IRC Move Wait...it broke how many records?

Know Your Gnome
By BobNewbie

Sunset Valley, SimNation. After a recent study, scientists have found that 79% of all lawn gnomes are absent during certain hours a day. This has the town flooded with rumors that they may be in charge of the stealing of a 738. 883V. ery. b7ig ruby.

"I...I...I just...looked...and he wasn't there anymore." says a tearful Vita Alto (Adult).

Police have found and arrested an unknown amount of lawn gnomes. Currently, none are cooperating.

A anonymous pink flamingo has been interviewed and has apparently ignored the police's questions. He has been arrested and is standing trial for suspected Gnomicide.

At the time of publishing, the police were on hot pursuit of a local Sloppy Jalopy, hijacked by a group of gnomes.

We ask any users to please contact the local police immediately after they sight any gnomes. If one sees a massive mouse crusor hovering over your head, remember basic protocol: Stop, Drop, Pass Out.

Interview with new admin: Guilherme Guerreiro
'''Congrats! How does it feel Guilherme?'''

Well, I feel very happy for it, and rewarded because people got the consensus that I would become an admin. Yet I feel more responsible about maintaining the peace among users, because that's one of my new functions now, and I should fufill it, that's also one of the new feelings, I have now objectives to fulfill and I should take part in almost every discussions to become aware of my wiki's events now. In spite of having many new responsibilities, I feel very good for it and I hope my job satisfies the community.

Do you have any ideas on how to fix things and improve others?

Oh I haven't got many ideas to fix issues on Sims Wiki, and that's why I will try to participate in discussions more often to be aware of what's happening. Although, I have some ideas to improve new articles, especially when it comes to the ones regarding The Sims Medieval game, I'm thinking in creating a "List of Buffs" article and many more!!!

'''That's awesome! Is The Sims Wiki, in your opinion, the best The Sims Encyclopedia?'''

YES!!!! It's for sure the best Sims Encyclopedia!!! It has many excellent articles and it's for sure a very creative one, that's the reason ^^!

'''Thanks for your time! Any last words?'''

New Newsletter Icon
Our current Newsletter header and icon look quite dated, and we'd like to get a new one. If you're interested in creating a new header for future Newsletters, post your header designs here and they may be used in future Newsletters, or featured in a newsletter logo and header contest!

From The Editor
T  his newsletter doesn't write itself! Anyone who is willing to contribute ideas or articles should do so; you will be given credit for your contributions, and they stand a good chance of being included on the next Newsletter.

We also need column writers; who write one thing about a certain topic once each month. We would like to welcome Auror to the Newsletter team, who from now will write the Auror's Take column. We have an opening for a column called The Mod and More, which deals with mods and fan created objects, and we ask any modders to contact BobNewbie for more information.

Along with a new column writer, we would like to include one or two more members of the community to write for us, making us a 4-5 member journalism team. This team will communicate via e-mail and IRC to bring the community the best possible newsletter each month. The Sims Wiki Newsletter would also like to remind you of how fun it actually is to write for The Newsletter. We plan on growing and adding a whole ton of new things, from new game reviews by regular users, to in-depth articles concerning Wikia's changes and how they effect users. For now, growth is extremely limited, and we ask for as many possible users to apply to join.

If there's something you think we missed, tell us about it and we'll do our best to include it.

- Happy Simming and editing!
