What’s Happening?

Welcome to a brand new segment called What’s Happening? Here, we will go through all the latest server updates for the week! Of course, we can’t forget the casual HF Gossip! Let’s find out What’s Happening!

After a meeting with the Recruitment Division of the Help Force, som brand new changes were to take place, On 18th May 2020, The first server update was made:

  1. Segments Role: This role was made to reduce the amount of @here pings the Help Force would give. Now if you want to be notified about future segments, you have to type “!segments” in the commands channel.
  2. Mandatory Events: A brand new channel consisting of all the important events, that HF deems mandatory, this is to help more helpers see the message and get themselves prepared earlier.
  3. Demotions: Something no helper wants but is at times; needed. All those who had the Sergeant role or Higher was to be ripped off 2 Stripes and publicly announced if they had no valid reasoning for their attendance

Following these changes, the second server update was announced:

  1. All roles above Managing Officer had 3 Stripes instead of 2 to maintain consistency within the server
  2. Money for points: The bot shop was changed and now gave helpers the ability to buy points from the shop to climb high in the ranks!
  3. Two brand new roles were added to the server, “Segment Regular” that could be obtained by attending 5 Segments and “Segments Expert” by attending 10.

Now for more interesting and fun things, HF Comedy that practically every helper loses their mind through! Oh, and some discord things you may have missed as well!

Well, not much happened this week, we did see a bunch of old helpers join, we also saw Elp take a visit to the Commander, Admiral, Marshal, General and Recruiting Gods roles! take a look at some Screenshots we got!

Interviews

 

GoTW Interview
Dated: 17/05/2020

This week’s GoTW Interview is Krebi/Kr3bi, a helper from the US division that’s been with us for quite a while.

HFI: Hey Kr3bi! It’s so nice to be interviewing you today! To start off with our first question: How does it feel being GoTW?

Krebi: Thank you for having me! It feels amazing tbh, I feel so great and honoured every time i log on and join the chat

HFI: Aww we love having you in chat <3

Krebi: That is just wonderful, thank you <3!

HFI: If you can, can you tell us how you got GoTW?

Krebi: Of course! Since I’m currently home in quarantine I can attend events and segments in both AUSIA and EU timezones. Therefore I’ve this week attended almost every AUSIA and EU events and segments and gained a lot of points. One thing that encouraged me a bit extra to continue joining events was the Disney themed week. All of the events were great and it was amazing attending all of them!

HFI: Ooh, nice! I’m glad you enjoyed the theme week! Do you think you’ll ever try to get GoTW again?

Krebi: Maybe in the future, but I want others to have the opportunity to get it as well. But if I ever feel like that I’ve get a lot of time on my hands, who knows? I might aswell just go for it again

HFI: That’s really kind of you 🙂 It is a fun competition tho!

Krebi: Yea for sure, it really is fun!

HFI: So, since you’re our current GoTW, can you tell the blog what your command is and what it says/does?

Krebi: Oh yea! The command I chose to be added can be used by entering !motivate in the chat. It is a command that give these little motivational speeches :)). I like making people feel happy, and I want everyone to feel like they are more than enough!

HFI: Aww, that’s really nice:relaxed:. Now if it’s alright I’d like to ask a few personal questions just so we get to know you a bit better

Krebi: Yea of course, I would like people to get to know me a bit better! :slight_smile:

HFI: Great! Can you tell us some of your favorite hobbies or things to do outside of HF?

Krebi: I got two big hobbies. Firstly I play the violin both on my own and in an orchestra. I have recently received the information that I got into a pre uni program in classical music for next year where I will be playing a lot of violin and music. Secondly, I am a scout. In Sweden where I am from, we don’t have boy scouts and girl scouts separated and therefore we are just named scouts. I’ve been a scout seen I was very young and I’ve been to multiple camps and Jamborees around the world. Both of these things are super important to me and basically describes me as a person

HFI: Oh that’s really cool!! I’ve always like orchestra!

Krebi: Great! I haven’t played classical music for long but it’s the best. Playing in an orchestra is very engaging and just great

HFI: Now with quarantine I know there’s a LOT of free time. Besides violin and scouts, is there anything else you do to pass the time? Or any tips you can give to our readers about maintaining time during this pandemic?

Krebi: I have actually believe it or not started training a bit at home, push-ups or sit-ups are very easy to do every morning and evening, try it if you would like :). In Sweden we are actually still allowed to meet friends and that is something I’ve been doing sometimes with caution of course. But if I’m not training, meeting friends, playing in the orchestra or going to the scouts I am on my computer a lot. A lot of you probably have seen me playing Fortnite sometimes, and that’s something I do a lot when not attending events in HF ofc. I am also a part of a lot of different discord servers, therefore it’s usually very easy to get in touch with me through discord :slight_smile:

HFI: Looks like i’m packing my bags and moving to Sweden hahaha. It’s always nice to stay in touch with our friends, even if it’s through social media! I do have one final question!

Krebi: Yea social media is great as well, I mean without discord I wouldn’t be able to talk with all of you beautiful people <3! Alr, what’s your final question?

HFI: I know for some of our newer helpers it could seem a bit intimidating to jump right into, so are there any tips or advice you’d give to our helpers on how to get ranks/GoTW?

Krebi: I would advise you to attend events, I know it might seem intimidating to attend events and segments at first, but that will change after attending your first events or segs. I promise you it’s a fun experience attending events, and by receiving either points or promotions can sometimes feel even better. Try to attend a event as soon as possible even though it might seem scary. We are called Help Force for a reason, we will always help you if you have any questions on how different battle works etc. just ask anyone, we are glad to help :heart: :)). If you’re goal is to get GoTW, attend a lot of segments, that’s the best way to get a lot of points ;))


Leaders on the Rise
Dated: 18/05/2020

Today we interviewed Dawnables, a member known to all.

HFI: Hey Dawn! It’s really nice to see you as part of the force! I have our first question here to start: How long have you known/been part of Help Force?

Dawnables: Hiiiii I’ve known of HF since you guys came to CPA but never really bothered to interact till I was in ACP in the middle of my career so around march ig I joined in like May

HFI: Aww, well we’re really happy to have you here as an official helper! And speaking of, do you think you’ll ever work towards our GoTW?

Dawnables: I will probably work towards it when I can finally become active again XD I gotta have IRL first but I do plan on working for it soon maybe dunno just gonna wing it lol

HFI: Sounds like a plan! So, let’s get to know you a little more. What are some of your favorite hobbies or things to do outside of HF?

Dawnables: Well when I’m not in HF chat I grind a bunch of games and play guitar a bunch and be a clown as usual alongside my clown bud and according to Komal face-timing her :uh~2:
And just playing a sh*t ton of music and acting like Discord doesn’t exist

HFI: Oooh! I love hearing about all the musicians we have here. When you are in HF, what do you think is your favorite part?

Dawnables: I think I liked that night when me Moon, Hster, and a few others Alexnsdigjw3a49(Alexei) I think you were there. Me and Moon just went back and forth laughing and it was a really relaxed night so I think that’d be my favorite

HFI: Aww that’s so nice, I’ve got to close it here but, is there any final message or advice you’d like to give our helpers?

Dawnables: I’m not good with advice so uh ig ill say just vibe
