motivation, and hopefully will allow us to carry on finding ways to improve the ASR and take it forward through 2012 and beyond!

- Graham

Another successful month is wrapping up, and there are a few new changes to announce for the new month.

Firstly, our admins hellsflame and kotomi have decided to take break from their work in the ASR. They’ve been an active part of the team for a few months now, so a great big thanks for your time and effort so far, and we hope to see you back around soon

Secondly, there are new superclass rules coming into play next month (and onwards) that should give a bit of additional motivation for those that have qualified to play there. For every Alpha player who has earned their place in the superclass, you have an opportunity to keep the place in the next month every time you manage to score 2 wins against other regular superclass players. Of course, winning 2 games against the quality of competition we have now is no easy task, as our Alpha representative sxjlove’s (KGS 6d) 0-3 record this month will testify. Obviously this may mean that more than one Alpha player is in the superclass in a given month, so it’s important to remember that only games against other regular superclassers count towards the 2 required wins.

I’d also like to make an ASR “fighting spirit” game of the month award, but I need nominations. Basically, any games where things were looking bad or difficult where you stuck in and fought it out to come back victorious is eligible. I’ll probably be doing the judging solo this month, but we may have votes on them if the idea becomes popular!

Lets start off by giving away those prizes from February!

hey everyone!

We decided that due to the size of gamma the safe zone should be extended. Now the top 12 players of Gamma will be safe from demotion. So make sure you reach those places and nothing can happen to you!

Good luck
