Board Update September 2024
It was a great pleasure Link, this is my last update as a now ex-board member c:
Thank you Linkies!!!
We’ve said it a bunch, but there’s not enough times we can thank all of you for giving us an amazing board year! We hope we were able to make Link as amazing for you as you yourself have made it for us. :)
Some of our favorite memories of our year!
Niels: Winning the FOSST sports day for Link, with our amazing team!
Adrian: hmmm, how about crushing it during our jackbox streams?
Joyce: Meeting all the new amazing people that joined Link and all the other associations
Joël: Getting new mice and keyboards for Spoint & upgrading the internet for Spoint!
Eleni: "\" & having dinner with Don't Link and Dive after they won a tournament!
There are too many memories to actually fit into one sentence!!
FTOTM
The September FTOTM was our last one as Board, and what a FTOTM it was! Linkies pulled up so hard that we broke our Board’s record for number of attendees at the FTOTM. 65(!!) of you joined us in taking over the O’Café :D
We look forward to seeing even more of you at our next FTOTM where we’ll be at the Olympia Sports Bar(OSB)!! The OSB has a much bigger capacity than the O’Café meaning we can definitely give the new board a huge first FTOTM!!
Board Game Night
Best way to get introduced to who we are as Link? Yelling at each other and accusing each other of course! (Secret Hitler)
During our Board Game Night we welcomed a lot of Link-curious people who surely have been convinced and are reading this as one of the newest members! ;)
It was a fun night where every table had laughs and even some competitive energy! It was the perfect way to welcome in some new Freshies and show some non-members who we are!
Spoorpark Chilltime
You know, when you’ve lived here for at least a year one of the first things you learn is how unpredictable the weather is here and how you can never trust any of those weather apps. Even with the threat of rain we Linkies braved the risk and headed to the Spoorpark!
While we were indeed met with some rain in the beginning it luckily fizzled out a few minutes after the start time of the event! The Spoorpark was dark due to the dark clouds above it, but on one of the hills you could swear it was a different story. Linkies brought their own brightness in the park!
Link D&D Stream
A new year means a new D&D campaign and what’s a better way to start it all off then with our Link D&D stream!
Our wonderful DMs recapped and discussed the ending of the last campaign, going over their favorite PCs and NPCs. But after answering any and all questions asked of them, they announced this year's campaign: ‘Beneath the Dragon’s Throne’! We also got introduced to 3 new DMs this year, Fenna, Ludwig and Adrian!
With our new Eastern inspired setting, a wonderful binder of overhauled races and an enthusiastic player base, we’re excited to see what comes of D&D this year!
Cottagecore One-Shot Night
Just what the heck is Cottagecore you might ask yourself. Well let me pull up the Wikipedia explanation real quick: Cottagecore is an internet aesthetic idealizing rural life. Originally based on a rural European life, it was developed throughout the 2010s and was first named cottagecore on Tumblr in 2018.
Seems like a pretty broad and open-to-interpretation kind of thing right? The DM’s of the one-shot night thought the same thing! Each DM had their table with a TTRPG of choice (Not just D&D!) and crafted their adventure using this theme.
GMA
The 24th of September is the day our Board year officially ended. Mixed emotions is the best way we could describe it. Happiness for the opportunity you, the members have given us. Sadness that our time as Board is over. Excitement for the new Board who got voted in as well!!
Speaking of the new Board, we look forward to seeing all their ideas for Link come to fruition and keep making Link the best esports and student association in The Netherlands!!
Spawnpoint Strivers
It’s back!! The first Spawnpoint Strivers of the year is a fact. They always be guilty-ing the gears amirite? 17 Linkies gathered once again in a double elimination battle to see if anyone lost any of their Guilty Gear skills during the summer or not.
Robert proved to be the least rusty of 'em all and took the tournament win this time! Will it be you next time? Better start practicing!
Look forward to the next editions and if you are a fighting game enjoyer give it a shot!
The Final Final Goodbye
We’ve already said it a bunch, but we cannot thank you enough for this opportunity! We look forward to seeing Link keep flourishing and being the best association!! ♥️
Dankjewel!
