Season Changes On The Way

While we aren't ready to share any of the changes we'll be implementing in the coming season as of right now, another post will be released in the coming days once we've established and finalized all changes that are set to occur this season. If you haven't already, make sure you check out our Post-season Surveys that we've released in the previous Highlander Spring '24 - Winners & Award Recipients post. Feedback from these surveys will help shape future seasons so get it quick before they're gone forever... On that note...

Autumn '25 Feedback Form

For the time being we intend to move away from doing end of season surveys. They simply don't yield enough meaningful responses to justify doing them season after season. In their place we will be implementing a General Feedback Form which can be filled in at any point throughout the season. This form will then be looked at with all the submitted feedback, criticism and ideas at the end of each season and wiped going into the start of the next. Any other important data points from our previous Post-season Surveys such as map votes and whitelist changes will be moved to discord polls to incentivize responses in a simpler setting.

New Admins Wanted!

For this coming season we're looking to pick up 2 more Highlander Administrators to join the team. You can apply to join via the aforementioned Post-season Surveys or via our Staff Applications section on our forum. The position of Highlander Admin revolves around the smooth running of all highlander leagues, matches and competitions within ozfortress. This includes, but isn't limited too; settling match disputes, generating match pages on the website and match communication channels in the ozfortress captain's discord, discussing the internal progression and changes of seasons and events and spectating matches as a referee. If any of this interests you, Kai, redja, woozy and myself (Sperkle) would love to have you on our team.
