News / Tournaments

No, this is not a tournament announcement.

Nintendo has published guidelines on how to run #tournaments. I haven't read any of it, so I can't give you a summary, but this could potentially be pretty bad (I'm assuming the worst considering what's happening in the past with the #SuperSmashBros community).

We can also report that the theme for Splatoween is "Which would be the best friend?" But with the possible answers being a zombie, a skeleton, or a ghost, we think the answer is clear. Only one of them is real! Choose wisely—voting opens 10/20 at 1 AM PT.

Community / Matrix

So, we're starting to set up a Matrix space!

Please bear in mind that I still have to figure out some things, but if you want to join us, you can join our Matrix space with the link below!

https://matrix.to/#/#splatoonunofficial:matrix.org

I'm hoping to make this one of the freshest spaces for Splatoon on the fediverse, and make our communication a bit better.

There's still a few things I have to do on Matrix, it's not perfect and I need to fix stuff like room permissions tomorrow, but I hope this should get us a step closer to better communication.

Edit: @NorthWestWind has kindly made a Matrix bridge to the Discord server that @Butterfree set up for the Splatoon 3 Fediverse Championships (https://discord.gg/BgYD6YapUq), join at https://matrix.to/#/#splatoonfedi:matrix.northwestw.in.

Community / Tournaments

If you missed last night's Splatoon 3 Fediverse Championships, I just want to remind you that you can watch a replay of it on YouTube.

@NorthWestWind participated last night and streamed their perspective throughout. You can find their perspective at https://youtu.be/BvjRTKD4AbM.

And, if you want to see a no commentary replay, I was streaming it last night as well. I have chapters up so it's easier to navigate. You can find it at https://www.youtube.com/live/hJs43wCku8w.

Also, I'd like to reassure everyone that if we do this again, I want to try and put measures in place to make it a better experience.

Talking about events, would anyone be interested in maybe participating in a Splatoon 1 fun room? The servers are pretty dead since it went down back in March for a few months.

Congratulations to Rainbow SAILboats for winning the event. You can watch the tournament on the YouTube livestream replay linked!

Thank you to Shark Burger and Chilli Fryes for participating as well!

During the halloween weekend splatfest (what team are you choosing??), Splat 3 is bringing back Splatoween gear! You can pick it up in the “News” section on your switch, although the availability is TBA. If you haven’t already, check out Deep Cut and Squid Sisters’ costumes! https://x.com/splatoonna/status/1712815532154474706?s=46&t=HFeVAI6dVIWc5yiwB7SVSw https://x.com/splatoonna/status/1712876000659624269?s=46&t=HFeVAI6dVIWc5yiwB7SVSw

In case you missed it, Mahi-Mahi Resort will be closed for “renovations” 10/15 8PM ET - 10/17 10PM ET It will be out of rotation during this time, but looks promising for a much needed Mahi rework!

News / Eggstra Work

Oh, before I forget, there's an #EggstraWork shift happening on the 4th of November at 12am GMT, which ends on the 6th at 12am GMT.

I should have posted about this a day ago but I think I scrolled past this. (as a reminder, please nag me if I'm missing any news)

News / Maintenance

Any Mahi-Mahi fans out there? I doubt it.

Nintendo has announced that they'll be doing some cleaning / equipment replacement on Mahi-Mahi Resort which probably means that they'll be fixing Mahi-Mahi Resort.

The maintenance period starts at 1am BST on the 16th, and it'll end at 3am BST on the 18th.

So I just recently got to S rank, and my girlfriend is now saying she doesn't want to play with me because I'm such a high level 😅

How does matchmaking work for Splatoon 3? Will they average our levels for who to place us with? Or will it be based off of mine since I'm the highest level? Or possibly even just based off of who opened the room? I honestly have no idea, so any info is appreciated!

I made this vector art for the Mastodon instance I live in: wetdry.world. Follow me if you would like to.
